Taye Taiwo: Lord of the Loft!

You sure?

I think your eyes need testing.

 

I like him. He is strong and his long passes are usually great He give us more variations in freekicks. I really hope that we stay up so he can stay with us too in next season.

 

Well, 76 you seem pretty isolated on this. But even if you don't think he's a good left back ( I do) you've just got to like the man. He's got SOUL.

 

76 - You are entitled to your opinion. Just don't read into the fact that EVERYBODY else disagrees with you on this one. Of course we could all be wrong. Highly unlikely, but of course possible.

 

Near the beginning of the season we thought that there wasn't any spirit in the team. New players were unjustifiably getting starts over Championship heroes and there just didn't seem to be any wind under our sails. But as time has gone by, we've got a team full of spirit. Ferdinand and Taiwo are true Rs now and even Barton looks like he's passionate to be an R. Clint Hill is immense and surely is player of the season? Mackie won't stop, Taarabt has been much more sensible (except for the one second today) and Zamora looks like he's putting in about 110% each game.

If we had this team with this spirit from the beginning of the season, who knows where we'd be now.

 

Aye, every child is out of step except my Johnny

 

I can see why some of you haven't been fully persuaded yet. However even you lot have to admit it was his best game to date and he did what he had to against both Walker and then Lennon as well. That's when Spurs are at their best flying at you down the wings. He helped snuff out their best threat. I hope that you remember that other defensive legends such as Danny ****tu, Bob Hazell, and (for the oldies here) Henry Mancini to give him his real name could easily be seen as not being quite good enough. If they want to do it for us, and each did, we should be thankful.

 

YES Brix! What a MOTM performance, hats off!

 

I wasn't sure about Taiwo after his first couple of games (and I'm one of those who rates Traore) but Taiwo has been playing better and better. He fully deserves his place in the team and, if he carries on like this, I would buy him when we stay up.

 

I thought he was outstanding. One of us is badly wrong.

 

Rodders, don't always agree with you but you're spot on. We've two quality left backs right now.

 

I'm not fully with regards to a long-lasting full back, but for the time being he will do just fine. He is strong, good in the air and no doubt about it today was his best game by a mile. Well done lad.

 

I'm not even sure this was his best game, he's been excellent for a while. Did a job on Walcott didn't he? Recently we've seen him contain some of the premiership's best wingmen

 

I am gradually falling in love with Taiwo. I have only once felt this way before
Bobby Hazell

There is a resemblance

 

But not much with Tony Hazell.....did you make it to HQs Beth?

 

I would like to agree with 76 about Taiwo, but then we would both be wrong!

 

Taiwo was quality again, he had me in stitches after the game as well, he was so pumped up and had a huge grin, it was like we won the title.

Everyone had an excellent game today, especially Mackie who never gave BAE any rest and led to him being hauled off.

 

Absolutely this. Hill has been exceptional. Loved the comment by the ESPN commentator when he referred to him and Derry as the "QPR yeoman".

 

Yes thanks SB, by train.
Feeling grim but oh so happy. Well worth it
