:lamelashock:Lamela is as disappointing as my son.
Wasn't aimed at Sammy. It was aimed at all those who wallow in the failure of Spurs.Why can't someone who was bashed for years because of their opinion get a straight up: "Yes I was wrong" without any "yeah but it's the way you post" responses?
Is lack of humility on both sides a good thing? I mean you admit you were wrong and still have a dig at the people who were right?
I was wrong about Lamela. I thought given a free role he would play better. Poch gave him a central free role behind the striker (finally) and he was a ghost and a liability.
Sammy needs way more respect than he gets. No need to put the boot in when his opinions on Poch, Lamela or Lev etc seem to be panning out.
You can't act holier than though because you have been VERY vocal about how stupid he has been. So don't double up on the disrespect.
You've gone back and forth for years on it, and now it's panned out it's not worth discussing or admiring reality because it does not paint a rosy rattle waving picture?
Misery and failure is a huge part of supporting.
basketball, football, american football.. Over here, we refer to any group of random strangers playing sports together as 'pick-up.' So, I was talking about football but it is applicable to all of the above.

Those that give Lamela shit, in general, are the same that do it for many, many others.
And I stand wholeheartedly by what I said, I would rather give someone to much faith than too little.
Same arses wanted Bale out during his barren run no doubt.
Why do you wholeheartedly bash people who are right? Isn't that ignorant? Isn't grudgingly telling someone they are right with no caveat the grown up thing to do?
You can say that about any argument. You can change the player and circumstance and then paint yourself to be less wrong because there was a chance that x player can end up being THE MOST EXPENSIVE PLAYER IN HISTORY.
Again that is the opposite of what could happen. Bale is literally one a few billion. What are the chances that all scenarios can end up as a record breaking expensive player? The OPPOSITE is true. There are 1000's of clubs in the world, and specifically one player was the most expensive and it happened to come from us. Using Bale as an example is probably the lowest blow you can reach for. Also claiming people said the same about Bale is reaching. You don't know what individuals were posting abut him 7 years ago. You are looking to create villains out of thin air.

Lol come off it. The reason you and Sammy get along is because you bond over your roles of being disliked/thought of as idiots by so many posters despite having little in common other than being anti-Poch (Sammy because he wants a return to the good ole days of 442 and cockney managers, and you because you want an NFL team). For example I notice when you tear into Lennon, the biggest defender of Lennon - Sammy -goes quiet.. hmm wonder why. #Alliance
& you're wrong about most things mate but we'll never have solid proof because no manager would be so daft as to field the sort of lineups you post.
I understand what you are saying regarding supporters being critical of a certain player, however I don't always think it is cynical to slate a player. In the end I will support any Tottenham player once they get on the pitch.Wasn't aimed at Sammy. It was aimed at all those who wallow in the failure of Spurs.

Read that in another link on FB,so maybe some truth in it. Here's hopingSomething called forzaitalianfootball.com are reporting we have agreed a loan with Juventus.

fucking loan deals-SELL these useless players ffs.
I was completely wrong about Lamela and backed him to the hilt for two years, hes a headless chicken, gives away free after free and has scored TWO in the league.
Get rid ASAP, I dont care if he 'comes good' when hes 25, if every player we buy for ridiculous money takes 3/4 years to start playing we may as well give up.

So if you and a friend go to your local park with a ball to kick around and you see 4 guys playing already on the field you wouldn't go and ask if you can join them?That is relatively rare in the UK. We tend to keep in our own little bubbles. If someone starts talking to you on the train or in the park, the first response is usually "who is this weirdo?".

I am familiar with Chavs (and not just Chelski supporters). Is it only Chav kids that kick around the ball at the local park?Nope. You are not familiar with Chavs. haha
Remember that group could have Gooners, West Ham or Chav Chavs.

Or are you telling me that you wouldn't play a pick up game with people if they supported a different team than you?
