Out of interest, who are your other 4 horsenoshers?

I'm guessing scott scott , The Dane The Dane , Fidel Castro Fidel Castro and Airfixx Airfixx

Let me know how many I scored next week, eh'
Since you ask...

Well, of course you are chief horsenosher.

I was curious as to just why you are chief horsenosher (before you try deflect about time spent, thanks to Admin Admin fantastic search bar it took 20 minutes) as it's all well and good me saying it to be funny, but unlike you, I like to add substance to my cunt-offs, a deeper cunt-off.

So just to show how much of a fucking iron you (and your kind) really are, you've been polluting this board with your anti-Levy nonsense since 2014.

Happy with our transfer strategy ?

Posted in 2014, a thread created just to say you don't like our transfer strategy. Following a season in which Spurs came 6th. This will be important later.

Moving onto 2015...

The January window thread is much of the same. The Summer one is a FUCKING DOOZY.

Particular highlights include...

https://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/f...discussion-thread.13285/page-1329#post-856843

''I'd rather Berahino than Pato.
As for the transfer fee. I couldn't give a fuck''


''BetVictor have slashed their odds to 6/4 against Behrahino signing for us. Would be a great signing. Pay the fucking money Levy. Before someone else steps in''

''I am desparate for us to get Berahino.''

''we should not be paying 25million for Berahino''

''The thought of us signing Victor Moses is now getting me quite hard''

''I think we're going to sign Charlie Austin. I backed it last night with BetVictor st 16/1. He's now 6/1 with and even shorter with most bookies. He'll be relatively cheap and low maintenance. It's gonna happen I tell ya''

''I can't see it. But yes. Fellaini would be a good signing. In my opinion.''

''Fuck Carrick. That's a backward step of huge proportions. It's the kind of signing you'd expect of a club like West Ham or Sunderland''


Yet, you know exactly what is needed with our transfer strategy, right? Saido Berahino, Charlie Austin, Poohead Fellaini and Victor Moses. But Carrick wasn't good enough? But you know better than Poch and Levy, correct? You'd rather see them take a place in our squad ahead of our youth?

Another little gem in this thread...

''Stoke.......Rivals......To Spurs ??? ......Fucking Stoke

I`ve been thinking about this statement. And it`s actually starting to hit home that it`s absolutely fucking true''


After all your bluster about Spurs being the biggest and best club in the world you say this. This is the funny thing. You'll criticise me for finding this post but won't maybe take some introspection into the fact you are always, always wrong. Like, NW1 levels of wrong. And just like your fellow horsenosher (#2) you simply cannot admit it.

''I said 10th to 14th with the squad as it was before Clinton signed. With the 2 new boys, I would say between 8th and 11th.
edit: if Kane gets injured or loses form early on, i`d knock it back down a few notches''


*facepalm*

We move on...2016.

Hold up, weren't we Stoke's rivals just 6 months before?

Transfers - Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread

''I'd be fucking delighted if we sign Sissoko''

Just like you would have been with Berahino and Charlie Austin. You just want transfers. They don't have to be good, you just want to see money spent. No judgement involved. Spin the wheel and spend.

Transfers - Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread

''Seems like Everton, Stoke, Leicester and Bournemouth etc..
are leapfrogging us too now''


We'll move on from 2016 now I've spotted a post of you slagging off Ryan Mason.

2017...

we always fall away in the run in.

Years before this post, we came 2nd and 3rd. Wanna guess where we finished in this one?

Finally the piece de resistance from 2015-16.

''If we signed no-one else, I would expect us to finish around 10th - 14th. Depending on our Europa cup run.''

This was your prediction. The season we came 3rd.

And you wonder why you get such hostility from myself and others? We have had to put up with your bullshit for half a decade. And it's provably wrong. But you're so fucking arrogant that anyone who tells you this, is Levy over Spurs. When it's you that predicts us coming midtable, calling Stoke our rivals, begging for Saido Berahino.

2018...

It was you that said 2nd place was looking like Thursday nights in Europa.

As for your question about the rest...

Your fellow horsenoshers are The Dane The Dane who has given up on every Spurs side in December in existence. Spent the 2017 transfer thread telling us all Ross Barkley was the saviour of Tottenham Hotspur and that Everton will be a danger to us. I see he's melted into a smelly goop again. Art Vandelay Art Vandelay who is your self-proclaimed bodyguard who said he would ''be on me like a rash'' whenever I got in a row with you, then put me on ignore. Some bodyguard. The pum pum. NW1Spur NW1Spur who said ''we are absolutely not a top 4 side'' this season and of course Erik Lamela. Finally Don Giovanni Don Giovanni the gooner. Who being a gooner, shares the other horsenoshers opinions, which is slagging off Spurs.

