The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU! 23rd August 2012

[Archibald&Crooks]

​

Morning all! Yesterday I warned you but as usual, nobody listens.


IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR.

So, if you start getting excited about the prospect of signing Hulk, if you're thrashing away at your old chap thinking we're signing Leandro, if the prospect of us signing Willian has you in such a state that you forget to kick the cat then you've only got yourself to blame come 11pm on the 31st August when it finally dawns on you as uncontrollable anger and seething resentment kicks in.

Let us delve into transfer windows past for a moment. SC going into final day meltdown, F5ing endlessly as rumours that Torres is 'done' are doing the rounds.........Check.

SC'ers going absolutely potty as Arshavin signs for the scum. Check.

Starting to get the picture?

IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR! Salt, salt and more salt. Chill out and lets wait and see. Don't let expectation get too high and it won't hurt as much when reality slaps us in the face and shows us nude pictures of our wives.

HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU!

I'm toying with the idea of leaving Transfer Rumours Forum open through until January. I love that word. 'toying'.......it conjures up all sorts of memories, good times had by myself and Bill Oddie. Cough, yeah, so open until January, big changes to the set up.


Did I say there might be big changes to the set up? Well, i'll confirm at a later date but we MIGHT...........

Do away with the Twitter thread completely. Hallehfuckingllujah and you've only got yourselves to blame!

Have a Twitter Read Only (TRO).

Only include 'official' Tweets in the TRO and filter out the bullshit which will then have nowhere to go

Ban some ****s

Changes to how we moderate the Discussion Thread regarding ITK abuse/questioning etc.

Changes to how we moderate the Discussion Thread regarding spam/off topicness etc

Changes to how we moderate the Discussion Thread regarding Twitter. Yeah right, that ain't gonna change hehe

I'll decide later after some mulling*

Ban some more ****s

*No that isn't some medieval word for a long lost archaic sexual practise.

Good morning to you too sir

 

[Yid-ol]

I think the Read Only Twitter thread will be good, it would mean one thread to talk about everything instead of 2 that normaly talk about the same things.

 

[taidgh]

i like the idea of regulating the twitter thread. but if we only include 'official' sources, what happens to the journos and the like who post info? can't be included?

 

[bomberH]

Something will happen today. We're up to ITK number 433, which is AVB's system. It's too coincidental for nothing to happen. And in that very update, JJ mentioned something about the planets aligning.... See, it's started already.....

Or nothing will happen. Either way I'm going to masturbate mid morning.

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

Where are Ian Hislop and Paul Merton?

 

[Spurs_Bear]

"Ban some ****s" genuinely made me lol.

 

[RJ1882]

I know there is a cryptic message in there somewhere but I am not the man to find it. Some of you cryptic crossword geniuses get to work.

Have I got news for you literally means that - there is something there for us. A&C PM me the answer pelase.

 

[moomin]

a twitter read only for posting the actual tweets and a consolidated discussion thread would be brilliant i think.

 

[Lilbaz]

Can we have a "you're going off topic and likely to get banned" rep that the mods can use. Maybe a picture of one of a&c's "toys"?

 

[cabinfever]

"Ban some ****s" genuinely made me lol.

Me too!!

Could we vote on them.....Plllllllleeeeease

 

[bomberH]

Good idea re the twitter thread. Most of the info is just bullshit to the extreme, I really don't know how so many people enjoy that thread. Maybe just include official THFC tweets, THFC player tweets and a small list of respected journo's whose info has come to fruition in the past.

Personally, tweets from someone like Guillem Balague for instance, would be banned forever as he speaks more shit than Mr Shitspeak of Shitsbury, Shitland. But then there are some who rate him, so how do you decide who to choose and who not to?

 

[Bromavinci]

A twitter read only and an SC ITK read only with one discussion thread for both?? Good luck with that. I expect you will have to HEAVILY moderate that! And I will wager my normal number of balls against A & Cs plethora that it will be a daily battle determining who is official twitter..

 

[PT]

If it's read only, and the criteria is "anything Spurs related", the quality can be debated in the Rumours thread and someone who is clearly a bullshitter would soon be voted out of Twitter Thread Read Only.

 

[Lilbaz]

Back to itk, are the 2 signings unveiled sat including ade?

 

[Scutch]

"Ban some ****s" genuinely made me lol.

It won't when you realise you're one of them.

 

[AngerManagement]

I really hope we see some more ITK about us signing an exciting wide man, I'm not fully comfortable having Townsend only as real back up to Lennon and BAle and I am not a fan of VdV playing that role.

Watching Eden Hazard play the role last night for Chelsea, he's a superstar and its a terrible shame we failed to bring him to the Lane, we need a player like that and I hope in addition to a Luka replacement and another striker we are still looking to bring someone who can offer us something similar to what we would have got with Mr Hazard

 

[cockerel downunder]

Can't people just read tweets on twitter?!

Or am I missing something ?

Anyway, interesting that you mention hulk a&c I don't recall any itk on him for a long time... Are you hinting at something?

Hmmm... Have I got news for you... Angus deaton... Cocaine addiction makes you angry... You won't like me when I'm angry... Hulk !

Easy

 

[Spurs_Bear]

It won't when you realise you're one of them.

Couldn't really complain. I am a ****.

 

[meursault]

Back to itk, are the 2 signings unveiled sat including ade?

my guess is not
