Saw both pages ages ago, second page and how it was closed off was patently not written by someone who knows how to write a business letter. I would guess high up football execs do know how to write letters.

is this where you saw the first, the daily fail? it was the first of 2 letters.

 

1. The 1st letter was to the Premier League from Arsenal, United, Liverpool and Spurs. It was revealed exclusively by Martin Samuel on 13/1/2013 in the long article in the open source link below. Samuel highlights the extreme cuntery particularly from the rags over FFP.

2. We haven't seen the 2nd letter which was from 9 Premier League clubs to CAS in 2020 but a summary of the document was leaked in advance of the CAS verdict and then substantiated in the in the CAS award document as per the extract already shown above.

Dunno, they don't seem to have explained their reasoning. Gateshead have put this out in response.

Ciao Rio,

As you know, many have tried interpreting Allegri.

Some cited existing philosophical works such as Bordiga, Hegel and Plato.

The former saw Allegri as the progenitor of a spontaneous revolution, his football being so boring it had deep ideological significance. They viewed his football as the cry of discontentedness with the neoliberal consensus, and a legitimate philosophical work in it’s own right.

The modern Hegelians saw Allegrismo as the dialectical synthesis between two states of being, that of anguish and that of ennui.

Those using the works of Plato are conflicted on whether to see Allegriball as a concrete object, real and tangible, while all consider the feelings the games elicit to be abstract.

Others saw it as post-modern performance art and tried to categorise it as the intended catalyst of a yet to materialise Neo-Fluxus movement.

Alas, others even ascribed it a theological value, arguing for the canonisation of Allegri and compared our pain watching to the pain our lord felt on the cross. A contingent of these worshippers split recently and alleged Allegri was inherently heretical, no mortal man had ever suffered like Jesus did until we watched the Sampdoria game.

The truth is, Allegriball defies what the human mind is capable of interpreting.

Do you suppose we can only bask in its majesty?

Spurs made £272 mill in commercial revenue last year. Pity Levy will only allow 1/4 of it to be spent on players 😆

There's a Bruno G thread in the transfer forum on bluemoon (there is a separate thread for most decent players we're linked with).

 

Saw this comment which is fairly common "Can’t help but think it’s absolutely ridiculous Newcastle may have to sell their better players when they are the richest club in world football. Just doesn’t sit right with me tbh"

 

so it's not just you guys who recognise how unfair you have it. I'm mostly hoping ffp keeps you at bay for a while, but would prefer to rival you guys than liverpool.

[wykikitoon 19941]

IF Bruno is to leave this transfer window, I want him to go abroad.

He’s just bought a house, he’s going nowhere but to Waitrose for his bait

[Guest MrRaspberryJam]

As if Liverpool are gonna lose out on their top two managerial targets to Bayer Leverkausen and West Ham. 

[Gemmill 44422]

Arne Slot the frontrunner for the Liverpool job apparently. Fucking PLEASE let this cunt be another Ten Hag. 

[wykikitoon 19941]

The irony being. We beat Leeds that night

I hope he didn’t buy Targett’s gaff, it’ll need a Crime Scene Cleaners company doing their stuff, the manky fucker. 

[Toonpack 9273]

Well now !!

Interviewed in the Stadium evidently and then arrested.

I’d bet my last pound someone on Ready to Groom has pointed the finger at our players with a quip like “Mag like behaviour”

Oooo are the Spuds fans not happy with Flange?

He has done a fantastic job there with a lot of players that aren’t his. The players he has brought in are doing well (Vicario, Van De Ven, Maddison)

 

I think the counter argument is that they are pretty one dimensional and/or don’t have a plan B. This was massively highlighted by Howe, who did a tactical job on him.

A couple of those youtubers were having a go at Son - maybe because they don't like him playing centrally - but I'd certainly have him for us if they don't want him.

I reckon playing with just 9 players will cost them over the course of the match 

[Gemmill 44422]

I think he's been found out. You can play that high line in the SPL because of the relative quality of Celtic vs the rest of the league. You just can't do it in a stronger league - even Man City would lose too many games to win the league if he tried it with their squad. 

 

Looked mint when he first turned up, and he was a breath of fresh air in terms of interviews etc. 

 

But I think they're in for a much tougher season next time out. Which is great news for us.
