The Original OTIB

Wonder how Ole will make this one.

Eye closer if fists involved. England games at Wembley in those days and in 80's very North v South. Leeds and Chelsea often at it even in the ground.

Yes, but not as bad as the ubiquitous infestation of "like" in common parlance.

No, that would be Chelsea.

Need to go to a back 10.

See Huge Gap thread

Odds on 10?

Colin will pipe up wanting the job if a vacancy arises soon. Not his league though, in his words.

Blades given up, could get very ugly

Apparently, you can solve everything with money ...

True but works his nuts off.

Peter "Gooner" Drury doing best to stay calm. Edit: could be wrong, thought he was an Arsenal fan.

The thing I notice about Spurs now under Ange P is that they do the basics very well. Move the ball quickly as well.

Arsenal score a lot of late goals. Hope not today, Arteta really annoying on the touchline.

Love 'em or hate 'em, Aussies don't blow smoke up yer ass, as the saying goes.

Ref been poor, should have booked White earlier. Johnson not great for Spurs. Good game though so far. Handball rule needs fixing. AGAIN! Too vague and inconsisently applied.

Blasphemer!

I didn't say all of it though did I so why infer that I did? Indeed, I did not even mention it. My point is and remains about spending so often being seen as the answer. Just as sacking the manager so often seen as the answer. There's so much more to it. Very often neither makes a difference. We have done both in recent history. I believe in what we are doing now, however randomly or otherwise we got here. Feel free to come back but that is me done on this one here.

I think some on here are. As I said, won't be happening anyway, bar a sell on windfall in January (and then not big really). That could happen I suppose, Kelly to Spurs perhaps.

You are confusing comparison with example. I'll leave it there. Moot anyway as we won't be spending big anytime soon.

Confused. All I am saying is that spending money is not aways the answer. Building over time lays much more solid foundations. Not making comparisons so no idea where you draw that inference.

Had old man cardy on today, be a pipe as well next time!

Meow.

So sayeth Nige.
