meeesh said:that it was ever gonna happen this windowColinLee said:The fact that it didn't happen (this window at least) doesn't make mean it's bollocks though, it just means it didn't come off (presuming we did enquire).meeesh said:I ain't got involved in any slagging off,(for a change).but this is what TH does and generally says every summer,every transfer window
The one issue I smirked at however was the Barkley so called transfer,I did at the time think what a load of bollocks,again my thinking bollocks proved to be true,ITK or not some of his "inside info" is and always will cause fall outs and arguments on here,so making a rod for his own back is always gonna happen,
I can't slate him for keeping the forum active during the close season,and I hope Bluemoon pay him well,but lets be honest there is some shite said,maybe it is because I can never work out any of the song cryptic clues,as I say he keeps the forum active
This window.....try next four years now on the Barkley transfer,as I said it's bollocks that it was ever gonna happen this window
Lets hope it continues with Villa buying Scott Sinclair for £4m as rumoured..Rammyblues said:No it doesn't maybe a name change and so the exodus begins, Rodwell to Sunnerland is a good start.
Rammyblues said:And Guidetti to Southampton for 8m. (Bargain for the Saints there).
It was rumoured on BlueMoon, sorry not got the link.sam-caddick said:Rammyblues said:And Guidetti to Southampton for 8m. (Bargain for the Saints there).
Where did you hear that?

Whether he is a well connected and informed person or not matters less than the way YOU take what is posted and how you react to it.
If you feel the need to vent on here about it or try to 'spoil' the enjoyment that others have on such threads I would think that it is YOU that has an issue with managing your emotions and perhaps you need to reevaluate your relationship with the internet.
Now of course you can now flame me and abuse me and try to get the last word in on this matter but I would again suggest that it shows that YOU have an issue and nobody else.
Many young posters on here keen to have news on the club they support. TH has built up his own importance and cult status very deliberately. It is clear to me he has some knowledge but not inside club knowledge, probably media knowledge (e.g. making an announcement very shortly before sky video released confirming effectively what he said). Mangala EVERYONE knew about. Perhaps it would be better if TH evaluated his relationship with the internet and his need for attention at the expense of young or less astute fans. All fine to call it 'entertainment' but it is a transfer forum and no one would be interested UNLESS they had belief the information and the source of the information had some inside knowledge.

Plenty seem to have nothing better to do than discuss my mental make-up, vices and negative impact on the wider internet, in general, judging by the number of pages these last few days?
I do feel it is best, however, that I don't instigate one of these threads, in future, just post as and where I feel it might be relevant or of interest?
It would reduce the amount of in-fighting, and not be a one-stop shop for putting myself out there, and all that may entail, good and bad.
Faceless internet or not, it is sometimes taken to heart, but that's just the guy I am. Can't change that and perhaps it is because I do have faith in what I am posting that it becomes a little personal for me.
Lampard's signing should perhaps be a decent illustration of just how quickly things can move in this game, even if Soriano had stated there would be no more after Mangala?
cheers for now.
fuck em tolm.
luckily the bell ends are well outnumbered.
have a good time.
I have not seen any 'bell ends' just people quite rightly in my opinion expressing doubts over the validity of the information posted and the manner in which it is posted. Why this is considered an attack upon the poster is beyond me. For a moderator to use such an intolerant phrase and adopt such an intolerant attitude, one has to wonder why TH is being so protected from any form of doubt.
Are we not allowed to point out that in our opinion much of the information posted has been common knowledge, freely available and the rest 'the spectacular stuff' (Barkley, Isco, etc) appears to have little or no substance. Are we not right to caution 'read with scepticism' and time and time again the information has proved unreliable, without a witch hunt being started. Are only believers allow to post and comment, seemingly supported by site Moderator(s)? Some of THs claims of 'success' are at best dubious.
You only have to read this thread for a short while to find some cringe worthy fawning posts to see how 'bought in' some people are and how disappointed they are when the biggy predicted does not happen.
Perhaps TH should only post more solid info in future, deals that are near done and not fledgling speculative deals barely at inception. I have no clue who TH is but it does seem to me he gets far more wrong than right. Perhaps it is all about keeping figures up on Bluemoon for advertising revenues, who knows.
No doubt I will get a bollocking for this but if you cannot stand free speech, deal with it.
