Me and my mate a few years back we're bored and watched an episode we slow-moed the 3-2-1 bit...the helmet doesn't do it right. He cheats, the number of times I tried to do it as a kid...

You wanna get out more.

"American investment company Cain Hoy has said it is no longer considering making an offer to buy Tottenham."

Absolutely definitely because they plan to buy Villa instead and allocate £1bn for transfer targets and stadium development. In a fact I just made up in my own ITK head.

American firm not buying Spurs for £1 bn is a non-news story. Mutant, pink badgers from Yemen not buying Spurs for socks is equally true.

Tbar have probably beat you to it.

If that's true it's quite surprising.

That piece is what S J Perelman the Marx Brothers script writer called "spinning some merchandisable threads".

£100m would be an absolute steal for avfc.

I'm really pleased that my plan of not showing my interest in buying us too early is slowly paying off. At this rate in about six months time I'll be able to pick the club up for the cost of my weekly pension.
And when I finalise the deal my first act as custodian of the club will be to reappoint the much maligned Ads as our manager. He was never given a fair crack of the whip first time round and I believe that with my financial clout behind him he will be able to take this club on an exciting journey.

Do you have a letter from Sir Alex recommending him?
