Taylor-Williams wrote a new blog post: The 15 Premier League Stars Who were simply 'trouble' The game needs characters; I accept that, but don’t some players just love their own hype? Football is very pantomime-like at times and for every hero, there is certainly a villain and the boo boys always seem to prioritise time to victimise the following pros but perhaps they deserve the occasional ear bashing. Whether a player [...]

Sam Antrobus commented on the blog post Do Tottenham need an extra pair of hands in the Transfer Market? I'm with you on getting rid of all the deadwood, defectedmonkey, although I think you're being generous with the £7million for big Bassong!
