Well, since recording today’s show, it looks like tomorrow’s show may well be the humdinger of all times. Put yourself up to judge others, and you really need to sport box-fresh underwear. But today we just have the THSTs ambitious move to advise/control what Spurs fans say and do. Tick tock.
The Eriksen thing rumbles ever onwards, but for my money, the Dane is better off blossoming where he is. Conte’s future is a subject of speculation and I provide my take on how the man who says he wants to win, is thinking…
,
It was probably just paper talk, however I can see Eriksen giving someone a right hander if he got annoyed enough, and if that had actually happened, he probably would have been annoyed enough! 😂
He was a key part of that side under Pochettino but he used to go missing in so many games and spells of the season when we really needed him in top form. I believe Eriksen is a quality player but not a ‘World Class’ one…
Missing out on Diaz is just the latest example of how much Levy is preventing progress on the pitch. It was farcical…
I agree, the two Juventus boys have been solid additions thot have helped with our consistency. I’d rather we’d kept that money to get Diaz over the line and not got those two, but then again ‘two for the price of one’ will always appeal to Levy, regardless of their quality…
Definitely South Park, forgot all about that.
We were after both,but hey Levy was in hardball mode.
You mean the Sun just made something up? Lol. I don’t really care about that stuff. I did think the Vertonghen shagged your wife chants were funny though.
On the pitch we certainly need a creative CAM especially against the weaker sides, but there are many more players I’d prefer – I agree with you there KC.
Plus South Park and the American Office.. Pure satire.
I hope he’s not wanted, but I can see him wanting to come back.. No disrespect to Brentford but we’re a bigger club… Watch the Amazon doc and you’ll see that the Bald one offered to match any other wage that Tintin was offered elsewhere. So it wasn’t about the money. He said he wanted a new challenge.. He knew we were in decline and he clearly didn’t fancy Maureen when he took over. Maybe he always intended to leave when he did… Tintin gave Vertongen a black eye in a training ground collision playing football.. So the Sun paper runs with the story Verts bedded his wife so there was a punch up.. Absolute nonsense mate. Tintins a pussycat imagine him actually doing that. Both players rubbished the rumours at the time anyway.
I don’t see how Eriksen would ever sign another contract Levy. Sure it helps that Vertonghen’s gone, but Levy’s unwillingness to pay him or sell him has to be too much to overcome. It is possible though that Eriksen has had a “change of heart.” Seriously, he’s gone through too much and really deserves better.
You guys would enjoy Resident Alien.
Indeed!
I think most of the people leading this whitewash are generally university educated media types that really fail to understand the context because they have never experienced it first hand.
I mean, a lot of the urban slang the ‘kids’ use today would also shock these people, not to mention this thing they call ‘rape culture’ etc, the sexism can be mental. This stuff is off the scale, but because it didn’t exist in previous decades and it’s ‘young people’ saying it, it gets a free pass.
Complete double standards, but hey, is this really about being offended or just going after an older, previously established proletariat culture they’d rather eradicate? Partly because the dispensable income within this group is much lower, just look at the virtue signalling by these corporate retailers. So f*cking cynical it really is…
I think back watching my father with his friends at the time living in North London.
If I repeated the nick names they knew each other by let alone somethings they said I’m sure I’d be locked up. Though even to this day I only know one of my dad’s friend by sinbad.
But as most are aware on here they were still mates.
Same way the old man could deal with people from communities that moved around and had no issue where he ran his business regardless what they drunk.
Most common people know this is okay because they can distinguish, but some make the issue bigger than how actually real people get on in the real world, because it gives the a sense of self significance. They’d rather drive the wedge even on humour.
Son & Marbs I have to agree, Curb Your Enthusiasm is obviously great. Also Seth MacFarlaine’s stuff; Family Guy and the other cartoons are really a case in point. Everyone gets the pi** taken out of them so nobody can reasonably build a case that it’s ‘offensive’ and actually so what? When in the right context, being ‘offended’ can be hilarious. So if absurd stereotypes involving race, sexuality or gender are used, they are used in equal measure for everyone else too. THST probably need to sit down and watch a few episodes, to grasp the concept of context.
I think shows like Curb and ‘Family Guy’ and ‘American Dad’ actually share a lot with the British sensibility.
Really though, people just need to lighten the f*ck up, grow up and stop accusing others of being ‘nasty’ when they aren’t…
Curb is the only decent modern comedy they have! I live in the US and most of their tv stinks.
I have lived in the US for almost 20 years and it always makes me laugh how they can’t take the pi** out of themselves. It’s one of our greatest traits and unique and hilarious. Protect at all costs.
