The TTO: Sylvain Distin v Armand Traore
This week the Thursday Thigh Off heads to Portsmouth FC, where Sylvain Distin is limbering up to take on the young (but legal-ish) Armand Traore.
Throw on your best French designer goods and prepare to judge, Kickettes.
Sylvain Distin
Mr. Distin hails from Bagnolet in France. We have no idea where that is, but it reminds us of baguettes and that works for us; they’re one of our favourite carbs. Anyhoo, Sylvain is 31-years-old, stands at a macho manly 6’4”, and he’s a defender that likes to rough it up a bit on the pitch. We have yet to have it confirmed, but we’re sure he has the words, “Chocolate Thunder” tattooed somewhere on his body. Oh yes, we took it there.
Armand Traore
Armand’s a left back who’s been on loan from Arsenal since last summer. He’s definitely on our embryos to watch list. Why? Well, he’s 19-years-young. Born in Paris. And, he’s 6’1” of nearly-newborn muscle group goodness. Seriously, what vitamins is this man-child taking every morning? Baby needs an endorsement deal with Holland and Barrett, like yesterday.
Who gets your vote for the best legs in Portsmouth?

Which Inter Milan player won last week’s epic battle of all that is sinewy and good? Javier Zanetti, who fought hard for his win against Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Congrats Pupi, and commiserations, Ibrah.

Traore
Traore!!
Traore. A bit young for my taste otherwise, but the thighs… Also was very impressed by the Kung Fu in pic 5
Traore gets my votee !
Ooh this is close… I go for Traore
Ooh this is a tough one, gonna give it to Traore though.

Traore For Me.
Distin for me. Instead of a chocolate bunny or chocolate egg for Easter, can I have a chocolate Distin instead??
Traore
Who knew this would nearly as difficult as last weeks!? I keep staring. And staring.
I’m going w/ Distin’s delicious thighs. Yum.
Yay Pupi!!! Don’t worry Z, I’ll make you feel better.
Exactly! Come on you Portsmouth!
Distin. Chocolate Thunder, indeed.
They both make a decent case but Traore has such an irresistible tone of skin and is oh so cute. So Traore. And Play Up Pompey! haha

Armand Traoré
Oh dear, I'm a day late… I'm going to vote for <s>Gianluca Zambr</s> erm… yes those Portsmouth players they're who I'm supposed to be voting for. *attempts to tear her eyes off Zambrotta* Um. After careful consideration… I'm going for Traore. <s>my choice might have something to do with that Italian in the last picture</s> He has very nice Thighs.
Traore =)
Very close this one. I choose Distin.
Distin. But Traore's thighs will mature well, kinda like a fine French wine.
Traore.
Distin for me. Nice. lose that girl blog
Yay Pupi won! I'll be back after careful examination.
Last pic got me. Traor
Traore wins for me!
That last pic sealed it for Traore in my opinion!

Oh, I love the TTOs… The problem is that you’ll never accept the thighs of a "normal" guy after you’ve spent a few Thursdays here.
Ah, my vote! Traore has this one, both of them got some damn fine thighs though.
Traore!
Traore

Good game Distin, but, ah Traoré – those thighs are just super amazing!
