Good man yourself mate. All the very best xGlory hunter.
joke, joke. Enjoy the red,
Its all about money though these days and that's where we have lost sight of the concept of club loyalty!how many of our first squad members do u really believe arent in it for the £££?
Mrs P is on holiday. I know this because she asked me to look after her cats.Its all about money though these days and that's where we have lost sight of the concept of club loyalty!
I am sure that someone like Mrs Perryman could give a more concise explanation of Spurs loyalty!
Agreed entirely!Fair enough. I think if you are the richest club it diminishes the achievement - you expect to win. With 2 titles in our history that is not us.
This probably got cracked on COYS already, but it's a clumsy amalgam of Latin and Greek. "Niger" = shining black in Latin and "Petra" (πέτρα) = rock in Greek.I haven't been able to crack the 'Niger Petra' code (African Jordanians? River Rose? :shrug: ), so I'm handing this one over the COYS brains trust.
In a nutshell - staying true through all the ups and downs,especially the downs - like any relationship that's worth having.Its all about money though these days and that's where we have lost sight of the concept of club loyalty!

Blackrock Investments YanksShining black rock ey? Some big black man? Or have I taken it too literally... Black as in oil tycoon?
Well done Mrs P. The voice of reason. As usual xIn a nutshell - staying true through all the ups and downs,especially the downs - like any relationship that's worth having.
my guess would be that we would sell out pretty much every away Prem game, as well as home games of course.
There is the option to win without buying it. It just takes a lot more work.i agree. but theres 2 options. buy it or dont.
there is no 3rd glorious option.
We haven't been spending enough to buy the title. Buying a title would require doubling the wage spend from where it is now.If anyone thinks we've not been buying our way to success in comparison to the other 80 odd clubs that finish below us every season, they need help.
We are already owned by a billionaire. We spend tens of millions on single players. Just because we are utter fucking shite at buying our way to the title, doesn't mean we've not been trying.
i wish i could believe u. i cant see a team like us winning the premiership anytime soon.There is the option to win without buying it. It just takes a lot more work.

Precisely why I said we've been shite at doing it.We haven't been spending enough to buy the title. Buying a title would require doubling the wage spend from where it is now.
The next Spurs team that wins the championship will be elevated to a different level to those Chavs, United and City players who are part time bench warmers, who are only in it for the money. When they leave do you think their fans give a fuck? too spoil t, expectations been artificially elevated
And those Spurs players that have been loyal will be a part of a special history that will be viewed as the ultimate achievement by the very patient and loyal Spurs fans.
It's the only way. We just have to build a young, ambitious squad who grow into title winners. If Borussia Dortmund can do it, so can we.what about the option of winning it with hard work?
