Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

Gardner began to impress during the 2003–04 season, and earned his England call-up as cover for Gareth Southgate in a friendly against Denmark in March 2004.[27] He won his first and only England cap against Sweden on 31 March 2004, after Sven-Göran Eriksson used him as a half-time substitute at the expense of John Terry; the Swedes won the game 1–0 with a 53rd minute strike from Zlatan Ibrahimović.[28]

if we're counting fullbacks it's lee young-pyo

by fucking miles

gilberto.....................................................

2003–2010 Brazil 35 (1)

gilberto hadn't the longevity of pyongli

dunno if spurs were a big club when gardner, gilberto or pyo were there

idk when dean richards lost his confidence it was fuckin ugly, how long ago is that now?

I think that the early stages of a debilitating brain condition that ultimately killed him might have had something to do with that.

Spurs defenders up until 2009 or thereabouts don't count anyway. Also David Luiz is still playing regularly for Chelsea.

not sure dean richards had been diagnosed under hoddle

I definitely remember mysterious injuries/illnesses starting pretty early, like 2003 or thereabouts. By the following year we'd signed Naybet and from then on he didn't feature much.

I've just done a search for 'Dean Richards' and wow I was a lot more Darraghmac in my younger days. There's one comment I feel particularly bad about in hindsight.

we were all a bit that way once, i wouldn't be so hard on yourself. millionaire footballers don't tend to be overfazed by stuff they don't ever actually read.

I probably shouldn't have called for his severed head on a shit-covered plate though. That seems a bit excessive.

i thought it'd be that one alright

tho iirc you said once he'd make a spurs worst xi ahead of gardner, which was my next guess

if we're counting fullbacks it's lee young-pyo

Lee was picked for ESPN's MLS best XI this season and voted Vancouver's 2012 Player of the Year, fyi.

Let's not pretend that we're talking big club players here but Lee Young Pyo > Stalteri.

While you're around Nakh have you, or anyone else for that matter, seen much/any of Lazar Markovic?

I like the look of him, nice and girly. Between him and that kid at PSG, european footy might be in for a pleasingly shoegazey future.

never watched him xp but i know current (or former who knows) manager avram grant was raving about him a while back

atm the jugoslav wunderkind du jour is 16 yr old croatian playmaker alen halilovic

no.

lol^2

I mean, that's hardly his fault there

want their fans to sing di matteo, di matteo to the tune of rock me amadeus on 16 mins

yeah squad's just not big enough bless his cotton socks

swp in for cisse

arry out

Seems weird that Harry has never managed SWP before. He just feels like a Redknapp player.

oh for fucks sake

they hadnt had a kick

benteke is terrifying

c'mon Villa, keep pushing...

BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks on Final Score:

"The way Rob Green went to save that shot from Holman, it looked like he was not at the top of his game.

"Green was talking to his coach all the time at the start of the game, and it is unprofessional to not be concentrating, I am surprised.

"He appeared to be distracted by the fact his shirt was clashing with the officials and he let it bother him too much.

"To go 1-0 down for QPR, it is a big blow."

elemayo

bugger.

GET THE FUCK IN

c'mon Villa, keep pushing...

... people over? what game are you watching

I'm watching Benteke barely a half yard off from putting Villa ahead again.

unlucky you giant diplodocunt

Bale, the recipient of more yellow cards for diving than any other player in the Premiership, sarcastically applauding the ref for having the temerity to book him for diving. Nagl.

I think I can die happy now I've heard Garth Crooks try to pronounce "murderered".

good bit needle lads xps keep it going

Fulham-Spurs is complete dross right now.
