I agree with this in a way.....its like anything you invent that becomes popular,it ends up where everyone else passes you by ! As a nation we are a small in size footballing nation yet because of our reputation etc we are expected to be top of the tree.....look at this world cup,the sport has become huge globally,even nations not really known for football are becoming just as big as us....the asian and african sides not to mention the south americans have become great football nations simply because of the popularity of the sport....to the point where size IS making a difference.....when a s

My tennis knowledge is very limited,but is Murray not going to need to be getting a higher % of first serves in if he is to reach the final ? Surely it must do your confidence good to know your first serves are going in,could he not slow it down 15 % to make sure more go in rather than having to slow it down 50 % on a second serve.... maybe i should stick to what i know

I would like to see Harry Redknapp get the job but i dont think the FA will give it him,simply because he has a bit of scandal in his background what with the betting buiseness....i think the FA would rather have a squeaky clean character even if he is not as good as a manager...which is another one of our problems as a nation we are more worried about giving off the wrong impression than picking the best man for the job.....look at the Argies,they picked a proven drug taking cheat to manage their national side because he was the best man for the job.....our FA havent got the bottle to do that

So..........when a team is 2 goals down with 20 minutes to go and MUST score to stay in a knockout competition...you bring a man on ( heskey ) who has a proven record of NOT scoring goals when on the bench you have a man with a proven scoring record ( crouch )...then with 10 minutes to go you bring on a right winger and play him at right back ( wright phillips )....well yes,what a tactical master !! The fact he has had success at club level means nothing he has NEVER managed at international level,the man cannot communicate and treats professional athletes like naughty children....thats witho

I had the same conversation earlier,but hindsite is a great thing to have......can you imagine if Capello had taken the likes of Walcott,Johnson,Wiltshire,Gibbs plus a whole bunch of other in form fresh youngsters....and left Lampard,Gerrard,Rooney,Terry etc etc at home....and we got beat 4-1 by the germans and looked awful throughout the competition,everyone would have been saying is Capello nuts leaving our biggest stars at home !! A few players like Green,Upson,Heskey etc yes i agree with you.....but regardless,Capello was simply not 6 million pounds worth of managerial genius like we w

Spain are a class act,if they can get it together i can see them running out comfortable winners.Wouldnt be surprised if it go,s to pens.With Spain winning hopefully.
-
No i killed her stone dead as a matter of fact ....as you say,only a bit of banter eh..... And when your Scottish and talking about professional sport i understand you have to have a sense of humour so my mistake im sorry
-
This is the same Roy Keane who walked out on his fellow man and went home in a sulk during the biggest tournament of his sporting life ....Maybe Mr.Keane should keep his opinions to himself on things that dont concern him,what does he know about being a top class manager,nothing....what does he know about world cup squads,nothing. If a manager picks the complete wrong players,cannot speak the language,treats grown men like naughty children and is totally tactically clueless making bad decisions.....id say no matter how shit the players were he is as responsible for being an overpaid pric

Absolutely right it hurts....as a passionate football fan who follows my team around the country week in week out,as a proud Englishman,as someone who built their hopes up that we would do well.....absolutely right it hurts..... As for a bunch of neighboring nations who rarely get to the footballing world stage taking the piss out of us....no that doesnt hurt at all,its quite funny.......it kind of reminds me of one of those little Yorkshire Terriers that keeps nipping away at your ankles and you have to turn round and give it a boot every now and then.....it waits a while,then comes back
-
Spot on.....i like your outlook on sport mr.johnnyboy you see things for what they are and dont get carried away with all the character assasination most folks do when it comes to sports stars,its very refreshing. As for Murray...im certainly no tennis expert but thats sometimes the thing about true sporting talent.....its clear and obvious even to the untrained eye......best of luck to him.
-
Think your possibly getting a teeny weeny bit carried away with the puffing your chest out bit mate.....believe me ive looked enough men in the eye to know whats real and whats not i dont really need an explanation from someone on the internet My point was just because a lad can hit a tennis ball hard dont impress me one little bit when it comes to anything else and tennis is a posh rich kids sport so very unlikely Mr.Murray is at ease with physical confrontation but who knows,more to the point who cares he,s a tennis player
-
What has the English football team got to do with Scottish tennis players ? ....you jocks are even bitter and twisted when your athletes are getting compliments ...maybe you should concentrate on what your athletes can do well instead of scratching round trying to find what others do badly.....then again i suppose the first options not an easy thing to do .....your a strange bunch

