I love how offended people are by me not liking some rubbish twitter rumours being posted here. The negative rep really hurts a lot, please spare me, I don't know what I would do with myself if my rep bar turns slightly more red!

Edit: Right... I'll stop now since it's off-topic.

There's a MASSIVE difference between not liking a rumour & belittling somebody for taking the time to come on here to share something that they have heard. Would it really be so hard to say something like, "with the greatest of respect, I don't believe that for a single second"??. Fair play, we're all individuals, but I fail to see the need for anything other than a questionable response, rather than a belittling one.

I guess that's just one of the drawbacks of being an old fashioned & respectful so & so

Thanks for being much more eloquent than me

Lol mate. I'd like to apologise to anyone who may think I'm acting all 'headmaster like'. That really isn't my intention, i just get hung up on ridiculous things like respecting others, or their opinions. I'll reign it in if it pisses people off? I just feel it undermines all the good work that A&C (and any other mods) put in to making this site an enjoyable facility for everybody lucky enough to frequent it.

Absolutely hence my sig. And it's clear to see which bracket the poster in question falls within!!

What I said was this.

Well it's not like you are simply a messenger, you decided to post it here even though you and probably every one else thinks it's bullshit. If you think it's bullshit then don't simply post it here since it probably is just bullshit.

He himself said that he thought it was "bullshit" and I simply questioned that if he thinks it's bullshit then why even post it? I don't find that insulting or belittling at all. I think you are overreacting. Last transfer window this forum was basically unusable because of all the constant posts from twitter ITK and dogshit rumours that wasn't grounded in reality, I for one don't want that again.

Then you made this comment.

P.S.. May I enquire as to how you know he wasn't there? Although I doubt it very much myself, is there any reason he couldn't have been in one of the directors boxes without any supporters knowing about it?

I admit that my reply to this comment was snarky but both questions you asked were illogical. It's imposible to prove that something wasn't there. The burden of proof isn't on me questioning it, the burden of proof is on the one making the claim. The second question kind of doesn't make any sense. If no one knew he was there how can people claim to know that he was there?

Then you went on with the fire engine comment and apparently I'm also a narrowminded tard. Well thank you for being so respectful.

Ok, last point you made. Perhaps it wasn't the case of "nobody knowing he was there". It's not inconceivable that he was smuggled into a directors box but one or two lucky individuals happened to see it, then the whispers would begin. Fair comment?

Next point. Even though the guy himself thought it was bullshit, doesn't mean that everybody else would or should too. Does everybody believe ITK stuff? Or do some (many?) think it's bullshit? Based upon your logic, because some (many?) may think ITK is bullshit, it shouldn't be posted on here. Fair comment?

Final point. I don't know whether it was you who made the original response to the 'whisper-gate' post? Or the response after that about Jesus being at WHL? (& I can't be arsed right now to go back and check), but THAT was the person my responses were directed at.

Edit: Yeah I found the energy to be arsed to go back & check. It was you who made the comments I was originally responding to, my sig still stands.. You shouldn't go around belittling other people just because they were trying to do something that they consider 'a nice thing to do.... You should try it one day, it can be rather invigorating to be nice.

I am getting bored, the window has been open 21 and a half hours and we haven't signed anybody yet! Whats happening, I suppose Daniel went and watched a football match today. He needs to get his priorities right. In case he has forgotten and on the of chance he might read this, we the supporters reckon we need a striker (you know the bloke who puts the ball in the back of the opposing teams goal.) and a playmaker general (he is the bloke who has the ball glued to his feet and runs a merry dance around the opposing team) Does that bring back memories? You get these by talking to other football teams and offering them some money. Now don't take a turn for he worse, you will soon recoup your money, probably with interest.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Anyway, enough of this off topic nonsense. I don't need it & neither does the site. I've made my point as clearly as possible, you fail to see it. Fair play fella. At the end of the day we're all Yiddos, that alone should be enough for us to be able to show eachother a bit of respect, no?..

Cheers all, I'm off to be all sad & watch a bit of Spartacus. Why? Well, like Arseanal, it's full of tits & cu**s COYS

Well that wasn't what you said and it's still highly unlikely.

Next point. Even though the guy himself thought it was bullshit, doesn't mean that everybody else would or should too. Does everybody believe ITK stuff? Or do some (many?) think it's bullshit? Based upon your logic, because some (many?) may think ITK is bullshit, it shouldn't be posted on here. Fair comment?

Well it depends on what you define as "ITK". Should people with a proven or semi-proven trackrecord have their tweets or comments posted here? Absolutely. Should a guy who claims to be a football agent and have been wrong 99% of the time or random people on twitter get any attention? No.

Final point. I don't know whether it was you who made the original response to the 'whisper-gate' post? Or the response after that about Jesus being at WHL? (& I can't be arsed right now to go back and check), but THAT was the person my responses were directed at.

Well if peoples "nice" things turns out to have a negative effect perhaps they shouldn't do it. For example the last transfer window when this place was a mess and people were posting "Agent_ITK" tweets all over the place. I'm sure they did it because they thought people might want to see it but it just made everything a mess. And again, I cant see what in my reply to him was belitteling in any way, I think it's quite neutral.

But if you want to get your knickers in a twist and start insulting me because of that, go a head. You talk about respecting people and being nice but I can't really say that you are setting a good example yourself. Resorting to ad hominem is just a sign of a small minded person.

Anyways, this is off-topic and petty bullshit so I'll cut it out now.

Edit:

I understand your point, I simply dont agree with you.

Ha, I thought the exact same thing.

guess there's not a lot going on seeing as everyone appears to be going so in depth into each others postings that pages are wasted ......

Take it outside please lads.

Moutinho would be an immense signing and would probably mean we could play AVB's 433 formation with Sandra sitting and moussa going box 2 box.

Holtby has only recently switched to a cm role so although cheaper isn't as good in that position.

Doubt so! She's now with QPR

Would see both Moutinho and Dembele doing the box to box bit (albeit not at the same time obviously). Will cause an immense headache for opposition teams to mark our players then:

Demebele - can push forward and glide past a player at a moment notice
Moutinho - can push forward too
Sandro - shit even Sandro can make an effective bursting run as seen a few times against reading
Lennon - obviously can beat any player he wants
Bale - enough said really, we all know how much of a threat he is
Ade - if we play him as the lone striker he happily drifts all over the pitch to good effect

With those players in the team and our attacking fullbacks and even Vert in CB who'll get forward occasionally, i'm just not sure as an opposition team how you go about marking our players.

Obviously man marking can't work effectively without keeping 10 men behind the ball and zonal marking would be suicide.

I'd pretty much trust Stobart, he's got a good Spurs record.
