You certainly are.

Thankfully..... The quota of toxic little shit worms here is shrinking; as the rest us get on with enjoying the trajectory that the club is on.

I’m loving it - credible manager aligned with ENIC and Levy who have listened, trust the manager and excellent DOF, and largely delegated football matters. Quelle surprise, the whole club is pulling in the same direction and performances are superb.

Still worth calling out your blind defence of them on every single matter

Anyone who supported the hiring of Nuno needed to be banned from here.
Fucking car crash.
Anyone who supported not spending a penny in 2 windows should have been sin binned. Is anyone looking at Leicester and saying "ooh well they have squad harmony and don't need to integrate new players"
Course not. They're mocking the fuck out of them. Rightly so.

The correct way to behave is to credit people where it's due and call them out when it's not.
Which is exactly what any reasonable person does.

I think if or what we now do depends on Gil and Tanganga. Those 2 give us the right amount in numbers but probably not quality so they need to go for us to bring anyone else in. We can forget Winks, Ndombele Lo Celso and Reggie, they'll all be gone even if its a loan.

Gil and Tanganga will probably stay unless we sign an AM and CB. So if either leave its likely a more experienced player is coming to fill their position

Show me the exact rule where it says a woman can not play for a male team (after a certain age). I just watched a local boys' 15 team having a female player (and, no, she was not gender fluid, etc)
I remember a few years ago (must be 10-15 years no) when a Seri A club had a female player on trial and wanted to play her - but, naturally, she was never deemed good enough.
So they must have changed the rules since then

There's no specific section in the premier league handbook that says women cannot play for a mens team.
However, there are references specifically to players being "him" or "his" throughout the entire 339 page document.
I'm sure this would result in 2 scenarios
1 - She's not good enough so either doesn't make it or the other 19 teams don't give a fuck, or
2 - She's good and other teams question the rules. They'll point to the absence of a rule that says she can't play for a mens team but use the repeated reference to him/his/men/boys in the rulebook to argue it is implied this is a male only sport.

The women who changed the rules by playing in men's teams

Ellen Fokkema and Yuki Nagasato changed the game when they played for men's teams - how did it happen and how did it go?

Strangely enough, none of those teams are the premier league.
I quoted the premier league rule book. You know. Because Spurs are a premier league team. Not a team in the EIGTH tier of Dutch football.

I tried to nip the womens chat in the bud with my initial post but it' made it worse.
Can't fucking escape it.
Don't watch lower league football.
Don't watch foreign football.
Hardly even watch England mens.

But say you don't care about women's football and BAM - youz a sexist!

It's like saying Ghostbusters 2016 was a shit film.

I really dont think they will stay, certainly not Gil. Conte has made it pretty clear he doesnt think he's a prem player. I think we need better than both of those.

Can't disagree.

But I did say 'if either leave its likely a more experienced player is coming to fill their position' .... so comes back to possible incomings linked to possible outgoings. If no CB or AM are signed before close of window, there's a chance one or both may stay

First, Spurs are well coved with CMF - Højbjerg, Bentancur, Bissouma, Skipp - all EPL proven, so he's not necessarily better than any of them them anyway.
Besides, he's been linked with so many top clubs - from Real M., to Juve to Bayern to Chelksi & Man Utd - but none of them seem to be keen on him. And he's 27 now. It makes one wonder why he's still at Lazio.
There are better ways for Spurs to spend €50m+

It was fucking shocking.
But if you're a man and you say it, you get called sexist, misogynistic etc. The makers need to own the fact it was not a good film let alone a film worthy of the Ghostbusters lineage.

Welcome to the modern world!

It's getting more and more difficult to express any opinion because there are countless pressure groups that jump on any part of your statement. You have to stay indoors and never ever speak again because as soon as you put together a coherent sentence, somebody will find something to be offended about. There's a whole profession of people looking for something to be offended about. I'm fairly left wing and very liberal and accepting but I think we passed "ridiculous" a few years ago.
One cultural thing I simply don't understand is why calling a black person a "N..." is the ultimate insult but they refer to each other this way all the time...I'm Jewish but I never come across other Jewish calling each other kike or jewboy...it's completely baffling.
