If it's not about Spurs and is more, say, about FOOTBALL in GENERAL then I guess you're stuffed.

I mean there's not a whole dedicated sub-forum to GENERAL matters of FOOTBALL on here.

Yes, before you ask, the sarcasm was necessary.

Anyone who learns a foreign language knows remembering all the verb endings is the hardest part. Imagine trying to memorise this: http://www.verbix.com/webverbix/English/sign.html

There's also the possibility that he meant the announcement of some of our new contracts as signings.
But "signings" is a noun ...
Look, I think we all can collectively put this to rest.
He either said signings and meant signings, or didn't mean signings.
Do we need everybody's opinion on which it is?

GNK still ongoing
Not sure MP will get his 'signings' maybe he meant signing ?

This is what I thought. If you listen to the press conference I thought he said "some signing" (at the very least it's unclear whether it was signing or signings but because he said "some" people have assumed he meant plural).

I really am lucky there isn't a very steep cliff at the bottom of my garden.
That'll knock thousands off the price of your property!

Don't suppose you have a SC interrupter at the botton of your garden instead? It might have cleared alot of this plural and the like stuff up. I'm still baffled.

Good news that GNK is still on going, hopefully done by early next week!

To be honest i'm outraged that Pochettino isn't speaking with an accent as clear and posh as someone who went to school at Eaton. He's had enough time for fucks sake. We could have avoided all this massive over analysis but did he put in the effort? Did he fuck. The ****.

SIGNINGS? SIGNING? SIGNINGS? :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Here is a transcript for you idiots:

"Do you expect to do much more ... be more active in the transfer market between now .. "

"Yes. I expect some ... some signing for the next few weeks we'll see what happen. But this expect to (or did he say TWO :confused:) signing activity. Yes." (sic).

"Which positions?"

"You want to know too much".

Can we please just stop going back and forth and be OK with the facts; namely that Pochettino's English isn't progressing super-quickly.

Didn't ITK say that there would likely be one signing - N'Koudou - and maybe an extra player that Pochettino really likes, if he could be persuaded to come? This 'mystery' player being one from Spain...

All because Levy was too tight to get him the English teacher he wanted.

Played hardball over Lloyd Grossman's tuition fees, and ended up with Stacey Solomon.

For shame.