I understand a little bit about psycology but i didnt say im a qualified psychiatrist.....and by the sound of it.....you need one ...... But in my admitted unqualified opinion......id say you have done a shit in your pants.
-
Psycology again.....often when somebody knows not what to say they resort to wit to deflect the embarrassment without losing face...... Bless ya its quite sweet really.
-
Not sure who thats directed at but " stewie " dont even sound like Gnasher or Johnnyboy ! Then again you cant expect under 12,s to be able to read properly so your forgiven
-
In all fairness Murray looks the sort of lad you would only need to shout at and he would roll up in a ball,a bit like Henman....i guess its just a posh poncey tennis thing. That said the kid Murray can certainly smash a ball your right,i have doubts about his character if go,s behind a set or 2....but i,ll be hoping he go,s far this year he has great talent.

Well....i never knew the Huntinglife now had an under 12,s section !

The only possible entertainment of the depressingly bad England displays over this tournament is listening to the Scottish,Welsh and Irish and then realising just how jealous,poisoned and hurt they all are that they are the overspill of Britain.....its like listening to a divorced couple where the husband keeps constantly trying to rattle the wife,calling her names,trying to get under her skin....but she doesnt give a f**k because the little man means nothing to her Do your psycology lads.....hate is a feeling,just like love..........when/if Scotland,Ireland,Wales play in the world cup i wi

This is correct,Lenny didnt really cash in on the fight game until Joey Pyle,Roy Shaw etc started putting on the unlicensed bouts.....thats not to say he didnt have them,they were just not very well known about.Lenny was fighting people for money ( bareknuckle ) for years before the unlicensed shows and was never beaten,the only time he lost fights was with gloves on.I believe Lenny could have been a national level boxer but no further,he just didnt have the discipline and self control needed.Anyone who has ever been in a ring knows the nervous energy that has to be controlled,well Lenny could

No im the voice of myself...." we " being other English people of a similar thinking...... Stop trying to pick an argument where theres not one mate

Very good post......i used to find it fascinating,virtually from the minute thay opened their eyes i would be on them studying them for long parts of the day,from the tiniest of things like the first one to rise and the last one to fall....the most aggressive,the most confident......the hard part is when the mentally strongest pup is not the best made pup structurally..... When you are culling unwanted pups its absolutely essential to select the best pups from a litter and if they are working/performance type dogs then it pays to take your time,jot down notes and choose with your head not you

[quote name='huggy' date='24 June 2010 - 06:14 PM' timestamp='1277399655' post='1607921' little man syndrome? before you type about the english premier league and i use the word english very loosely many foreigners are playing in the premier league ? it would be easier to count the english players And what about before the premier league,when English teams like Liverpool Man Utd Forest etc etc were winning the european cup on a regular basis ??.....this was a great league before the foreigners turned up,just happens to be a rich great league now that attracts the greatest players in

No course your entitled to an opinion....like i said,i just find it funny how as soon as the topic " England.....World Cup " come into view some folks eyes light up and the piss taking starts,now ive no problem with piss taking but coming from countries who cant compete.......i just find funny. Some folk such as yourself give sensible knowledgable views and thats great.....but most speak with the heart instead of the head

Well considering the topic of this thread was in Barking.....Barking being in Essex.....Essex being in England....i would imagine WE means English people would you !....try to keep up son !

If Alex Ferguson could get Man Utd through the group stage of the champions league by playing terribly,he would be happy in that there is clearly better to come. The old saying about picking up points when your playing bad,is what England have just done.....so im optimistic. That said i think Argentina,Spain and Brazil are the teams we cant beat even at our best.....and we will meet the Argies or Spain if we beat Germany,i think. Holland and Italy are always strong but i think its the spanish speaking countries that are leading the way in world football at the moment.
