Pavluchencko - was he given a fair run at Spurs

I watched the Russian game and thought that Pav had a great game once he came on.

Looking back over the stats, I saw the following:-

His Tottenham career up until this point had consisted of constantly being down the pecking order despite in the 2009–10 season having a better goals per minute ratio than all of his fellow strike partners in Jermain Defoe, Peter Crouch and Robbie Keane. The same went for the 2010–11 season when in March Pavlyuchenko had a minutes per goals ratio of 151 compared to competitors Jermain Defoe who had 208, Peter Crouch had 243 and Rafael van der Vaart had 161.[9] In December of the 2011–12 season, the striker had been restricted to just 18 minutes of Barclays Premier League football, until he came on against Sunderland F.C. and went on to score the only goal of the game in the 61st minute.

Personally I thought he carried a far greater threat than Crouch but only played in 78 games in his time at Spurs, scoring 21 goals. Crouch on the other hand played in 73 and scored only 12.

In a totally unrelated news story, I heard Daniel Levy has not creamed his jeans since I left WHL. Saha just makes Little Dan all floppy. lol

I mean, they might as well just call it "The Pavs" rather than persist with this "European Championships" nonsense.


Seriously, goal of the tournament or what? That goal had more sex on it than a Barry White record dipped in molten chocolate.

On the bench again eh ?

yep while the striker whos picked above him had 7 shots all of target wich is a record
then tonight again he dont shoot on target
should be dropped

and pav started most of the games leading up to the euros untill he got injuird

yeah pavs strike rate might have been ok but when we were behind and under pressure for goals pav disappeared much as i liked him and wanted him to do well

ye because defoe scores loads when he starts lol
defoe is 30 he only started to do extra training 2 season ago . the guy is bang averge and dont score aganst good teams

pav may be lazy i dont belive in strikers running around everywhere. they should be in the box
