Hmmmm, I'm a bit worried about Berahino.
Wasn't there a bit of a rumpus going on yesterday at Stoke? Something revolving around him?
He may just be lining up his toys, getting ready but our spirit is so good right now, I'd rather sign no-one than risk upsetting it.

I don't quite get why Poch is so enamored with SB, but Poch has done so many things right that weren't obvious, so I just hope Levy will back him.

what's the upsetting the apple cart reference?

I believe, but am happy to be corrected, that this allusory phrase was first recorded by Jeremy Belknap in The History of New Hampshire, 1788 as follows:

"Adams had almost overset the apple-cart by intruding an amendment of his own fabrication on the morning of the day of ratification"

Ok Trix, I as an outsider have my views which more than likely are totally wrong as I am not armed with any actual facts. Based upon that my believing what I am saying is not a solid one and like the weather changes.
I will accept all the negs on this. Most of us I think draw our conclusions by what we hear and read in the media as well as social media. Someone enlightens with some knowledge and information we are not privy too. Once we are aware we change our opinions, so I cannot understand the begs but never mind.

I would assume part of it is the questioning of @Trix and his information, as we are (rightly) protective of ITK here.

It's (obviously) OK to disagree, and you've done so politely, but not everyone does this in a respectful way.

And at the end of the day, they are just ratings on a website...

Though I have been here I think couple years, only became active this year in chatting. I would never go out my way to disrespect any ITK on here. In this case I was giving my opinion to comments not related to any ITK. When Trix responded I was politely trying to say I do not have inside facts so can only draw my own uneducated conclusions based upon the stuff we hear And see, certainly not ignorant and naive to believe that it is all gospel. ITK's I appreciate their input if it happens or not. I honestly find it very childish the abuse some get.

I use to be on other forums and deleted myself due to the abuse they handed out to anyone that came with any info that was not in their sacred circle, and how they hounded others. I am only on this forum now.

Seems we might finally find out in January if it's possible to simultaneously upset an apple cart whilst throwing toys out of a pram.

BEN: poch worried saido will upset apple cart

This vs. Mystery's latest is interesting. "Crucial that it's done" but worried about Saido's mentality.

I think we've all been worried about that to be honest. But that's for the Saido thread.

It's concievable that Pulis is making more of Berahino's indiscretions because he wants him sold so he can buy players he actually wants. He has a number of strikers and has openly stated he prefers to play with one up front. Berahino isn't suited to this role.

Otherwise, I find it strange that a manager should so openly criticise a player as often as he does and the timing of his latest criticism, just before the window opened, is very convenient.
He appears to be sending a message to the chairman and fans that this player is a bad egg and we are better off without him when perhaps he isn't that bad but just not suited. One hopes anyway because he won't fit at Spurs with a bad attitude. He will find it even tougher at our club.

To be fair Pulis was prepared to let him go in the summer in fact he made it pretty clear that he thought he was gone and wasn't best pleased with the chairman; he wants to let him go, the player wants to go and we want him hopefully we can do it this time.

Fwiw unless things have changed in the last few days I'm very much in the same camp as Mystery, and not at all in the same camp as BEN.
