There should be no reason to slander Ally Gold. He is a good bloke, proper Spurs fan. Yes, he works in a media environment whose business model requires a few articles a day, designed to drive traffic to a web site. He is not professing to be a crack investigative journalist uncovering political corruption. He follows Spurs, he asks questions, and he offers his opinions. Its not complicated.

As I said, he comes across as a good bloke, just getting by, like the rest of us. If anyone does not like it - then don't follow him on social media, or click on his articles.


He also has some pretty good contacts within the club and in order to keep those, he has to toe the line. There will be things he's told to hold back on and other things that are OK for general consumption. What Ally shares is what the club are happy to have out there and I'm sure he has plenty of other information that he keeps under wraps to help the club.

Genuinely think this guy actually knows a smidgen of what he makes out. Didn’t he say Romero was injured, when he’s in full training today. He spotted a gap in the market and filled it very well. Good luck to him built his brand very well. But I take absolutely no notice of anything the says. What happened to the training kit deal exclusive?

Howler of a post

Ooooooh maybe he shouldn't let them savages know he used to post on here as we all know how much they love us… ??

Strangely enough, the forum and the podcast are so distinct that it's a wonder how it is such a mess.

Much like when you know someone who's relatively normal, but they say "here's my brother" and said person is smearing faeces all over all wall making obscene words, looking like a BNP activist

Hmm in a lot of ways it's better.

Last time I had a look at their transfer window page, there was a guy absolutely insistent that ENIC pay people to go on there and argue with him.

I'm assuming that's not one of the ways :ROFLMAO:

Haha you always get some nutjobs here and there :D

It's not a lot different from here to tell you the truth, I hate the fonts and the layout but at least they don't ban you inexplicably ?

Not sure if he is a member or not, but should persuade Ally to join, would be a good addition to the ITK thread.

I've heard Ally say on a number of occasions he's not 'ITK' in the strictest sense of the phrase, so it's wrong for people to automatically assume he is, but that he's just not very good at it.

What he does have which sets him apart from most other journos is a love for THFC and a real talent for being completely honest and genuine with his observations, without being sensationalist or putting out 'clickbait'.

He’s a top bloke. Very kindly gave me some advice the other day about the pod I’m starting up with my mates.

Yeah I should say I was a bit harsh in saying “ he makes out “ I think it’s other people perception that he’s massively in the loop. Maybe it’s a fair assumption as he’s now the biggest Spurs journo. My point was really if you compare to say Paul Joyce with Liverpool and Ornstein at Arsenal the amount of real exclusive content is very small. The majority of content is just logical informed opinion. But good luck to him I’ve actually meet him couple times at Spurs and clearly very nice guy. With such a following now I’d imagine a more high profile job is just round the corner and wish him all the best.
