Villas-Boas "Tottenham Board Destroyed Everything I Built"

[guiltyparty]

I think that's harsh. BC and I rarely saw eye to eye but at least he backed up his opinions with reasoning and logic. He also put an awful lot of effort into his posts. I don't think he was a WUM but I did get the impression he felt like he was a cut above everybody else and I think that's what got most people's backs up.

Back to the subject of AVB...My Mrs said she'd bang AVB over Poch, I'm fuming.

He was, though, is the truth of it. He put way more into it, constructively, than most - his game ratings were one of the highlights of the week, even if you disagreed with him. He was almost like a guest columnist - I love people who care that much.

And the quality of the forum since he left is testament to that. If you’ve been on here for a decent amount of time, very few of the best posters remain, and a forum is only as good as its posters. Spurs Chat is a shell of what it once was i’m afraid to say but then I feel message boards in general are a dying breed

The fact someone who put so much effort into everything he did is banned while many rude and unanalytical voices remain says all you need to know about the realities of banning and remaining. It isn’t about what you contribute.

My memory is shot to pieces, but was the guy who used to post very long pieces called Double Pivot? Had a Wile E. Coyote avatar. A lot of us (including me) would rib him about his never ending stories (nana na nana na nana na), but it was the same thing on display as BC....passion for Spurs. He clearly put a lot of time and thought into his comments.

BC on TFC is like an out of control juggernaut. Turned up and continued posting in exactly the same way. Got tonnes of abuse and hatred from some of the more bitter posters...and just carried on posting in exactly the same way.

He’s currently embroiled in an ongoing argument with one of the biggest tossers on that forum. Both of them are pretty stubborn, so I suspect that will keep the pair of them preoccupied for the next few years.

Yep, definitely Starting Price. Double Pivot was a good poster as well though - I think their avatar was a colourful shark on a grey background.

Yeah Starting Price.

Confusingly, I think Double Pivot was also Happy Spur.

Sure, why not.

Just wanted to state that AVB has finally given me a reason to follow League 1 for the first time in my life. This is a list of the European football teams I now support:

1, Tottenham Hotspur and Deportivo La Coruña (was a depressing weekend for us Deportivistas).
3. Internazionale Milano.
4. Bulgarian national team (or Български национален отбор по футбол, as per wikipedia).
5. Olympique de Marseille.

It's true, unfortunately (for her). I have a ginger beard like AVB, that must be her bag. I wonder if he also has a sub average penis size and is painfully honest to his own detriment.

Is that where the 60% banana comes in? Seriously its not the size, its what you do with it. Ask @SargeantMeatCurtains

interesting. i play footy at tottenham power league in a holsten shirt n deportivo socks. (n colombian shorts but thats not relevant)
why do u support depor?
im half galician n a bit depressed that no big company wants to buy depor despite the lovely untapped - underdeveloped region of spain that is galicia. shed loads of money to be made there.
they don't even own their own stadium it's the councils. so messed up.

So, I'm from Guatemala. The Spanish league here is by far the most popular football league after our local one, most people support either Barcelona or Madrid, and I do have a soft sport for Barca (while hating Real). I honestly don't remember why but, according to my dad, the reason I started supporting Depor was becacuse I felt sorry for them after losing the league title against Barca in 1993 I think (I was only 5 years old then). Speaking or hearing the words La Coruña does take me back to a time in which football and the world both seemed more magical to me (I do know in Galician it would be A Coruña, but that doesn't sounds as pretty to me though ).

I agree with you about no big company wanting to invest in Depor but, at the same time, that still leaves the door half of a nano-meter open for my fantasy of one day becoming the owner of Deportivo (but I would still need to become a regular ATP top ten player before managing that).

Why do you wear Colombian shorts, btw? Are you that big of a fan of our own Davidson?
