He's taken a lot of stick the last few weeks, in fact probably more stick now than he did when he first arrived, despite spending the last two years getting up to pace with the prem, reaching the peak of physical fitness and improving all areas of his game no end.
There are myths that were true but are now less relevant, yet still haters drag them up over and over - he doesn't tackle, he can't defend, he doesn't run with the ball etc. - if you're using these as reasons to dislike the guy then you've not been watching him and, when you do notice him it's because he's made some minor cock up but you can happily ignore anything he does of any worth.
His level of fitness means that as everyone else is tiring he can pick up the ball, spot a gap in the middle and surge through - he's been the supplier more times than he's given credit for, the creator as well on many occasions, yet those who dislike him will ignore that too. Equally, how can any of you honestly single out Didi and claim he's been worse than Jenas? Bentley? Bent? Bale? He hassles, he gets stuck in, he tracks a man like a randy dog after a weedy guys leg, not a balloon, and is our ONLY player to make the effort to actually RUN back to defend, when the rest trudge. Just because he can't pick the ball from the feet of a player with the precision of a sniper it doesn't mean he's shit either - he does make some very, very important tackles and challenges and is now more aware of situations that he can't win, so reverts to hassling more often if he's going to risk a booking from a tackle - reflected in only 2 bookings this season so far.
He is far from the worst player ever to pull on a shirt too, you really don't want me to start listing some of the dross we've had play for us in my lifetime, you really don't - it would make you depressed to the point of suicide at some of the chumpties we've paid money to, but i guess that makes no difference to you Zoko-slaters as i expect you'd still hate him even if he donated his wages to you personally for the rest of his career.
Aside from all this - Didier Zokora is a Spurs player. He wears a Lilywhite shirt and gives 110% where those around him give barely half.
Didi, play on fella, play on and we'll sing your song - f*ck the haters, they'll get bored of booing you eventually and go onto someone else.
Not got time for all that negative energy when it should be being poured into supporting the lads. In a time when we need persistance, in a time when we need some effort in midfield, we turn to you.
COYZOKO!
COYS!
