    Brunettes who wear jeans. Uncanny. The main difference is that Pippa has darker skin - with a tint of orange.

    Not an example of hack reporting, just mentioning the Mail's circulation will now drop by 2.5m a year

    So while most media outlets are retracting their reports of a rift between Poch and Danny Rose stemming from last night's match, not least because Rose has called it bollocks, there's one blog that ignored several hours of news sources killing the story dead to publish a story saying it's obviously true and we should sell him to Man Utd in January.

    Congratulations, Harry Hotspur, you have demonstrated that you have less credibility than the Daily Star.

    I am very unforgiving of Rose and want him gone (which I have said on here) but it is farcical that a blog does that imo.

    If I ran a blog it would be a discussion piece not a sodding news item.

    Might be old news I haven't had time to check on here much today but another rumour doing the rounds is man u and spurs fighting over modric. The way he left I don't think many spurs fans would want him back despite being a class player.probably a load of old bollox anyway

    Have you seen the Channel 4 comedy "The Windsors"?

    Don Balon are reporting that we're prepared to sell Harry Kane to Los Ladrones, as long as Gareth Bale is part of the deal

    Unsurprisingly this mound of smegma has been picked up by our press, with the Express the first (of likely many) papers to regurgitate the story.

    Hopefully this will also be the inscription on Max Clifford's gravestone...

    Oh look, more joined-up journalism...

    Diario Gol have reported that Bale is set to leave Los Ladrones, with our friends at the Mail deciding to regurgitate this rather than run a story on how a user of their website is inciting a terror attack on this nation's government (with at least 77 further MailOnline users supporting this statement)

    The hackaratti are trying hard to get a Narrative (TM) going
    about Alli being unhappy about being benched (it started
    in the post-match press conference yesterday) .

    Summarised nicely thus :

    <quote>
    The unhappy player question

    It used to be the Wembley curse question and now it's the "How did Player X respond to being left out today?"

    Pochettino is getting visibly more and more irate with each passing press conference. It's moved from Danny Rose now to Dele Alli and this was his latest response. ...

    101 Great Goals with a real doozy

    Fears Tottenham's Christian Eriksen may miss the 2018 World Cup

    I dread to think how many people clicked the article when they saw the headline expecting to hear that Eriksen picked up a long-term injury, only to be confronted with little more than a couple of lines of text and an embedded Instagram post of him and his other half announcing their pregnancy.

    Headline in that font of reliable storytelling The Star has run with the following headline...

    Dele Alli is just another overhyped England player - Alan Shearer

    ...a headline culled from former overhyped England player Alan Shearer's column in The Sun.

    The Star citing The Sun as a source? **** me...

  14. Having built us up (well, kinda), the hack press will now set about tearing us down; the prime objective being to unsettle our players ahead of the expected tapping up campaign by United, in the Summer.

    There will be no perspective, so no mention of the obscene amounts of money spent by the teams ahead of us, or the fact that we were always going to struggle at Wembley, and possibly for the next two seasons as we settle into our new stadium.

    Hopefully, Levy and Poch have discussed this, and the club will retain a dignified silence in the face of the expected ignorant wummery from Sky, TalkShite, and Murdoch’s tapping up machine.

    Oh, and I hope Levy answers the phone every time it rings, tells Mourhino to fcuk off, and hangs up before giving the twat a chance to say “hello.”

    Professional gobshite Ian Wright has said that, if Dele Alli wants a big agent, he needs to move to a big lub.

    Here's a list of some of the clients of big agents Jorge Mendes and Mino Raiola...
    Andre Grey (Watford)
    Helder Costa, Ruben Neves, Diego Jota, Ivan Cavaleiro, Roderick Miranda (Wolves)
    Carlos Vela (Real Sociedad)
    Anwar El Ghazi (Lille)
    Nelson Oliveira (Norwich)
    Miguel Veloso (Genoa)
    Burgui (Alaves)
    Bebe (Eibar)
    Bruno Gama (Deportivo La Coruna)
    Danny, Tomas Necid (Slavia Prague)
    Vitor Gomes (Deportivo Aves)
    Enca Fati (Moreirense)
    Marcos (Parana)
    Tiago Alves (Salgueiros)
    Vato Arveladze (Lokomotivi)
    Patjim Kasami (FC Sion)
    Ricardo Kisha (Den Haag)
    Ouasim Buoy (Cultural Leonesa)
    Alan Empereur (Foggia)
    Hicham Kanis (Cantazaro)
    Burak Kardes (Wellen)
    Gaston Brugman (Pescara)
    Ben Rienstra (Willem II)
    Luciano Narsingh (Swansea)

    So without a shadow of a doubt I can say this: Ian Wright doesn't have a ****ing clue so should shut his gob.

    While I agree that he should shut his mouth, I think that you've misread his comments.
    He's saying that he thinks that Alli's got a big agent because he wants a big move, but that he's not playing well enough to justify it.
    It's speculative, but he has a point about his performances.

    Nope, I've read the comments right...at least the brief snippet of his comments that is the entire basis of numerous clickbait articles flying around left, right and centre.

    Alli has already got a big (**** of an) agent, so your version doesn't make sense

    That's the thing with hack journalism: if anyone thought about it for a second, it wouldn't make the slightest bit of sense.

    I also read it wrong, as I thought he'd already sorted out his agent and it was the same one that Kane has.
    Is that not what this previous article from the same source says, in fact?
    https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/fo...arry-kane-and-cristiano-ronaldo-a3712231.html

    I'm confused.
