We can't have Lloris as captain.
Christmas is fast approaching and the players need someone to organise the piss-up.
Lloris probably only drinks wine FFS.

I'd want an experienced player with a lot of knowledge to help players like Kane and mason as my captain.
Not vice versa.

I think the Kaboul captain and Adebayor vice-captain experiment has shown Poch that if you have people in your team who don't want to do what you want them to do then sucking their cocks really isn't going to help.

I'd have Mason as captain and Kane as vice captain. They show the overpaid superstars how it's done.

Yeah, but if we made them captain and vice captain we'd probably have to give them a £50k pw pay rise too. :p

I don't know...he's got the look for a man who spends his weekends rolling around on the floor with a keg of scrumpy screaming 'cider cider!'

Baffles me how Lloris did not get the captaincy after leading a national team that our "Captain" doesn't get a look into...

I think it was political. Poch tried to get the potential troublemakers inside the tent pissing out. I expect Lloris was briefed/compliant. A noble attempt, if ultimately unsuccessful.

I think Bentaleb will be a long term captain for us. He's got the off pitch attributes.
Out of interest, what do you reckon off the pitch attributes are?

As a captain, I'm more interested in the on the pitch leadership, rather than off the pitch, but everything I've seen of Mason, he doesn't care who he's talking, he seemingly demands decent standards from his peers.

Thursdays squad should be interesting, see if they all kissed and made up or whether poch goes all avb on them

I wouldn't weep if kaboul didn't line up in the starting eleven again, or even capoue really

I'd put Ade above both of those... (On the never appear again list)

Lloris for captain for me.

The best goalie skippers have been the best.

I think Hugo could be the best.

I've noticed that too. Comes across as a guy who knows how good he is, has been frustrated at not getting his chance earlier, and isn't going to take shit from anyone now he's got his big break. Good to see.

Leadership, resilience and PR savvy.
