No probs Ben, perfectly reasonable point of view.
BTW, I liked that record in your avatar, I might even have bought it, certainly have it on my 'Glory Glory' CD.

They're the ones hardest hit by any arrangement sort of magically conjuring up a new stadium in situ overnight.
Not sure there is any way the fans can be appeased on the temporary accommodations issue.
What are the issues with Upton Park? That seems like an obvious solution to me.
It's been sold to property developers and will be demolished.
Our relationship with West Ham is terrible, by the by.
This is potentially the understatement of the year. We only torched their entire transfer window out of spite.
No shit sherlock.
If your refering to Ade that's pretty understandable, they at the time where close to us in the table and wanted to take our striker not just for free but wanted us to pay a good proportion of his wages as well so he could potentially score goals and threaten our league position, fuck that.
Paying anyone of our players to play for the Hammers and threaten us is a big NO NO.
Still funny despite our own Transfer window being terrible
How was it terrible? Poch had to start trimming the squad. Who would you have bought mate?
I think we pretty much torched their OS plans too.
Precisely, which is why Daniel did what he did. I think the pre-existing antipathy though meant he was going to do it in the most damaging way possible.
The shortsightedness knows no bounds, does it?
Having a bad relationship with West Ham has an element of 'it takes two', they are not liable to lend us any of their players that might improve our squad. Also if there is a deal to be struck to benefit of both sides in any transaction on the field or off, they'll do it, make no mistake had West Ham lodged a full transfer bid on Adebayor, Levy would have driven him there himself.
On the ground front there's no rationale that West Ham have to have any kind of relationship with Spurs as the Boleyn has been sold to Galliard already. Now if Levy wanted to charm Galliard for the 2016 season, can convince Newham Council and the police this is a good deal for the both of them is another matter.
MK is not great, it's far and it's not London based but I bet the deal for us is sweet and the tickets will still sell out. Logistically it makes more sense than moving within London because the police or local authority will have no hunger for it, the residents will object and therefore so will the police and politicians, MK is seemingly a little more open to the arrangement.
That said I am surprised a deal could not be struck with the likes of Charlton (27,111), Palace (26,200) or Fulham (25,700) as better local alternatives, though they are not exactly easy to get to....There's no perfect solution.
Missed opportunity, we should have bought it and turned it into public urinals.
Twickers would do ;
Swing low, sweet Tottenham
Coming for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet Tottenham
Coming for to carry me home.
I looked over London, and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home?
A band of Yids coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.
Chorus
Sometimes I'm up, and sometimes I'm down,
(Coming for to carry me home)
But still my soul feels Tottenham bound.
(Coming for to carry me home)
Chorus
The brightest day that I can say,
(Coming for to carry me home)
When Poch washed my sins away.
(Coming for to carry me home)
Chorus
If you get there before I do,
(Coming for to carry me home)
Tell all my friends I'm coming there too.
(Coming for to carry me home)
Swing low, sweet Tottenham
Coming for to carry me home,

Dude, the media would melt to pieces if we started singing old slave work songs.
The property development got refused planning - a football tenant potentially makes the scheme more financially viable imo.
Nah the egg chasers sing it - the UK is a weird place on stuff like this.....its only what people decide to be offended by that matters.
Rugby is considered to not be racist, despite only a handful of ethnic minorities playing for England and few attending games.
And is decidedly Middle class ,which helps.
