Physical Intelligence - Day 47

LEICESTER CITY 1 TOTTENHAM 6

That is the score that accompanied a double dose of gym and today was glory, glory, sweet sweat. I was wondering how an end of season game with nothing to play for could live up to any expectations (other than not capitulate to the opposition which is what happened last year).  This year it was the 2015-16 Premier League Champions who capitulated and in so doing brought the curtain down on their fairy tale season last year.  This is gym life at its best, a dynamic performance which is accompanied by what is still rare killer instinct.  It is an instinct that won Chelsea the Championship for 2016-17 this year. 

What was most satisfying was seeing FOUR goals from Harry Kane to put him two goals ahead in the scoring for the Golden Boot.  (top premier league scorer) and with Hull to play in the last game and considering he missed a quarter of the season through injury, this is a remarkable performance.  So much so it is funny to see nbcsports artistic depiction of "Harry Kane" :

That story ran back in 2015 and holding on to his coat-tails is Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy and the Spanish striker Roberto Soldado whose complete failure as a striker at Spurs paved the introduction and the way for Harry Kane.  Such is soccer that people can make it this irreverent.

Considering that there is slalom of parties that I will be going to this summer, spending valuable hours in the gym was both refreshing physically and a tonic in terms of absolute entertainment value.  Who would have thought that such a game expected to be an end of season snore-draw could be a memorable blow-out, one that is the worst score inflicted to Leicester in the history of playing them and that history goes back a long time.

Of course the one thing that is always a worry is the cheque book size of Real Madrid whose Galacticos mentality will warm with a triple digit million dollar attempt to buy him, as well as Deli Alli - but these are good times for Spurs and even those players who are may seek their fortune elsewhere like what seems the departing Kyle Walker do not really matter - so long one of the Manchester clubs pays $50 million for this defender.  That would be very good business. As for today the business of going to the gym was considerably enhanced with this great end of season performance - and now I look forward to going to the gym on Sunday to see Spurs play at relegated Hull City and cap off what has been an absolutely brilliant season.
