BBC 'snowflake' alert!!
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-cling-film-joke-southend-essex-a7984321.html

This story featured on BBC London news this evening, with their cub (muppet) reporter gleefully claiming credit for having uncovered this outrageous behaviour!! Really?????

As a result of their making and reporting a story out of absolutely nothing, decent fire fighters will likely be disciplined. Well done, BBC - good to see our license fee being wisely spent!! <doh>
 
Janan Ganesh, the FT columnist and biographer of George Osborne who called Corbyn supporters "as thick as pigshit" in a Twitter meltdown last year has been nominated for a Political Commentator of the Year award.

Also nominated is Nick Cohen, who has somehow spent the past eighteen months writing the exact same anti-Corbyn article every Sunday in the Observer, who somehow managed to top that during the Labour conference by comparing Shadow Fire and Emergency Services Minister Chris Williamson to Benito Mussolini.
 
The news today :

1. Just about into the first 24 hrs of the hack collective gossip
on our DOF being sold to Man Utd (no clarity yet on WHEN) .


2. Ricky Lambert is allegedly claiming that the Pochettino
training regime "broke" him.

This one is interesting, given that the current England manager
is recently on record as saying that he has noted that the
fitness levels of his Spurs contingent are high (collectively
better than other clubs ?? ) .

That's funny, most other people assume that two seasons of playing for Brendan Rodgers broke him...

Meanwhile, OOPS...

The hacks have all gone for the 'Kane in Madrid Swap' nonsense, like the pack of mindless ravening hounds that they are. This, despite the fact that all 3 of Benzema, Bale and Modric are over the age that we would normally consider buying and are all sitting on long contracts. Finally, it's estimated that the 3 of them, collectively, pull in £800k p/w in wages. That's £41.5m p.a. - getting on for half our total wage bill.

So, a club that can't pay top earners, Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris, more than £100k per week and has a total wages spend of around £100m, is going to......
  • destroy its wage policy;
  • dump its transfer strategy on young players,
  • piss off all its other players who are tied to a wage budget from a different universe;
  • endanger the new stadium funding;
  • probably breach Premier League rules;
  • sell its best and most influential player, who doesn't want to leave?

Hmmmmmm? That's one hell of a slow news week.

If they throw in Isco and Assensio plus pay 90% of the wages and another £300 million Levy might be tempted.

There has already been a formal protest to the IPCC
by the club over this. Our DOF has complained that
this Kane to Madrid nonsense is keeping his move to
Man Utd off the top of the gossip charts.

Articles today claiming that Irving Scholar was in
talks to bring Fergie to Spurs after Keithy left.

Interesting, in terms of whether :

1. Fergie would have maintained/improved on Keithys'
cup haul, or even won the league.

2. Irrespective of any good coming from 1, Scholar still
would have put the club into the nosedive that led to the
brink in 1991 (would have been goodbye Fergie for
certain) .

We have finally reached the bottom of the ITK barrel: using the club's 2018 calendar as a source of transfer rumours by pointing out who doesn't feature - which has been reported by This Is Futbol

That's right, we're selling Aurier and Sanchez in January.

Isn't it about time Daniel Levy installed a dedicated premium rate phone line to deal with Hack questions w.r.t. potential transfers? About £400 a minute should do the job providing it takes about 5 minutes to get through the automated answering bit.

Press 1 for upfront payment terms ...

Press 1 if you can pay up to 80%

Press 2 if you can pay up to 50%

Press 3 if you think you can get the same
terms I would get from you
