It's all About Me, Me, Me

Thanks to 13 league titles to 2 for sending me in this one. At first it seems like a sensible Spurs fan accepting that a top four finish is not realistic this season. However, it's downhill all the way from there...

"As I lose hope in Spurs breaching the top 4 once again, I have begun thinking that there should be Champions League qualification places for the top 6 clubs in our league."

Of course! Because UEFA's primary concern should be working on finding ways to get Spurs into the Champions League. Also, I'd bet any amount of money that if pigs flew and this happened, Spurs would finish 7th.

"Seeing Anorthosis Famagusta in this years group stage after we demolished them 6-1 at WHL last year has annoyed me that THFC can't perform on this stage."

- Mortdog

Dirty Cypriots! It's not like they qualified for it or anything. Olympiacos just rolled over and let them win, just to spite Spurs. Can't trust those Greeks. Eyes to close together and all. And Cyprus is basically Greece. Coincidence? I think not! You couldn't make it up!

"Together with English teams making up 3/4 of the CL semi-finalists last year, and our 5-0 mauling of Roma in pre-season, it is clear that a wider range of English teams can compete with Europe's best."

- Mortdog

So, let me get this straight. Other teams being good and the result of one pre-season friendly means Spurs are automatically good too? What?

Not Dead Yet

Apologies for the long delay - I've been away in England for family reasons for the last week, and have thus had no internet connection, since my laptop chose a highly inappropriate time to die. Normal service should resume Wednesday.

For Old Duffer, who asked about why I didn't link to the racism thread mentioned in the last post, that was at the time an oversight on my behalf, but I believe that the thread has now been hidden by the mods, probably because it descended into racist stupidity, and the posts in question have been deleted, so there's little point in linking to it at this juncture. Sorry about that!

WUM of the Month

Before we get into that though, a quick complaint - apparently on 606, the mods have a funny definition of "offensive". Posts of a racist nature were made in a thread and were not removed. However responses made by myself and others calling out the poster on his racism were deleted for "being of an offensive nature". Unbelievable.

Oh, and my profile has been moderated for no good reason. Bastards.

Thanks to ForEver_Banega_Toon for this idea. Who has been the biggest parasite to inflict themselves on 606 this month?

Without further ado, the August 2008, and indeed, inaugural WUM of the Month award goes to...

Well, there was never any contest, really, was there? Congratulations to hateglazer, you win the prize - the prize being eternal pity. Tell your mum, she'll be really proud.
