    ... fair play to you but the analogy doesn't work here ... Spurs future looking brighter than that of Real Madrid?

    If Barca or Real seriously came in for Riyad Mahrez he'd more than likely go ... and whilst I'd be really sorry to see him go, as he is, IMHO, the most skillful player I have seen at the club in all my time watching, he'd have my best wishes and gratitude for what he has done for us in his time here ...

    ... different to your situation perhaps, because Dele Alli hasn't yet contributed to any tangible trophy success for the club ... so it's more unfulfilled promise and a sense of "what might have been" should he leave ...

    I said his career went down the pan, not the company. Los Ladrones will not fail, probably not City either but Dele may not be so effective there. At the moment he is in a team and the future looks good

    Unless your wide boy spends £150 million on better players you will lose pace because City, Liverpool & United will spend upward of £300 million this summer.

    He's so sad to be leaving London for Barcelona?

    I don't exactly live just down the road...it's over 1000 miles away.


    I had hoped to get across there and go. But the tickets for home games are impossible to get unless you're prepared to pay hundreds per ticket.

    Whether we will be at Wembley next season is still yet to be decided.

    We seem to have done ok without that so far!

    I realise that it's Chav mentality that the answer to everything is to chuck a few hundred million more at it, but we've done pretty well following another path.

    I wish I'm 11 stone 5 and 6ft 1 so could use another stone. Maybe I should stop swimming everyday and eat chorizo?

    You'll believe what you choose to. But, as you claim, I rarely if ever drink more than 2 pints. I work damn hard in the gym most days and a beer in the evening is my reward.

    My health and fitness are far too important to me to ruin them by abusing alcohol.

    We sold for £19m and bought back for £12m 6 months later.

    Scored 11 goals in around 30 matches but was used as a sub a lot due to his drinking trip to Dublin.

    I know he's a prick, mate. I suppose that I'm an eternal optimist and think that even halfwits, like him, have a modicum of common sense.
