    Is this before or after the nice men in white coats take you away, crooning "It's ok love, just close your eyes and think of Sir Alex" and you drift off to sleep in a haze of tears singing "Twenty Times, Twenty Times" to yourself?

    Here's a video clip for you to enjoy. Lots of colours and movement. Should be right up your seemingly limited street.

    'Even failure will have an echo of glory in it'......................an apt observation by old Bill on Spurs achievements these last decades. Lots of echoes then..........

    Correct. Life ain't easy when you aren't bankrolled by Sky. Your club has spent upwards of £250m since Bacon Face retired and you've **** all to show for it. Echoes of hilarity in that mate.

  9. Very thoughtful of you to just give him the shorter version. I imagine he might have attention issues with anything longer!!

    20......................... count them.

    Spurs, the Leicester of 2016/17 except you won't win the title. Next season you will be back in mid-table mediocrity, key players disaffected and agitating for a move to a big club while you are saddled in debt from Levy's white elephant stadium.

    Since Fergie retired? 20 what? 20 over-priced vanity projects that have failed to improve you despite costing more than the average PL club spends across 3 years? You're being harsh on yourself mate. I only count 11.

    Pogba
    Depay
    Darmian
    Fellaini
    Di Maria
    Schneiderlin
    Shaw
    Rojo
    Blind
    Schweinsteiger
    Herrera

    Compare that shower of ****e to Alli, Alderweireld, Dier, Walker, Kane, Rose, Wanyama and Eriksen and you demonstrate 2 things:

    A) The core of our team cost less combined than Di Maria
    B) Your club is a joke. Can't even buy success. You're like the flash git who turns up at the club in a Veyron, buys umpteen bottles of expensive champagne and still manages to leave on his own, crawls home all sad and alone and has a melancholic **** over a picture of the scorcher he dated 5 years ago, then cries himself to sleep.

    Well said. You can be sure however that the pundits will not be taking any time to be critical of this wasted spending in any way (like the way they would criticise an upstart club where the money is more important). You can also be sure that if anyone dared say anything there will be load of ManU fans claiming that the world is against them as usual (which is rich considering how much the authorities, refs etc seem to be on their side!)

    Another example is how they were quick to bring up how we pissed away the Bale windfall, yet a year later when Liverpool spent the Suarez windfall all we heard was "la-la-la-la-la I can't hear you!"

    Great post CK, but you are being a bit generous with the '3 year' above.

    Based on PnP's post on another thread, don't you mean 368 years 8 months? or do you include Man Citeh and the Chavs and the goons in your average?

    PnP said
    There's an article in the Fail today that discusses the net spend of the current top six over the past five years.
    It references Transferleague.co.uk, which isn't perfect, but here are the totals:
    1. Man City: £402.55m
    2. Man Utd: £368.65m
    3. Arsenal: £205.89m
    4. Chelsea: £192.3m
    5. Liverpool: £121.52m
    6. Tottenham: £1m
    EDIT: We've just sold Tom Carroll for 4.5 M, that takes our net spend to -3.5M, we'll be able to buy the rest of the seats for the new stadium now...

    Looking at the numbers above I think we might fall foul of the financial fair-play regulations.

    It is clearly unfair that we've managed to build the best team in the league for less than 0.27% of what it has cost Manure to put together a mediocre mid-table squad.

    Levy's brilliance at financial management is clearly visible in those figures. Especially when you consider that at the same time we are building a state of the art stadium. Using the current PL riches to invest in a stadium is a far greater long term benefit to the club than gorging on over priced prima donna's. His one weakness IMO has been (football) but spotting Pochettino has been the final master stroke in what is becoming a very successful period in Tottenham's history.

    I wonder whether Manure supporters will be the new Mousers, having that sense of entitlement to the league crown, not realising that they've had their day in the sun.

    I'd forgotten about the NFL partnership. That'll be worth an absolute fortune for a handful of games a year.

    @glazerfodder me old mug, there's the sponsorship you were so kindly worrying about on our behalf. You can go back to watching highlights of your 1999 season now.
