Just saw a picture of some of the legends at their Christmas get together.
Brilliant to see Alan Hansen out and well.
Also there was Steve McMahon.
It really brought back some brilliant memories for me of that late 80's team.
I know the game has moved on but how I would love to see a McMahon, Souness type midfielder in our current side.
Outstanding players but also the mentality, drive, determination, standards and effort they would demand.
One can dream!

McMahon was one of my favourite players, he gave his all in every game . I bumped into him bfr we signed him from Aston Villa outside villa's ground n said when are you signing . he said back he can't talk about that n started laughing n gave me a thumbs up . we signed him soon after that . brilliant player.

A souness would be the perfect Christmas present for this side.

Wouldnt mind Palinha as a stopgap.
17 Dec 2025 11:24:41
@ItsSaulGravy, we really should have signed him 2 years ago. Exactly the type we needed and still need.
Type of player that sets the example and then others follow!

@ItsSaulGravy, Palhinha is a cart horse. You can’t have seen how awful he’s been at Bayern and Spurs. We need a defensive midfielder but not one who can barely run and who has the first touch of an axe murderer.
17 Dec 2025 12:51:06
Viktor, I take it you're not too impressed with Palhinha. ?
And worryingly familiar with the touch of axe murderers. ??.
17 Dec 2025 12:58:30
You do talk some rubbish sometimes Viktor!
17 Dec 2025 13:34:25
Nah, palinha is not that good though, Viktor is right. Reminds me of Soucek ?.

VV like you, I never rated Palhinha at all even when many of our fans were feening for him a couple of yesr back. Never understood his hype so Im glad others are seeing it now. Grav is levels above him.
{Ed025's Note - to be honest Oli Grav has not been up to much either lately mate..

Which part of what I said is untrue SalmonMonk? Palinha has the pace and turning circle of a cruise ship, the fact that his second touch is usually a tackle because first touch is so awful says enough.
Bayern couldn’t wait to get shot of him he was so awful, and he’s usually in the thick of it when things go spursy at spurs.
17 Dec 2025 15:50:41
Palhinha can't even get in the Spurs team.
17 Dec 2025 17:05:43
He started the game before last vs. Slavic Prague and was subbed on against Forest.
17 Dec 2025 17:48:28
He hasn't started the last 3 league games for a team that is 11th in the table.

Ed25, Im talking about actual talent and ability of each player in my comparison. Even Tom Davis had good days, mate.
{Ed025's Note - not many mate..
