Player Watch Player Watch: James Maddison

[McFlash]

I don’t really see why what I think of Maddison personally really matters TBH?

Er, probably because you brought it up in here?
If it doesn't matter, why bother saying it at all?

 

[fletch82]

You can't blame him for other peoples actions. That's a bit of a reach.

As for the twitter quotes, he was 16. 16 year old are idiots.


You've formed an opinion, based on 2 incidents? You don't know him, and seem quick to judge.

As a parent of a 16 Yr old lad who has just finished his gcse,s I find this comment to be




Absolutely spot on mate complete knobbers the lot of them .

Take away her shoes until she gets another one
And put price tags on all the food and biscuits chocolate etc in the house.
Leave a list of all the shitty jobs for her to do daily or no dinner.
I might be being a tad harsh

“this guy is a terrible person and might be the devil reincarnated”

“actually he’s not, and here’s why…”

“who actually cares anyway? why does this matter?”

self owns are the best type of owns

Honestly can’t fucking stand Leicester A story that should feel romantic with what they achieved in the period but one I hate them for and not just because it was at our expense.

Their fans really are so entitled and genuinely think they’re a massive club and think they have the right to belittle Tottenham.

I work with 2 Leicester fans and have enjoyed every second of this transfer. Fuck that club I hope they continue to drop down the football pyramid

People forget the controversy before with the guys in Thailand and the incident with Vardy in the casino making racist comments to some guy etc…

I’m pleased they went down. The year they won they got soft pens all over the place and they had head of FA saying how great it would be for them to win it etc.

Yep. They genuinely believe they have won more. As soon as their owners stopped bankrolling them, they've gone back to where they belong.

Yeah exactly. This along with the talk of them replacing us in the “big 6”. Won a couple of cups (the league title being dodgy and happened in probably the lowest standard in PL history) which I’ll admit I am very envious of, but it takes much more than that. Just be happy with what you’ve won and stop trying to flex muscles you don’t have. Horrible club, twatty fans. Glad we stole their star man

Might be difficult to get a job if she turns up at the interview without shoes.

Name me one club in the last 10-20 years who have won a league without money? We all complain about Levy’s lack of investing. If yout not bankrolled you simply don’t have a chance. Also do you not see the irony in saying *they* like every Fox’s fan is the same, without even knowing them all? The very same thing you had a go at me for doing? Tribal horseshit mate.

 

[Bulletspur]

It's not that i'm shallow...

But I have never liked Maddison, seemed cocky and has a slapable face, but after the first interview he may be the best person ever.

I share these sentiments and actually said so almost word for word sometime ago when he was playing for Leicester, but, ........ he is one of ours now so all is forgiven

Well obviously she can have them back for work related activities
Everything else pfft

and that’s only if she’s wearing ankle tracking band

Their owners were spending massively outside of their means, over 100% of turnover on wages. That's pure financial doping and isn't what other clubs were doing at all.

Petty and spiteful.

I approve!

I love the way this gets brought up, what real difference is there? Your paying to win, simple. Why is it more *honourable* to win cause you have more income? If that were the case the same teams will win more often cause they are established longer… I simply don’t get it. FFP or what vet the new face of it is will never, ever work.

There is genuinely something quite special about Maddison's reaction to joining us and how big a step up he clearly thinks it is.

Must be mind-blowing for the many Leicester fans that thought they were the bigger club. Maddison won the FA Cup with them.

Newcastle and Villa (admittedly a sleeping giant) fans could do with a similar level of humbling as they are getting carried away this summer.

Despite all the near misses we did undoubtedly raise our profile and standing in the game in the last decade or so. The incredible facilities help but its also the many quality players that have come through the club in that time. From Modric and Bale through Eriksen, Kane and Son, all starring in that white shirt and sticking in people's memories.

I just hope Ange can build a team capable of winning things. He'll have more resources than Poch ever did.

It's not about being "honourable" it's about not bankrupting a club that is a part of the community and has existed for over a hundred years. If the owner dies (like Leicester's did) the club could become insolvent (could happen still if they don't get their house in order).

The owner pumping huge amounts of money into a club for a pure financial advantage should not be allowed and is financial doping.

It’s clear over the last decade there is simply nothing that can be done to stop it, even this talk of a spending cap, none of it is feasible. To many loopholes and no way to monitor it all. There will be no level playing field, football is no longer a sport it’s simply a business. My god, Man City have been found to have over 100 breaches of FFP and nothing has happened or will happen. City is too important to the FA.

I guess the question is, would you be happy supporting Spurs for a lifetime, winning nothing but staying in the top flight? Or would you take 1 or 2 league titles, dropping down and going up once or twice? It’s an interesting question and deserves thinking about.
