Sounds promising, after all.Before that, we field some of your questions about Lee Carsley, Harry Kane (but not his golden Sketchers), and an unhappy Eddie Howe. Plus, Mauricio Pochettino puts pen to paper and moves to the land of the lemons. How will he got on in the US of A?Want to vote in more ridiculous polls?
