I agree

But with the newcomers, I sense a real increase in mental toughness in our team.

Your sig...

Anyhoo. Been a great day. Even if Bale goes, I'm long past giving the tiniest fuck.

 

[felmani26]

Haha and Bayern win!

What.A.Day.

 

[topper]

Night just gets better and better!

 

[chinaman]

Night just gets better and better!

You mean RM has decided to pull out of the deal?

 

[lemony snickets]

I am still not 100% confident. Is quite a good pre-match team talk for Whinger to make re: How much we have spent.

We are much much stronger than them, but........

Best chance we've ever had if you ask me, we are the new king-dinga-lings premiership

 

[daveduvet]

Doh is NOT a negative rating, chill out!

Couldn't resist
Doh

 

[Mr Pink]

Incredible day!

 

[alwaysaspurs]

Chelsea losing has just topped off a wonderful day.

 

[spurs4life1]

Day just got better - chelski lost ! hehe

 

[jamie b]

I agree

But with the newcomers, I sense a real increase in mental toughness in our team.

Winner for me and better than Sibs so far .

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Then why do it.

Crazy mofo

Meh, you call it crazy, I call it "being bewildered due to excessive stroking of my special purpose". Don't blame me, blame that tight bastard Daniel Levy

 

[sligospur]

Yeah what a great day lets hope for another one on Sunday.

 

[Makkaveli101]

Chelscum losing on penalties is Karma! I cheered like Spurs had scored! What end to an amazing day! The icing on the cake! I have a feeling this is just the beginning of a great weekend, Sunday is going to a good day!

 

[NeverRed]

BSODL assemble!

the magnificent 7.... 8, 9 ??? Onions ladies, just onions

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Doh is NOT a negative rating, chill out!

.. I wasn't 'un-chilled'. I even explained myself (this time). It was a bloody good point. To end our spending with a possible profit would be truly unbelievable

 

[thinktank]

OK, what shall I drink next....

 

[Gedson100]

I used to think Arnesen and Comolli were quality directors of football, and yep, they did some good things but fuck me, Baldini has shown the way this summer.

A lot of credit must go to him

 

[RButch]

One thing that has pissed me off with all these signings.. Who the F**K am I meant to buy on Football Manager now. Christ. Cheers Levy, AVB, Baldini for ruining FM14 for me.

 

[portogirl]

the magnificent 7.... 8, 9 ??? Onions ladies, just onions

ironic that we have completed the Magnificent 7 on the day we are drawn against FC Sheriff

 

[Parkie]

Keeerist!

I'm just finished putting the final touches to the last "give Rob your cash" post and thinking two signings is a pretty good day and then a blimmin' Scandiwegian arrives in the last post!

So, back to it to trawl the pledge thread and see who mentioned Christian "Villa" Eriksen in their pledges.

Oh, and, please remember that there is still time left in the crazy window where Levy found the wheelbarrow (it was behind the war-chest after all) and gave it to Kevin Keegan's illegitimate brother and sent him off round Europe with a wish list made up of Liverpool's targets ( ) and pure fantasy...
You too could end up listed below in the glorious roll of honour if your picks come in (let's face it - name a player you want in a Spurs shirt - the odds are we will sign them!).

So, tonight's rollover winners are:

Parkie - Any other "big name" (that I like): £10 - I like Eriksen

Mr Pink - Erikson £20.00

Revo - Other first team players £5 each

Whitechina - Erikson £5

Lillywhites61 - Any attacking midfielder £10

Syn_13 - Creative attacking mid/wide forward/winger - £5

Indacupfortottenham - Erikson £5

MonkeyBastardHands - Each other "household name" signing - £10
(This even comes up on Autocorrect now!)

GBSpurs - £10m -£15m = £10 (£11.5m apparently)

Joshua shepherd - Eriksen - £10

Davids_5 - £10 for a creative midfield player

Ian Kane - Sign anyone - £5 (per signing)

StupidLikeAFox - And £1 for every million spent (another £11.50!)

Bus-Conductor - Eriksen 50

Bruts - Every signing over £10 million - £5

N17Jack - Erickson, sorry about the spelling, £20

Reece - please let me know if this joke is getting old!
I'll give a tenner for each player we sign who has Villa somewhere in their name in addition to a tenner per player who is signed from a club that has likewise - until Feb 1st.
See second sentence of this post!

MilkyBarYid - we've finally signed someone who hasn't cost you money!

Guilty party - £10m -£15m = £10
(did I miss you off the previous roundup? If so, sorry!)

Sweech - Eriksen - $20 (Canadian)

Garymcl - Erickson - £50 (it's not your night is it?! - or is it the night of your life?!)

PhezTHFC - £10 Another full international

Thanks!
Think about it - this list alone is £261.50 (plus whatever $20 works out at) - the servers cost £390 per month so we are almost there without random generosity that just comes out of the blue as well...

That is a hint.

In fact, Garymcl has bought two weeks of access for you lot in one day today! That's about 600 people who can spaff themselves blind (mass)debating the merits of AVB's beard dye for a fortnight due to one simple pledge.

In the words of Bob Geldof: "Give us yer feckin money!"
