Just answer the question fool

That wasn't a question; that was an assertion that you just happened to tag a question mark to, "fool".......... Again; you know that as well as I do..... You must be a "fool" to think you're fooling anyone.

Less bullshit; less interjections... If you check yourself for a moment; you'd see you actually hold the keys t this situation, "fool".

Ask the guy that told me what I am. I have no idea which one he meant but if he said it, it's true to him.
FWIW, I meant behaving in a spoiled, yes ok entitled way. Not always, and not because you're against the owners - it's more the 'I want' posting, the refusal to entertain relevant posts that in any way cast doubt on what you've said, and the refusal to concede often relatively minor points where it would clearly be more 'honourable' to do so. As I said, you also post lots of great stuff, so perhaps it's just your 'debating style', I dunno. :)

Sorry, I appreciate this is now clearly miles off topic, just thought it would be courteous to at least explain what I meant. :)

Thank god the match will be starting soon, get us all off this thread for a few hours! :)
 
So, drop the "only Spurs" twaddle and focus on that if that's your actual point.

.....But do remember, that getting in a dick-waving competition over Man U & Chavs trophy count without considering how they've managed to accumulated them is completely facile.

I never said only Spurs. I did speak about spurs. Other people brought other clubs into it. Personally couldn't give a fuck about other clubs.

"I want" posting?

You mean criticism of Levy?

Edit: Miles off topic is exactly the design feature of whataboutery. i appreciate you probably didn't do it on purpose but at least you can see why it doesn't move the conversation further?

No, there is plenty to criticse Levy about, I've no problem with that. Just sometimes your posts seem to have a tone of 'I want this to happen and it's a disgrace and a scam if it doesn't happen' etc - lots of exagerration, lots of hyperbole, often rather dramatic, and as if your way is the only way, and is an easy way, refusing to recognise other opinions, other factors, other complications etc.

When you posted 'whataboutery' earlier it was on a post that I'd made that was entirely relevant, and I went on to explain its relevance in detail for you. The 'off topic' here I thought necessary because I felt it unfair not to explain to you what I'd meant by the 'spoiled' comment, and both you and Airfixx had mentioned it - I thought it would have been rude for me then not to explain.

The topic of your post was whataboutery and did lead us down this road and away from discussing if Levy was going to fail to shift deadwood and leave another manager short.

If you receive that criticism of Levy as entitled then I guess from your perspective it must be. I can live with being entitled if that's what that criticism is.
 
I never said only Spurs. I did speak about spurs. Other people brought other clubs into it.

The point being made to you (that I'm sure as fuck you don't really need explaining to you, but here we are for the Nth time in the last couple of days) is that clubs get stuck with unwanted players; sometimes 4 or 5 in one chunk and it makes trf-manouvers awkward... It happens... Examplifying similar plights at other clubs is the most straight forward way to illustrate that.

........Daily-man stomps and guff about "bottling", conspiracies(*) about Levy not shifting them to avoid buying new players or shit about the owners stealing the Kane dosh (the latter not being you, granted) won't change that.

(*Yes; people get accused of peddling conspiracies...... Because that's EXACTLY what gets done.. And of late you're a common proponent of it.)

Personally couldn't give a fuck about other clubs.

Until it suits you..... Then it's "Chavs do X".... "Arse do Y.".......

I'm more than keen to only concern myself with things that Spurs can control; but that's rendered virtually impossible the way things play on here.

Maybe that's the way you feel too; but once again, my friend..... A bit like ITK/rumours etc..... Ignore ALL of it (or all other club activity) or don't use "I'm not interested in twittter"/"I'm not interested in other clubs" as a 'get out of jail free' card to suit; only to then wade back in with "Mr Twitter says. Levy did a bad" or comparrisons to other clubs a few hours later... That's just bad faith.

TLDR


Sure it was great and full of facts.
