The other games today - 2009/10

[brummie]

When i left the stadium yesterday (after the second goal, close to tears, and choked to the point of being unable to f***ing speak), I had mentally written off the next seven days, and decided nothing at all would lift the gloom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wrong.

 

If anything it should piss you off more knowing you would have played Pompey had you actually won.

 

To be honest, mate, I wouldn't back us to beat Portsmouth and District Paper Boys XI at the moment, we're knackered, the manager keeps picking the exact same 11 knackered players every time, and whilst we might have a plan B, we never seem to see both Plan A and Plan B in the same season.

 

Yesterday was just a good old fashioned, English footballing dose of schadenfreude to take the edge of my own disappointment.

 

I could barely speak when I came out of Wembley on Saturday. I woke up yesterday and couldn't get out of bed, I was so gutted.

 

When I turned on your game just before the end and saw the score, knowing someone else was feeling just as bad (and probably worse) perked me up no end.

 

I'd have felt the same for any other team in our mini league (you know what I mean) going through that, it wasn't just about it being Spurs.

Very much enjoyed catching up on this thread. What an absolute mug KingDawson is. "God another tiresome jibe about me not going to the match " - there's a way you can avoid that, you cretin.

 

What's really frightening is he's not the most embarrassing Dawson that Spurs have in their ranks. That lad making it as a pro gives me hope. I wouldn't trust the thick cunt to scrape the fucking bins out.

 

nicely done.

Might have to hand the players an ultimatum. Give up their win bonus/final appearance fee or whatever, or don't play. I think most of the players would agree to it if it meant playing.

 

They have already agreed to not getting thier bonus apparently.

 

Not that it would matter.  Employee wages will rank lower than secured and most unsecured creditors, so even if they demanded payment, it is highly unlikely that they would recover all, if any, of what is owed.

Yeh i understand what you mean.

They are protected as 'football creditors'.

GG has posted during and after a game = nothing about him going to games.

 

The Everton lads have posted during and after a game = nothing about them going to games.

 

Ash has posted during and after a game = Nothing about him going to games.

 

 

Brummie has done the same thing also. All i ask for is exactly the same treatment as all the others get. This thread is title "The other games today" so no point getting hostile when i post about other games.

On what basis?  They would rank pari pasu with the unsecured creditors, surely?  In any event, the players giving up the bonuses is a nice, but ultimately empty gesture - much like me saying "You know what, Greg, I'll let *you* have Katy Perry.  I won't take her."

[Pilko]

Yeah but GG has a season ticket tho.

On the basis of the rules set out by The Football Association.

 

HMRC challenged it but lost in the Court of Appeal.

Soopafan, tbh.

[brummie]

So do I.

 

Not for Watford, mind

 

I can't get to all games, though (on account of football not being the most important thing in my life), so sometimes find myself watching home games on the internet and monging around on forums.

 

I don't like the whole "superfan" thing you find on football forums.

[Guest kingdawson]

Cool. Just know that it doesn't get to me when people say it. I'll continue not going to games this season, i'll continue to post on "the other games today" thread when i'm on the laptop (Don't care if it's 20 minutes into the game, 40 mins into the game or 5 minutes after).

[Delima]

Just so you know Kingdawson - there are silent readers who positively enjoy your presence / posts.

 

Your biggest crime is being a loud Spurs supporter on a Newcastle forum.

 

You are entitled to your football opinions, I might agree / I might disagree, but keep posting.

[Rich]

The Delima stamp of approval. Think that says it all to be honest KD mate.

Don't rise to the bait mush. You're on the whole a knowledgable poster and I for one wish we had more fans of opposition teams post here.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Why dont you go to games btw KD? Just curious.

[Neil]

What are your thoughts ahead of our game, brummie?

 

I would have strongly fancied us to go there and win, but we've had 2 poor results in our last 2 games which has taken a bit of momentum out. I think fitness could well come into it though, since we will have had 10 days off.

[Guest kingdawson]

I went to about 4 home games at the Lane last season, and went to 2 this season. I simply can't afford it. I love Spurs but i've got to prioritise on other things for now.

Just out of interest, what are the prices like for home fans.

 

I've always wanted to go to WHL, but I've found prices are akin to Chelsea's and nearer to the £50 mark, which I think it's daft considering you're not a 'big 4' team.

[Ronaldo]

High demand, small supply.

Everton will win. Aston Villa are knackered. And the partnership of Jagielka + Heitinga looks very good.

I paid between £43 -£65 the numerous times i've gone (2 occasions this season i was given a ticket).

Ridiculous prices really. I'm all for clubs saving a small section of the ground that should be kept cheap (ish) and made available match by match in the same way Dortmund and other German clubs do.

[Village Idiot]

If I end up going back to live Barcelona this year, going to watch Barça will ruin me. I usually pay €50 for shitty north end tickets (I like being near the away fans, though, nice banter), and I bet on another price hike.
