Spudgun must be working hard if Tokes beat him to the obvious.

Surely you mean they are running late?? New second hand needed??

For those with Minty on ignore..

Meltdowns aside, just the usual usual.

Ridiculous.

Think this should be on the main board and we already have a thread for the DAJFU?

You've probably nailed it Bear, I kind of like this one too - it needs a polish but it's not far off a terrace classic He's just a slim Ronaldo Slim Ronaaaaaaldo He's just a slim Ronaldo

Leandra, Di, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow He has to join now I've sorted the song for him out.

He's better than SRL.. I'd like to see SRL walk on water!

Good Old Brave Sir Robin. Word to the wise though... your "sudden" appearance will be viewed as the second coming (or possibly third / fourth) of a previous poster. Good luck!

I always thought Turkish aspired to be a helmet / happyclapper

Ya. I bet Nicola is spamming the mods right now desperate for your poll to be realised.

No. It wouldn't be an interesting poll.

Ah, that answers my questions as to whether you may have increased the local gene pool or not and were you there 22 years ago?

Would or wouldn't?

Not Suitable For Wenk?

Completely agree. MLG makes a correction but in fact he misses the context of the point being made and therefore enhances his reputation.

Still played for Palace. The point being made was that KP was another "exception" - he clearly isn't as he was playing for Palace this season not Manchester United or Spurs.

Plays for Palace.

Grandad - surely if anything this thread should point out how far away we are from being a rival to Spurs?

Berbatov is not playing in a top 6 side - for whatever reason.. I think the game has moved on since Teddy was playing and he really is the exception.

He's played as a lone striker quite often.

You say it's not great but then you back it up buy suggesting it is. For me Everton and Spurs keepers are better than Boruc.

I love Rickie, always will but he's not as good as Fellaini.

Top 6 is a bit misleading, but if we were to aim for a fifth or sixth place finish how far is our current starting XI off from being a starting XI of a fifth or sixth place side: Boruc - not good enough Clyne - good enough All Centre backs that played this season - not good enough Shaw - good enough Cork - possibly good enough Morgan - good enough Puncheon - not good enough Ramirez - not convinced, possibly good enough Lallana - not good enough Rickie - not convinced, possibly good enough Other regular starters: Rodriguez - not convinced, possibly good enough Davis - not good enough Ward-Prowse - not convinced, possibly good enough So, IMO we have Clyne, Shaw and Morgan who are good enough to at least play in a side that could finish fifth or sixth. The 5 "possibly good enoughs" could well make the Everton / Spurs starting line up but I doubt would be regulars. Combining the above still leaves us short by half a starting XI - not squad depth players - starters. That is serious amount of investment to get us to fifth or sixth, not much change out of £80m to buy proven starters would be my estimate. Would have to be a sensational window to get us challenging for 5th / 6th but happy to debate my opinion. Would prefer this not to slip into a "some mboarders believe this to be the case..." style pointless point scoring exercise.
