  1. Lutalo Muhammad was chosen in the end and he's ranked no 9 in his own weight but he has dropped down a weight to get in the Aaron Cook category as his was not chosen. He's ranked 59 in the lighterweights.
  2. Got the kit myself as a car ran over mine, everything was going okay as I put the glass back in but it turned out it had done too much damage already. I took it to Apple who swap the phone over for a new one but charged me £80 in the end for another 3gs. Since got the new Samsung (which I don't like)
  3. I heard that we have three shirts that are made up to choose, got a feeling that the club have let this one leak to throw us away from the real one. Totally surprised they used a female model last week as its not our style. The massive posters around the stadium will again be Lambert, Lallana & some others with a caption 'The Southampton Way' in a fancy logo wording.
  4. According to two papers this morning it was 6m & he's on 25k a week.
  5. Madejski boss Brian McDermott faces a battle with Southampton over his £2.75m move for Watford defender Adrian Mariappa. Monday Sun
  6. I suppose England have better players on paper so you would be right there.
  7. and finally a video of when Aaron Cook beat the greatest Taekwondo expert ever in Mexico, Steven Lopez is in this years Olympics and nobody has seen his fight since the knockout last year. Watch the knock out as it was lucky but hard....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYB6TeYp3fc
  8. Also I have added the video of Lutalo Muhammad & Aaron Cook when they met in the semi this year and this is why the ranked number 53 has been chosen as he offers more head shots, infact he has the most points scored by a Taekwondo athlete this year.
  9. This is the Servet guy I was talking about, entertainer and very fast.
  10. Not at that weight it does not as he usually fights in the lighter class, because his weight is not selected by GB then he has to go up a weight to try take Cooks place.
  11. If Brum made him agree that he could not take any of their players for a year then we don't have a problem.
  12. To be honest with you the ranking system is ****, The Koreans & China are the very best but they never choose to fight outside the country so they don't get ranked.
  13. We had to decide what 4 weights we was going to put forward for GB last summer which gives athletes the time to lose or gain weight to have a chance of fighting. The 4 weights we went for was for our four best fighters at the time, although some other GB fighters have done well the chosen 4 came through in the end (except of the cook debate)
  14. Jade Jones has every chance of a medal, been superb all year but flopped at the recent Europeans though. Stamper a brilliant Taekwondo athlete but he won't beat the Turkish guy Servet as he is truly amazing, all his fighters run off the mat now. Sarah Stevenson has not fought all year as she done her ligaments in but she is the darling of Taekwondo, her training has been good but nobody knows how she will do? It would be a great story of she does win as she lost both her parents in the last year. Overall I predict a silver & maybe a sneeky gold from Sarah.
  15. Interesting point & totally true what you say. If Mr Joe Bloggs aged 12 was amazing at a sport in this country then they would struggle to find finance support & sponsorships to help pay for development. In most countries the government would make sure they get support to make them future champions. I once fought for Britain in the World Championships, I had to give back the tracksuit afterwards and pay most of my own fare to Spain, The Americians got free tracksuits, blazers, fighting equipment, free accomadation & flight etc... says it all really.
  16. I'm glad to read the views of some of you. The panel from British Taekwondo includes the world ranked no 53 coach, also Sarah Stevenson's coach (who supports the GB setup) also two guys that were upset when Cook quit. I can understand their reason because of that but the guy chosen did beat Cook this year & is the fastest risen talent in Taekwondo for 2012. He is currently European champion for his weight but in the Olympics he is stepping up a weight to take Cook's place.
  17. After my last effort I have been approached by Pompey to design their next year kit as they feel I will be cheaper.
  18. Anyone want to talk about it? It's making big news at the moment as the panel are choosing a ranked 53 over the No 1 brit called Aaron Cook, Discuss?
  19. Georgie Porgies at Tower Park........Got food poison from the butter chicken curry, avoid at all costs guys.
  20. After watching that clip, it's surprising how the goalies never had gloves but they still got on with it in the snow.
  21. First mentioned by a **** take twitter agent so I doubt it's true.
  22. Its that wide collar that's going to surprise people!
