I am not complaining. I am just asking. Obviously I can't give to A&C because I didnt whore it from the other sites in first place.


...
Probably I shouldn't have asked about this, in hindsight.:banghead:
Sorry, perhaps I was being harsh. Thanks for the details on the posts, I've copied into the RO & asked for the original whores to get the credit.

My point was that you can stick the info in the RO yourself. You don't have to be the person who whores it.

That's the problem. You're welcome to hold an opinion if you like but you ain't entitled to shit.

The argument that paying money for a ticket somehow entitles you to something makes you a customer of THFC not a supporter.

But I pay my taxes ... ;)

You should rewatch the Palace and Liverpool game from the end of the season, the fans reaction at 3-0 and then at each goal spurred the players to keep going, no way that would have happened at Spurs. The ground would have been half empty if we were losing by 3....
You're kidding yourself. While the ground may well be half empty when we go 3-0 down, if we score, the remaining crowd gets excited and starts cheering. It's the events on the pitch which drive the excitement. In the Palace-Liverpool game, the support from the Palace fans was constant, (as it was in every game I saw them involved in) even while they were going 3-0 down. It clearly wasn't any help then was it? It wasn't any help when they were at the bottom of the table was it? The support was remarkable, but it wasn't particularly influential. You may be able to quote players saying how important it is ( from any club), but that is because they don't want to get on the wrong side of the fans who make most noise, because if it is turned against them, they know they'll suffer.

I will be amazed but absolutely delighted if Hugo is still here next season. Possibly the best news we could have this window.

Not selling any of our best players and securing a couple of signings in the CB and LB positions will be a very successful window.

The real test of time to see if these players stay will be after the world cup, normally when they go away to intl tournaments with their team mates they get tapped up to hell so I wouldn't count any chickens yet.

Unfortunately, I don't think we can say for certain that any of our players are staying until 1/9/2014. A big bid comes in and the landscape changes.

The thing with goalkeepers is it isn't a trendy position and most of the best teams have already got good keepers in situ.

Lloris' reputation hasn't necessarily grown, apart from in our eyes, since we bought him; the money teams could have gone for him then but he came here.

Johnny Billionaire doesn't look at his team and say 'we need a keeper' unless they've had a Gomes of a season. They want forwards and Brazilians like the rest of us. Throw in the possibility of Chelsea having a top guy maybe for sale and are clubs gonna try and prize Lloris from Levy's cold dead hands? Maybe not.

Levy isn't half a tart at times but fuck me, Lloris for £10m. Nothing short of genius. Definitely one of our best signings of the decade.

I remember skipping class to watch fucking Sky Sports on that deadline day and it was all worth it to see Lloris come in. He's one of the best players we'll ever have and we need to do everything we can to hold onto him, especially since clubs don't spend too much on keepers. There really just isn't a value that you could put on him.

You pays ya money and you take your choice.

Being self righteous and holier than thou, serves you no favours at all.

You last paragraph could have been written seven or eight times during Levy's reign (just insert Santini, Jol, Ramos, Redknapp, AVB, or Sherwood for Poch) and perhaps that's the reason for such pessimism from some who contribute on here.

I have paid for a season ticket each year for the last thirty years, and feel that i am entitled to an opinion on the team, it's manager or coach (or flavour of the month) and the main board. If you actually blocked all the SC members who leveled criticism of the team and management over the course of a season then you'd end up replying to your own posts.

Finally, by stating that "FFS, this season was a disaster, Lloris and Eriksen aside, there was absolutely nothing to write home about" isn't that what your ranting is against?

Were you "pulling in the same direction" last season?

Just wondering like.
I'm making the point that we had a bad season, and apart from Hugo and Christian, there is absolutely no need to point fingers at individual players and call them "shit" and "the worst _____ i've ever seen at the club".

It's venomous and totally unnecessary. I'm glad you've had a season ticket for that long, but it doesn't mean your opinion is valued any more than any other spurs fan, nobody should have "the right" to criticise players. Thats not a dig mate, its just fact, were all spurs fans.

I'm just angry because i COULD understand the anger about last season, because it was bad. But essentially we've started a clean slate, and yet some people still want to persist with criticising players just for the sake of criticising them.

And i bet you they'll be the same people who moan at the board and the players and say its all their fault if our season goes tits up.

Because of the lack of ITK to discuss these last few days I thought
Not believing all the negative rubbish written about Katie Price and, wanting to show that someone appreciated her, I sent her one of those scented candles for her birthday.

She sent it back saying it made her minge itch.
