Hard to believe but Poch in great spirits in presser apparently (Dan Kilpatrick)....
probably off his tits on crack

Fuck you Levy you bald bastard, I'm going to douse you in birdfeed andhang you outside the highest window in the tallest tower by your ears until the pigeons attack and rip you limb from limb
Deserve him or not, he's paying for him through the noseLevy doesn't deserve Poch. The guy is class.
Thanks for the memories Poch.
His English is really coming along.For those of you who missed Pochettino's presser, he said:
Not sure, but who could blame him if someone like Madrid come in for him. He deserves better than Levy.Honestly what are the odds he's still here this time next year?
You’re right that the sort of argument I use can (italics) be used to raise the standard of proof to some unreasonably high epistemological standard (never thought I’d write a sentence like that on spurs forum!).Moved here not to clog up the itk thread.
I am not having a go at you le parisien, and quoting you because I know you enjoy to discuss issues of argumentation.
I think one has to be careful of using the argumentative tool that : "no one can know/prove what such and such thinks/did" too much or too strongly.
IMO when this is done it may simply become a deflective device to raise the evidentiary bar so high that the only thing that will be acceptable is something akin to a signed statement. It then becomes simply a glib rejection of reasonable conclusions that are in fact based upon a range of evidence, without really dealing with that supporting evidence.
I note in this case that you are dealing with the quotes only, and that there is room for some debate if one deals only with that.
For what it is worth, IMO both the short and fuller quotes certainly give rise to a reasonable conclusion that poch wanted to spend money on transfers (esp, but not only, the bit about Daniel listening and creating together).
But, regardless, the quote has to be read in the broader context of events, and there are an overwhelming number of indicators that poch and the club wanted quality signings, including of course our whole transfer roller coaster (zaha, martial etc etc). So, in this case I don't see the no proof argument as being helpful.
We will never have anything more than evidence that supports reasonable conclusions, and I think we should be able to comment and critique on that basis.
Call me old fashioned, but even today I am far more concerned with what happens in our match this Saturday.His English is really coming along.

Frankly, when I see the great players on our teamsheet at kick off I really won't care who we have or haven't signed this season.
