I think that we should take out a full page advert in one of Marca's competitors and have it simply say:

Dear Real Madrid,

**** off, you classless ****s,

From your friends at Tottenham Hotspur.

Might not achieve anything, but it'd be funny.
 
Maybe via email, stamps are ****ing expensive nowadays.

Flaming poos are hard to send by email though

When it comes to corporations (or governments) sending an e-mail is the worst thing to do, simply because the policy for e-mails is to delete them or ignore them as a matter of (quote-unquote) principle.

However, if they receive a letter they have to open it and read the contents. So if they received several hundred letters from Spurs fans telling them to stop their policy of making up stories about Bale, they would have to sit down and read every last one of them, because you can't direct post into any spam folder.

Besides, it costs 88p to send a letter to Marca's offices. I checked.

If Bale demanded to leave I would genuinely be happy to let Barca pay £15m less than Real to take him just to prove a point. Or even Atletico.
 
i know one spanish phrase which i'm sure will be of some use here:

su perro es la diarrea
(your dog is diarrhea)
 

I had a particularly annoying dog harrassing me and zero spanish skills so i had to look up a way of insulting this dog to its owner by using a dictionary. Most the words i wanted to use (eg, a twat) at the end weren't present and finally came across diarrhea and had to make do.
I got a very funny look but at least the dog was removed from my presence

Good day good sirs, how's it going?

Saints fan here, rumours abound that we're after Kyle Naughton for 4m. I know he was mostly a back up for you guys (he would be for us too most likely) but what do you think? What's he like?

Poch, Cortese and Reed are only looking for a couple more, but backup for RB and LB is a priority area. Most of our lot seem fairly pleased that this fella could do the job!

Cheers for any thoughts on the matter and good luck for the year, except against us. :)

He played quite a lot last year, but at LB rather than RB. He's had fairly few chances at RB for us and i think/suspect that is his better position.

Okay at LB? LB is a bigger concern for us. Shaw is an exceptional talent but he was injured often last year. It was said that he came in to pre-season way out of shape and only got his chance because Fox was so terrible! Shaw should be better this year. We also have two very talented young full-backs who are probably 6 months to a year from being ready for the first team so we don't want anyone to block their progress.
 
Average and unspectacular at LB i would say. He wouldn't warrant a place in our squad as a LB alone over Benny, Rose and Vertonghen IMO.
He's right footed which doesn't help at LB, i've never been a fan of that.
Not seen much of Shaw but he would definitely be behind him.
Seems a strange move, not only for Saints (unless you are selling Shaw) but for Naughton himself. I would imagine the best thing for him right now would be to go to a team where he would get regular games at RB
 
Naughton's a player that can do a job at left-back, but it's clearly not his true position and he never looks comfortable going forward from there.
We've barely seen him at right-back, but he seems fairly solid, if a little unspectacular.
He played 32 games for Norwich in the season before last and most of them were in his natural role, so you might be better off asking them about him. They liked him.
