He runs a bit like Paul McGrath, as if his hamstrings are tight which prevent him taking a full stride. He's an OX but maybe he needs to learn to run a bit more efficiently. Which brings me onto the point... We all know how to run but there is certain training sprinters do to make them more efficient, I know they are mostly working on short bursts of power but a lot is also down to technique. Do we not have a running/sprinting coach on board? Perhaps a few players could benefit from this? Walker has spoken about his sprint coach as a youth and how he feels he has benefited. It's the small marginal gains that add up to make a different.

Haven't been supporting Spurs for as long as some of you, my time following the club started at the dawn of the Harry Redknapp reign and from then on we have been relatively successful. I do recall Jenas being pretty bad though, whenever he came off the bench I don't think there has been a Spurs player since who has cemented a view that the match is lost more than when I saw Jenas coming on. Some have mentioned Pav, but he did have moments of sheer brilliance and for that I can't include him in any list of worst players. I also developed a loathing for Adebayor but he fits a similar bill as Pav, for example that goal against Man city the outside of the box curler, that, that was nice.
Strongly recommend 'Skagboys', prequel to Trainspotting
Need translation for Weegies though!
Love Welsh and Iain Banks
It's just character.
Like when Dembele beats a man, then goes at him again to have another go for fun.
Gomes was just a little scamp
Giovanni Dos Santos is the first player to come to mind in recent history that was meant to be something great but was nothing.
still 93 games for mexico though...

Such a frustrating player. Did fuck all for us. Often looked like a weapon on the international stage. Cunt.
Skagboys is next on the Agenda mate.
Sidenote , book vs movie Trainspotting (original) which do you feel is better ?
I always always prefer the book to the film but in this case I preferred the film to the book that's not to say I didn't feel the book was excellent it's just I adore that film.

Well, his problem was standing around doing nothing whilst getting blind drunk.
There are stereotypes out there that suggest that made him more eligible to play for his country......
He's done alright for Galaxy, but probably grew up too late. It's not often that Barca let good players leave and not return without a good cause.
This is why I get the hump with fanboys who get wood over players like Odegaard etc 10 years ago another generation of fanboys were rimming Pato and Dos Santos all over the Internet.
I loved both but haven't got round to seeing T2 yet
But if asked for preference always the book for me
If you fancy a laugh get the DVD of "The Legend of Barney Thomson"
Hilarious with Robert Carlyle, Ray Winston n Emma Thompson
Didn't Emma Thompson have a run out at centre half in a pre-season against Barnet?
Might have been Helen Mirren - I forget.
I remember that game - I think he scored but we lost on penalties?
yes to both. He scored v England off his shoulder.
Missed 3 absolute sitters at the Library at a time when we hadn't beaten them for ages there.
Hoddle - my favourite Spurs player, but it would have been better if he'd never got near the Spurs cheque book. Apart from Robbie Keane (who I wanted us to buy years beforehand from Wolves for £2m, no gamble there whatsoever by the time we bought him from Leeds) - almost all his signings turned out bad. Toda, Acimovic, Bunjevcevic, urgh.
Good times......required viewing for anyone considering supporting Spurs. Know what your getting yourself into.
He did , a penalty . Think he dink'd it too the wee bugger
2004. I was there. Useless cunt did fuck all for us (including fucking up 2 one on ones away to the Goons), then knocks us out of the Euro quarters. To be fair though, I blame Sven Goran Eriksson for that more than I ever could Postiga. He took Darius Vassell to the Euros instead of Defoe....and brought him on for Rooney when Rooney got injured (when Fatty actually had his only decent tournament for England)
Alan Bissett's Boyracers is a good book, if you like Scottish fiction and the vernacular
