You'd know.

Ohhh, ouch. To me football is pretty simple. You give players the confidence to go out there and show what they can do within a basic structure. Give them an element of freedom in their play so that there not over thinking things like they would if they've been given a 20 page document on the opposition, or where they should run if the balls in a certain area of the pitch. Players have played the game for a long time, they should have a feel for it. give me a manager who the players like and respect over one who showers them in stats and bores them because you'll get alot more out of them.

I like A&C's latest bit of ITK.

Let's hope the thickos actually learn eh...

I say just get the ban stick out for any douchebags neg repping the messengers. The discussion thread is the place for expressing disagreements (preferably in the word form, rather than just pressing a button)

I know you're kidding, you know you're kidding, but you'll get done for censor evasion. I'd edit that out if I were you, the mods around here are proper hard.

Done. Never even occured to me that anagrams counted but why wouldn't they. Also, I don't appreciate your condescending tone.

So anyway, the camp is firmly split in 2 as to whether this was a brilliant window or a masterpiece. Why do I get the impression that had we signed Moutinho, that would still be case. "Why no Meandro or Messi?!" Me personally, I'm devastated VDV has gone. The only black mark on the summer for me. :cry:

I had a tone? No tone was intended. I just thought it was a light hearted way of giving you a heads up, perhaps next time I ought to just fucking infract you myself. I also feel I ought to mention I don't give a fuck what you appreciate. Now there's your 'tone'

A&C Could you explain the post regarding JJ to me? Without obviously elaborating on the information you didn't want to post.
Worried we're going to lose one of our best ITK's.

But the Joao stuff? That's all crapola right? Because it doesn't fit what some guy wrote on vitalfootball? Even JJ was saying we were after him hard on deadline day, JJ doesn't say what he does on a PR Exercise. The way I see it, Levy had worked his arse off all summer trying to sweeten Porto to lowering their demands. On deadline day they finally did, he tried to pounce and the player/agent messed us about and then Porto jumped in too.

It was never a guaranteed transfer, but anyone calling it a PR Exercise has blinkers on, there's too much evidence to the contrary. You don't get a transfer extension on a PR Exercise.
Yes yes yes, Levy twied vewy vewy hard and it all just came cwumblin around our ambitious ears at the vewy final moment...bleh.

I'm afraid I can't add anything, I just posted what he tweeted. I have no idea what JJ is going to do. He says he might quit Twitter, if he does, then I would hope we'll be having a conversation at some point about him returning to SC to post his stuff and settling on a mutually agreeable formula.

Personally him quitting twitter wouldn't effect the quality of his posts IMO. Unlike some other ITK's he never posted his 'opinion' or jumped the gun due to the demand placed on him via twitter... He always stuck to his guns and posted sporadic neccesary updates.
But you're right hopefully he makes the jump back to here; would be great to have a truly reliable source!

I realize you're being sarcastic, but I'm curious as to how you're so sure levy did not really try to sign moutinho. I know jjetset said otherwise, but he's at least earned his stripes as itk. Are you posting as itk, or is it just cynicism on your part?

I think Misfit was jokingly referring to an earlier post. Personally I blame Levy.