You are absolutely right. The British sense of humour should be protected at all costs as it does not exist anywhere else in the world. It should be treated a a national treasure. I have never found that irony is appreciated in any other country, with particular reference to the US. How ironic is it that the THST who have been apologists for the misrule of Enic for the last twenty years and who are meant to represent the fans of Spurs now reveal themselves a a politically correct bunch of numbskulls. I suggest that we all go to sleep tonight forgetting that they ever existed,
I would like to make one point about the British sense of humour which is linked to your comments above. When did you last really enjoy a British comedy sitcom or stand up comedian? Modern comedy seems to me to be unfunny and the only comedian I find amusing is Peter Kay. I find myself in something of a quandary, as although Americans have no understanding of irony, why is it that I find US comedy shows much funnier than ours? I am going to name a few US shows that I find amusing, some are of an earlier vintage than others. Seinfeld, Cheers, Frazier, the Larry Sanders Show, absolutely brilliant, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, my all time favourite. So what has happened to our famous sense of humour? Infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me! Boom, boom!
Tis true. Critical thinking is long dead and buried unless you come here of course.
Villa also have two full backs that are way better than anything we have spunked money on in recent windows.
Watching the Villa Liverpool game, the latter have just gone ahead to lead 2-1. What have the goal maker and the goal scorer have in common? Answers on a postcard please.
The British sense of humour can be wicked, ironic and warm all at the same time. It’s this that’s being lost more than anything.
The world is becoming homogenised, cultural nuances are too complex for globalisation to cope with. So the forces of globalisation are trying to wash away ‘local’ idiosyncrasies and the British sense of humour is set to go with it.
I was always staggered at how many people in the U.S and around Europe that I’d met just didn’t get British humour. Particularly the ironic nature of it and the gallows humour etc.
Because cultural standards are now set internationally, people within the different cultures are now turning on themselves and questioning their own idiosyncrasies and cultural behaviours because it doesn’t fit with what they’re brainwashed into thinking is now ‘normal’.
It’s actually quite frightening, people are being turned into droids, in particular ’woke’ droids …
I enjoy both Juve recruits, but this is the second or third time Bentancur was badly off the pace in a game, so I’m beginning to get worried that this might be a theme with him. Kulu is great, but Diaz seems like a player who can change a game all by himself (as he did for Pool against Villarreal away).
Still, both are far ahead of Lo Celso, Ndombele, and other fabulous recruits.
Love the last line! Spot on. Kulu is decent but nowhere near the level of Diaz.
I hope Eriksen doesn’t come back for his own self respect. He was being paid circa £70,000 per week whilst Alli was on nearer to £200,000, I believe. No wonder he was disillusioned by Levy. He should stay at Brentford where he is needed and appreciated. He will only tarnish his reputation by coming back to Spurs.
Both Bentancur and Kulu had poor games against Liverpool, particularly the former who struggled with the pace. They are good additions but let us not forget that they were both benchwarmers at Juve.
I keep saying it, but we should have moved heaven and earth to sign Diaz. We could have done it if our beloved chairman had taken his thumb out of his ar** and moved quickly. Instead, he played his usual blinder and let Liverpool in the back door. This is another one of those the sort of countless examples of why Liverpool win things under FSG and why we win nothing under Enic and Levy.
Never underestimate Levy’s capacity for getting any football or PR matters wrong. He is to football what Gerald Ratner was to jewellery.
Our prices at that toilet bowl are elite. Everything football-related isn’t. If we took Kane and Son out, the team would be another Everton.
So true, unfortunately.
Eriksen looks like he is enjoying his football , I’d go for the stress free option ..I also don’t want Levy to be given a free hit at an AM ..he often went missing in bigger games …or when he got a reducer ..thought we were elite…surely we need an elite AM.
Haaland signs for City, them and Liverpool are going to monopolise most of the trophies next year, we’ll have to settle for winning the ropey!
As for Eriksen I suggest the lad stays well clear of the little bald shyster that refused to pay him what he was actually worth. It’s not surprising he lost his mojo – who wants to work for an employer who grossly undervalues you?
Make no mistake Eriksen was a world class player and played for the best Spurs team I can remember. I know it’s not fashionable for some people to remember old players and managers with respect, but I wish him all the best whatever he chooses.
I don’t want Eriksen to come back .. bailing Levy out with his elite prices , building projects and constant footballing failure..
Levy should pay ..shyster..
Though some signings or group of signings are a major problem..
It’ll be the kind of ‘human story’ Levy is always gagging for. It distracts everyone from the actual priorities which should be trying to win stuff. Levy loves an excuse…
No signing or group of signings we ever make are the ‘answer’ to anything. If they were, we’d have won more than one poxy League Cup in 23 years…
Have to agree. We had his best years, now he’s just another cheap option that will provide exactly that value. Our sights should be much higher but we know they won’t be.
Eriksen left us believing he could do better for himself. He didn’t buy into the ‘project’ Health issues aside he wouldn’t have come back to the PL and specifically THFC. Let’s remember he couldn’t get corners passed the first defender. He lost interest.
Little has changed at THFC there’s nothing here for him, but importantly he’s not the answer for us.
