It well past noon and my socks haven't been blown off!

Discussion in 'Tottenham Hotspur' started by Hoddle is a god, Jul 4, 2012.

  1. The news that Sigurdsson has signed for us and not for 'Pool is very welcome, reaffirming yet again that we are the team that good players would rather come to with the better prospects for European and domestic success in the future.

    However, I fully expect us to be signing players of his quality. This news does not blow my socks off.

    Or is that it?

    That was a rumour long before Brazil's comment, so it can't be that. It could be nothing of course, just an ex-spur looking for attention.

    You're paying him much more than what we offered him. Am I bitter, hell yes. Still doesn't change the fact that that's the case though and the reason the scrote opted to warm your bench rather than ours

    Alan Brazil said he had heard some news that would "blow your socks off" recently. Didn't say what it was, but the guess is the Arab funding that's rumoured.

    I don't know why people are expecting it to happen today? I guess the assumption is that we were waiting for the new manager to be in place?

    because of Alan Brazil, I feel like a spoilt child today. Gylfie is a good signing, but after Brazil's comments about socks being blown off, I feel like I should be expecting more today. A bit like a kid at Christmas who didn't get the main present they asked for. haha <laugh>

  11. I picked up from somewhere that something was supposed to be announced today, but I can't remember where I heard that.

    This seems to have sprung up from the Liverpool Echo, but what's it based on?
    Our wage bill is quite a lot lower than yours, so it seems unlikely.

    People are asking both (both?!?) of you because Brazil said it.

    They're getting dumber by the minute...

    he claimed that there was going to be massive news on weds. which is clearly not the case. Unless he's that much of a fool that he thought none of us would know about AVB and Sig, and as a result, he genuinely thought he was going to be breaking news to us <doh>


    ahhh cheers Dad, you're the best! <laugh><ok>

    I'll ask that Indian call centre that keeps spamming the **** out of my mobile if they can do it. Well, given I blocked them and they still keep trying to call me, they obviously need something to do...

    someone who's very articulate and has an argumentative nature should call in and question them. <whistle>
