Don Tottenham

I wouldn't normally do this but as Don has closed his article to comments I feel I have no choice.

I seem to have upset him by behaving in exactly the same way as he does. I don't mind wumming, I can get involved or choose to ignore but double standards and not allowing the right to reply, that's cowardly.

His last message before he closed his article for comments was:

It's also a very good tactic when you really have nothing to comeback with.

There we go it’s you then. “ you won nothing in the 80s", so clearly way off base there son. Come back when you actually get it correct in an argument. Fact of matter is, you’re tin pot club are nothing without Abramovich. Thank you’re lucky stars he bankrolled you into a success. You are just lucky, not anything fantastic. Could have happened to anybody.

The double standards are clear, I was being disrespectful at least in writing off Tottenhams limited success at the start of the 80s when I pointed out we'd still won more than them between then and Roman taking over. Yet he thinks its okay to dismiss us as a tinpot club. Its his right to dismiss us as much as it is anyone's right to dismiss his club or their achievements if they so wish. Our views do not change records or history.

Poor Don, poor, especially as his article related to Tottenhams very poor record at the bridge which began long before Roman arrived.

I gave engaging with Wum’s years ago. Just filter him too if you don’t like it.

Best advice for this site and life in general. There are several parables to illustrate this. Donkey and Rabbit fiercely argue about the colour of grass. Donkey says grass is blue, Rabbit says green. They go to the wise Lion to arbitrate... who proclaims that Donkey is correct, grass is indeed blue. Rabbit stays behind to question the wise Lion who tells him, I did it for you ...to stop wasting your time and energy trying to convince donkeys who are fixed in their opinions despite any evidence provided . No need to try educate such a creature. Best avoid discussions with him in future.

The one where you wanted to measure how hard scousers would laugh at you?

It’s not closed to comments, he’s just filtered you meaning you can’t post on his articles. Also means he won’t see this article of yours as you’re now invisible to him.

This argument, which isn't strictly true anyway (but won't get into that now), from a Tottenham fan is just stupid.

It could've been Tottenham. Abramovich looked at them first, but considering the area looked "worse than parts of Siberia" he CHOSE to buy us instead

He meant Scousers in the losest possible meaning of the word - more like Norwegians, those funny people with webbed fingers from Norfolk and Cornishmen who enjoy supporting a big and successful club!

Naaah. It was a social experiment to see if you would bite, and you did. Too easy.
