Come on then, it's been a while since we've discussed Tony Adams' philosophy;

"A teams' not a team until you have at least 7 players prepared to fight the opposition in the tunnel."

Who are our seven that we could count on if it all kicked off at half time?

Veltman - obviously
Van Hecke
Joao Pedro - definitely got an edge to him
Dunk?

Who else is getting right involved?

I feel like Baleba would just be dancing in the background of any footage, having a great time. I love him.

Not Veltman. He's shitehouse and clever but his temperament is way too cool and controlled for him to get involved in some meaningless scrap.

Dunk, Van Hecke, Webster, Pedro, MMArch, Diego Gomez and I think Rutter has that inside him as well despite his happy looks.

I reckon Minteh would get stuck in.

Baring in mind how big he is you'd hope Igor would be up for it but he always seems quite a happy guy in the videos so maybe he wouldn't.

Ferguson is a unit and he's irish so must love a bit of a ruck.

Ayari?

A lot of our team like falling down nowadays so maybe we're going to struggle to get a solid 7.

Naaah. Ayari is dead inside, in a good way. You can kick him down a dozen times and he'll just get on with the football, undisturbed by what the opponents try to do. Think if some opponent was looking for a fight with him in the tunnel, he'd just give a "what do you want you weirdo" look in response.

You’ve got it all wrong. We would never need seven, Velts would go in a la ninja style take the whole opposition out, smile at the ref, put him his arm round him and say “Alright mate”. The ref would then think Joel is such a nice chap and invite him out for a drink. :thumbsup: :drink:

Seems a little overkill given he secretly poisoned their team before heading to the tunnel. But it sounds like something for Netflix!
