For me its a 25 yarder he curled in for Norwich followed up with a knee slide celebration directly at Ealing road. Oh and add the fact that he's an odious little c**t who loves a dive and is always in the refs ear. Shame cos he can play a bit

And then cupping his ear to the Ealing Road faithful. Boy did he get some dogs abuse.

Whilst he’s an annoying little fecker, there’s not many ‘characters’ in the game these days so it’s almost refreshing when you do get the odd one, even a pantomime villain type.

Tbf, I was quite amused when he did his tongue-in-cheek 'put the ball down outside the corner quadrant' trick

Great player & character. Unlucky not to have more England caps.

He’s certainly capable of controlling a game but depends on your definition of great. There are plenty of players around equally capable who don’t find it necessary to cheat and be generally unpleasant.
I find little to like about him. Would I want him playing for us? No. Yes we do have players capable of a bit of play acting, Ivan for one. It’s not something I like about the modern game but it’s unfortunately part and parcel of it.
He takes it to a whole new level though. That and the continual attempts to get in the refs ear. It’s interesting that his international career hasn’t really taken off. Perhaps Southgate isn’t keen on his antics either.

Yes, that was a nice touch from him. Hearing all the abuse as he trotted over to the corner, knowing that he wouldn't get away with it as the linesman was standing right over it, but still did it anyway, to get the inevitable response from the West Stand. Fair play to him, the obnoxious little so-and-so!

Yeah - that was pretty much my reaction!

One of the few players I would sit and have a beer with. Purely based on wanting to know if that pitch persona is really him.

Apparently the Bournemouth fans were chanting "Southgate's right, You're f***ing sh*te"

A player all opposing fans love to hate but they all would love him playing for their team. He has been very good for Spurs so far.

Sorry. Really wouldn't want him playing for us. It would mean we have discarded all the values that have made us the club we are.

Lol he sounds relaxing company!! Does he try to eat more roast potatoes than the kids??! I still like Maddison but having read that snippet I will not go for a roast dinner with him if I end up adopting him. Thanks for pointing it out Chomp.

Something for Ivan to learn from? He only wants to be the main man in his position but Maddison knows he has to model that mindset across his life.

A somewhat unpopular opinion around these parts but I actually quite like him…. We gave him dogs abuse the other day and he kind of played up to it (particularly liked him moving the ball deliberately from the corner D and then smiling as the west stand went into meltdown).

Fans give it to players sometimes, I have no issue when they give it back (as long as it doesn’t cross the line).

He’s also a very good player.

This appears to be his [limited] party trick at every away stadium he plays at!
