8 goals in 6 matches is not average and that’s the sort of passenger we could do with more of.
He’s better than Bent because he does more than score.
He was in the right place to score four or five which is exactly what you require of a striker.
As Bill Nicholson once said of Jimmy Greaves,’ All he’s done this afternoon is score four goals’

Bent and Pav are from the same cloth - passengers who score. If Pav scores then as as Spurs fan I am happy. But I can be happy and still think he is a poor return on the £14m smackers we laid out for him. Not great, not terrible, just plain old average imo.

bravo sir - from one aspiring sports writer to another. though i do fear satire is a dish best served light, whereby you have decided to go with the more-the-merrier approacxh, but each to his/her own.

i do tend to agree with your view on pav - lets be perfectly honest, he really isnt great is he. as long as he keeps finding the back of the net he can be as bad as he wants, but i wouldnt say he is a drastic step up from the enigma Bent.

Here in Septic-land I have to watch on the box but it does mean I get replays. Elsewhere on the net I see Salgado branding our southpaw hero a diver and he has a point. Bad reputation to be saddled with - hopefully our coaches will set him straight ‘cos at the moment he’s it for our crossing threat.

We got three points but my one concern or should i say two is our Defense and our Midfield are giving the ball away cheaply. The times Bassong headed the ball back to Blackburn would get us murdered by a better team .He had a simple knockdown header to Ekotto stood a few feet away unmarked and he headed straight up the middle and instead of us attacking it was Blackburn this is happening a lot and the midfield is joining in by also giving the ball away two easily.The reason the midfield loses a lot of possession is trying to do to many difficult passes and the reason for this is they are playing to far apart. from all this a good win

Chainsawed in half…hmmm. He might have to consult his linesman with that.

Lady luck gave Super Pav a handjob yesterday! I’ll take it!

He seems to have fallen arches - common problem with footballers. He would look even worse without the orthotics he wears!

If you look at the replay, you’ll see that Corluka is clearly barged & put off balance by the Blacburn attacker before he puts his tackle in. So hardly a penalty…whereas Bale was hacked down twice once in the penalty area and the second time just on the edge.

As for the running, I suggest you do some stretching exercises before and after - unless you actually enjoy that buggered by a horse feeling.
