Cunts all over the place.
It was because of this post/story. The story and the stance of the club concerning the conflict is legitimate discussion for those who want to discuss it.

The chairman of Tottenham's Tribute Trust has resigned in the wake of the club's disappointing response to the recent Hamas attacks in Israel.
More than 1,300 people were killed following the terrorist group's attack last Saturday. Israel have since responded with air strikes, killing more than 1,400 people in Gaza.
The FA had been criticised for staying silent on the attacks earlier in the week and has since been slammed after it was confirmed that they would not be lighting up the Wembley arch in the blue and white of Israel before England's match against Australia on Friday night.
Tottenham joined the FA in issuing a statement in response to the attacks on Thursday. It read: “The Club and our footballing family is shocked and saddened by the escalating crisis in Israel and Gaza, and strongly condemns the horrific and brutal acts of violence against innocent civilians. Our heartfelt sympathies are with the victims, their families and the communities impacted.”
But the statement has been heavily criticised by Jonathan Adelman, the chair of the charity, which was set up to look after former players for over a decade. And he confirmed via an open letter addressed to Tottenham director Donna Cullen but also sent to chairman Daniel Levy that he would be tendering his resignation due to the "lack of moral clarity" shown by a club with a deep connection to the Jewish community.
His letter said: “I simply don’t understand what if any moral compass those who drafted and signed off the club’s statement have given the savage butchery of Jews by Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation.
“I expected nothing better from the FA, but I did from our club, not just because we have an Israeli player, not just because of the club’s deep connection with the Jewish community, but also given the commendable stance the club took on taking the knee, standing with Ukraine and so on.”
Adelman went on to address his own role, adding: “It has been an absolute privilege to support our past players in their time of need, first as a founding trustee and then as chair of the Tottenham Tribute Trust.
On the right thread, this is not that thread.It was because of this post/story. The story and the stance of the club concerning the conflict is legitimate discussion for those who want to discuss it.

I think we should all be forced to answer the question each day, that way we can have live daily results that can be charted over time to analyze trends.When was the last ENIC in / out Hokey Cokey poll?
Was there one in 2023?
Be good if we could always do the poll on Boxing Day or something so we know it’s been a year and everyone is a bit drunk.
Anyway has Daniel come roaring back into a position of positivity and joy??

I think that's a job for The Dealer , although the poll would have to include excrements*** of .5sI think we should all be forced to answer the question each day, that way we can have live daily results that can be charted over time to analyze trends.Admin surely needs something to do.
All I see is a helmet.Only person who is the same size up close as he is in the distance , only difference is you can’t notice his mouth wash ain’t making it from a distance
Sharing this in here, just in case anyone is still naive enough to think Bastoni didn't happen because he's a boyhood Inter fan:

Newcastle getting Tonali might wake some people up to why that didn't happen and why there will be another transfer exactly like it this summer.

Noticed the Levy Out protests opposite the club shop have totally stopped.Time to give the man his flowers I think, seeing as the big man has taken so much flak, it's time to recognise his greatness:
Hired Ange
Hired Paritici
Completely changed the culture around the club
Put more focus into the youth teams, reaping the benefits now
First Team, under 18's, under 21's women's team top (or near top) of their respective leagues
Built a fantastic stadium and training facilities
Backed Ange in the transfer window and committed to his vision
Everyone now pulling in the same direction, fans included
Your apologies need to be loud as your disrespect
My chairman

Quickly becoming an embarrassment to the club IMO.

The Trust decided to go on the lash with their Fulham counterparts, rather than continue their protests about ticket prices (they've done one protest?!)
Funny how things change...
