So here we are again, the close season with very little Saints related news to talk about (apart from Ron's imminent contract extension signing pleeeease!) So I thought we could have a bit of fun naming the values for an imaginary Saints top trumps pack. You can do however many players you want and all the catagories are out of 100. The last catagory is a special one that applies to only that player i.e Cuco Martina: Banana Shot Bendability...100 Here is a list to copy and paste.... Attack Defence Tackling Passing Crossing Shooting Heading Leadership Special Category
Attack Long 80 Defence VVD 80 Tackling Wanyama 80 + 10 as he didn't break anyone's leg. Passing Tadic 85 Crossing Tadic 85 Shooting Long 75 Heading VVD 80 Leadership Fonte 500 Special Category For running like a duck: Long 100
Special Category - Pinging. 100 - The ability VVD has to suddenly pick a player out on the right touchline, while positioned on the left and deep in his own half, and... the commentator let's it pass entirely without question because he doesn't play for ManU, ManC, Arsenal, etc, etc, blah, blah, and therefore he must have done it by accident. All 3-4 times in the same match. Another Special Category - Free Kicks. 100 - The ability VVD demonstrated for Celtic and has done for Saints, but has gone entirely unnoticed by pundits and commentators. Indeed, just the other day, VVD lined one up and the pundit said he'd blast it. Obviously doesn't realise that VVD can swerve and knuckle ball with the best of them. Just needs to get his eye in a few more times when JWP isn't on the pitch.
The local sweet shop used to sell a quarter of those for 2/- Anyone under 40, move along, nothing to see here
Special Category - Mysterious ability to find an ace player. No, not Dusan Tadic this time, but the Black Box. Rating - Who knows.? Could be infinite.
Special Category - looking like a 14 year old: Jordy Clasie. 100 Special Category - most annoying mis-spelling of name: Jordi Classie. 95
That just made me watch the Liverpool game again....starting from after Mane's missed penalty of course. Nice to think that that effectively put us through to the group stages and cost them a Europa place. Sweeet.
