Posted this in the laughing at gooners thread but it is relevant here:
Tell your kids not to be gloryhunting fans. They'll thank you in the end
Lets not become like them eh? Self entitled wankers.
We've done our time stood in the rain. Lets recognise and appreciate the sunshine when we see it. Enough pricks will mug us off for failing to win a trophy last year, lets not do it to ourselves and instead enjoy some of the best football / the best team many of us will have seen in our lifetimes.
We did well last season despite a bad summer you dumb cuntYeah, finishing 6th was a real blow to us last season. Maybe if we had shown some ambition we might have finished top four last season instead of scraping another season in the Europa League?
Wait...
ochfacepalm:We did well DESPITE a shambolic summer window last summer, not because of. Imagine what could've happened, had we signed some of our targets instead of the likes of N'koudou and Sissoko
Summer is turning into a shambles already
You're a fucking shambles. We did so well this year because of our terrible summer? Go fuck yourself. We did well because of performances from players like Kane and Eriksen, and then the shambles that are Toby, Wanyama, Dier, Alli and Son, all signed in the last 4 windows you fucking weapon. Do us all a fucking favour and sign up to a republican forum, because you really are the biggest waste of space on this forum 99% of the time.
I'm talking about last summer
ochfacepalm:I'm talking about last summer
So we'd have been better off not signing Wanyama? Not every transfer works out. Even the "big" names. Get over it. You're honestly as dumb as the blonde haired muppet you worship.
Depends on the context. City and Liverpool are constantly trying big money signings but get nowhere, whereas Chelsea (but more the Man Utd of old) seem to find consistent success is more down to the slightest of tweaks.
I'd hate to see us when we finally make some progress!
When did I say Wanyama was a bad signing? I'm talking about meeting our other targets and not fucking around. Were looking at Batshuayi before the summer had even begun, Chelsea swoop in and have the deal done within days we end up with Janssen. We try to sign Mane, have him visit our training ground, Liverpool swoop in and get it done we end up with Sissoko and N'koudou
It's awful sitting so stagnant. I wish we'd spent 200 million last summer, got into the last 16 of the champions league and finished 5th
Summer 2015:
"Boys, why are you doing this to yourselves? I have seen enough of Levys games to know these 2 ( berahino and son) won't happen. We will be scrambling around trying to agree a cheap fee only to go to the last day with a bid for borini. You know it, I know it, we all know it"
"Said the same thing mate. Levy is pulling the wool over everyone's eyes again and it will all end in disappointment as always"
"Joker. You are fucking blinded mate. What actually makes you think Son will sign? As far as I see we are "talks" and no deal has been struck meaning levy is currently low balling the Leverkusen director as we speak. But you keep the faith."
"Not at all. I have no faith in our tight fisted cunt of a chairman so I'm that confident he won't sign. If we sign him I'm happy to admit it. No excuse for going into Everton with 1 striker"
"Still don't like the Leverkusen director uttering those words "nothing is agreed yet" ... I just don't trust our chairman to get these sort of deals over the line quickly
"Sammy, this is levy we are talking about. He probably takes 48 hours dithering which toilet to have a shit in"
"Hopefully the levy lovers will wake up and smell the coffee now. levy has pulled the wool over your eyes for years now... " levyed" ... Oh fuck off! Looks like levy has been well and truely levyed. We have 1 striker and berahino is our number 1 target and he goes in with installment payments. This chairman is the biggest joke in the country and don't be surprised if this Son deal falls through and Leverkusen add to the ever increasing clubs that are pissed off with levy and his tight ass tactics in the market. 4 days to go until the window closes and we still have 1 striker. Levy what a genius,.... Cunt!!!!!"
