Belgian Midfielder Mousa |
Mousa Dembele is a 28 year-old Belgian* central midfielder who's made 102 starts for Spurs since 2012. Prior to that, he played for Fulham, making him an instant G:TB favorite. It was during his
time at Fulham that manager Martin Jol said, "Dembele is probably the best player on the ball I have ever seen." To be fair, that kind of judgment is likely what got Jol shitcanned after failing miserably to keep the Cottagers from being relegated two years ago.
(* How many of you knew that Belgium is currently the number one team in the FIFA World Rankings? It's thought that shots on goal are part of that calculation, and the Red Devils' 68 shots against the U.S. and Tim Howard in the 2014 World Cup contributing to their position.)
Not satisfied with one Mous(s)a Dembele, Tottenham management made a bold move this week, signing forward Moussa Dembele from...Fulham. This Dembele is a 19 year-old Frenchman who's tallied 11 goals for a middling (this is a very kind description) Fulham side that's barely above the Championship relegation zone.
French Striker Moussa |
Maybe they should reach out to Moussa Dembele, who competed in the 110-meter hurdles for Senegal in the 2012 Olympics. He's only 27 years old, and he's fast as hell. No idea if he can kick a soccer ball or not, but how can Spurs go wrong with three Moussi Dembele?
They can't, that's how.
To close this shitshow of punnery, please enjoy a little Bob Marley while I tell you that Spurs are going to finish in the top four and make it to Champions League play next year. I believe I've already told you that, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

It's wide open for them. Very few squads playing consistently quality football this season.
At this point we all need to be rooting for Jamie "chat shit, get banged" Vardy and Leicester. Not enough underdog stories in the BPL these days.
lotta arsenal fans here, then?
zson's friend was here with his mom and somehow our conversation steered towards vaccinations and it came >>this close<< to going off the rails when the kid's mom starting a sentence with "Well the doctor who is running for president says ..." and zdaughter luckily fell off her chair and cried, averting disaster.

It's pretty good.
Lady Edith could catch it and her inability to do so is a remarkably nonsensical plot point, especially when Lady Mary and her crazy eyebrows is constantly kicking it away.
I'm all in on Lady Edith. The actress who plays here is way cute. Lady Mary has the body of an 11 y/o boy.
We fell off the Downton bandwagon. I couldn't get the wife into the idea of seeing Mrs. Hughes' big hammers when Mr. Carson lays the wood to her.
Not bad, Kenny. Genesis Live - art house PG era or Three Sides Live?
I want off the Downton wagon but zwoman is a completist, which is why we watched all of True Blood even after it shat the bed.
If you're looking for something to add to your Netflix queue, check out Twin Peaks (again). It really holds up, especially season 1 and the first half of season 2.
You know the answer to that Whit. Btdubs total spend about 65 bucks.
I'm on Peaky Blinders.
I have been sucked into the vinyl vortex recently. I got Shakedown Street, Moondance and the excellent Sam's Town (Killers). It followed the purchase of a "real" record player.
My kids have begrudgingly gotten used to Sunday AM vinyl. It was Darkness on the Edge of Town and Get Your Ya Yas Out this morning.
why is nobody talking about the tribe's 18-point comeback to beat jmu? is it because we're sad for danimal?
