100% nailed on and done and dusted - redux
Monday, July 5, 2010 at 1:00PM Back in May 2009 I shared exclusive snippets from the soon to be published book 'Diary of an ITK'. Which should be out soon. There appears to be a void in these current summer months that is usually occupied by the 'In the Know' community drowning us with various cryptic forum posts revealing (or should that be disguising?) the latest bit of inside info, we all so desperately crave. Because, you know, we need to know about it so that we're not surprised or shocked when it actually happens. Because God darn it, we just have to know!
So, in the mean time, here's some more extracts from the 'Diary' to enjoy whilst we wait.
Monday
Weather not great today. Slightly overcast. Not guaranteed but expect to be taking an umbrella with me. Looks like it's going to rain heavily. Ignoring the weather reports that suggest otherwise. It's going to happen people.
-
It hasn't happened. It's about 85 degrees Fahrenheit out here. I'm drenched in sweat. I'm thinking deodorant. It's a massive possibility. Announcement shortly. Umbrella now not part of the deal. These things happen.
-
Game on. Using the roll-on now. Can confirm both armpits. Can't reveal my source. But let's just say, I trust him and he's not let me down before. Passed on deodorant spray due to lack of discount offer. Roll-on fits in with my needs perfectly. I'm Sure this will be a massive success.
-
It's looking good. Feeling confident and assured. Caught my reflection in the shop window, looking sexy. Don't shoot the messenger. Just stating the facts. I smell good.
-
Will need to be careful with this new information I have as can't reveal too much, so here goes. Can't see me going for the Angus, would be too much beef and it's questionable whether the deal would be regarded as 'king'. The other Scottish target is a no-go also. Too many people in for that one. Too obvious. Looking for new options, possibly continental. Can't reveal anything more at the minute. Don't take my word for it just be patient as I expect things to move on soon. Working hard behind the scenes to get this sorted out. Do not mistake co-incidence for fate. 4 8 15 16 23 42. Can't say anymore brother.
-
This is big. You're going to want to sit down for this. I have it on good authority this is going to happen very soon. 93.4% done. Nailed on. Expect an announcement later on today about Al Fresco. It's in the bag! Very excited!
-
Fresco deal is dead in the water. Too expensive. Decided on a salad from Marks and Spencers instead. Should be done and dusted in around 10 minutes. Let's just wait and see. Expecting confirmation once I receive my cash-back and receipt.
-
For all you doubters, the salad has left the building. Happy days.
-
I just burped. Don't ask me how or why or where it came from.
-
Reading the latest football news on NewsNow via my iphone. Joe Cole linked again. And Harry has been talking about Diego Forlan also. Mentioned this to Becky (on a voicecall) who works behind the counter at the Spurs Shop and asked if she had heard anything. She said 'Yeah'. She says she saw something in The Sun the other day. Will find a 3G hotspot to browse the forums. Then return home in time for Hollyoaks.
-
Later that day, posted in a Tottenham message board:
COLE (J) HAVING MEDICAL AT SPURS AGREED DEAL HARRY GAURANNTEDD COLE TO PLAY IN MIDDLE OF PARK. COLE WANTED TO BE REUNITED WITH HARRY. EXPECT THIS TO GO THROUGH IN THE NEXT 94 HOURS. PRESS CONFERENCEE WILL FOLLOW LOOK FOR NEWS ON OFFICIAL WEBSITE. IF DEAL FALLS THROUGH FORLAAN TO SIGN. MY SOURCE CAN CONFIRM BOTH SIGHTED AT WHITE HEART LANE. ALL NEW SIGNINGS TO BE ANNOUNCCED BEFORE TRANSFER DEADLINE DATEE.
The diary will be available from all good book shops in July. Maybe August. Possibly September. Cost? £4.99 but might rise to £7.99 on HP.

