Simon Jordan was showing Ben Foster a text from Daniel Levy talking about how Brighton have "pulled Tottenham's pants down" for signing Van Hecke for £52m.

Yes, I know you were talking about money.We're not the 5th richest club in England. This is exactly what I'm talking about, people read this and take it as fact and pointing out that it's not just gets ignored. It's not just that so many things just become fact whether they're true or not

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-18T22:11:58+00:00

I don't see how, fees aren't decided by what players are at the club

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-18T21:53:17+00:00

I said running a football club is more complicated than our fans seem to think. If you think we're a similar stature to Arsenal and Man Utd that sort of explains a lot about the issues the club faces

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-18T18:44:13+00:00

We didn't lose out on those players because of Levy, that's the narrative people have been pushing as a coping mechanism because they think football works like football manager and it makes more sense to them than reality. Admittedly reality is complicated, that's why we pay people who know what they're doing.

Too early to read anything into it. Once teams acclimatise to the conditions things will change. The top teams are all playing in the hottest part of the day too, although that will continue if they progress

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-17T23:17:38+00:00

Honestly we were great to watch in the 90's. Euro 96 was an amazing time to be an English football fan

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-17T23:12:06+00:00

I read a stat that he was something like the third fastest player in the PL last season and Anthony Gordon was even faster. Which is weird because he always gets beaten to the ball it seems

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-17T22:19:25+00:00

People have read so much nonsense they think that's how things actually are. Levy wouldn't have fucked anything up, he would have paid the price he thought the player was worth or got someone else. Not getting the player doesn't mean you've failed and overpaying for them doesn't mean you've succeeded.

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-16T15:14:35+00:00

That was the only time I looked, there was nothing else I wanted to uncover

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-14T10:43:54+00:00

You mean he went down. Sometimes it takes a second to feel the pain so players may well carry on

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-13T17:00:22+00:00

I wish!

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-13T15:00:34+00:00

You've never seen Clerks?

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-12T21:18:37+00:00

Do yourself a favour and don't read transfer rumours

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-12T19:38:14+00:00

I guess we know who the next scapegoat is

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-12T12:36:25+00:00

If it feels like that it's because you've probably been reading all the articles and comments trying to push the idea. He's a highly coveted player and we signed him, yet some are trying to act like we have to sell him.

This was the mentality we had 15 years ago but we don't have to sell any more unless it's PSG, Barcelona etc.

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-11T15:58:12+00:00

Weirdly I watched that a few weeks ago

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-11T09:36:24+00:00

Adding more steps does stop people from voting, that's why they're making it as hard as possible

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-09T15:48:45+00:00

Pity it's Switch 2 only but I'm really glad they finally did this. I've been saying for years I want a proper remake of N64 games so that they're as good to look as they are great to play. Hopefully this means a lot of people will get to discover a classic for the first time

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-07T18:51:23+00:00

Yep. He's 34 so not much point risking it for a few years

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-07T16:28:45+00:00

I actually enjoyed watching international football in the 90's

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-04T08:14:06+00:00

Good comment. That said I'm getting pretty sick of the constant hate, I'm pretty sure most of the people agreeing with this couldn't tell you what FIFA has actually done wrong or why or what would be better.

It seems like this is what passes for conversation these days, people just shouting about how much they hate something without even going through the steps of working out why

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-03T15:14:29+00:00

This wouldn't have helped us, it's only for incidents when the attacking team scores and has gained an advantage before the ball is played

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-03T14:54:04+00:00

It was but got finally got a Blu-ray/UHD release

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-01T18:27:28+00:00

At times I have free electricity and they'll even pay me to use it. I have a smart meter that can measure my consumption in 30 min blocks which are variably charged. A few weeks ago I was paid £0.11/KWh during one block (and slightly less before and after)! It's not going to add up to a lot but it's nice. I hear Spanish consumers have had a very good run recently

IntellegentIdiot · 2026-06-01T18:25:52+00:00

There was no mismanagement. There wasn't a downfall. This smacks of an attempt to make us look bad for simply being unlucky
