    There's a simple workaround: call it Twitter


    Everybody knows there is only one XCOM

    This is just malicious nonsense. Why post it?

    It's not malicious at all: you call it Twitter, the link works. You don't call it Twitter, it doesn't

    That's how broken the platform is after Exlax's rebrand

    I can see in Harry’s eyes he wants to come back home.

    there must be a cooling off period

    bring him home




    He hates the East Midlands

    I am talking about the content not the workings of Twitter

    And that's the thing: the content is the only way to describe it - you call the link anything but Twitter, not only does it not embed on here, but the outside link isn't guaranteed to work

    Why? Because that's how broken the platform is, and the only workaround is to call it Twitter - or to put it another way, don't call it what a tax dodging racist who has to ask mummy to get him out of a fight with Mark Zuckwit insists people call it

    I'm saying how to embed a tweet

    There is only one way to embed a tweet on here: call it Twitter

    That is literally all there is to it

    Whereas I am talking about a post that claims to know how the Spurs team voted for their captain. If they voted at all, which seems unlikely.

    *ahem*

    Roo posted the link to that, not me

    I just showed him how to correct it so it embeds on this site...without realising it was one of those fake Hotspur Related turds. I guess another report & mute is on the cards...

    Better tag @Roo in then, as he was unfortunately duped by one of the scum accounts

    TBH it was probably an honest mistake

    Which is why I have, like, four Hotspur related copycats on my Twitter mute list - because reporting them doesn't seem to do anything, even though they're bang to rights for impersonation

    I am sure it was and I am not blaming Roo for anything. Clearly pointing out that it was fake helps.

    David Ornstein is supposedly respected as one of the more accurate Spurs journalists.
    An aggregator account has picked up something which he supposedly reported.
    How am I getting flack for posting it? I thought this was a forum for discussion about things related to spurs? <laugh>

    Sorry, didn’t see this. And didn’t realise the original post on Twitter was fake.

    We've got three weeks of "marquee striker" headlines to look forward to, haven't we?

    Alright, time to set the rules for the drinking game

    Dusan Vlahovic - drink
    Gift Orban - drink
    Mehdi Taremi - drink
    Harry Kane returning on loan in January after the Bayern press turn on him - ...

    He's been the perfect teammate. He's one of very few who puts personal honor above financial considerations.
