The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 23rd July

Dragon's spelling is shite because he uses an iPad. Ben's was always bad, but worse since getting the iPad.

For what it's worth, Modric is in Croatia now. Last season he separated from his wife, she left him for someone else, and very recently he applied for sole custody of their son.

I wonder if he is disrespecting his divorce lawyers and demanding they lower their fees at the same time?

 

[Clamour_Kid]

When was the last time you saw him play football to make you think this?

Carling Cup Semi v Arsenal. That seems like Aaaaaaaaaggggess ago.

I think we're misreading the 'I told jenas...' bit, when it should be reading 'I WAS told jenas.....'

Given dragons spelling and grammar mistakes, I think this is quite likely.

For me, last time Jenas and Bentley for that had a good game for us that I can remember was the 4-4 at the emirats. That was nearly 4 years ago... Having said that, the two of them should be having their career best seasons now, so if AVB can resurrect their talent, excellent.
Breath will not be held tho'

Aren't Real in LA at the moment on their US tour? Show you how clueless Modric and his advisors are, missed a trick there.

Using the ipad is no excuse, it snot tat difficu1t!

 

[brasil_spur]

So he is Paul Kemsley?

He comes across in that ITK as an irritating prick

The evidence is stacking up fast!

It's clear from the thread on FTL that it's he told Jenas.

People talk to journalists in confidence all the time. Off the record means an agreement that it won't be published which is fairly common. Clearly the journalist betrayed that confidence.

She's obviously a die hard Spurs fan and had enough of his flirting with Chelsea.

I'd be livid if I'd spoken to a hack off the record and he quoted me. It's so unprofessional. The things I've heard OTR but you'd never print them. Proper scumbag and AVB has every right to feel let down. Whichever media it is should be blanked and refused access for the foreseeable future or until a formal apology from the editor. I'm quite surprised everyone here is so cynical about this as 'off the record' is hardly unheard of.

On the latest stuff from JJ, all that was missing was the first sighting this summer of the classic "they moved the goalposts". I always look forward to that one. My favourite.

Is it true? Are they facing the threat of divorce? What a poor guy!

 

[Blake Griffin]

Fuck my old boots. That's a heck of a story.

Where did this come from?

(S)he wanted (a) Champions League football(er)? No wonder he's so desperate to get out..

Is it something that applies here more than elsewhere in Europe though? I think the concept of 'off the record' is relatively well respected by most journalists in the UK (although as we've seen with journalism recently there will always be the odd one or two (hundred) who spoil it for everyone else). I don't know if it's as respected a concept in the likes of AS and Marca however. They pretty much act as shit-stirrers rather than news outlets as far as I can see, so wouldn't surprise me if 'off the record' isn't a concept that they care for/observe.
