Please, please, please play Pavlyuchenko

[jimbo]

Dear Jim,

Please can you fix it for me so that my favourite player with the long name gets to play some more football games. I know that he's only scored 5 goals in 32 league games and that all the professional coaching staff at Tottenham Hotspur think this isn't good enough. They're all just jealous because he has an almost complete set of vowels in his name. Anyone with a big long name like that just has to be the bestest football kicker ever. What's more he has a really smiley face so he just must be the nicest person in the World. Even though he looks happy all the time I know that he must be so sad inside because he doesn't get to play and has only £40,000 a week to live on. So it would just make my day if you could tell that nasty Mr Redknapp to let him kick the ball a bit, especially as we don't have any important football games left to play this season.

Yours sincerely,

Champion of the Underdog

Can we get that Juande chap back too, he had two great foreign names. [(c) Dougal]

Is that a letter you received, jimbo, or one that you want to send? :grin:

Edit: Also, I think the letter shoul also include the fact that the only missing vowel is 'I', which doesn't occur in 'team' either. Huh? Huh? Think about it.

PS.....if it isn't too much trouble Mr Fix-It, could you also fix it so that should my favourite ever Spurs player get to start the match, but have a terrible game only to be replaced by that nasty Peter Crouch, who should then dare go on to score a goal, could you please fix it that we just bump all these threads and change the name in the heading, rather than 800 new ones? I don't think the server could take it.

Thanks Mr Fix-It.

Just checking, Mr Bear, that you get that jimbo is taking the piss. I expect you realise he is mocking the poor souls who deem Mr Pavlyuchenko worthy of a starting place, based on two shots and being a bit offside.

Again, just checking. :wink:

Yep........same.

In addition, I DEMAND that we play Giovani Dos Santos for the rest of the season because of that one time he dribbled past that guy in that team.

Thanks.

Judging by the "get's" on the first line, I'd safely say he's not written this. :lol:

Apostrophe fail corrected, good spot.

Nice dollop of sarcasm and piss taking there, great response to people who only want someone, who came on and performed well while others weren't, despite a complete lack of any opportunity in a team where there's only been one striker scoring regularly, yet two strikers play every time.

Oh, and not xenophobic in the slightest.

See, I can be a sarcastic twit as well.

If Pav's goalscoring was an issue with the management then surely they should have sold him last summer. Mocking Pav lovers is a bit sad. The people who should be mocked are those who decided to have four highly paid strikers but only ever start three. Ludicrous mismanagement of resources whichever way you look at it.

he should play because on that goal he scored against Shaktar last season, quality stuff :bowdown:

Gio and Pav strike force for Foolham :hump:

Well I clapped him when he clapped me.

Flavour of the week seems to be to answer a post like this...

Damn right

What a waste, give the guy a chance. It's not like he's 19 or something

Its true. I dont think anyone would even consider Pav if it wasn't for the lacklustre performances of our other 3 strikers of late. Pav did exactly what he needed to on Saturday, came on and changed the game, and got a bloody good goal for his efforts. I'm not sure Crouch or Keane would have scored the goal Pav did. At the very least we should be throwing him on from the bench. We're struggling to score goals atm, yet we would rather put on a Jenas than a striker like Pav who is much more likely to score.

My thoughts exactly. The others aren't doing it at present, he came on and looked good, isn't that how a player is meant to get into the reckoning? He gets a chance, he takes it, isn't that how it works? Or is that just old fashioned and do we prefer Starsign based methods ala Raymond Domenech.

How was it xenophobic? I think it's fair to question why Pav is so popular with the fans when we have three other strikers who have all contributed to us being 4th in the league with a pretty healthy goal difference and they don't get the same adulation.

It baffles me that he seems to be our most popular player whilst actually contributing very little in the league. Yes he did well on Saturday and yes he should be given a chance if he's putting in the effort in training and impressing.

But one goal against a League 1 side does not a Premiership striker make and I've seen far too many lacklustre Pav performances against the better sides to suggest he's suddenly going to come in and be our saviour.
