This is a perfect example of why I use my username.

Their ownership which half you twats envy bought inarguably the second most successful team in the country when they took majority ownership. A team of 20+ seasons of UCL straight qualification. A team a handful of years removed from ‘The Invincibles’. A team that finished above us for 20+ years uninterrupted.
It turned them into a team that couldn’t qualify for European football and finished below us for 7(?) straight seasons. That’s who you envy.
And I get shit for my username, ffs.
Yes, and look where they are now. Peaks and troughs. They are now investing in a project. Our ownership has never done that. And never will.
 
Tottenham reached the last four of the 2000–01 FA Cup with a 3–2 victory over West Ham United 11 March 2001 and Graham was looking forward to pitting his wits against his former club Woolwich in the semi-finals.
I was at this game.

Spurs had the whole of the Centenary Stand at the Boleyn and were huge underdogs going into the game. This was Harry's West Ham team with Lampard, Carrick, Joe Cole etc.

I was in that number, right behind the goal in the lower tier, when Rebrov had his finest hour for Spurs.

 
we need to do both.

Don't see how the order matters too much.
It's the usual suspects covering their bases and getting the pre emptive excuses in, just in case the Centre backs don't happen. They can then try and claim some kind of justification that we are starting yet another season with Eric Dier at CB, would actually be laughable if it wasn't so incredibly sad.
 
"Dembele, Verts, Toby, Eriksen, and Wanyama"

These were the players I asserted earned less than Kyle Walker has at Manchester City while winning stuff.

You brought Romero into the frame later on.

I respect your enthusiasm for the regime.

But please don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

It really doesn't change the fact that you're being so hyperbolic.

When Walker signed for City he was on reported 110k


Same year our players

Verts was on 100k
Toby 80k
Eriksen 75k
Dembele 55k
Wanyama 62k

So yes, Kyle Walker did move on, earn more money that those players and win titles for them.

Our players were not underpaid though, most of our top players were on good wages DESPITE the club operating in a completely different way to the cheating Manchester City. Sissoko was on 80k which many people were unhappy with at the time and not because it was too little.

Between 2017and last season our reported wage bill had increased from around 80million to 110million somewhere between 35-40%.

If you want new owners who are happy to spend like City/Chelsea that's fine.

If you want new owners that will make less mistakes on football decisions I get it and would prefer better footballing decisions myself

But this idea that we don't invest money in the team isn't the way you make it out to be.

So I was right after all but I'm suffering from hyperbole?

I see.

Was my alleged hyperbole as emphasised as your colleague Airfucks in respect of his descriptive analysis of my contributions to TFC?
 
Well i was just pointing out to a previous poster that utd have won......🤔......ahhh, fuck it, I'm out.......
I get your point.
Their fans don’t see it that way though, do they?
It’s not really winning when you’re expected to win and bring back only a couple of minor trophies.

To put it another way, the S&P 500 is up 20% YTD, would you be happy if your investment returned 3% because you were ‘winning?

City cheating? Has this been reported to FiFA, because if cheating is proven, then people are stripped of their titles.
I assume that this process, is merely a formality, and we will see this principle applied, otherwise it means that they have not and get to keep their medals.
