I think you should keep it, it could be very entertaining.
Especially if they have opposing views on "sensitive" subjects!

It would be like KY had developed a dual personality and would in engage in arguments with himself

I wasn't trying to steal your name, genuinely didn't know there was someone with that user name til just now. I will try and change mine if possible.[/quote]
LOL!!! I totally didn't get that you were a different person, I was mildly suprised that @KentuckyYid was being so very nice though! (no offence mate, but you are normally pretty brusque!)

Is Benny due back tomorrow seeing as Cameroon went out in the groups?

Wonder if he'll go on tour.

I'm sure he will, but IMO the loan has done him no good. He's fought with players at QPR and Cameroon already and looked very suspect in the Championship. Maybe he stopped caring? It'll be interesting to see if he can become the old benny, but Poch doesn't seem to suffer fools.

But he didn't fight with players when he was with us and he is better than Rose.

I agree with you. I like him and I never wanted him to go, but he hasn't looked 'stable'. I'm not sure whether Poch would approve.

For me, he is better than Rose, but I also watched him a bit for QPR when they were on sky during the early saturday games and he looked very rusty. Again, that might be just because he didn't give a shit and didn't think he should've had to leave Spurs. I agree with him, it was another AVB fuck up.

He was probably, quite rightly, pissed at being sent to that shit little club simply because avb had a problem with his personality. He probably regarded it a punishment. Further to that there's plenty evidence & reports that QPR has been/ is an awful dressing room filed with egoist mercenaries (the type of footballer Benny has always said, quite fairly & rightly IMO, he detests)

& as to his WC teammates, they could well have been up to dodgy tricks & if that were indeed the case (& he'd know) I'd be disappointed in him if he didn't fight with them!

Besides all that, as Mullers rightly points out. Still the best LB we currently have!

In fairness to Benny there were multiple reports of Cameroon being involved in match fixing and as you said, the QPR move was very unfair for him, so we shouldn't be writing him off yet when he may have been in 2 awful team environments. He played well in the World Cup in my opinion, still a good LB.

I'm sorry but he's not still a good left back, he was treading water in the Championship and if there is one thing we know about 'Arry is that he doesn't create an "awful team environment".

Treading water because he wasn't motivated after being forced out?

He is so much better than rose it is stupid. I would have him back in a shot if it meant rose never played for us again.

It's stupid to think he's still much better than Rose, it's like comparing a VW Golf with a Seat Leon, they're both pretty much the same.

If BAE was as good as some of you think then even if he didn't give a shit his class would have shone through. So he either doesn't have the ability or the professionalism to continue to be a Spurs player.

Lets face it, if we're honest with ourselves, the only reason we'd keep BAE is because we actually like his personality and we could continue to wear the RUN BAE t shirts.

Seems silly not to recall a genuinely better (not to mention free!) LB than what we have, especially after a season where it's been our defensive failings that have been exposed so regularly.

Always had a good attitude when he was with us. Doesn't suit QPR at all.

Can this disgrace leave the club please? He was funny for a while but with his headbomb against his team mate he is finished for me.

Lol at the excuses, he was only awful in the championship because he didn't like the club, the league, saw it as punishment

What was excuse for him sucking a the world cup and fighting his team mates like an idiot.

Amazed such a sub average player has hero status with his lazy half assed displays, inability to ever cut out crosses, follow instructions, turn up to training or concentrate for 90 minutes.

But I guess he has cool hair, and posts a lot of twitter and has had one decent season in 5 years

Spurs fans. Always so soft on players who don't play for us (either because they've left the club, are out on loan or injured, or is in fashion in the eyes the football-hipsters), and always so hard on those who are actually in the squad. :shifty:
