The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th June 2012

Vee-lash Bow-ash i would go for. But then i don't speak proper Portuguese

Lets just call him Andy, its much simpler

News sounds good, looks like we're trying to get on with it and really implement a strategy now that Harry Short-term has left the building.

Vertonghen, Sigurdsson looking likely. Vertonghen replacing King, Sigurdsson replacing Kranjcar. Corluka leaving, so maybe Naughton will replace him. Caulker to come back to replace Bassong/Bonghani/Gallas in squad/pecking order.

Important matters arising

How is everyone pronouncing Villas-Boas?

Villas (as in aston villas) Boas (as in Bow-ass)?
Villash Bow-ash?
Vee-ash Bow-ash?

Someone help!

This way. I refuse to pronounce it the other ways.

or any of the big leagues

Probably. That's why I'm in favour of him being the new manager. I think he knows what is at stake as far as his career is concerned, and will have hopefully learnt lessons from his time at Chavski - namely, don't work with animals, children or ****s.

POTL r.e the "made up ITK" from FTL;



Amazing to give dates, so many tangibles that could affect announcements. Bold move.
Some truth in there though.

Should that say "Russians"?

 

[ryantegan]

If you know a friend struggling for a date, then give him RYAN_THFC's number. Hes got loads of em

 

[mattyspurs]

It literally is shit or bust for AVB, if he fails again, then that could effectively be his career over. He just has to make the appointment work.

Me to, on COYS it would have resulted in a lifetime ban. I got banned for saying (after an abject team performance) OK where's the HR knocking crowd then, all Arrys fault again I suppose? The ban was for singling out a section of Spurs fans for criticism, WTF!

I had my account deleted - baring in mind I'd been on their since the beginning for calling Harry a Media Whore. A phrase coined by the infamous POTL. Two legs bad and all that.....

FFS DELETED...

Blue or Yellow?

Wait if one thing comes true - does he get credit for it? Cos I can list loads that may come true?

 

[bilburger]

What did Ryan_THFC actually say? I gather it's bollocks - but as many people are referring to it, I'd like to know what everyone's talking about...

This is why I want. I WANT! He will want to succeed and thus bring us into the next level.

Ramos failed on the language barrier, AVB won't.

Someone knows the reason for my absence, but It's not important.​

Then why fucking mention it?

this is why i come on this site day after day, the banter is top class

Because he's trying to make his two weeks in a caravan in Skegness, whilst Lennon, Naughton, Cahill and Wilshere don't need him, sound enigmatic?

 

[KalSpur]

In plural.

'Houses of the Serpents' sounds far more portentous.

(Waits for some pedantic prong to point out that 'boas' doesn't mean 'snake' in Portuguese.)

It means good.

So... Andrew Good Houses! Or, AGH, if you like. (Not to be confused with the guttural cry of frustration "AaaaaGH!).

Ramos failed at a fuck load more than the language barrier, I'm hoping AVB has more than that in his locker.

language was his problem - if he could speak the lingo; his seville side were playing the bet footy in europe at that time.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Right. But that isn't true, and we weren't Seville.

Not playing Ledley King in the league and saving him for the Europa League when we could buy a win at home to Wigan and Hull was bugger all to do with only being to "eff eff eff eff" rather than communicate with the players.

If that's the case he learnt English up to the League Cup Final then forgot it afterwards.

It's been done to death though to be honest.

 

[Ndombers]

Levy himself wouldnt know the dates for all of those

Investor news won't go away. Had a pal phone me up works at an investment firm. He's a Gooner, but I do give him time. He's also pretty straight laced, so not the type to be a WUM.

Asks me 'Have you lot been bought?' so say not sure and there are rumours circulating around fund managers for middle east banks that either a large deal/take over of a premiership club is taking place. Private investment vehicle running it.

To be honest, put like that, the stuff that I've been told about investment (not a takeover as such), by now three different sources, one from club, one from a sports specialist and one an agent, you have wonder if this is just say for example Qautar Royals/Kuwait family looking at us.

It makes sense, Beko hasn't been announced (If your going to buy or invest, you want naming rights, shirt deal the lot inculded) suddenly we're paying bale near enough £100k a week, Ade is going to get close to his demands, AVB wages aren't cheap, nor 2/3 of the incomings.

So I'm actually thinking its more than I've been told and some know about.
