The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 12th July 2017

[littlewilly]

You can provide your own opinions on a player or rumour who is mentioned recently (over the last couple of days) by an "official" ITK.
You can post banter, especially sexually explicit banter or jokes about dwarves. Or even better, sexual jokes about dwarves.

You can not go on and on back an forth about tedious stuff that might as well go in player threads.
You can not post twitter, news articles, pictures or videos.

Thank you, that's really helpful. I'm going to google "randy dwarves" right now and search out new material so I can be a popular contributor.

grahamroberts (old itk) on ftl: Just woke up to a message from a very good united source. Things can change, player demands a move etc, but as it stands, "Dier 100% will not be sold".

Interesting that this is from a Utd source. Good sign IMHO.

Its because it's nonsense.

The unsettlers are working overdrive. Its ridiculous.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

As far as I can recall, I've never posted on an ITK thread before.

Apart from the 20-odd times that our evil eye threw up?

 

[Insomnia]

This Dier stuff is unsettling me, I love him & would be gutted if he's had his head turned. Fuck Yanited & that miserable anti football grey haired old **** of a manger, fuck them in the hole.

You know, I'm quite an old man. I struggle a bit with this technology.

United finished 6th last year. They have finished below us in 3 of the last 4 years. The more historically established clubs will not just pull out a chair for us at the top table we need to drag one of them out of the seats. With a fantastic young first team squad a second consecutive season in the CL, 40k season tickets sold and a new stadium on the horizon, Utd, City and Arsenal are panicking and trying to use their relative financially muscle to bully us into accepting our place below them. Now is the time to just say no, we must not sell any players to them we must not help them strengthen and weaken us. We need to make a statement, that we are now the big club, not a club that gets picked apart. Walker and Dier can rot in the reserves if they desire, we need to send a message now.

One thing is for sure. Looking at the values being banded around for our players, its testament to the team and the progress the players have made under Poch.

Barkley would benefit from this

Dier's a good kid. I think he'll weigh up a whole lot of things before prostituting himself. We tend to forget that footballers are heterogeneous beings who can behave differently from our expectations, and the norm.

I've been on here for years and I'm a pretty respectful poster who doesn't cause too many upsets. As far as I can recall, I've never posted on an ITK thread before. Why? Well I've read thousands of posts that are apparently wrong; seen hundreds of posters discombobulated (and worse); but I've never worked out exactly what it is you're allowed to post.

Can anyone tell me (in a very succinct way) what it is that you can talk about. Please don't refer me to the rules or laws or statutes. I really need it simple.

I think most on this forum are pretty respectful, it's just a case of how some express their opinion. So we have some ITK and some will disagree or get pissed off as it's not what they want hear and then the "ITK is shit or a WUM" post starts.
For me there's 2 choices: A member can post his/her opinion by simply saying "I'll wait until it's announced" or don't post at all and grab a bag of salted nuts (A&C can provide at no cost but donations are very much appreciated)
I think as long as you stick to the topic, you'll be fine.
A&C normally has a rant in the mornings about how the thread got derailed the day before, so again there's another guide to what shouldn't be posted in this thread.
Compared to other forums, this place is pretty much what it's says on the tin.... a community

I don't think it's down to Dier, I think it's a matter of the chairman receiving an offer too good to turn down and if Poch feels the same.

United finished 5th last year. They have finished below us in 3 of the last 4 years.

I'm not in charge, obviously, but I wouldn't sell Dier to Man U or any other rival even for a £100m. After the great progress we've made over recent years we simply can't go back to being a "selling club". This is symbolic. Sell Dier and it'll be open season next summer on the remainder of our key players. We have to make a stand. Do not sell under any circumstances. Man U can go fuck themselves.

The unsettlers are working overdrive. Its ridiculous.

It's poignant though isn't it, that they have targeted Eric Dier this time.

It's almost as if they know the public won't buy a story about one of our superstars (Kane, Alli, Eriksen), so they've just gone for Dier because he's been put under pressure and moved around a bit since Wanyama came in. Same with Walker v Trippier.

The fact that they aren't even bothering to do this with Kane and Alli speaks volumes about where we are as a club these days, it really does.

You must be interviewing for the open position in Levy's PR spin team.

 

[Indisguise]

If we do sell Dier to Yanited (please no!) at least we won't be selling him to a "rival" any more. Manure are shit!

Whoa whoa whoa. Lets not start all this "rot in the reserves" bollocks. The media are pushing some bollocks agenda against us. Don't get dragged in.

P.S This should be in the Dier thread

So shit they won two trophies last season one of which was the Europa League.
