    Alternatively we could spend like Manchester United did last year and........lose three semi-finals
    Their fans are moaning that they still need 50 new players

    Social media mate, it’s amplified the moan culture tenfold.

    On Twitter you get a clique of knobs who only ever moan and it somehow generates them 100s/ 1,000s of followers which obviously seeps through to many more thousands of others via retweets.

    Then the Fan TVs have just taken it to a new level. It’s made moaning not only popular but profitable too and because of that you’ll only ever see more and more moan. Match vlogging has also stemmed from that, fake supporters filming themselves before, during and after games, ****ing hate these people with a passion because they make a laughing stock of their fanbase and we’ve definitely got our fair share of those.

    Good point, might start my own. I’ve noticed a growing dislike from the fanbase, could make some cheddar on this.

    I know, if they're not obsessing that we're not spending a Guardiolan amount of money every summer they're obsessing that we're not employing an Abramovichian wage structure

    ...that is what you meant, right?

    It’s a thin retort now, that fans want us to spend the same amount as the likes of Chelsea and City.

    you’d think that rubbish is made up to give yourself an argument base since there really is‘nt a genuine one.

    You think the fans that are miffed at ENIC for having barren windows and celebrating net spends whilst having the largest season ticket prices, taking in the tv money, only loosening the wage structure recently and focusing more on business ventures than the needs of the manager, you think all these people are really just a bit pissed off because we dont spend like City and Chelsea

    got ya <ok>

    The problem is that it isn't, after all there's plenty of people who (wrongly) keep claiming that we're the eighth richest club in the world and should be spending money to match that status...even though we're not the eighth richest club in the world, which begs the question why anyone would claim that we were

    The problem is that people don't have a clue, but instead of getting one instead they flock to Harry ****espout, or Bankrupt Spurs, or any of the other blogs or Twitter feeds that don't have a clue so they can tell themselves that it's terrible that the eighth richest club in the world is run by ***in when the reality is...well, patently not that

    I remember the days a few years back when spurs were within the width of a rizla paper of going under ,terrible times but now I look at it levy and enic have done a fantastic job of the infrastructure in place with the training ground the stadium the hotel and surrounding area and that planning will reap rewards in the future to make spurs a club others will be envious of ,the good times are just around the corner mate keep the faith,anyway it's my 60th birthday today so I'm off for a few bevvies now <cheers>

    I still think you have this back to front. The clubs with the most money do the best. That has always been true. ENIC took over a club who had no money and no means of improving that situation. We now have money and a way of earning more. With a little more luck we could have won some trophies on the way. The reason I support Spurs is that they were the team in white in the first match I saw on TV, the 1961 FA Cup final. We had money back then but squandered it from the mid 70s onwards. For the first time in nearly 50 years I see owners who actually do the things necessary to make us to be the best.

    Somebody's Been Playing Football Manager Watch
    The Mirror report that we're in talks for their Ecuadorian LB Pervis Estupinan, who not not sounds like an Esperanto report on Wayne Rooney boinking elderly prostitutes but is also a weird case all around

    Why?

    Well, Watford signed him in 2016, yet he's never played for them, instead being loaned to Granada, Almeria, Mallorca and Osasuna in each respective season, so he's someone who signed for Watford four years ago, has plenty of first team experience, but is completely untested in English football

    ...which is possibly the biggest middle finger you can give Danny Rose outside that kid at Legia Warsaw we were linked with a couple of months ago

    Thinking of Watford, who was the youngster Watford signed a few years back only to loan him out to one of the other clubs that are owned by them , I know it can bit vague was he a midfielder or wide player
