'Imminent' in relation to Torres from MattJB was another classic.

Nothing beats 'Falcao...goodnight', though.

Fazzas meltdown went on for about 2 hours. Blue and yellow went on the whole window. falcao goodnight lasted about 10 seconds before everyone slated it.

Holtby on a plane was one of the best, can't remember who it was.

Cabbages was so annoying, that one drove me mental.

Fazza's "there is a distinct whiff of Vodka in there air over Tottenham" a couple of hours before Assnal announced him, was pretty hilarious.

It was funny how POTL was on such a pedestal, was that a COYS thing? He barely got anything accurate at all and when the Willian thing happened it was as if he'd been rumbled finally.

Not true at all POTL had surprisingly good hit rate, particularly compared to the very high number of ITKs at the time. I think someone did a comparison back in those days and POTL was pretty high up. Infuriating yes, but he definitely had information.

Literally Willian had a medical and all at Spurs, everyone thought it was done. I can't think of any other times such a thing happened.


Why did POTL stop posting ITK after Willian-gate?

We had actually pretty much signed him so not really his fault as his info was correct to an extent?

I think people got fed up with him, with the blue and yellow and whatnot. I think a lot of ITK's were getting a lot of criticism and called it a day, particularly as at that time you had Aquayid, Adiepf and Dan Ashcroft all essentially being outed as fakes.

We get a lot less ITK now, I think part of it is the club is a lot more secure of the information, a lot leaks also came from staff no longer at the club, but also I think there is less of a hype about it. Though I am sure that the club do know the identity of at least some of the ITK, its sometimes useful to have such a direct contact with the fans.

Ah yeah Dan Ashcroft, I remember him!

He was okay at leat at first I think, didn’t he have close links to Gus Poyet so his info was correct for a time until Poyet left.

Cabbages is the only cryptic I have ever solved for everyone but nothing will beat blue and yellow. Am I right in thinking that it was the real first piece of cryptic ITK?

Hmmm, I think people got swept up in it to be honest, cant really remember anything that he called, only that nobody could question him on it.

No, he interviewed Poyet once and then told everyone his inside shoe size and the favourite foods of his children moving forward.

Best thing Dan Ashcroft did was create multiple accounts but not be able to post in a different style so it took about 2 days to work out which one he was.

I can't remember anyone solving cabbage. I remember people thinking they'd solved it. But then again, I walk into the toilet and can't remember what I went in there for so there's a massive chance I could be wrong :D

The “Ask Dan Ashcroft” thread had the most disgraceful levels of brown-nosing for snippets of info. Absolute scenes in there.

Blue and Yellow wins though.

He definitely had connections as he used to call team news way before the media or when it was official.

I'm not saying he had zero info, just that he wasn't ever one of the most accurate. For every bit of team news there was just as many Micah Richards, Ade & Lass, etc etc

Blue and Yellow hands down for me. One of the last stands of POTL's fall from grace.

Adiepf deserves a shout out though for his incredible imagination.
