Well, all things considered, it still felt half-decent, didn’t it?

What is with the "zero" chance comment, who has ever said this? Or are you just making **** up againQuote:

That's monty's point, I think. I can't see that he's made anything up.

Of course some of this was pre-game bravado but the gap was never as big as reported, and the reaction to their beating Madrid was as excessive as the nonsense written at times about us.
Actually for the first time I see the experts saying things about spurs that they usually say about us.Quote:

He has employed a degree of hyperbole there to illustrate the hyperbole. It is a simple literary device.Quote:

AND! - since when does a referee allow an exrta minute to the standard two minutes of injury time at half time? When it's Mike '****yBollox' Dean and Tottenham are in possession, that's when."
Are you saying Monty is a professional writer? I thought when his last picture book sold 72 copies he'd gone back to sucking cocks on Hampstead Heath.Quote:
