Tendentious, lazily researched clickbait: the quarantine thread for abysmal articles.

This was an acutely embarrassing night for the club. Indeed, the only joy any Spurs fan could really take from the evening was the look on Daniel Levy’s face as he squirmed in his seat. He has taken the fans for mugs this season and his visible discomfort at the spectacle before him offered at least some Pyrrhic payback.

Oh, fudge off.

ha ha, that's incredible

Do these cretins warrant a thread?

I think they do when they are in a broadsheet, a mid-market tab, F365, or something at a similar level. Not when it’s a blog. Not football.london, for instance.

That is so bad I found it quite funny. We should all be slitting our wrists at how "broken" we are.

Part of a narrative though. Radio 4 this morning were highlighting our 30,000 empty seats. Which of course means 50,000 occupied seats. In fact the attendance was just short of 57k which is more than respectable for an evening game against a team many thought we would lose to in a stadium many fans are fed up with.

One born every minute. Its those who read it you have to feel sorry for.

Painful + damaging +embarrassing + broken?

No, I don’t get it. I kinda think they’re trying to infer something, but it’s just a touch too subtle and I can’t quite hone in on it. Are they maybe suggesting delicately that there might perhaps be a small problem?

Goddam, I hate all this dancing around handbags!

Why can’t they just use a strong clear word or two to sum up what they mean?! Help me out F365 for Pete’s sake, spoon feed it to me - why not spell it out in the URL just so I blind departed llama couldn’t miss it?!!!
Dammit man, JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!

I hate the conflation of “infer” with “imply”, so perhaps we could move this discussion to the English usage thread? The one that gets derailed occasionally with new stadium discussion?

I was speaking of course from the perspective of the listener, but I do accept your point. Hate is such a strong word though. Are you sure you don’t mean ‘dislike’.

I’m not aware of the thread to which you refer (sorry, ‘rmply’) though.....

....Do you mean the “the Jon laughs at Spurs Community ITKs, but a load of bed wetters soil themselves and go off at him, thread”?

Oh no, it's hate. Implacable, seething fury. Don't get me started on refute, rebut and repudiate, either.

The Fighting rooster has a specific thread for mocking SC's ludicrous fabulators, which is the only thing worth adopting from that wretched hive of villainy.

We used to do that, but it's not even worth laughing at these days. ITK has gone the way most of world has these days, everyone just rehashing each other. They can't even be bothered to make brick up any more.

Partly the global change in how content is generated and shared, partly the local factor that leaks were plugged when Redknapp was ousted.

Or, “Tim Sherwood” as I liked to call them
