We broke our transfer record three times last summer, but certain reports have hinted that the deals were heavily subsidised by performance related clauses.

I've noticed that I've developed a terrible nail-biting habit recently. I couldn't work out why until I figured it only happens when I'm thinking about or watching Spurs. surprised I can type here with these bloodied twigs. Anyone else got any bad things Spurs makes them do?
