Thudd

To be honest I doubt Two Minute Tom has a girlfriend either.

Cannot believe he's still 22, it feels like a decade ago when he was at the Wolves.

can't find a decent youtube clip of it, but his strike against sunderland a few weeks ago was very nice.

his performance yesterday was pretty decent, although he should have buried that chance

We expect more than "pretty decent" from an icon when Dave Kitson's banging them in for fun in the Champ.

long time since anyone acknowledged thudd as the best passer in england

After Tom Huddestone struck a shot of such inaccuracy that it didn't even go out for a goal kick, Kranjcar was able to meet it, loft his cross into the middle and watch Crouch out-jump Ryan Nelsen to head in via the bar.

such libel! tommy obviously meant to hit it all the way to niko in the corner.

yeah wtf text guy watch ur back on the internet from now on

Is THUDD's birthday today! Happy birthday THUDD!

thudd hb motm imo

thudd+erica=greatestdayever? if only christina hendricks was also born on this date

considering he had like a billion shots, thudd probably should have had a birthday goal today

there was one crossfield pass in the second half that was so mindblowing lennon failed to control it properly iirc

whisper it in dark corners but corluka was far better than thudd in this match tho.

i like that cross a couple of games ago that thudd did that was disguised as a really shit shot that went to the corner flag, but it was a ploy to set up a goal for crouch.

Corluka is the most consistently decent unsung hero in the Spurs squad IMO.

corluka has transformed aaron lennon. it's as good a partnership as anderton/carr that one season they were both fit.

THUDD

AH-AH

HE'S A MIRACLE

UH-HUH

every time he hits the ball at speed i make an involuntary sound that approximates to YOMP!

YOMP!

DE JOMP!

it's usually followed a fifth of a second later by a similar noise and a defender lying on the floor winded

nike invited him to test their new football and he kicked it so hard it went back to before it was invented and the scientists at nike were confused and many of them cried for fear and all that thudd could say was YOMP

this guy here broke his neck trying to follow a YOMPER from THUDD and THUDD's all like 'Ref I am not to be blamed if foolish individuals break their necks trying to follow a YOMPER from my boot"

YOMP

spurs-supporting friend and i found a pub showing the spurs-hull game illegally on canal plus and i told him of 'yomp'...he approved. there was one inevitably blocked half-volley that was yomp in its distilled form

i'd have to know how you were sayin it though, to be completely happy with it spreading. for a start, it's never 'yomp' it's definitely YOMP, got to bite down on the 'mp'

oh don't worry, i typed 'yomp' but said "YOMP"

ok, a small thing but we owe thudd this.

i dream of an entire packed 'Naming Rights Here' stadium barking YOMP as one some day, it will truly be shock and awe for the hapless opposition.

won't be available against liverpool due to a knee injury.

But assuredly it was in that Word of God itself which was in the beginning with God and was God, namely, in the wisdom itself of God, apart from time, at what time that wisdom must needs appear in the flesh. Therefore, since without any commencement of time, the Word was in the beginning, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, it was in the Word itself without any time, at what time the Word was to be made flesh and dwell among us. And that Word was YOMP.

Do Royal Marines still YOMP? I remember the Falklands was all about the YOMPING.

Poor Tom, he deserves better than having 'yomp' as his legacy.

yeah what was wrong with THUDD?

UNIT, Big THUDD, YOMP- new marine code

and YOMP is only for a THUDD strike, it's not a catch-all or anything

But THUDD works better for a big strike. Simplistic, powerful and onomatopoeic. And you can put extra Ds on the end to indicate POWER.

Anyway having JJ in midfield may not be a bad thing against Liverpool.

I say you can have both YOMP and THUDD, Batman-stylee

seriously, thudd with a soft 'd' finish just kind of dies out, but YOMP! echoes like a military shout

JJ or kranjcar? would have assumed that niko/modric can do a job centrally, though that may be just a touch too attack minded.

that said, jenas midfield is just a touch too nothing-minded.

Definitely not Modric in the centre up against Mascherano, he's way better with more space to play with out on the left. Probably not Kranjcar either given he plays pretty ineffectively there for Croatia.

Every time JJ has come on we start playing in a different way and there's more penetration through the middle of the park. I'd say Palacios-Jenas-Croatians on both flanks is the way to go.

I'd trust Modric to win space in the centre, tbh. And I'm not sure that Liverpool, in their current state (including injuries) need much more than Palacios to handle them through the centre.

I'd much prefer to see us put them on the back foot, though in fairness JJ covers a lot of ground off the ball (though again, in fairness he doesn't seem to do much once he gets there)

I actually just said YOMP out loud :(

no excuses for not watching him tonight folks- the best passer in the english game.

eh unless he isn't playing for any reason, like.
