The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 4th August 2015

[smudger]

So have these last few pages been arguing? Saves me readying back as was on page 15 and ain't up for scrolling if nothing really there?

Know this ain't itk but looks nothing is atm

 

[Ledley's Right Foot]

Poch gave every chance to treat Adebayor like royalty, even made him vice captain to try and keep him sweet and feel wanted

True. And he was first choice in the league. And then Kane happened and Ade was number two. I don't like admitting it but Ade is good enough to play every week. It's just that Kane is better. Let's hope the itk is right and it is yesterday's problem.

Not that I need to justify anything I do, but a repeated overly negative view (in the face of evidence to the absolute contrary and bearing little or no relevance to the matter at hand) is spam in my book, and just agenda pushing and I have no time for it whatsoever. I could rate "disagree" but I think that's a coward's way out. So I rated it spam. Not sure it needed this level of rant, mate.

I also curved off the jokes by making it serious again. Almost like moderating the thread. I've been in this place a lot longer than most who frequent it, and it has ballooned in popularity (year on year). So we must be doing something right.

Actually I think it's high time that you started justifying yourself. We pay your wages remember! And we've all seen your dodgy claims for expenses. What on Earth does one person need with 200 litres of blue face paint???

Just in case Frank Lampard wants his big moon face painting?

@Spurrific I have you seen complain about neg rep many times. Yet, you give yankspurs a spam rating (but not the guy that attacked him for no effing reason) for defending himself but trying to close the loop with ITK talk.

And then you post twice with quite blatant spam.

By the way @Stoof spam'd yankspur too. And then got caught up in trying to get in on the 'Arry Potter jokes, which were all terrible, especially as "I can't name him" is nowhere in the vicinity of "He who can't be named". Forgivable for anything funny. But none of that dozen posts (of which you contributed) would be funny to a 12 year old fan girl of the Potter series. Let alone angry grown ups with a need to act childish. He may have been trying to stop them, but he made the statements so vague that they just allowed them to exacerbate.

And that's what we've become. Ironic nasty posters. And not highly intelligent ones at that. With basically @Spurger King being the only one that seems to have retained his humor and his sense of not being an utter douche bag. We see everybody's fault but our own.

gilzeantheking SPAM rates everyone. Gb160 is horrible. And Coops is the worst. And that's just rating trolls.

Anybody who has ever faced a ban of a few days, loses their head and comes back in here to be the uber-police with their ratings. Heck, I thought about just troll-rating earlier today. Made me feel like a twat and I had to immediately quit that. But it tells you how loathsome some of the raters are here that they revel in such behaviour. And lots of older posters.

It's nasty here. Really the worst I feel like I have ever seen. It's so bad, that TheFightingCock is more civil. That's a damning statement because those people hate each other. I mean you just want to get them into a locked room and give them all guns and let them self-wean the gene pool. And now that's what is happening here.

So you people need to clean your act up. All of you that engage a lot here other than probably a select few, such as Dova and SK.

Because it will fall apart if you can't stop being horrible. I am just skimming for news on signings until I find something less like a Nazi book burning. But when I wander in I think, I don't care. I'll find out on SSN. And as you go about your business of becoming a better, more angry and hateful TFC, note how little goes on there. 100 posts a day maybe. Because nobody sticks around to listen to angry people scream obscenities at each other. I hope you guys can turn it around.

But I would put money that it's already hit a tipping point, and it will only take one guy with some time to build an aggregation system like the RO and people will start gravitating away. And since it's really the old guard that is acting the most petulant, it will just concentrate the loathsome behaviour, wean the customers and leave the staff with high server costs and few posters.

Good luck.

This post justified every bad Harry Potter joke made in here.

Telling stoof off for riffing on an incorrectly attributed quote. Gold.

Seriously though Happs, that was all a bit unnecessary, wasn't it? A bit ott?
Cheer up fella.

 

[monkeynick]

Am I alone in not being all warm and fuzzy at the thought of Berahino?

A quick scan of me ole brainbox and I'd say he's about the number 6th or 7th choice England striker right now and England are a bit shitty.

A few years ago Carlton Cole would've been his equivalent(with regard to England pecking order) and we know the emotions that name stirs up

 

[@Bobby__Lucky]

Back to the itk:


I thought the itk on Townsend was interesting. Must mean we have identified a feasible right wing forward but cannot sign them unless we raise funds from Townsends sale. Good news either way. He stays = we get to see if he can do what Rose did last season, he goes and we have a replacement in mind.

What ITK on Townsend? Haven't seen that...

Sorry, memories a bit rubbish but yesterday we got something on being open to large offers. I'll try and dig it out.

As a signing he doesn't excite me
