We had an offer of 10m for dos santos during the window!

13 with add ons! kinda strange he would refuse to go to udinese.

gazza bazza's a hard one to figure out, like i believe joey barton when he says he's a teacher's pet but he might well just be a lads ringleader on the sly

The north Londoners were made the amazing offer for the Mexican misfit by Udinese during the summer. The Serie A side were flush after selling winger Alexis Sanchez to Barcelona for £24million.

Dos Santos, however, ended up scuppering the deal.

Redknapp said: “Gio wanted to move. But we couldn’t let him go. We had a £13m offer from Udinese for him.

“It was £10million down and £3m do-able bonuses. A big sell-on. He wouldn’t go. He wanted to go to Seville who were offering 3million Euros. You can’t blame the chairman for not letting him go.”

Barry's a boring fucker. Don't think there's much to him.

Re: Dos Santos, I presume the clubbing scene in Udine isn't a patch on London?

i suppose arry would know about do-able bonuses

i thought he flew to barcelona from london for his clubbing already

Maybe there's no direct route from Udine?

the cunt can't find his way from lw to the opposition goal, let's not overtask him

I was going to be fair-minded and say something about him knowing he can play in La Liga, but I suspect my first instinct is correct and he's just a lazy arse.

Speaking of which, it took a Graun article at the weekend to remind me that Wayne Bridge is still at Man City.

the article that informed us good readers that a) wayne bridge is being paid appx £20m by manchester city and b) he is schtupping thebig_sam fave frankie 'teardrop' sandford

and c) that he isn't in Man City's 25 man Prem squad. Except he is.

two completely unrelated pieces of info, there

Why have City named him in the squad tbh?

for the record i love scott parker and his hair.

counts as 'home grown' iirc
xp

I liked the tidbit about him having played an entire season in the Premiership without a single cross connecting with a team-mate.

oh yeah meant to say, i think parker's great.

Has provided a credible alternative to modric, will be interesting to see how that plays out. Only saw brief highlights, how was the prodigal son at the weekend.

Played pretty well, one amazing pass out to BAE bombing forward. He must look at pictures of Raul Mereiles and weep.

harry seemed to suggest that sandro and parker would play in the middle and that modric "can play elsewhere"

modric was great on the left tbf

does arry still come out with his "i think bale will be a top class left back" cobblers every so often?

horrible thought. Fine as an option where we're really battering an entrenched opposition, but there again it's not like bae can't play a bit.

Gareth Bale:

end of last season, arry was talking up danny rose as a potential top left back. bale is still listed as a defender on the spurs website.

HELLO football fans! can u help?

i am trying to sub this piece but fact-checking is proving something of a trial. is it accurate to say tottenham hotspur has won "17 major trophies"? that doesn't jive with anything i'm counting on wikipedia but i don't know what yall consider a "major trophy" (and neither does anyone else on this desk lol)

i wish, lex

if not 17 how many?

in our entire history, it's possible. If the statement's in that context i guess it might be correct, though it would be a strange context.

also i guess...since when? i *think* he's talking about, like, in their whole history of existence

ha xp - what would be a sensible context/timeframe?

FIRST TEAM
Football League Champions 1950-51, 1960-61
F.A.Cup Winners 1900-01, 1920-21, 1960-61, 1961-62, 1966-67, 1980-81, 1981-82, 1990-91
Football League Cup Winners 1970-71, 1972-73, 1998-99, 2007-08
European Cup-Winners Cup Winners 1962-63
UEFA Cup Winners 1971-72, 1983-84

=17

I'd change "has" to "have" though...

in the context of the piece it's basically saying "stop moaning about your team that's won so much compared to lower league teams that haven't won shit"

excellent! thx onimo. and that's 17 in their whole history yeah?

probably 12, on a quick count on that wiki page. Leaving out 2nd division and charity shields/league cups/anglo italian league cup

league cups were major trophies for most of history deems, dismissing them as mickey mouse cups is a fairly recent phenomenon

oh i see where i was getting confused - 1950-51 = ONE trophy right? rather the winning it in 1950 and then again in 1951?

13, i'd say, sorry

In that context- i'd probably say 'frequent qualification for european competition and a number of league cups' is more relevant, lex

*rather than

Lex subbing a piece about football ... The original writer will be surprised to see the par in the middle about how football grounds should be torn up and moved away from houses, because once a fortnight Lex finds it inconvenient coming home c5pm.

recent history, like

Point taken onimo, i'd argue that any league cup after leicester is a 'small trophy' tho

yes Lex that's entire history and ignoring minor trophies and invitation tournaments and things

1950-51 = ONE trophy right?

yes, as seasons span years (August to May, typically)

imma go with 17 sorry darragh, it's what the writer (who presumably does know what he's talking about) put + backed up by onimo and a concrete set of stats

ithappens i have now moved away! driven from house and home by the marauding forces of football fans :(

np lex, it's a debatable point but in context yeah, not many teams win the league cup i suppose

Feel like reviving the TOTTENHAM ARE A BIG CLUB thread now

Lex subbing a piece about football ...

coming soon: Lex's Comedy Store reviews

league cups were major trophies for most of history deems, dismissing them as mickey mouse cups is a fairly recent phenomenon

this is totes happening in women's tennis right now btw

Lex spends a year on the road with Animal Collective

i had to sub some comedy pieces last week too, basically i don't miss opportunities to make any harsh adjectives i see a bit harsher

lol

league cup is a 'major trophy'

that is what the phrase means, whether or not deems thinks x trophy is valid cuz manchester united had it handed to them via masonic conspiracy
