Just buy one from dhgate/soccer00 all made in the same sweat shop, haven't bought any from the spurs store in years.DHGate is the way forward, I get its a snidey but as an adult I don't wear colours any more except for my retro 1984 UEFA cup winners shirt, the point i'm getting is for Kids I'd just buy them the snidey one , the quality is decent enough and they will grow out of it quickly any way, fuck giving these parasites any more of your cash!
Edit - shit they got me, if we do win it i'm going to have to buy one aint i, so I have a retro one again in a few years! fucking cunts done it again aint they! but still if we win the cup i'll happily pay £80 for the shirt!
He must be one hell of a prick to know he is despised by so many people, yet at no point ever question the greedy behaviour that has led to the ill will people have towards him . He is incapable where money is concerned of ever making the morally right call imho.
I wish he and the odious Lewis would fuck off and never be heard of again , wishful thinking sadly .
Can You Americanize the Premier League?
May 9th, 2025, 5:00 AM GMT+0800
As the Premier League grows more expensive, clubs are embracing American luxury to boost revenue. But some fans are worried that the pursuit of profit is leaving them behind. (Source: Bloomberg)
the squeeze won't stop, I can't say anything about the PL experience re: what it was once like to where it's going but the new stadium built here in Perth has all that stuff, players walking through the exclusive areas on the way to the field and full strength for some and not for othersInteresting piece , thanks . What baffles me is that if they get what they want who is going to be able to afford to go ? Football doesn’t offer the same thing as American sports , the tailgate parties , it’s a whole day out You can only have so many tourists & “ legacy” fans will be priced out of going . The average weekly attendance in the prem is around 383,000 ( 38,000) per stadium .
I know the Premier League themselves are looking towards sport tourists which is killing atmospheres at grounds but I guess that doesn’t matter to them , bums on seats with no real emotional ties to what’s happening on the pitch , you can see how clubs are treating real fans & that the preference is tourism who spend more money. Fans rightly feel disengaged as there’s little loyalty from ownership .
This is in my opinion a classic example of the rich knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing.Interesting piece , thanks .

And I sadly suspect that we won't see a change until we hit the breaking point. Like with most things in regards to late stage ultra capitalism like what the PL has become. The league and owners will squeeze as much money as they can out of the teams and league and only change once people stop showing up.

Wharton will be 80m plus which puts us out of the running...i wonder what levy was thinking watching today? i hope he paid close attention to tel! surely even this idiot can see hes fucking useless and 40m is an absolute robbery! we shouldnt be interested in him at any price as hes not anywhere near the standard we need and hell drag us down...thats what signing loads of shit players does! drags you down!
i also hope the bald idiot had a good look at the oppo dugout today!!!! thats what a proper manager looks like! now go and get him and get him to bring wharton too! do something useful for once in your life!
Nah , we will bid for him , we just need to wait for him to definitely decide he is going to another club , [ not Spurs) . We can then go in hard knowing we will never get him , alternatively we can wait until 30 seconds before the window shuts and then bid. In an ideal world he has a weird third party ownership structure ( not the case) so we can’t get him. 3rd party ownership has been a regular way of pretending to show ambition whilst showing no ambition .
well if they were going to set fire to 50m on tel then whats an extra 30 for an actual footballer who will help win games of football?
you’ve not mentioned this beforeI wish he and the odious Lewis would fuck off and never be heard of again , wishful thinking sadly .
