Im not talking about what they won with clubs Malt im talking about as individual players....as individuals i think it would be hard to say Wenger let them go while they was at the top of their game....i remember an Arsenal pal of mine saying for the last 2 years Henry was there they should get rid of him. Dont know maybe im wrong.....but i think Wengers very shrewd where money for players is concerned
-
Its a fair point....but i do think Wenger has a knack of letting players go at the right times from a purely footballing point of view....the 3 players you mentioned,did they ever again reach the heights they did at Arsenal,no.......but i get what your saying,to bring the youngsters along.Wenger has done everything on a budget,look at Henry he came to Arsenal for pennies as a left winger and left one of the worlds great strikers....Wenger is a chairmans dream,but as a simple football manager he should really be screaming out to his chairman for money to improve his squad.......for me Wenger ha

Having 42 clubs or whatever it is within a population the size of London doesnt help !!....Why the need for a further 3 divisions after the premier league is beyond me....if Inverness CT get gates of 3,000 and they are a mid table premier league side,simple logic tells you theres no need for a further 30 clubs behind them.....Scottish football is run more like sunday football and thats fine......but when yous get all hot under the collar about the money in English football you direct your anger at us down here instead of looking at your own game.....i mean,i could half understand if you was st

I couldnt agree more....if they had a couple of old fashioned English centre halfs and an Ian Wright type finisher they would be a very hard side to beat,they make so many chances in and around the box Ian Wright would be in his element. YOu look at the side on paper and theres not really any players you would swap for Utd or Chelseas equivalent player.....yet they are always up and around there....trouble i think they will have is unless they do buy a few players to finish the team off they are likely to lose kids like Ramsey/Wiltshire.....young kids want to be winning stuff not building for

Baw when you talk like this you remind me of a child trying to pick up a wet bar of soap !....Look,at risk of offending you,Scottish football is shit,you know that and i know that.....whether its beyond repair i dont know or indeed care very much.But people like you trying to drag the English game down just because your own game is shit is quite laughable,to then drag Spanish statistics into the argument to try to give your points some validity just reek of desperation ! One minute you want to debate what happens on a football pitch as facts,the next minute you want to debate what happens on

Just watched it....quite moving in parts i liked what Bobby Charlton said about being a very good friend,yet hundreds of others could say the same. My father fought on the same shows as Henry a number of times he said he " just wasnt like the rest of us "....knowing my ol fella like i do,that was a big compliment ....Henry had very basic values and was a straightforward decent man....sadly his kind are becoming rare.
-
I havent spoken to him for a few years,Jimmy Tibbs is a friend from years back i know he phones him occasionally just to make sure he,s still alive ...he turns 82 next month last i heard a few months back he,s not in the best of health so what with the recent sad losses in the sport its probably on the cards unfrotunately.
-
Personally i think its an area thing....i could name you at least 6 or 7 gyms within 2 square miles of East London....go to another area you wont find any....probably the same up Liverpool way some areas just maintain good traditions in boxing and some dont.The whole mma thing hasnt really taken off here for that reason,its more of a trendy thing.I do think theres too much rush these days to go into the pros but thats just the times we live in,20 years ago talented youngsters stayed amateur for much longer whereas today you have 18 year olds signing their careers away chasing fame and fortune
-
Ticket touts make far more at the actual events than anywhere else.....go up Leicester Square on any given day and you will find at least 20 touts standing outside the half price ticket booth,another 20 odd standing around the theatres.....same as at any big sporting event or concert. Just look how many folk go to big sporting events/concerts without tickets willing to pay anything.....thats where the real money is made on tickets.
-
Thats exactly what im saying Degale fought the wrong fight he simply continued their fight as amateurs instead of using what he,s learned in the pros......Degale knew he could hurt him but couldnt cut the ring down,Groves was giving him good angles but as a pro Degale should be able to get around that his footwork looked awful. I agree Groves shouldnt look back now though i think its clear neither of them will go to the very top so in reality a return is probably the biggest fight out there for him....as for Haye,Frank Warren has done more for British Boxing and British Boxers than Haye will
-
For me Degale gave that fight away he was never hurt and Groves was hurt 3 or 4 times but was still too tentative.He made the fatal mistake ive seen so many times in rematches.....he simply continued the last fight !....So many times fighters fall into the same pattern the first fight took and thats the big mistake Degale made....it was like an amateur fight for 10 rounds single shots and holding the distance....Degale never pressured Groves enough but fair play to Groves he stuck in and gutted it out Degale only has himself to blame. Personally i agreed with Jim Watts scoring i had them even
-
Was supposed to be there tonight but been feeling like shit last few days so gave my tickets away,just watched the Frankie Gavin fight he was poor,the boy Saunders looked good....Cleverly is up next i dont think he will have it all his own way....ive got a decent bet on Degale mid rounds in the main fight.
-
You can word it whatever way you like mate......they SHOULD be able to have it both ways......the fact that some folk are obssessed with what a footballer does when he,s not playing football dont make it right....i say again,our f****d up society has a lot more to answer for than wealthy young lads doing what wealthy young lads do