As for scott scott he's right, he hasn't got it in him to be a horsenosher. He's a Johnnosher. He's your fluffer, making sure you're hard and ready to go when you get to the horse. Those boys above are your roadies, Scott is just your groupie hoping that one day, you'll let him in the gang, but he'll always be the bitch. The fluffer too ugly, racist and meek to be front and centre. But he'll be there ploughing himself as you nosh the horse.

I know you'll all just deflect this post about how long it took, or how dragging up the past is silly. But when you act like you do, you need receipts when you start lying and pretending you are the one with all the answers and digging out others.

You predicted we'd finish ''around 10th - 14th'' the season we came 3rd.

YOU AIN'T GOT THE ANSWERS SWAY!

What exactly was wrong with Joao Moutinho and Max Meyer ?

Both internationals, Meyer is available free, and Moutinho cost Wolves £5 million.

If Mr Levy likes his bargains he missed these two, as it looks like Crystal Palace are about to sign Meyer.

I dont understand our transfer policy at all.

Buy late and pay inflated fees for twits ???
Aim high ffs
We are Spurs from the Lane
Levy will surprise all you melters with marquee signings
Still more than a week for the window

:pochshock2: you've certainly done your research, I'll give you that...

Bit creepy, but the depth of detail can't be questioned!
You a lawyer in your spare time or summit?
 
Sorry to be repetitive...but fuck it.
I suggest that people re read (or just read) Poch’s book. There is so much in there that can be easily missed when reading it quickly to get the juicy gossipy bits. He is chilled out, & Isn’t transfer crazy. There are almost a thousand pages of cunt offs & people losing their shit...like every bloody window. I’m sure we will freshen up if Poch tells Levy we need to. I’m sure Poch will get reinforcements if & where he identifies we need them. There really shouldn’t be so much drama or conflict on here.
Ps. I forgot how much I love lunchtime drinking abroad.
:mong:
 
Can't believe some of you genuinely want the club to buy no one.

We need a world class CM, and some of you are like, "Don't worry. We have Amos and Skipp, it'll be fine."
 
What exactly was wrong with Joao Moutinho and Max Meyer ?

Both internationals, Meyer is available free, and Moutinho cost Wolves £5 million.

In short?

Meyer: Attitude and wages
Moutinho: Jorge Mendes

It's not that I want the club to buy no-one.

It's that I'm not willing to slag the club off if that's what happens. It's not like they would buy no-one on purpose so they can return us to mid-table!
 
:pochshock2: you've certainly done your research, I'll give you that...

Don't say bullshit and I won't go find it, init.

And nah. Lawyers are devils. Sorry @smokedsalmon

Can't believe some of you genuinely want the club to buy no one.

We need a world class CM, and some of you are like, "Don't worry. We have Amos and Skipp, it'll be fine."
We definitely need a new CM, Skipp is the prince, but for anyone that knows, he has been for 18 months. Modric being available should be leapt upon. Just imagine the imprint he could leave on our youngsters.

Other than that, I'm very happy with our squad with a fully pre-seasoned Lamela and Lucas and hopefully a returning Winksy.
 
As much as I like Martial and Pulisic (Zaha is fine), I don't know why we are being linked to AM/wingers - that is our position of most depth. Add Lucas to that mix and we have 5 guys competing over 3 spots in a 4321 (Dele, Eriksen, Lamela, Son, Lucas). Even with Son at the Asian games, we still have plenty of options up front to start the season.

We really need CM depth more than anything, then another CB if Toby leaves. If Rose leaves I think KWP steps right into his spot behind Davies.

Well in the 3 pre-season games I've watched, we've played 4-3-3 in every one. If that is the formation Poch is planning on playing this season then I would say winger is probably the position we need someone in the most. If you think Alli, Eriksen and maybe even Lamela to be honest would play in a midfield 3 alongside a DM like Dier then that only leaves you with Lucas and Son as proper wingers. A 3rd one in there wouldn't hurt. Agreed that we need a CM but the interest in a winger might be coming from a formation change.
 
Can't believe some of you genuinely want the club to buy no one.

We need a world class CM, and some of you are like, "Don't worry. We have Amos and Skipp, it'll be fine."

Been hearing we need a world class CM for 10 years to be fair.

Eriksen could quite easily be one.
 
Replies like this really show you're a sad, sad bastard. I'll never forget the fact you bought your parents a TV remote for Christmas, lord have mercy. You couldn't get more American.
Yes, and this past Christmas my sister conned me into paying for half of a fucking robovac for my parents that hasn't been used since the day they opened it. That one I sternly objected to, but the universal remote is still going strong.
