She never liked Bentley. Said he has the look and air of a man who spends hours preening himself in the mirror and probably wishes he could date a female clone of himself. She's always had a good judge of character, hence her decision to marry me
You started it! This thread was floating along, peacefully minding its own business until you showed up with your Crappest Spurs XI!
please log in to view this image Good player. Not a looker. Chadli would be fuming at the comparison!
Crappiest Casey Keller Jason Cundy, Thellwell, Gilberto, John Scales Rohan Rickets, Toda, Paulinio, Mabizela, Bentley Rasiak, Subs GK: Pletikosa, Rocha, Zamora, Dozzel, Thatcher, Booth, Postiga Some serious ****e in there!!!
Plenty of categories still up for grabs: Tallest XI Shortest XI Ugliest XI Top Scoring XI (Robbo would be in goal) Foreign XI British XI But the one I really want to see is: David Pleat Tongue-Twister XI Get to work people!
Best Team Lloris Carr, Mabbutt, Corluka , BAE King Modric, VDV, Bale Sheringham Klinsmann subs...Robinson, Kane, Berbatov, Rose, Dier, Toby, Defoe I went for BAE over Rose due to BAE's great 2 season spell from 2010-2012 and cos Rose needs to produce at least another good season to over take him in my opinion. Went for Sheringham and klinsmann over Berbatov and Keane but was a real close thing cos both had a great partnership. Went for Defoe as a sub instead Keane cos Defoe produced goal for more clubs, over a longer period in the premier league. .. again, it was close but sentiment also played a part. My only doubt is about Corluka instead of Toby...but think Corluka was very under rated. Gone for Jol as the manager simply cos he took us from being ****...not Sherwood or Ramos temporary **** but long term relegation candidates ****...and took us into European football via the league for the first time in over 20 years in just a season and a half which was an amazing achievement.
Some for a David Pleat's unsayable 11 Shimbomba (chimbonda) Cherry Cheese (Chiriches) Ronald Deano (Ronaldinho) Dirk Kirk (Dirk Kuyt) Shev-shenko (Shevchenko) But his best was ... The Republic Of Czechoslovakia instead of Czech Republic during the commentary of one of their matches
There was an arabic commentator who always called Kranjcar, 'Carragher'. I used to literally have wet dreams about david pleat commentating when I was out there.
This team has a beautiful balance to it - although Charlie and Mabbs leaves you with zero pace at the back. BMJ did more for us than any other manager in our PL history. Like you said, he transformed us from a laughingstock to a team that people took seriously and respected for the first time in 15 years. Even with all the damage Ramos managed to wreak, such was the groundwork laid down by Jol that there was always a sense it was a 'blip' rather than 'normal service resumed', and so it was.
Oh, best looking is tough.... Lloris Walker Scales Verts Edman Bentley Krancjar Rednapp Ginola Teddy Berba
Tallest Thorstvedt Ramon Vega Kevin Scott Goran Bunjevčević Øyvind Leonhardsen S Clemence Poyet Dozzell Anderton Kanoute Crouch
Leonhardsen and Clemence don't even hit the six-foot mark, I'm afraid. Scott should miss out to Gardner, both on height and the fact that nobody bloody remembers him!
