What you said was this: Why on earth would Spurs fans "hardly admit that the manager they got from us were poor decisions"? Spurs fans say they thing their manager is good and their centre back is good because they are good. Nothing to do with "hardly admitting" anything. If Pochettino and Toby were sh it they'd "accept" that just like any fans of any club.

Obviously I don't, it was an observation on the usual drivel from Wes Tender.

"I love you Pompey" to that tune would sound rather good, to be fair.

The9 can probably do the maths but I doubt our coefficient would be much better than this year - we lost to a lower seeded team so technically proved to "worse" than our initial coefficient suggested. Unless we get an improved score based on the fact we qualify from England twice in a row, of course.

"He's going to mention Stephen Lawrence in a minute" thinks me to myself. And boom! Off he goes. Still ludicrous. Reckon he's only five posts away from the Holocaust, which I have no doubt he'll pretend other people here have never heard of, but, like, Charlie has. He'll be demanding people "now admit" that it happened and everything. Really rather sweet to accuse others of being out of their depth when one's entire position is to pompously argue against an entirely fabricated opposing position that no one has said and then get jolly outraged about it, replete with more Grandstanding than Des Lynam and Steve Rider put together. But crack on in your little fantasy land Charlie. It's like having a debate in chuffing Narnia.

Arf. Answer the question. Laughable. Teach us all, oh wise one, teach us all more about stuff every effing single one of us already knows all about.

Am I now agreeing that? Now? Now I've been educated by SWF's most pompous grandstander? Fu ck me, I'm not sure you could get any more patronising.

No surprise - this season is looking like his and probably Spurs best shot at fourth for a while. He's a settled season ahead of Klopp so really should be set up nicely for him. However, if the papers are to be believed Levy wants 4th and CL regularly, not nearly fourth, which is what other managers have been sacked/let go for.

.....

It's ludicrous because this is supposed to be a thread about the potential for a high profile footballer to come out as gay in 2015, and then a general discussion about how homophobic society is in general. It's not a thread about institutional racism in the police force in the 1970s, or institutional racism in the police force now, or racism anywhere, then or now. So your Parkhurst routine wasn't even about homophobia, it was about racism so even less to do with the topic in hand than even I originally thought. So I am actually even more right than I thought, that you were just grandstanding by using 1970s examples to make a point about 2015 Britain.

I didn't accuse you of lying, just said they were ludicrous claims, and they are. Blathering on about stuff people said to you decades ago not really germane to the topic in hand, it just facilitated your pompous and pointless grandstanding, which has stunk the whole thread out. So let's be clear - I believe every word you say. It just has fu ck all to do with anything.

When have I got some of my own medicine back? In other news, someone crying like a girl: The unmitigated gall of it. PS: "Crying like a girl" is, like, so sexist and demeaning and people should be locked up for saying stuff like that. Preferably with your pals in Parkhurst.

Well, clearly it was about me, so yet another lie. I haven't complained about anything you've dished out to me so another lie. You really are astonishingly full of it.

How nice. Your last few posts have revealed the real you, so let's put away your pretence of being some holier than thou freedom fighter, shall we? You can always judge people by the company they keep and from where I'm standing you're no better than your sh ithouse mates.

Martin O'Neil did it with Aston Villa a few years back which still feels like the most ridiculous stupidity and like you I would be fuming if we did it. I think they were in the quarter finals of the Europa and chucked it away with an under-strength side for the off chance of getting into the qualification round of the Champions League. Obviously they didn't do that. But fair play, they never looked back after that.....

You took a day to reply to me.

That actually made me snort. Very good.

One win since our last win?

Spurs fans must be only football fans in the world who pretend that they think their manager and centre back are good solely to avoid losing face to the club they bought them from. Funny how Liverpool fans don't do that with Lovren, Lallana and Lambert, isn't it? I think most Liverpool fans will quite happily "hardly admit" that "the players they got from us were poor decisions".

Clang, clang, clang.

I apologise for my unmitigated gall.

Clang, clang, clang. Did someone ring the patently-obvious-troll-bell? Yes, yes they did.

But if Koeman, the player and the medical team think Fonte is 100% fit and they want to play him, they'd be wrong to do that?

Well, there are countless examples of managers who use TV interviews to talk about gaps in their squad and a requirement for "more quality", "one or two more in key areas", "more competition", so that's what else he could say. On all the evidence I'd say Ronald is happy with his squad and the support he is getting from the club. The only "crap" is when certain football chairmen make aimless promises of Champions League football, but that's "spin" and "soundbites" only the foolish fall for, isn't it.

Probably a stronger squad than last season, but a weaker first team. We sold our best player to one of the biggest clubs in the world. It's not that easy to just get better and better and better but I think we are holding up very well. We're going to finish 7 -10th and that's fine by me. Delighted to see Cedric getting MOM on here only a few weeks since he was the poster boy for the "we can't keep on selling our best players and replacing them cheaply" moaners. We've got a very good team and a squad with reasonable depth. Happy days.
