Good old JP !

[Tac-tics]

Does anyone know who JP supports?

Brizzle City

Brizzle City

 

yeah if you watch later he describes being manager of Bristol City as one of the biggests jobs in football:smt082

Interestingly, 4-4-2 had Beckford as the 3rd best player in the football league.

Lambert was 30th.

A. F*cking. Joke.

[St Landrew]

JP tells a story of growing up, going to footy with his Dad and watching Pompey from the stands of Fratton Park..! Where did I hear that..? Late Kick Off, of course.

 

I'll forgive him for that, and he's still the best current football commentator for my money, although Kris Temple is a cracking radio football commentator.

 

Anyway, I digress. Nice to hear some sensible comment in the debate of who's best, Lambert or Beckford. I would have thought it a no-brainer, myself.

I have my rose-tinted spectacles on here - but I think Rickie Lambert is a friggin' marvel - a top-notch, superb, wonderful striker & someone who will turn out to be an absolute legend during his time at Southampton Football Club. I love the bloke to bits and I am eternally grateful to ML for funding the £1million to bring him here. He is the best striker in League 1 bar none - and I am 100% confident that he will do an equally good job as & when we make the step up to the Championship.

Lambert all day long!

 

Scores more

Better link-up play

Superior fitness

Stronger

Better discipline

Better workrate

Of course it dawned on me when JP said he asked a couple of people their opinions one a defender and one a striker who he might be talking about. I reckon they sit quite close to JP on a monday night;)

Theres' only one way to find out.......

When you're talking about best player as opposed to striker, then Lambert may not make the top 10. However, to say that Beckford is number 3 is ridiculous.

Fight? To be honest Rickies a big lad and as Beckford will fall down like his been shot before any contact is made. I think Lambert gets it.

But Lambert would make the top 10 easy, as would Fonte.

A man after my own heart - always good to meet a fellow Harry Hill fan. :-)

[Wiltshire Saint]

Indeed, you don't meet many Harry Hill fans, what with the obscure scheduling of his programmes.

Top 10 in the football league? Fonte maybe, Spiderman maybe.

 

You have to remember players like Nolan, Danns, Ambrose, Maynard, Bogdanavic...... Lambert is quality as a striker, but not all-round player. - Football isn't about just scoring goals.

 

If he can produce something close to what he's doing now in the Champ, then I'd say top 10.

You are of course right, Lambert should not be in the top 10 football league players (yet).

However - Lambert is at least twice the player Beckford is, and yet the latter is third on the list. Go figure.

Media hype after that Old Trafford goal.... has to be (?)

[Saints foreva]

Think it was in the Daily Echo before our game with Leeds that Lambert has had much less shots this season than Beckford but still I hear people talk about Beckford being the best finisher in League One...

 

If Beckford hadn't scored those goals in the FA Cup (Lambert would have put those away vs Spurs) he wouldn't be mentioned. If he was more of a team player then Liverpool would have got smashed by Leeds in the Carling Cup earlier this season too.

I thought you meant the best in league 1. I agree but then but he is the best player in league one.

Fair enough, but I don't think he's the best player in our squad.
