Emmanuel Adebayor

[Mister E]

Not bothered about Adebayor.
Berbatov is a very different player, probably deployed in a withdrawn striker / #10 role.

[Steve kirk]

Adebayor is a top player but not sure he is required if Berbatov is coming to VP unless of course one of Kozak/Gabby are going out which could well be happening.

Taking Kozak out of the squad would be mad, IMO. He offers some variation up front.

I prefer "div". "Joey" sounds like an insult used by someone who has watched too much Neighbours/Home and Away. And by "too much" I mean "any".

This really is a kick in the bollocks offence. joey predates Neighbours/Home Away or any type Aussie soap shite. You really have let yourself down here. You div.

Anyway, div refers more to an action of a person whereas joey normally refers to a speech error.

Didn't 'Joey' come from Joey Deacon/Blue Peter in the very early eighties? That is as I remember it from junior school.

[Risso]

Precisely that, Joey Deacon indeed.

[OzVilla]

Precisely that, Joey Deacon indeed.

Correct. Do kids still use the term "having a Benny" for anyone having a massive strop?

A similar evolution into language as the "Joey" term.

[Damo70]

I think the two most used insults as I was coming to end of my time in junior school were 'Joey' and 'Bummer'. Although I do remember calm down being replaced by 'Don't have a Benny'.

[UK Redsox]

Blimey, Joey Deacon. There's a name I haven't heard for years

[Damo70]

The icing on the top of the politically incorrect cake was calling someone a 'Joey Muh' in reference to his attempt at speech.

Another massive insult at school I remember was calling someone a Spaz which was replaced by pleb.

Kids can be so cruel.

[peter w]

Remember Cambo? For Cambodian?

[OzVilla]

Or "Jimmy Chin" as you scratch you chin if you were accusing someone of outrageous bullshitting / something to do with Jimmy Hill I always thought.

[AV82EC]

I went to school with Joey Deacon (minor claim to fame).

Spacka and Mong were pretty big in my day too.

[Damo70]

It was 'Itchy Beard' at my school. I remember Newman and Baddiel calling it 'Chinny Reckon'.
