fans who can put a few paragraphs together.
Having spotted a gaping hole in SC's squad, we're in negotiations with another forum to bring a few in this transfer window.

However, we're using Levy tactics and I think we've been rumbled.

I can spell paragraff if that helps with my application.

Same old shit then. I don't watch it any more because they just come up with the same crap, trying their hardest to dismantle our squad.

Jeremy Wilson is still bitter that Poch left Southampton I see.

It was just nothingness today.

Yes dismantle our squad so these players can go to the pundits darling clubs and get praised.

Feckwits...they are at a great club. Praise them now.

I've already got a £50 bet with a manc in my local. He says Alli won't be at Spurs start of next season.

If these pundits wish to move this player and that player, why not fulfil their ambitions and become an estate agent.

Get to move people everyday.

I have a £30 bet with a scum friend, he says rose will sign for Chelsea in the summer. Like printing money for me.

yeah that was a new low. Not one of them even mentioned that Toby was just back from injury and was being saved for Juventus

It’s like they’re willingly myopic

Journos and pundits are doing this for a living so just say what the majority of fans want. And that is for our success to come to an end.
They should be discussing the new stadium and our freakishly large increase in turnover which will allow us to pay decent wages, or the fact we can field two top class starting elevens to compete in 2 games a week.
But then this would only upset all non spurs supporting fans leading to viewing figures dropping.
I just don't bother with them anymore.

These guys are generally clueless, I saw it and they all seemed to think that the reason why Poch was upset with the reporter is because there's something going on behind the scenes with Alderweireld where they think he might be off in the summer.

It's just astounding but not surprising to be fair but they are all desperate to create a narrative that they genuinely believe their own bullshit. I'm not convinced that there's a media conspiracy and bias against us but I am convinced that these guys are just a bunch of fucking idiots desperate to create controversy due to the remit of their jobs.

Yeah I agree with that, what made me laugh is when Alyson Rudd suggested it was probably none of the sort, and that maybe Poch got the hump because the journalists questioning implied that they could pick the team better than Poch did, she was scoffed at.

They completely ignored the fact that Toby has been out for 3? months, and had played a full 90 minutes just 72 hours before the NLD, it's really not surprising the questioning irked him a bit.

I wonder if Jeremy Wilson was the Jeremy who got put in his place by our press bloke a couple of weeks back, he certainly seemed to have a bit of an axe to grind.
I thought Steve Bates was pretty fair in his comments, but it was still the usual 12 minutes of 'can we keep our best players/manager ', followed by three minutes of how good we were yesterday.

Can’t believe this show is still on

Past it’s sell by date years ago as are most of the journos on there hanging onto their jobs by the skin of their teeth whilst the internet makes their outdated and uninformed opinions less and less relevant or influential

What they all fail to realise is that maybe our players are happy and content with life at Spurs and are ready to commit their futures here, Yes, we're not the best payers, but we are certainly not the worse and I image most of our first team squad are well rewarded.
The way the media portrays us as some-kind of pimp, holding our employees against their will and rewarding them each week with a few quid for pocket money is starting to wear a little thin.

Good shout on that Jeremy prick

Watched the bit about Tottenham this week and i am convinced it's in Neil Ashton's contract to say once a week 'of course <insert Tottenham player or manager> would leave Tottenham if Real Madrid came calling, no one can turn down Real Madrid '

A few times this week in the States, a basketball player has refused to answer their inane questions. Russell Westbrook even said 'what's my answer?' - because he's asked the same question game after game - nodded when the journo repeated back exactly what he always says and walked off.

Some of the UK football writers are stealing a living and many better writers find themselves 'stuck' making their own blogs or on the outside looking in at sites like Football365 and Goal.

It’s a shame as I like the format. It’s just the people they have on are just so poor, or are at least directed to be poor by Ashton. When they get that Sami guy from the Mail on, I want to put my fist through the TV.

Wish James Richardson did it. Feels like the whole tone and approach needs updating, the reverence to the papers as if they’re tomes of scripture is farcical in this day and age

Yeah I stopped watching this, can't stand most of the people on there. There's also just a tone to the show and the people on there that I really hate. It's hard to describe, but even the woman they had on there today was exactly the same, with that kind of bland, dry, know it all, pompous persona.
