Yes like the odious Bentley, and the equally big headed Pennant.

Looks like Beckford might be off to Newcastle for ?3million though. Personally, if we get that much, I'd bite Mike Ashley's hand off. He's worth nowhere near that.



He'll be far more use at Newcastle, they've still got Barton, so a trained windscreen fitter/replacer is always handy.

Apropo of this (sort of). Did anyone else hear one of the commentators on 5 live the other night talking about how he was off at the Under 21's championship and his heavily pregnant wife decided to tear up half the carpets (nest building anyone?). She couldn't find anyone to fit new ones so said commentator was bemoaning the fact and Garry Birtles went round and did it for him! Twice winner of the European Cup and carpet fitter in a previous life. That's when footballers were proper!

I also remember a couple of years ago listening to an interview with a non-league manager who had led his side to the 3rd round of the FA Cup. He said there was nothing more stressful then driving along the high street and seeing your star stirker up a ladder cleaning windows. :))

Is it just me but it would already seem that young Jack Wilshire is already heading in that direction. I think the term is now called Bentleyitis.

Bentley's a good player. He's got a good first touch, is skilful, has good balance and a good passing range, both short and long. The problem is he's played out of position on the flanks. He doesn't have the pace to beat his man and get to the byline. He should be played centre mid where he can pull the strings and utilise his passing to the full.
That's bollocks. He aspired to be the new David Beckham. Beckham's got no pace yet he plays on the wing and has never had to beat his man to get a cross in. Agreed, he has all the attributes needed to be a good player but he doesn't work hard enough whether being played in the middle or on the flanks. The trouble with Bentley is he is not prepared to put in the hard work to improve his game. His ego is bigger than his talent.
Bentley HAD talent, whether or not he still has or is prepared to work to fulfil his potential is highly questionable,, which is why we kicked him out the door. That and the fact that he has the tendency to alienate himself from his fellow players. My eldest son has a mate who is Jamie O'hara's cousin, Jamie has told them that Bentleys attitude is very off hand and he treats the rest of the team and backroom staff with disdain.

Probably because nobody wants him. Jami O'Hara on the other hand has a great attitude and a decent player.

Exactly.

Yes, a good player. Works hard with the talent he has unlike Bentley. He's gone on loan to get more games and experience under his belt. With the squad we have at Spurs he wasn't going to get many games this season especially with the arrival of Nico Kranjcar

Get off Bentley's back. I've seen many players who have revitalized their careers under different managers. Let's face it, he doesn't get many opportunities under Harry and when he does he can't afford to have any slip ups or else he'll get dropped. I though Harry was a master of man management and the arm round the shoulder. Seems it doesn't extend to Bentley. You ve soon forgot about the great goal he scored against Old Vinegar face's bunch of foreigners last season. Call yourself a Spurs fan.

We suffered from a whole chunk of our squad believing their own hype the seasons after promotion and the only entertaining FA Cup final since the first world war.

All have now gone and most have learned the hard way that a nice comment from Ferguson does not a champions league final playing career make. They all play for things like Villa and Fulham and Birmingham, none are at the top four despite thinking themselves bigger than our little (yes cute ground keef) club.


I said good riddance at the time because talented or no these people upset dressing rooms, but I wish no ill will to them, reo-coker for instance is maturing nicely now and will feature in England midfields in his late twenties.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
