Fuck Dorset Police.

They sit at the bottom of a hill in a 30 zone where a dual carriageway exits towards a campsite, speed gunning everyone that comes down. The car before me was stopped, I was stopped, and the car after me was stopped - all of us on holiday.

38mph in a 30 at 11pm, 3 points, £100 fine, and because it's Dorset you can only attend the driver awareness course to avoid the points IN DORSET. Anywhere else you can visit nationwide venues for the course. Purely setup to catch holiday makers that won't be able to attend the course 8 weeks later so they can get their £100 from everyone coming down that hill.

Yes I have more points on my license than Woolwich. Probably the same guy as in the photo - Irish wanker.
They've been trapping holidaymakers like that for years. Did me in 1986.
 
It's not about whether we should want to swap places with Wigan.
It's about whether Wigan rate their period of time as progress or not.

When ENIC took over, we were a PL team.
We're still a PL team
We look less like winning domestic cups despite finals and semi finals.
I strongly believe we lucked the hell out with Poch who temporarily helped us punch above our weight.
We were dangerously close to bottom half (as well as oddly close to top 4) last season.
We are in real danger of slipping back to mid table, no Europe and total mediocrity again now.
But how many clubs were doped with money before ENIC and how many money doped clubs did we lose domestic finals to? Its not just "we won X before and now we didnt so we are worse off now", there are other factors at play too.

To me its quite obvious that we are in a better place as a club now than we were 20 years ago, titles or no titles, but I couldnt tell you if it is thanks to ENIC or despite them.

I do however agree that we could have been even better off, had we not gone 18 months with no signing. Hopefully Levy learned alot from that.
 
The fact that Wigan is even in the discussion to compare us to is all that should be needed to be said.

But if it makes the apologists happy, yes ENIC have ensured that we are still a bigger club than Wigan. Fucking amazing accomplishment by them.
 
Yeah. Other than the odd outburst on the pitch when a team mate screwed up, I've always thought Aurier seemed like a good player for moral. Always seems very happy in training and on social media.



The money we supposedly bid for Martinez was 100% "potential money" rather than real money.


Interesting today that Liverpool fans have started a bit of rebellion against their owners, having done little business this window.

Everton in the green
Villa in the green
Chelsea in the green

With Sarr and Royal our net spend will be around about £25m


City 80m
United 120m
Arseholes 132m and rising
West Han 60m and rising
Leicester 60m
Vintage Levy
 
We won the FA Cup in 91 and the League Cup in 99. Oh wow, that really propelled the team to being in the top sides of the PL and European football. Whereas in the past 6-7 years we're just making CL and EL, with the occasional CL final and actual expectation to win the league. What a slide we've had. Makes me wish we were Wigan.

THFC list of honours.
8 FA Cup
2 league titles
4 league cups
2 Uefa Cups
And some top 4 finishes and lost in a final
 
same bullshit as the itk
What more were you expecting?

Got rid of a lot of deadwood.
Got a starting centrehalf.
Got a starting right back.
Bought promising young talent with Gil and Sarr.
Improved our backup GK, and got a fee for Hart who we signed for free last year.
Introduced academy graduates Skipp and Tanganga into the mix.

Fixing our problems wasn't going to be done in one summer window.
Give Paratici time.
 
If Nuno has been impressed by the shite winks has served up so far, i have lost faith in him.

A few faces had a purple patch a few years ago …. Since then they’ve pretty much got everything wrong … what terrible existence…. Pretending to be itk to people on the interweb.
Spurs community and their bullshitters have been spouting nonsense all summer about another 3/4 signings in and a striker too play with Harry. Now, their bullshit is being exposed, suddenly this new story about Levy emerges from “The Goat”. Absolutely pathetic. Trust me, I can’t stand Levy and i can’t wait for the bald cunt too fuck off, so we can actually win something and show some ambition, but this is 100% Spurs community trying too save face and keep the donations coming
 
It's all a bit slow at the moment so here's a game for you all - can you name the whining wankers who made these posts before the City Game?

- we have the two donkeys Dier and Sanchez at the back, no creativity in the midfield , and sissoko , winks , aurier, and Davies still as options ...... I’m going with a 1-4 loss

- we are left with the same crap team as last season if not worse. The same rubbish defence that can’t defend will start. I couldn’t care less of Dier and Sanchez played well pre season. When it comes to the crunch and when the pressure is on, they fail to deliver on a regular basis.

- I fear for us with any combination of Dier/Sanchez/Rodon against City's attacking talent. Would rip your hand off for a draw but can see us going down 3-1

- not a chance we are winning with Sanchez and Dier at the back. Utter dog shit, we will get smashed to pieces.

- Kane will be sold on deadline day. We all know how this scenario plays out by now. Probably already agreed between player and chairman. Kane gets his wish at the cost of being painted the villain.

- I find it very difficult to get any enthusiasm for this match and hope we do not end up bottom of the league on Goal difference


anyone get all six out of six? same whining wankers posting the same negative shit today ... do they enjoy looking like dicks?


That must have taken you quite a long time.
He spent a whole morning compiling this post and not one person played his game. Bless him.

5 more years of transition, see what baffles me about this is we nearly reached the holy grail years back and failed to reinvest and push onwards, this is the result.

You'd have to be proper fucking stupid to think it was a comparasion with Wigan, rather than using them as an example of how winning the odd domestic cup isnt a good measurement of club progress. So yeah I can see why you thought that.
 
Why? We weren’t able to get everything we needed but that’s the case for almost every club.

We have signed the best defender in Serie A to replace a washed up Toby. Our terrible second keeper has been replaced with someone much better. Lamela has been replaced with Gil, Emerson to replace Aurier. Sissoko has been binned. Sarr been signed for the future.

We weren’t able to get a striker and Ndombele having zero interest made it hard to get a midfielder. But overall we’ve moved out some donkeys and reduced the age of the squad with some exciting young players.
I really wish you wouldn't refer to Toby using derogatory terms. He's a true legend who happens to be getting older. Very disrespectful from a true fan.
