Tottenham keeper gets the crowd going with a Chas ‘n’ Dave classic

Prior to Tottenham’s 2-1 victory at Slavia Prague last week, Paul Robinson earned his place in the good books of Spurs fans by starting a chant of “Spurs are on their way to Wembley…” When the crowd request an encore, he obliges with a rousing rendition of “Stand up if you hate Arsenal…”

In an age of mega-bucks contracts and low levels of loyalty, how refreshing to see a player establish this kind of rapport with the fans.

Who knows, if he can work up a similar level of popularity with the Spurs management, they might even let him play a game…

Editor’s note: the video is titled ‘England’s No. 1 conducting the famous Yid Army in Prague’. Please ignore this error - David James does not feature at all.

crap keeper, crap fans, crap songs -

although in crap keeper’s defence, that’s the best kick he’s ever managed.

Herdee - you clearly are quite blinkered. If there is one decent thing about Robinson’s game, it’s his kicking (when he avoids the bobbles!). His distribution is second-to-none amongst goalkeepers in the premier league and possibly in the world, he has pinpoint accuracy. The problem has been his handling, his decision-making and his long-distance shot-stopping (Spurs conceded more goals from outside the box than any other team in the PL in 2007).

Poor old herdee string. Can’t find hi way to his own teams site and/or can’t find anything worthwhile for his carer to read on it. Must be sad to wander through life in limbo.
