Listen, you're developing a thing about me, so it's best not to converse at all. You think I'm arrogant for having an opinion and self belief in it? Ok, whatever. I've become an expert on hemorrhoid creams and I always tell Anusol fan boys that they're wrong and Germoloids is better, my experience has taught me that. Does that make me arrogant?

Yes. It does make you arrogant. Just because Germoloids works better for you doesn't mean Anusol won't work better for other people. But you're too arrogant to realise that your arsehole isn't the gold standard for arseholes.

You're 60% of the way to going full Gibbs. Just need to be even more repetitive and come up with your own terminology (which with your skill shouldn't be hard). Btw Wingdingz, Tiny Dancers, Molasses Spine and Herpaderpz are already taken.

What a weird analogy. Sorry about the Chalfonts.
 
Anyone know what happened to Josh King? Weren't we linked with him in the summer, but they wanted around £30m for him, after one decent season with Bournemouth and now he's nowhere to be seen?
Even last season when his name came out on surface, he is not a settled 11 for Bournemouth.
He is more like a player whose some believe has potential and been underused. It means if he got the chance at bigger stage, it is not such a wonder if he sets it alight.

As of now he is playing bit here and there. Sometimes does it, sometimes not so much. Bournemouth doesnt have a settled attacker anyway. They tried Defoe, Wilson, King, Ibe, Fraser and i think there is 1 or 2 more names that i forgot. And Howe juat seemed like he cant yet decide.
 
I used to post on Spurscommunuty as UptownSpur but I just got sick of the stupid rating system and the dickhead that runs the site, here's my posts about Ousmane Dembele: Some news and one on the following page too.






You talking about A&C ? Or what ever his name is. He’s one of the main mods on Spurs community along with Rob. Both a pair of complete tossers who run the site like North Korea and threaten to ban everyone every 5 seconds. It’s actually pretty funny watching the members squirm and put these guys on some sort of pedestal like they are god. I browse through the site, but it’s run by a bunch of dictators that can you for having an opinion.

Hasn't he had some injury problems as well? Probably a reason he isn't playing as much

Indeed, people just end up writing posts to get positive ratings and not offend anybody, which is rubbish. I'd take people with genuine opinions any day ahead of inane non committal dribble. This is a better site for people with opinions and that's a better one for people without them and are overly concerned with ratings.
 
Looks like Pontus Dahlberg, who were linked with scouting last summer is heading to Watford and will become the most expensive goalkeeper sale in swedish football history. The 19 year old will be loaned back to IFK Gothenburg for the rest of the English season/until the summer break in the Swedish season before reporting to Watford in full.

Bit of a bummer since I would have been chuffed if we had locked down Sweden's next great goalkeeper for pure selfish reasons.
 
Remember when you went clubbing? There were fantastic girls who wouldn't look at you, pretty girls that flirted with you, average girls who were quite interested, and girls who you wouldn't entertain.
(Notice I was not uncomplimentary about the last category, we'll have no Presidents Club nonsense here!)
But when you smartened up your act, dressed better, were successful in your job, and behaved like a gentleman, the fantastic girls started to flirt with you, the average girls smartened up and some of the ones you weren't interested in suddenly caught your eye.
If you you keep doing that, you won't need to wait for the slow records.


:roseunsure:
 
Ah yes. Because full on committed inane dribbling is much better.

Tell me again how Lamela never plays in a Spurs shirt again?

Christ, you need to get a bib.

Again, it's you bringing Lamela into the transfer section. If it makes you happy I'll admit I was wrong to give absolute and definitive predictions about his future because there were too many variables, when he would get fit, will he agree to leave, will we get a big enough bid? Etc. So what I'll do is make more conditional ones.

In this window, I think there's a 10% chance he'll leave. I think it becomes more likely, 60%, if we sign Malcom.
I think there's an 80% chance he'll leave in the Summer, especially as he'll be entering his final contract year with no sign of being offered a new one. This becomes 90% if we sign Malcom or someone equivalent and don't lose any other major attacking players - if Edwards does well at Norwich, it'll become 95% likely.

That will be my last word on Lamela until any major developments happen, aside from the bet I have with SchmoodSpur SchmoodSpur about whether he'll make the Champions League squad.

Bet you've got a few cheesy chat up lines :levystare:

So who did you play for? I keep asking, but I think you keep missing it.

Who did Jose Mourinho play for? I didn't play at any great level but I played a lot of football. Someone who plays a lot of snooker can appreciate and understand what makes a great player great. When I see Kane fire in a shot low and hard with his weaker foot, I appreciate what an immense skill that is in way that someone like you, who I think probably didn't play much at all, wouldn't.
