ottery st mary Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 He will be a star alongside Lambert or Jay Rod... Opposing teams will find his pace , movement , directness and determination:) very hard to deal with. Look forward to seeing this player light up the Premier league.

jawillwill Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 4.7b people watching? Wow... Big big market to explore commercially!

Saint Mikey Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 I can only assume they use different billions to us....probably one or two extra zeros from what we would use. There were not 4.7b watching us. Indeed that would mean only approx. 1.3bn in the whole world, weren't watching us! I'm sure there's still over 1.3bn without access to a TV, or at least satellite...

Mr_Red Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 4.7b people watching? Wow... Big big market to explore commercially! Yeah... I didn't realise three quarters of the world's population lived in Zambia - puts China to shame! (I guess they could still refer to a billion as a million and vice-versa - I think we did the same back in the day?) I confess I thought it was a normal Daily Mail article to start with... But the spelling was too good for that. Looking forward to seeing the guy have a run-out though, hopefully some end product as well as pace and muscle.

JPTCount Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 good find "His rating was the worst average on the Southampton lovely passing team for whom England hopeful Rickie Lambert who scored and created impressive midfielder Morgan Shneiderlin’s goal was rated highest." best sentence ever!

The9 Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 Kudos for enthusiasm though, certainly. To have been successful against Man U all he needed was to have grown about a foot, developed a completely different style of play overnight, and had 8 of the other players on the pitch not play like they were completely knackered for 15 minutes. This is not a criticism of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenue Saint Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 (edited) To have been successful against Man U all he needed was to have grown about a foot, developed a completely different style of play overnight, and had 8 of the other players on the pitch not play like they were completely knackered for 15 minutes. This is not a criticism of him. I meant the article. He didn't have enough time to display his worth for that cameo obviously so don't think anyone could have drawn opinions of him already....

The9 Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 The 2006 world cup final drew 716 million viewers, so I'd be surprised if the global viewing figure was over 470 million, and even that seems fairly preposterous given time differences and the large chunk of people who aren't interested in football, never mind Prem football.

VectisSaint Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 The bit I like is: "The 31,609 inside the St Mary’s Stadium, mostly the Saints faithful, welcomed just another new recruit in the number 24. Among football-loving Zambians it was the dawn of a new era. A son of this soil had arrived at arguably the biggest stage in world club football."
