Defensive Comedy Awards 2013-2014

I know the season's not over yet but I'm bored at work so decided to create this thread now.

This season we have seen plenty of defending which can only be described as comical, so I've decided to run a poll to see which one is peoples 'favourite' comedy moment.

The nominations are:

1 - Rose against Arsenal (Away) in the F A Cup. To make it 2-0. Rose, as last man, gets dispossessed on the half way line, leaving Rosky to run through on goal unchallenged and us out of the F A Cup.

2 - Vertonghen against Chelsea (Away) in the League. To make it 1-0. Slips, then plays a blind pass back towards goal, straight into the path of Eto, who puts it away to put Chelsea 1-0 up against the run of play.

3 - Chiriches against Sunderland (Home) in the League. To make it 0-1. After receiving the ball from Lloris, passes a loose ball across the pitch straight to Catteromle who puts it into an empty net.

4 - Kaboul against Liverpool (Away) in the League. To make it 1-0. An own goal in the first couple of minutes after a cross slightly deflects off of Vertonghen and comes off his heal.

5 - Naughton against Southampton (Home) in the League. To make it 0-1. Miss-judges a long ball from the keeper which bounces over his head and puts Rodriguez clean through.

6 - Naughton against Southampton (Home) in the League. To make it 0-2. Miss-controls a simple ball as last man leaving Lambert to slide an easy ball to Lallana to finish.

7 - Walker against Manchester United (Home) in the League. To make it 0-1. United over-hit the cross but Walker controls the ball perfectly for Rooney to smash in the volley.

8 - Walker against Chelsea (Away) in the League. To make it 4-0. Lloris kicks the ball up-field when being closed down by Ba. Walker, unchallenged on the half way line, heads the ball straight back to Ba, who puts it away.

9 - Dawson against Liverpool (Away) in the League. To make it 2-0. After only being on the field for seconds he volleys a ball, under no pressure, behind Kaboul who isn't able to get anything meaningful on it before Suarez nips in to run in on goal and score.

10 - Lloris against Manchester City (Away) in the League. To make it 1-0. inside the opening 15 seconds he kicks the ball along the floor to a City player who's shot is well saved but only parried out to Navas who produces a sensational finish to put City on their way to a 6-0 mauling.

...... like this thread cant you add some off field options to?
lets face it Levy Baldini and Sherwood all comedy gold

 

[Mattspur]

Personally, my favourite is the Walker one against Chelsea. It was so unusual and just WTF.

 

[Nine while nine]

For sheer quantity of comedy defending, this season's been second-to-none, although, for pure comedic quality, nothing quite matches the 'Bale scores own goal against Liverpool with his face' moment from 2012-13.

I've given Dawson my vote for this year though because it's so rare for a player to come off the bench and make such an immediate impact. Kudos, Michael.

 

[Dougal]

I'm not sure if remember every goal this season but those fuck ups all spring to mind immediately. I'll go Kaboul because above all else it was a great finish.

Did you choose all 10 options to be Defence related, or did it just turn out that way?

I've changed the title so it's clearer.

My word, just highlights how shockingly bad we've been this season, roll on World Cup please!!!

Oh, il go for Hugo's clearance in the City away game, 14 seconds in, story of our season.

 

[L-man]

Gave it to Rose because it's the only thing he'll probably ever win

 

[Monkey boy]

Chiriches against Sunderland for me, say what you like about it that was a perfectly weighted pass that cattermole was able to stroll onto without breaking stride, if only Lennon or Townsend could see a pass let alone play it like that we'd be on to something.

Can we have some gifs please. This would be an epic thread with some gifs in the top post

If you can find them, I'll add them.

 

[Monkey boy]

Hope the kill joys don't come in and start bashing this thread. It's been one of those seasons that has been so bad that surely everyone has ranted, got angry, called everybody in sight the c word so many times now that the only thing left to do is laugh at our own misfortune.

 

[idontgetit]

Go on everyone pick a number and find a gif from 101greatgoals. OP can copy them in to the original post and we can have a good ol' vote.

In fairness to Rose on this one it was caused by my greatest pet hate which is some bellend on the wing having the chance to pass forward or cross and instead playing it back to the defence and putting them under unecessary pressure

 

[Syn_13]

Had to go for Rose's Cruyff turn against Arsenal. A miscued clearance or pass is one thing, but that is just the height of stupidity.

 

[absolute bobbins]

All of Sherwood's pre and post match interviews are incredibly defensive and comedy gold

This is a tough one.

In a previous life the club allowed us to present an award before a prem game to the winning player.

I wonder if they would be willing to do it for this...
