This is one of those 'what I'm currently reading' type of blog posts. I like to share the wealth.

The Transfer Windows opens next Wednesday.
I can confirm there will be activity at THFC within the first week, both players arriving and players leaving.
I am not going to name, names, in case of jeopardising any potential deal, except to say most of the names have already been mentioned on here.
- The most important piece of ITK info this week (so far), collected in a thread over at GG.co.uk with various other gems. Also, expect tomorrow to arrive at some point soon. Keep an eye out for the moon followed by the sun.
"For Tottenham, it is a fixture of far greater significance, a match against a key rival that, over the years, has emerged from Tottenham's shadow and started to stake a claim to replace them as London's third biggest club"
- The Games Gone Crazy, a West Ham United blog about Tottenham, talking about the rivarly between us and the 'ammers. Bless. I'm not going to link to the article or the blog. You can easily find it in amongst the Tottenham News Now listings.
"Sadly for Arsenal fans, their club haven’t been able to sustain the success they enjoyed as our rivals, failing to win back to back titles under Wenger and reaching just one European Cup final. They have been “in transition” since 2005, like United were, however they haven’t managed to develop out of this period yet"
- The Republik of Mancunia tells it how it is. Transitional Arsenal? Alas, they have no need to fret. They have the kids. You know the kids, right? They had them last year and the year before and the year prior to that one. In fact they always have the kids. I'd expect to find Peter Pan playing in their academy side, kidnapped from Never Never land and now living in Never Again land.
Zing.
"Tottenham want Reo-Coker?! Is that official or supposed ITK's? It saddens me to say as I really thought he would go far but he is an English version of Zokora. He had so much potential when he burst onto the scene - the fact he captained every club he played for, especially us at his age shows that - but he has just never kicked on like he should of. Majorly frustrating when you see him make an unbelievable tackle inside his own box, power his way past the opposition three quarters of the way up the field and let himself down with a wayward 10 yard pass. If he can't do it now, I don't think he ever will"
- The progression of Harry Redknapps side discussed here, including some decent insight from an almost decent West Ham fan concering the rumours of Reo-Coker signing for Spurs. You can't see me, but I'm shuddering.

'The Games Gone Crazy' blog is puzzler.
It seem like it's written by a child but the author talks of things like 'The Wife' and 'The Kids.'
I can't work it out. Nor can I his obsession with creating the heated rivalry between 'us' and 'them.'
I frankly couldn't give a hoot about West Ham.
Who is he?
Poor West Ham. They hate us but we couldn't give a monkey's. Sad really.

Well, I haven't read the blog but on Newsnow, there's a bit from the Mail about rivalry between the London clubs and we don't even put the spammers in the top three yet lo and behold, we're the top hate figure for them.
Honestly, I just can't work out where the "rivalry" started. Did it just come to them to hate us? Do they not uinderstand they are just like an irritant, a young brother screaming at your knees for attention?
Wish they would go away or even better, get relegated again....
That games gone crazy blog is a mess.
I hate West Ham... a lot.....
On "the games gone crazy" blog, the child/idiot who runs it deliberately goes out of his way to rile spurs supporters in some sort of plea for a non-eixistent rivalry.
It's quite frankly desperate/bizzare/ just really annoying as it always comes up on the Spurs Newsnow.
The man, is applying some serious trolling techniques.
That dudes just looking for hits. Sad really.
The games gone crazy you say? Rather the blogger has gone crazy!!!!
Sad really, but then again why would anyone want to discuss west spam when you can talk about Spurs. Can't really blame him now can you!!
their blog seems nothing but crap journalism and point scoring rubbish
spam spam spam!
read the games gone crazy this morning....read down the comments at the bottom, only one comes in from a West Ham fan who tell the authour he's a prat.
face it, it aint maent to be, but its kinda funny
West Ham have developed a hatred for us on a number of levels. As Chelsea and Arsenal have become unrealistic targets they see us as their major seasonal scalp. For them, finishing above us or preventing us from achieving our goals is what their success is based on, and as much as they won't like it, they know this hghlights their limited potential. We're also clubs that have been built around and grown from strong working class communities loyal to their local side and that sentiment has been passed down through generations, whilst both Arsenal and Chelsea have developed fanbases more akin to the Liverpool fans i grew up with in Tottenham during the 70s & 80's - that commonly known as the "glory hunter". It should also be taken into consideration that both clubs maintain a strong hardcore following and as much as they hate us they know that we're the only mob in London that will sing as long and as loud as them and support our team win, lose or draw. Thats why as much as i love to hate them i'll always like them more then Chelski or Ar5ena1, because like us they're a real London side.
forget the spam!
the mustard has squirted out of the hot dog...!!

The way you settle this is argument is simple. Better quality players will sign for us over them any day of the week.
