The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE MANIC MONDAY EDITION 2nd July 2012

You are right happy spur however you must realisethat forums work in cycles. Where there is no football being played in the summer ITK is one of the main reasons anyone will post. In the season admittedly this site is amazing with views and opinions alike...... ITK is what the summer is all about!

I'm sure that you'll still hear stuff before the rags somehow

Feels like it. I'll have to talk to the misuss now.

Transfer window has been open 2 days and youve silenced the best ITK

its gonna be one fucking long summer.

That is the main reason for this ITK thread.... if we have only one true ITK then the rest will be discounted.

Imagine not knowing the truth..... Believing all the ITK posted were to come true, come here every day waiting on POTL, BEN, etc to drop something to feed on, anything even though deep down it won’t happen.

Imagine last day of the transfer window, we login and hope something would happen...The JJ says don’t bother as we are not signing anyone.

Imagine if JJ said the truth of no deals this weekend, how would you have felt come July the 1st.

Imagine dreaming we were to sign the Aguero last summer, and jj said NO we are not!!

Imagine if there was no JJ, and all we had was just Dreams.

Imagine if there was no meltdown

Imagine if we only had 10 post in the ITK RO

Imagine if you had taken the red pill and not the Blue pill.

Thanks JJ

Who's the replacement going to be then? Maybe POTL is getting transferred over for a fee of the next 8 years of server donations

Is there any way this could've happened, with all of us knowing it was happening, without someone spelling it out so blatantly !

I must stop thinking out loud

Too late now but creating a separate identity to just post ITK with seems the way to go. That way, if you're a regular poster too, you can retain your anonimity.

Why too late? After the dust settles I'm sure he'll be mixing it up again.

Sky sources understand that COYS are in negotiations with SC for the transfer of JJetset for undisclosed fee! Should be announced within 24 hours!

I get the feeling you're not POTL's biggest fan, Dan.

It's more the sycophantism of COYS I dislike.

POTL is just another egotistical agent ITK who happens to have 3 Spurs players on his books.

Fine, it seems really simple to me....if he wants to post itk then he posts in the RO. If he enters the itk or any other thread it is to chat only. People will learn quickly when the ban stick comes out. JJ is/was a massive asset to this forum, we the members certainly have to carry a lot of blame for this, but Rob et al need to also realise that JJ's loss is only to the detriment of this great forum. Its a damn shame for SC if they don't try to find a compromise that works.

I agree. Particularly with the part regarding ourselves. He could post in the RO, as you say; but for general banter, he's probably gonna have to have a seperate account.

On the flip side of the coin, what if A&C is right regarding the Club's monitoring of the Forum. I'd much rather the ITK be stemmed if it genuinely benefitted the Club, however since we've delisted, I would've thought that the likelihood of a leak being detrimental to the Club would be reduced.

Still, he was bang on about AVB being announced last weekend.

Oh....

POTL's info about who would and would not be playing in matches is usually spot on, but his info on transfers has been patchy for a while now IMO.

Is it definitely confirmed he's an agent? If so, your post is right on the money. I don't see how an agent would have access to some of the club information he posts?

Shame POTL's itk always come off as either an educated guess, old news or a cryptic that there always could be 1000 answers for. We had one top ITK, and that was always JJ

POTL was the best around by a distance or a while, but I get the impression that he's been blagging it to a large extent over the last 2-3 windows. Has come out with hardly any original info that I can think of during that time and has been dead wrong on a number of things. For what ever reason he seems to be well behind certain others now. He seems like quite an egotistical sort so no surprises that he might try to keep the high going superficially.

JJ on the other hand was/is the man. Most reliable itk I've known by a million miles. I've seen that some other clubs have had people like this and I envied them. Was great for us to finally have our own proper itk who cut through all the bullshit. Aside from maybe Peanut (who posts rarely) and Ryan for the Harry stuff JJ was the only one that I would take full notice of (though Akqa has impressed this window tbf). Gonna severely miss JJ's input. That void is only going to be filled by a bunch of chancers and wum's now. This is no good. We will be a more ignorant community without him

Was good at first on COYS but your right, patchy now. Most are. Spurs have plugged leaks.

I've seen at least two instances of ITK bashing over the last few pages. You know the consequences, right? Don't confuse being slack on the spam = anything goes.

Kidding man, don't take it to heart !

The compromise should be JJ posts in the RO. And still uses the ITK thread to chat but as soon as someone asks him questions they get hounded out or banned. Only way to sort this mess out. To lose JJ from this site would be devastating.

JJ hinted heavily that he was Lennon's agent (a guy called Frank Trimboli)

As Spurger just said, POTL is spot on with team news/injuries - that's where he made his reputation. That's the kind of thing Lennon, Hudd and Naughton would know from Friday's training.

He's never been accurate with transfers though. Certainly not transfers at strategic level. The blue and yellow debarcle really demystified him on transfers for good.

A&C didn't say JJ is not allowed to post on SC anymore. He said that JJ can't post in THIS THREAD anymore. I think people are missing that fact. There will still be info JJ deems worthy in the RO i would imagine...

He called VDV before anyone though.

Lennon and Hudd would not have known that, POTL called VDV long before SSN got wind of it

Thought Rob officially made POTL an exception to that rule after his behaviour towards posters here? ;-)

Apologies if I've erred towards the line - was trying to be analytical about his information, not dismissive of it.
