Off topic I know but rumours of Tom Carroll from spurs coming in

Where does he play uncle Tom?

I hope he's better than the last Carroll we signed.

May well be true.

I know that Harry Redknapp has been trying to get some of his 3rd tier players out on loan now that Spurs are out of Europe.

If so, I also know that with Spurs loans, if he plays, they will pay 2/3rds of his wages. If he doesn't play, we pay all of it. So, assuming he does come, who drops out?

So long as he's better than Roy or Andy. Or father Dougal and Dobbin as they are better known. At least Andy could keep the grass short and fertilise the pitch.

Midfielder I think

Tom Carroll is a play maker midfielder in the mould of modric. He played in most of our Europa run. Beautiful range of passing too.

Beefcake (that sounds so wrong!), are you saying he'd be a good one for us to borrow then?

Beefcake, Uncle Tom.

If we needed a young central midfielder with a good range of passing, what's wrong with Bailey and Hendrick!?

Have been searching for the link he told me and found this under
Daily Express

Peeder-sorry, old nickname. He will be a very good signing,he's only a small lad but likes to dictate the play,everything will go through him. Was probably our best player in the Europa comp.

Rampant- without belittling anyone....a promising premiership youth is better than a promising championship youth,for one Tom has learnt from modric,Huddlestone,parker and van Der vaart and James and Jeff have learnt from savage and green(although I think greeny is very good)

He'd best be a damn sight better than Livermore.

That is what concerns me Bolder. Saw Livermore had made the Spurs first team the other week so if Livermore is ahead of him then he might not be that good. As he is small, perhaps someone to look up to Ward.

I watched Livermore in a couple of recent games on telly and he looked ten times the player he was when he was with us.

What you'd do for one more liver Ooe.

Beefcake - don't forget that Huddlestone was originally a promising young Championship player who came through the Derby academy! And he's now a well established PL player!

a lot forget livermore was young and use to low end of league 1, I hear he has grown alot.

Igor -

Have you ever watched 'Monty Python's Meaning of Life'?

I always hear John Cleese saying "Can I have your liver?"

Eddie, loved them classic TV and comedy genius.
Do you remember 'ripping yarns', was it Eric outhwaite?

Meaning of Life = quality

Do I remember Eric Olthwaite?

"It were always raining in Denley Moor, except on days that were fine...."

"Black puddings are black today, mother. Even the white bits are black."

"That night, as we talked about shovels and precipitation, Arthur and I decided that we had so much in common that we would form a gang."

I have all the Ripping Yarns on DVD. Like Eric, I qualify as the most boring t1t in the world.

Oh Lord, please don't burn us
Don't grill or toast your flock
Don't put us on the barbecue
Or simmer us in stock
Don't braise or bake or boil us
Or stir-fry us in a wok.

Oh please don't lightly poach us
Or baste us with hot fat.
Don't fricassee or roast us
Or boil us in a vat
And please don't stick thy servants Lord
In a Rotiss-o-mat.