Thumbs up!
Spot on. Again.
idiot and stupid article!!!!
Quote sources please!
Just admit it Spooks, you copy and pasted this from Spurs Community right?
It would be boring if there was no ITK gossip. But it's been alarmingly quiet so far this summer.
Spursman obviously doesn't frequent the Spurs football blogs and forums often. The lucky sod.
Gutted we missed out on Al Fresco.
I'm sooooo excited! 94 hours and they're ours....
Is that Becky from the Harlow shop? We can have J Cole playing in a hole and Forlan floating and then with the Spanish winger as full back and Turan as DMF - brilliant.
General Brickhouse : i do frequent spurs blogs on a daily basis just not this stupid one, with the headline i thought omg there is actually some info on this site for a change only to read some prat talking about deodrant and roll ons!!!! i don't get all the admiration people have for this moron on here as he talks utter crap!
MY SOURCE CAN CONFIRM BOTH SIGHTED AT WHITE HEART LANE.
How?? Forlan is at the WC?
Spicy1979: it's obviously some sort of stupid joke as look at the spelling, no one is that retarded at spelling............................ are they?????
thats 1 minute ill never get back!
And yet here you are Spursman79. The joke has gone over your head, don't worry about it. You obviously don't have the experience of the long standing joke between certain on-line spurs communities and their ITK members. It's no big deal move along now.
Very little ITK about at the moment, mostly all copy and paste jobs from the tabloids. Boring summer.
you move along!! or are you the resident spooky ass licker???? it's all fine making a joke of things but to put that headline just to get hits just shows how desperate this site is for readers, quite a few pissed of people reading this shit!!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha RETARD!!!!!
Sort it our Spursman79. What a fuckin loser. Its a joke for fuck sake. Made me laugh anyway!
What are you choking on there Spursman? Its the same headline he used last year you moron. Let me spell it out for you:
HE IS TAKING THE PISS OUT OF PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE IN THE KNOW WHO STATE SUCH THINGS LIKE '100% DONE AND DUSTED' WHEN IN REALITY THEY ARE TALKING BOLLOCKS. THE ARTICLE ABOVE IS WRITTEN IN THE FASHION OF HOW THEY TEND TO SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT PLAYERS ALLEGEDLY LINKED.
Is that making sense for you now? Is it any clearly? If you don't like it find another blog to bemoan. There is no gun to your head is there now? I'm sure Spooky would be hard pressed to appeal to everyone out there and I doubt he cares that much considering the history of this blog.
Will never tire of this.
Yes. I'm desperate for traffic. That's why I spend my time writing about Tottenham Hotspur. It's the reason, its my inspiration. Traffic = more inches on cock.
:picard:
oh right its a joke, making bullshit headlines up and then making up that players are gonna sign and when someone actually falls for it then its all good to just rip him apart for it?
So who is this Redux? Where have we signed him from? Is he any good? Can he play left midfield?
Is this your councilling or something? Did someone laugh at you before when you were convinced we had signed Ronaldo!
Spursman79 - you are desperately trying to validate something you simply fail to understand, don't worry about it. If you knew what the author was taking the piss out of you'd get it. Sorry you don't but its not exactly the end of the world is it mate. Chill.
i lold my pants
in what way shape or form does this article have anything remotely to do with THFC????? thought school only had an hour for lunch......... how times have changed hey?
Another Classic... I loved the "Lost" connection.
spursman calm down for fuck sake, its a jooooke...tell ur face
Spursman, DearML is a satirical blog site And Spooky doesn't claim to be ITK or a serious news reporter. It's light entertainment. So with that in mind, if you don't mind some middle aged honky prattling on about Tottenham, this site is for you, otherwise don't bother clicking the links and you won't get angry.
FACT
don't shoot the messanger, take that as you will.
I AM NOT HAVING A GO AT THE JOKE YOU ARE ALL SHARING OVER THE ITK'S!!!!!!!!!!! ITS THE HEADLINE TO GRAB HITS AND MAKE PEOPLE LIKE ME COME ON HERE JUST TO READ THAT SORT OF SHIT!!! THE HEADLINE COULD HAVE BEEN............ "ITK'S TALK RUBBISH SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR REAL THFC NEWS DON'T READ THIS SHIT ARTICLE!!!"
"oh right its a joke, making bullshit headlines up and then making up that players are gonna sign and when someone actually falls for it then its all good to just rip him apart for it?"
You're an idiot. The headline is making the exact point made by the attention seeking ITKs who want to be lavished with praise for breaking transfer news. It's not like Spooky is actually saying we've signed XXX player much like most of the unofficial football sites out there. Do you also spend time slating the Transfer Tavern for their ridiculous headlines and non-content?
redux aint a person, it means restored or bought back or somethin
I DO SLATE THAT PRICK AT THE TRANSFER TAVERN ACTUALLY LOL, i will give the author here a bit of praise in respect of at least he don't cover half of his writings with advertisings!!! although in this particular case i think it might of helped the article.
TEH CROOZ CONTROL :D

Oh my God. Are you seriously arguing about this? Your alternative headline by the way is just plain silly. Perhaps you should take 10 minutes to look at the archives of this blog leading up to the end of last season then come back and let us know if you think this site is full of shit articles.
i agree spursman79, the author on this site is a knob and has just wasted mine and everyone elses time.
"So who is this Redux? Where have we signed him from? Is he any good? Can he play left midfield?"
LOL.
Seriously Spursman, let it go.
my alternative headline is much more accurate though so it aint as silly as "100% nailed on and done and dusted" is it? prat!
Funny article, even funnier response!
You've cheered me up no end :-)
- in what way shape or form does this article have anything remotely to do with THFC????? thought school only had an hour for lunch......... how times have changed hey?
Can you link me to the 'Football Blog' manual on what constitutes as acceptable content?

What is the obsession with hits? For the record, so you can sleep a little better at night, I get more direct hits than I do from the various feeds this blog uses. I'd say I was guilty once of posting a sordid little title, but then again, its a flipping personal blog, not the be all and end all of all things.
Grip. Get.
Big lol at the people saying they've had their time wasted. It's not like you've lost a year from your life expectancy ffs.
my alternative headline is much more accurate though so it aint as silly as "100% nailed on and done and dusted" is it? prat!
The title is perfect because:
a) Its a follow up to something written almost a year ago. Go back and read the comments section for the original article linked above. Go on.
b) Because the title illustrates the point of the article.
Do you want me to draw you a picture? If so send me some crayons.
Article is great. The comments are greater.
Lost numbers, haha, that makes as much sense as the ITKs themselves.
General Brickhouse: why the hell are you frantically trying to defend the author? must be his favourite rent boy or something or did he give you the lionel messi sticker he had available in swap at play time? caught offside seems a more accurate site than this crap.
You guys make working days less boring , loving the work Spooky
Goodbye then.