"You actually believe we will get this Son? God your naive even after all this"
"And I don't particularly want fans like you either that buries their head in the sand. Supporters like you are the reason why this club never achieve anything. You might be happy with going into our 4th game with just 1 striker but I'm not and I spend enough money on this club to justify my anger at the situation. If you don't like it then you can fuck off yourself"
"What I find funny is all these people on here that seem to find every excuse for levy under the sun will be the 1st on here come Tuesday night when once again levy fucks up another transfer window leaving us short. Bids for this player, bids for that player.... Son having a medical. We have been down this route year after year with promises of Moutinho, schneiderlin, mussachio etc etc and time again levy disappoints and we end up with some cheap alternative. People still don't learn and people still have their heads buried in the sand."
"I know not everyone's favourite person but has anyone mentioned JJ etset post on spurs community? Apparently he's said berahino is a done deal. Posted a message like " today is a good day # berahino" .... I don't like this prick JJ but he don't usually post stuff like this"
"How would we feel about a desperate last minute deal for Carlton Cole?
"Well I certainly won't be paying for any spurs games at all this season if we don't sign a striker. It won't make a blind bit of difference to levy or the club but it will make me feel a little better. It's an absolute farce we are hours away from having just 1 striker in our whole squad. Wtf are we supposed to do if Harry gets injured? He already looks like he's shattered. A complete shambles from top to bottom. It's ok we have 4 wingers that sort of can play upfront. Shambles!!!!"
"I actually want spurs fans to make a stand. We are going no where anyway as a club and this season is already over in terms of top 4. The way to make a stand and to stick fingers up at the board and the pathetic mess they have delivered this window is to not waste your money on games. Once the home games have half empty seats the board will get the message. Fucking farce!!!!"
"I'm not sure how any Spurs fan can be happy with this situation right now? No one can sit there and bull*** me by saying spurs have got enough options upfront to compliment Kane because Spurs wouldn't be putting in these last minute bids for Berahino if we weren't in desperate need for a striker. Which then leads me to believe that Levy all along knew West brom wouldn't accept. He knew all along these last minute bids were a ploy to show the media and the spurs supporters that he "tried" ...it's like Moutinho, it's like Musachio, it's like Schneiderlin... no doubt in my mind Daniel Levy is pulling the wool over the spurs supporters eyes and has been for years.
Me and a few other supporters on here figured out this bald cunt years ago hence our negative stance on him in regards to our transfer policy. What Levy does in the background in regards to the stadium etc I applaud but that's where it stops!!! stay the fuck in the background Levy and do the internal stuff at spurs like you do but lay the fuck off the transfers you useless cunt!!!
We have been down this route year after year with the same mistakes being made year after year. If you wanted Berahino which clearly we did then why wait for the last 2 weeks of the window to make your move? Surely as a number 1 target you go in early so if any complications arise you have enough time to get the deal sorted instead of frantically trying bids with 2 hours to go Son and Njie are 2 exciting signings but they are not "strikers". If Harry Kane get's injured who the hell do we replace him with? Adebayor?
What an utter shambles from top to bottom!!! The fact that the Spurs website changed Hueng min Son's profile online from midfielder to striker speaks volumes despite them denying it. They knew damn well spurs were not going to sign another striker and so did the fans who know how our wanker of a chairman operates. The pathetic "levyd" noise we get from a certain section of our supporters have nothing to say now. Your bald hero has been properly "leavyd" by a guy who wasn't going to take his shit and I await to see what excuses you have when Harry Kane get's injured and we are left with no striker......not to mention another superb bit of news with Adebayor still lingering around the club like a bad smell to dare is to do???? fuck* off!!!!!"
If Carlsberg did 'retorts'.....
And all those players opted to play for other clubs because they were offered more money. Even if we tried to tie it up quickly we can't simply hold our targets hostage and stop them talking to other clubs. Worked out well for them though right? Batshuayi barely kicked a ball and Mane played in a team who had a much worse season than us.
Would probably have won the league had they been playing for us
Actually quite impressed with the lad if he is staying for playing time at Fulham. Shows a cretain amount of character and confidence in himself which I like.
