TeamNominate - A bit of fun

TGW89 · April 28, 2014

OK gang

On Facebook there's this new nomination craze doing the rounds, basically you just slate whatever team you are given.

I was given Liverpool (naturally!) so my response was as follows:

John Smith gave me Liverpool

1. Do I like them?

Put it this way, should Arsenal win tonight and West Ham beat Spurs saturday lunch, I will for the first (and hopefully last) time be rooting AGAINST Everton! Oh yeah, that's right, I said it....

2. Best Player

This is the one that makes me feel like Gillian McKeith, it's like trying to compare one sample of shyt with another and declare one to be "better" than the other

I won't say Suarez because technically he should be an Arsenal player, so I'll plump for Sterling. I like him in the same way I like scratching at my jock rot.

3. Worst Player

The rest

4. Overrated

Jordan Henderson, the guy looks more suited to a TOWIE special about a taxpayer-funded Zorbing session on the edge of Beachy Head (the one I fantasise about regularly where they lose control and end up in the drink)

Seriously, his face is just so punchable, as are the deluded cokneys and brummies who go on about him being the next Steven Gerrard.... it's a slippery slope

5. Underrated

Kolo Toure, top defender really when he wants to be....

The first one to give this a "like" will be given a team.

JESUS.
1. Do I like them?

I like seeing them fail utterly miserably and their top BANTZ supporters think they're massive when they've literally no right to think this.

But they play in a different league to us hey Pardew you horrendous sex pest.

No. No I don't.

2. Best Player

He left for PSG in January.

So I'll plump for Shola.

Nah. Probably Loic Remy. And he's not even theirs.

Krul is alright in nets.

3. Worst Player

Sammy Ameobi or Shola Ameobi.

WHAT AM I TALKNG ABOUT....

Dan Gosling.

4. Overrated

Cheik Tiote - I'm not really sure where the hype about him comes from. He had one good game against Arsenal about 4 years ago and that was that.

5. Underrated

God this is tough.

Debuchy should be at a better team than Newcastle I guess. But not us though. He's not even close to Coleman.

As before.

First person to 'like' gets the next team.

Lol

@potato - your team is.....

LEICESTER CITY

(Cos of the potato crisp link)

Leicester City:

1. Do I like them?

Kind of. Gary Linker promoting the mass genocide of my beloved brothers and sisters is not amusing. I was also quite jealous of the fact that despite years of mediocrity they are still able to attract investment ahead of our top Prem side which is extremely confusing. I partake in conversation in other football forums and the fans seem quite sound and they talk a lot of sense. They have had a long spell away from the Prem and i think it will be good to see them back and see what they are capable of. I'm sure Liverpool fans will love to see Paul Konchesky return.

2. Best Player

Funnily enough the Leicester City Player of the Year is due to be announced tonight in their awards ceremony do. I think David Nugent will win it due to the goals he has scored but I have heard their fans rave about the contribution made by Jamie Vardy so will not be suprised if he pips Nugent to the post. There are of course other contenders such as Kasper Schmeichael, Danny Drinkwater, Andy King and Anthony Knockeart who have all made massive contributions and are dark horses.

3. Worst Player

No idea probably Zoumana Bakayogo.

4. Overrated

Can't really overrate any of their players because they are all majorly unknown and under the radar. I suppose Konchesky is quite overrated as he is deemed the best left back in the league this season but we know he is not capable of stepping up in the Prem after his spell at Liverpool. Some people might also argue David Nugent is overrated but he has proven he can score goals, whether he can make the step up in the Prem again is another matter.

5. Underrated

Andy King - clubs highest goal-scoring midfielder in 130 years and he is only 25. Pretty much their version of tim cahill but with the ability to score from long range.

Wes Morgan, Danny Drinkwater and Kasper Schemichal also made the Championship Team of the Year so deserve notable mentions.

@The Size Of A Cow Fulham

1. Do I like them?

As the saying goes, there's only one F'in Fulham. They're very meh. Fairly inoffensive on the whole but with an air of stale gash which can be largely attributed to their famed statue of a certain singer with a questionable private life, a succession of seriously terrible players and a smattering of melts who are far far worse than they realise. I'm looking at you, Steve Sidwell.

They also have a few complete bells - notably Luis 'spitting, race-card playing dead snake' Boa Morte, and Scott Parker of 'I'm moving to Newcastle, they're a huge club' fame. Former kopite melt Riise as well.

Fulham seem to have a real passion for spunking lots of money on A-grade shyte (Steve Marlet anyone), and have a chequered history with managers who are either massive, massive helmets (Mark Hughes) or just hyper-gash, such as Jean Tigana or more recently Meulensteen.

I'm not over keen to be honest.

2. Best Player

Brede Hangeland largely plays ok whenever I see them, but beyond that I'm kind of struggling.

3. Worst Player

We've previous with Johnny Heitinga of course, but it would be harsh to judge him solely on his last year or so at Everton. Even that home game against Villa FFS. Darren Bent, Scott Parker and Damien Duff could all fit snugly into this category if it were slightly rebranded as 'biggest washed-up formerly OK mercenary'.

4. Overrated

Kieran Richardson. Once a media darling - not of the 'yeah he's good but stop going on about him now' type, more of the 'This is a name I can throw into an article who's just a little unfashionable because he's at West Brom, but I know who he is because of his Man United days. It'll make me seem all knowledgable.' He's just not all that good really. The kind of guy who'll catch a screamer a season and you'll go 'Oh yeah, I forgot he was there'. And Danny Murphy will go on Match of the Day 2 that night with an in depth analysis about all the clever runs he makes. 'Yeah, yeah he uses the space so well'. Then he'll do the square root of fook all for the next 18 months before moving another rung down the career ladder. Overrated is right.

5. Underrated

Tough one for me because I've been told they have some quality kids coming through ready to make a move to the Spurs bench, but I haven't seen a great deal of them to pass comment really. Colour me stumped.
