Nobodies sayings the boys world class......but i certainly dont think he lacks skill.......seems to have a good football brain and doesnt usually need an extra touch to get a ball under control...........in todays times a big old fashioned centre forward like Carroll is going to spend most of his time with his back to goal so there touch has to be good........with good service i think he could be a 20+ goals a season striker regularly.........but its whether he gets the service and sides play to his strengths.

Sad for the chap whos been killed and his family etc....................but lets face it,if he wasnt a copper it wouldnt even of made the news..................i accept and respect the fact they do a tough and dangerous job........but personally i dont put more value on a plods life than id put on any other member of society.

Im no Arsenal fan......but in fairness,every year people say that.....and every year they finish top 3 or 4 I think this could be a horrible season for English football......i can see City mopping up everything and leaving 3 or 4 clubs scratching round for the runners up spots.
-
I agree..................also,in an instance like this with Carroll it kind of softens the blow of making a bad signing when you know you havent got to pick up the players wages because he can try and win the title with another team that you bought him to win for you !!..............Not that West Ham will be challenging for the title but you get my drift.....................and then whenever it suits ask for him back......theoretically Wayne Rooney could be loaned out to Chelsea and win the Premiership with them,then go back and with it with Utd next year. I think the only loans that should b

Have you ever been to Tottenham High Rd !! It dont take a clever person to see this forced multicultral shit was always going to cause war in the streets at some stage.................just seems a shame to me that its a tribe of joe dakies inititating it instead of these proud and aggressive edl boys.

It was at Borehamwoods ground Wilf Meadow Park ....nice little ground actually.....we normally play Grays pre season but dont think they are this year,Southend next,then Colchester and off to Germany.................. Personally i think this whole loaning premier league players to other premier league clubs should of been banned years ago.................but certainly wouldnt turn my nose up at Carroll.
-
The way we played tonight Roy Carroll will do at centre forward let alone Andy Carroll !!
-
Mark my words..............Andy Carroll is coming down to the East End Come on you Irons !!! We got a 1-1 draw with Borehamwood tonight

Bang on word for word

Things must be tough if you cant spare a few 1 pence pieces !

Simoman i understand exactly what your saying.......but i remind you that this above was what you originally said..............." would we class boxing as a sport " .......the only difference between 200 years ago and today is a pair of gloves....................thats not " heavily censored and rule laden "...................and saying the introduction of the Queensbury Rules means its a " shadow of its former self " and a " watered down version of bareknuckle " etc...................................is a bit like saying an American Pit Bull Terrier is a watered down version of a British Bulld
-
Your making silly comparisons between totally different sports,are you aware your not allowed to kick or elbow in boxing .......Yes James Toney a washed up former boxing champion was beaten by a world champion and all time great ufc fighter...................but i say again......who and where are the washed up ufc fighters fighting world champion all time great boxers ? The fact that plenty of boxers have gone straight into mma at a high level.......but no mma fighters have gone straight into boxing at a high level.......should answer your question for you
-
Its one of the useless bits of information stored away in my head but im positive when slugs come into contact with copper they get a small electric shock.....it doesnt kill them so you wont need to scrape up mank of any sort it just encourages them to go somewhere else.....pretty sure you can buy copper strips you could put around plants pots etc,if not chuck a load of pennies down !
-
Using an example to keep it simple............ Dana White the overall big chief of the UFC,threatening and dictating to the the worlds greatest fighter about how he must and must not fight ........in order to make things more entertaining for the crowd. Entertainment is about fun and enjoyment.............Competition is about winning or losing regardless of fun and enjoyment.
-
" Boxing is a watered down version of bareknuckle " ..............150 years of history and tradition.............................Some things are just not worth debating. Agree about ufc......it sold out on itself
-
Ive heard it all now......ive got some very strange concepts on sport,because im not interested in listening to sportsmen talk !!! He is NOT paid to entertain...........If he plays a tennis match but doesnt talk afterwards he gets paid............if he doesnt play a tennis match but has a 5 minute talk he does NOT get paid !!!.................He is a professional tennis player NOT a paid public speaker. Sadly in this day and age of dopey old women sports fans who want to hear the gossip and create a personal character of an athlete who they will never meet or speak to.....we have worl

Hundreds..............literally.........some when they win some when they lose........ The heat of battle and the release of tension after it is maybe something you,ll only understand if you,ve experienced it.
-
Dont feel sorry for people like me mate,i was born into boxing and i,ll die with it..............for me a few idiot characters dont ruin what is still the purest form of competition there is.......ufc is entertainment......boxing is competition.......the reality is sometimes a competetive fight just isnt all that exciting.......look at how some of the early ufc fights with fighters like Shamrock/Gracie etc played out.....30 minutes of not particularly interesting grappling for position on the floor......BUT thats how fighting is sometimes its not all that exciting.........i dont care for excit

How many ufc fighters have boxed professionally ?...........seeing as boxings where the moneys at logic would tell you if they could.....they would........ A few washed up pro boxers have gone into mma and fought at a high level......where are the washed up mma fighters that have gone into boxing and fought at a high level ?
-
My point being Simoman.....folk like yourself say this and that about boxing and how the " rules have changed ".......your wrong,boxing never sold out on its morals like the ufc did..... The Marquess of Queensbury Rules were set in 1867...............not one of the major 12 rules does not still apply today......the sport has lasted near 150 years without change.........ufc lasted about 3 years !! http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/spring03/bueneventura/rules.htm

What has war in Iraq got to do with a tennis match !!!...................what a ridiculous thing to say................if your mate wants to cry then fine if he dont so what it shows nothing whatsoever about a mans character or ability whether he cries or not !
-
No........paying fans should be going to watch a game of tennis............and its his job to play tennis not talk...........................................and if you want to hear what a highly emotional athlete has to say 2 minutes after the heat of battle then dont be surprised if he doesnt come across as " a nice man "
-
Apart from the amount of rounds now being limited to 12.............the sport of boxing hasnt changed in over 100 years !.......................ufc is barely recognisable from what it started off as,a mere 20 years ago.
-
If you market something as " a real fight "....then thats what it should be.........................as Simoman says that quickly changed due to outside pressure,ok you accept that to a point..........................but to then take that to the point of telling a world champion he cant fight a certain way because its not entertaining enough.......i think is the time it risks not even being a sport !
