Spurs (as an organisation and collectively, the supporters-base around the world) should slowly, then steadily increasing over the course of about 6 months, start using the word "soccer" instead of "football", but only when discussing any club, players or matter other than THFC.
I can see (at least) 3 BENEFITS to this.
1. BREVITY: 6 letters in "soccer" to 8 letters in "football".
2. CLARITY: as Admin can attest:
Typing "soccer" into the "Smilies"/Emoji prompt bar, offers one football emoji: .
Whereas typing "football" offers three different football emojis: .
3. THE LOLs: It would wind up + rattle the cages of supporters from the rest of the English football pyramid (who hate us/low-key hate us anyways) and, likely, idiots within our own.
That's not true, Conte started it:Understood. But he was being called Deki long before he came to Contes Tottenham
Just watched some sky montage of the best dribbled goals with his one in it (Burnley).Son's 'wonder goal' wasn't really THAT good. Truly awful defending and he just ran fast. Good composure for the finish though.
Awful player.I still think Benjamin Stambouli would have been a decent player for us if he was given a chance.
He came off a poor, injury-ridden season at Monaco, rehabilitated his image and fucked off first chance he got.I cant stand Klinsmann..
Yeah great striker, but could not wait to leave after one season and then gave it all the 'best club, close to my heart' rubbish to the media after he left. He loved his return more than the fans, fully fed his messiah complex.
A fraud and sugar was to kind using Klinsmanns shirt to was his car!
Klinsi is a charlatan, but he does care about the club.He came off a poor, injury-ridden season at Monaco, rehabilitated his image and fucked off first chance he got.
Whenever I point this out, I get a boatload of kisses because ‘he was a star and we don’t sign them under baldy.’
And a World-class player— but no more of a club legend than Richard Gough ever was.Klinsi is a charlatan, but he does care about the club.
We have too many players in this team being referred to by cutesy nicknames unrelated to their actual names. Deki, Cuti, Lolo, fuck outta here with that.
Klinsi is a charlatan, but he does care about the club.
Romero was given the nickname 'Cuti' as a youngster as he struggled to say 'Cristian'.As far as I know he came with it
Conte was right about at least one thing

At least Graham won something with us Gross nearly got us relegatedBrave. Very brave!
I think even Sugar admitted it was the wrong decision later on with GG.
Gross… funny bloke in many ways.
AVB felt like it could be the perfect fit for a bit, but his track record and reputation are pretty damning.
I guess you’ve met the brief superbly!
And when your ‘arms’ are untied and the shackles that bind you are broken but you still like you don’t care. What shall we think?If you field a team of 10 outfield players with 5 of them being defenders, and 2 DMs, you end up having 3 attackers trying to beat a whole team by themselves.
It's easy to look like you don't care or aren't trying when you have one arm tied behind your back.
