Just get those wacky glasses from ASDA for a quid. Makes everything look enormous. You got to concentrate though, glance upwards at the nose or zits and Mr Softees chimes start calling.

Why act the tw at? Clearly adding to and extending existing is cheaper than bringing them in completely new.

No but the original buildings were small and most of the pitches already laid. That's a much lower cost than starting from scratch - clearing trees, levelling the ground and putting in services across a large site.

refurbish is the wrong word but drainage, power, water and gas were already laid down and the site was level. That should have lopped about 15% off the price.

Bear is a pulse man. And he can negotiate on that too.

A new car for the committee members and a jolly in Cap Antibes, normal FIFA procedure.

Not forgetting that within that cost they had to purchase 77 acres of land near North London, they have 15 pitches to our 10/11 and the build itself is much bigger.

I was mainly thinking of the other 14 pictures, but take your point...

Its a Covair dome. http://covair.co.uk/double-skin-domes-prices/

Im agog to be taught by you.

I think the foundations had gone and repair wasn't much cheaper than building new. It was a relatively minor part of the cost though.

Go on then, explain that tautology, its easy after all.

True story. I kept forgetting mine and letting it boil dry though.

Anything newsworthy?

Its very good and a huge improvement. My only gripe is we paid more than necessary. Most of the clubs above us have better and most of the clubs below worse so we're about where we 'should' be. For comparison this is what Pochettino has gone to. http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-club/new-training-centre/

Its just that the Yanks drink weak coffee. Use only half the amount of water that they say and its usually fine.

Whilst contractors paid idle staff. Thats the point.

Not if you chose purple leather and orange paintwork

Obviously very little is known for sure but that's a decent analysis imo.

Actually I did. I thought you'd died. How was the afterlife?

Think you've missed the point too. I imagine Turkish was referring to the fact that the upgrades should have cost £15-£20m but because of the constant design and spec changes when work was already underway what should have been a c£17m project turned into a £30m one.

Personally I think it will delay it. I got the impression he started to feel he needed to move to get in the French team. Now he doesn't.

Those coy pictures where women pose naked for pictures but cross their arms and legs to avoid you seeing anything really **** me off! Heres a radical idea, either keep a bikini on or flaunt it proudly.

Is it absolutely finished now MLG?
