We never get any interesting itk rumours to discuss anymore. The club are much too professional.

There was an entire thread with ITK posts on it once but the naysayers made sure no one posted on that any more

It seems out of character for you to give in to a handful of noisy “naysayers”, who made a deliberate point of posting on a thread they thought pointless. I enjoyed it, never once got a cryptic clue, but nevertheless thought it an entertaining thread.

We took so much abuse, including private messaging and death threats, but haters gonna hate.

It wasn’t a case of giving in. The CoT was offering a service to Saints fans but it was ruined by a few jealous, bitter individuals who couldn’t handle truth. It was envy on a scale never seen before. People show their true colours unfortunately the few ruined it for the many.

Not worth the hassle mate just to get abuse, I appreciate the ITK snippets. 

Thanks for the DM by the way, very interesting!

It was a nonsense look at me thread, full of obscure clues that only came to fruition after the event and the clues were moulded to fit the ending.

it seemed like a bunch of schoolboys talking behind their hands, it was entertaining and added a bit of humour but in no way was it an informative thread IMHO.

Anyway, I cant recall who was the main person on the thread but he stomped off in a huff as some questioned how accurate the info was. 

If it came back I would read it and enjoy any banter but not take it as real ITK stuff. We do have a couple on here who have posted good info but not for a while

Agree, bring back the COT. Don't let a few sceptics spoil it for the rest of us.

The success of other people doesn't mean you are a failure Nick.

You could have bypassed the thread Nick, there are quite a few subjects / threads I steer well clear of.

I took it as an amusing thread, the members took themselves seriously and couldnt take it when they were questioned. Id love it to come back and enjoy the banter but the 'we know but not tell you what', is just a nonsense. IMO they knew very little apart from what they saw on social media, but it was fun and a loss as was always a go to when I looked on the site

Absolutely, alive and dead. Up until 100 years ago no one had ever had a warm shower. People alive today live better than Kings from 200 years ago. Just that fact alone makes your life more successful than billions of others. So no need to be bitter against those who know a bit more about the inner goings on at a championship football club than you do.

You can take it however you want too. However the members of the CoT did it for no gain for themselves whatsoever and were subject to abuse, ridicule, threatening PMs and even worse. Why would you continue to share things that doesn't benefit you at all when you are being abused?

Look I've got a good secondhand moped and get envious eyes as I drive about, ok sometimes I have to push it, but I can tell people just want it

Will Wankshear surely?

Not only was the 2016 team one of the best we had in terms of players it was also the best for spiteful nicknames

Graziano Pell-end

Dusan Turd-ic

Jordy Not so Claise

to name but 3. 

I encourage the signing of Lankshear so we can have a rival to these glory days.

I cant believe that some took your thread so serious that they threatened you. Nobody apart from a few know who you are, so how can you be threatend. God social media is so stupid if so. I assume those people were banned from here?

It wasn't my thread, it was our thread. I think those that got all tricky forgot they were also dealing with the leader of the DEF, Europes most notorious hooligan gang so wouldn't have been so tough in real life.

oh I thought you were the head of COT that notorious bunch, never heard of DEF but im sure they are the real dela. A man I know here, had mad Frankie Frazer as a mate, I never met him thankfully.

Me too please Turkish. I can't understand why some people can get so upset by a few footie rumours, just take it with a pinch of salt. I have to say, I didn't really pay much attention to the CoT thread, the clues were too cryptic for a thicko like me, I guess that's why I'm not allowed a vote.

The first pumped hot shower was patented in 1810 but the Romans and Greeks had gravity-fed showers around 500BC.

Good point, thank you. Interesting but the ITKs back in ancient Rome also used clues. This clue was Gladiator Maximus Calitamos was moving to Pompei to fight down there after being sold for 15 horses by Caesar Augustus and people say the CoT are cryptic.

The many hours spent completing that mosaic reminded very much of the intricate craft involved in the COT clues.
