What's happened to you lot today? All being nice to each other and some really interesting and realistic posts.

Got a tear in my eye.....
It's worrying isn't it? It's like an Disucssion Thread nirvana, how we always hoped it would be.........No catfighting, cock thrusting or abuse to someone who dares voice an unpopular onion. I think their mums must have told them enoughs enough now, they must be starting to walk bandy legged.

easy enough to remedy

I could care less about the math involved, Levy only cares about himself and we will never be anything other than second rate franchise with him in charge.

And presto - five ways to start a douche-off. ;)

Please don't start a douche off.


You need to get cocked :ninja:








Joking, I'm hilarious :LOL: ... walks off to play with the traffic :(

Just stopping for a reality check; Paulinho done, Villa as good as done, Halilovic & Jedvaj apparently done, Pjanic realistic, Soldado possible, Bale staying put and its only July 3rd, phew! As Bob Dylan said "the times they are a changing"(y)


He also said "Everybody Must Get Stoned".. Legend!! ;) (y)

Anyone seen much of Pjanic? Seems an odd signing? Does't he play a similar role to Siggy/Holtby?

Stoning hurts and damn right deadly, me don't like those lyrics :oops:


That's because you're being all mature & shit, rather than being a childish twat like me & just forgetting every word, except for "Everybody Must Get Stoned", then using it as 'life advice' as to how to best enjoy your evening. (y)

If we can get a player like Soldado to join then the "payback" to Levy will be CL qualification. We are never going to make the kind of money from selling a player that we would do by having several seasons (even one!) in the CL. I truly think that Levy now gets that and is rolling the dice trying to get a double six.


The problem is that this kind of thinking is from the Risdale school of economics. Spurs have the sixth biggest budget in the prem - FACT. So there are 5 teams who can spend more money than us on players and therefore we have the 6th best chance to get champs league football.

I'm sure Levy has done his due dilligence but we're either having a mini clearout or he has been taking drugs. I simply fail to believe he is going against a transfer model that has made us into a highly competitive top 6 team just with the hope we may make champions league. What if we don't make champions league?

I thought I was being silly and the song was referring to the partaking of a Camberwell carrot :cry:

I hate being mature and shit... its mature and shit :cry:

Sell Bale? Who will undoubtedly be off if we don`t make it. Might be the time to speculate a little this season before we sell Bale and every team tries to mug us off knowing we have a wad of cash. The flip side of your question is what if we do make CL? its all a very fine balancing act. Whilst the ITK is exiciting, we haven`t actually signed anyone yet, although Paulinho looks a shoe in.

LOL, To be fair, they're absolutely fucking awful lyrics anyway and, luckily, I'm usually far too stoned to pay too much attention to them (y)

It's to do with image.

Think of all the personal savers that would leave the bank if barca/RM were refused funds. That's the massive issue with it. screwed if they do, screwed if they don't.

There was an instance a few years back with liverpool and RBS. Because of where Lpool were with there finances technically RBS could have siezed the asset to recoup their debt (it wasn't being serviced. However that asset would have been the stadium, and that would have shut Lpool and imagine the PR damage there.

It's the same issue for the Spanish banks but on a much much bigger scale.


Surely it's one thing not "calling in the loans" and effectively closing down the national institution of a club, it's another thing continuing to bank roll utter extravagance. No banks, even Real's are going to be able to act as a de facto free money pit for the club.