gnasher16 replied to earth&hounds's topic in General Talk
Id like to see Wolves stay up.....Wigan and Blackpool to go down. -
Nice romantic theory.....the reality is...... he just wasnt !
-
Absolutely,and whats the old saying.....never gamble more than you can afford to lose !......if your thinking of shares for anything more than a bit of fun,get someone who knows exactly what they are doing to advise you,or it can be a costly little exercise.
-
Better in a one off match or better over a long season ? I think in a one off game yes they are technically superior.....over a long hard season no i dont think Barcelona or Real Madrid could win our premier league on the regular basis Man Utd/Chelsea do.....i think folk underestimate just what it takes to go away to Bolton/Stoke/Blackburn etc on a cold wet Tuesday evening....Arsenal have proved over the last few years they are not comfortable doing that and they are laced with these frilly technically great players,personally i think Barcelona would struggle in our league in exactly the same
-
I think its more a case of the men in charge up there know that if Celtic/Rangers came down here it would put an end to Scottish football and it would virtually become a national sunday league. Personally id love them to come down,not to shut you jocks up once and for all,but simply because i accept they are 2 very big football clubs and if they could reach the premier league they could make it even more competetive.
-
No thats fair comment i take your point....but i still think to write Beckham off the way you do is wrong,whether you think he,s the best or not theres no denying he,s one of the best. Personally id say the greatest English footballer ive ever seen is still Bobby Moore....not because he was West Ham and not because he lifted the World Cup,infact i only saw him play towards the end of his career,but from what older folk tell me who saw him play and from everything ive ever watched or listened to,i dont believe theres been better.....but thats just my opinion your right and thats the beauty of

....I cant be bothered mate......i say again.....you are making silly comparisons.... Its like saying if a pussy cat was bigger it could eat a lion !....a pussy cat is a pussy cat and a lion is a lion,lets leave it at that.
-
How many full games did you see him play ? or did you just watch the odd highlights.....shit dont take it from me take it from your man Fergie.....said at his peak he was the greatest player of the generation he played. Gazza was a genius yes.....for a short time,does that make him a better player than a player at the top for a long time consistently playing to a high level....not in my book....infact id put Bryan Robson way above Gazza.
-
....so lets have it right,you think a man who although a genius,was a flash in the pan genius who never played at the highest level for very long.....is a superior player to a man who played at the highest level his entire career,gained far more England caps,played for the WORLDS top teams. Just a brand name and dead ball specialist ....yeah,cos he only became one of the highest paid athletes in the world and best known sporting figures of our generation by slipping into a spice girl and taking free kicks !!! Im not sure he,s the greatest English player ive ever seen......but he,s not
-
It always cracks me up when you hear a mans bias and loyalty come into a debate ....loyalty to your club is to be admired but not when it clouds your judgement.....im as loyal to my club as the next man but it dont stop me being realistic and admitting who and what we are.We beat Man Utd 4 nil this season did it stop us going down ? no....does it mean we are as good a side as Man Utd ? no.....we can all use certain results and situations to make claims but on the bigger picture simple common sense dicates and if you think Celtic or Rangers can compete with Man Utd,Chelsea,Liverpool,Arsenal o

Gnasher they WANT us too know all about there lives and HOW GREAT THEY ARE , i agree its pathetic but you cant have it both ways mate when it suits , PAUL SCHOLES goes about his life the right way NO PUBLICITY OR FREAK SHOW , at times i think how STUPID are these people , he is 1 off the most Famous sports man around , with all the ADULATION he gets AND ENCOURAGES did he think this wouldnt be headline news Good Or Bad these people will get the headlines and if they dont knpow that there livin in cloud cuckoo land One of the plus points in reaching the top of your profession is tha
