The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 5th August 2013

[Riandor]

I wasn't getting into why he was ITK, I was wondering why he was considered better than all the others...come on now, don't get annoyed with me for saying something I didn't actually say.

Its the turning up out of the blue with such accurate info that did it...

Sorry that wasnt aimed at you, but there is toooooo much questioning. We saw what happened with Jasper on RO site and it just fets at me when after being asked not to discuss the ITK'ers and their reputation that people on here still persist.

I've always thought JJ was an employee of the club close to someone in the inner circle

You are the cause of much irritation. Post 703. I may now have to visit your mum.

Thank you

Once upon a time...

Honestly it's like fairy stories in here today, I don't know, you don't know, the mods might know...
How many times do we need to be asked not to speculate on identities?

 

[Misfit]

Journo said there's an offer on the table for him today.

Update 230.

Journalist said today that there is a "bid on the table" for Siggy.

Ta gentlemen. Missed that nugget. mainly focussed on the Bale info recently - no idea why! Would be a shame, imo but for some reason AVB doesn't seem to fancy Sigs in his natural position of Am for us. So far at least.

 

[SteveH]

I'm completely lost here. I take one day off to do some work and this is what I get.

The RO makes for much nicer reading these last couple of days though. Plus Bobby is official .

Senator Brears's wife is a horse!

 

[MilkyBarYid]

I guess my memory isn't as good as I thought, lol.

Mine is and he said "deal" not done, this could have meant a deal had been struck with his club yadda, yadda, yadda. But we have been over this before...

Okay. ITKs are always wrong at least once. Transfers are very complex and typically fail at an early stage but occasionally fail at a very late stage. This sucks, but it's not something that should be held against them.

If they are wrong a lot....like way too much.....they get found out and are then considered litigious nightmares by Rob

So just accept that they are going to be wrong. You can hate them or love them. Your choice. Just keep it to yourself or learn the beauty of PM's. But just ignore the ones you don't like.

Also, this -> "ITK XXXXX is the best one to me"

Stop it. You won't get to make out with them because you said that. Otherwise it leads to these silly, "but so and so said this" or "he got this wrong" arguments.

The reason there is a no bashing rule is because we get threats from ITK due to in large part to pissy internet posters who delight in calling out confirmation bias. Whuptedoo.

I don't know about a lot of you, but I make mistakes all the time. And I study CANCER. So seriously, an ITK fucking up a Diarra call.......not a big fucking deal in the grand scheme of things.

So if you are determined to be here and stay here, try to just accept that ITK is sometimes right, sometimes wrong.....but always entertaining.

We are all here for different reason. I'm here because it's fun. A lot of you have done your best to make it anything but fun this year. I don't know why and I don't care. But it's going to stop.

You're not going to win this. I love this site too much to let it be taken down by a cohort of jag-offs and unlike you I have the smartest and sanest posters on my side (and most of them tend to be moderators....the secret is that their sanity and intelligence is why Rob trusted them to be mods). I am going to make it fun again. So suck it.

 

[Benny to Bale]

Thank you Happy! I couldn't put it any better!

You did that with your opening line. Laughed my head off.

 

[Gedson100]

Happyspur's ITK is the worst by far.

 

[Shea]

So its basically JJ v Mystery/Journalist /Grey Fox

While I appreciate the ITK from those 3 guys I can't get remotely excited by it as JJ is the undisputed king of the ITK's by a mile

hmm I dunno - from what I can tell he's called a few things off the mark lately, hopefully his source is not as close to the head table as it once was and these ITK sources that tell us what we want to hear are right

 

[Leo]

My whopper meal on Wednesday has been postponed to a later date

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

(and most of them tend to be moderators....the secret is that their sanity and intelligence is why Rob trusted them to be mods)

Excepting TSH of course. His reacharounds were the clincher.

That's the only time in my life I've ever been called ITK. It's nice.

Sadly my wife's name is Tara King, so that joke comes with a massive case of blue balls

 

[HappySpur]

That's informative.

Also, this -> "ITK XXXXX Moderator TalkShowHost is the best one to me

You study cancer?!

Are you not trusted enough to study Capricorn yet?

Oh, and you do make it fun. So don't worry, you've already won.

hmmm....I think you could be receiving a watch it rating pretty soon

Merkin, Murican. It's all the same.

If anyone is curious about the quality of JJetset's information in recent years, just go to the ITK archive here and glance through his various postings. It's rather shocking how accurate he has been in the past. Everyone always mentions the Nelsen/Saha information, but there are so many other things he's mentioned that have proven accurate, that his credibility is second to none when it comes to our transfer dealings. Things like nailing Lloris being signed on August 31st, Van der Vaart potentially being off (when nobody thought that was a possibility), definitively saying we'd be going for Vertonghen in January of 2012, and many other random bits of information that no one else has provided (i.e. saying Sahin would be loaned to Liverpool, to the surprise of many!).

Hell, just a few days ago, JJ came into one of these Daily ITK Discussion threads and said Remy was off to Newcastle. A day later, Kinnear all but confirms that information, and Remy has a medical lined up for the move.

With the way he has worded his information regarding Bale being sold, I'd be very surprised if he was wrong.
