This is the Servet guy I was talking about, entertainer and very fast.

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.

If Brum made him agree that he could not take any of their players for a year then we don't have a problem.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

After my last effort I have been approached by Pompey to design their next year kit as they feel I will be cheaper.

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?

Georgie Porgies at Tower Park........Got food poison from the butter chicken curry, avoid at all costs guys.

After watching that clip, it's surprising how the goalies never had gloves but they still got on with it in the snow.

First mentioned by a **** take twitter agent so I doubt it's true.

Its that wide collar that's going to surprise people!

Still waiting :/

So can someone PM me the link please. thanks

I think some people won't mind it.

Now he's in Tesco buying some envelopes, blimey this could be a deal that's on.

Someone from Bolton said we have done a 3m deal for one of there players. Saw it on forum of there's last night, an English name!

Not if we have set a deadline he won't.

Im not so sure as it looks abit messy.

I expect his agent has already sorted out the deal with us and that we need JRod in for his medical and final signature before he can fly back to Mexico. What's 48 hours away from your holiday when you can come back with a good 500k in your back pocket as players get a percentage of the transfer fee.

Another runners up for me.

Sorry I have just seen the other thread. Will change it to defensive concerns as IMHO we need Goalie, CB, RB & LB as they get skinned too easy. It takes time to gel a new back four so this could be the only worry I have this season, scoring goals will be fun!

With Paul Lambert & Rogers leaving Norwich and Swansea this will surely help Saints this season, I'm pretty sure they won't attract a real quality manager that will help them survive this season. This leaves us to better Reading & West Ham to hold our own in the big league. IMHO Cortese will give Adkins till Xmas and we will need to be around 12th otherwise he will bring a proven Premiership manager as he has massive plans for this club.
