Good afternoon.
I instinctively like A&E. Not the world’s greatest footballer, but arguably the coolest left back in the west. It’s a dog eat dog world and those hanging upon the every word of ‘footballers’ sometimes forget they have entered into a world where John Terry’s ethical compass is broken but not uncommon.
I like Benny because he doesn’t pretend. No newspaper clippings of Spurs ‘greats’ became oiled at their corners then dried out as the Blutak stuck then decayed over time on his bedroom wall.
He freely acknowledges that he’s a jobbing footballer who to his absolute credit gives his up most wherever he lays his hat.
That said, there will be some who’s nest has been poked by his latest comments.
“Everything is possible, when I met the chairman last January he told me that, if a club bigger than Tottenham came in for me, he wouldn’t necessarily be against my departure.
If there is a change at Tottenham – some more money is made available – I wouldn’t be against the idea of staying, but otherwise I’ll try to move forwards, as I did when I left Lens.”
Fair fecks to him is what I say. If Levy & Co. don’t think he’s worth a deal, then that’s the way the cookie crumbles. But the next bit puts him right up there, for me…
“I have a gentleman’s agreement with the chairman. As he is a man of his word, I hope that will make things easier if a great club comes in.”
I cannot believe after the, ‘no like chicken badge’ fiasco with that Croatian knitwit that Benny didn’t know what he was saying. Genius.
Now who’s in your Top 5 comedian list? To be honest I never gave it any genuine thought before now… Sellers is there, then…
Any one seen this from our old friend Zokora?

How was that just a caution? Go on the Zok!
422 complete passes in the final 1/3, the highest of any Spurs player this season. Fact.
Money grabbing, stupid afro hair-do twat who is not as good as he thinks he is. Fact.
But apart from that he’s alright.
Apart from that he’s my main man!!
Benny’s always been too much of a risk. He either turns up, or he doesn’t. In some matches he’s one of the best LB’s in the prem, but this is usually followed by one of his many worst performances. A couple of seasons back, Hoddle pointed out that he is one of our very weakest of links, since then he’s improved tenfold, but you still can’t tell which one will turn up. We need a LB, so Benny if you want to leave, good luck to you, have a nice life.
“He either turns up, or he doesn’t”
I’m a bit like that when I’m eating carrots. I’m either eating them, or I’m not.
Old timers: Sellers, P Cook, Cooper, Dawson, Milligan…
US: Pryor, Hicks, Rivers, Hope, Seinfeld…
So many good modern comedians, though:
Izzard, Coogan, Brand, Tate, Gervais, Carr, Connolly, Kay – there are millions of them…
Brand, Gervais :wassat:
just examples… there are thousands… I didn’t even specify which Brand (of Brand…)
;)
Dave Allen was a good’n.
Barker.
Derek and Clive :freu
The Best.
Absolutely love Dave Allen, his Adam & Eve story is one of my all time favourites.
Jim jefferies would make my top 10 but not top 5 stand up,
1.Bill Hicks
2. Richard pryor
3. Lenny Bruce
4. George carlin
5. Sam kinison
Hicks was more than a comedian. The guy was a prophet, a genius. A seer if you will. Though we don’t do religion on this blog even the bloke with his name at the top of the shop would allow this spot of god bothering.
Bill Hicks only had one routine. Pryor and Bruce piss all over him.
Jasper Carrot AKA as Mike Dean the ref
If u think Bill Hicks had only one routine you either don’t know his catalogue of material or are a fool
Louis C.K. Not that famous, but f*cking funny. Check him out. Well worth it.
Grat Louis C.K. routine here.
Some excellent shouts there.
I’m a big fan of Jim Jefferies, of the newer breed.

NSFW and all that. But some impeccable lines/timing.
coming up the rear- Graham Norton
:winke: Benny says LOL!
Everton need money for Piennar so…. one things for sure, if Everton think there getting him for the absurdly reported £3m then Baines is ours for a Tenner!
