Carlton Cole anyone?

He is to be released by West Ham in the summer. Would you have him?

 

As long as his wages are good for us and he's not one of those southern tarts who can't cope with being north of the Watford Gap.

Don't believe it will happen mind. Someone more established will be in for him.

 

Source? I've never rated him but I'd take him over proschwitz and fryatt!

I never said it was going to happen. I have just seen it on the BBC website and just wanted your opinions on the guy. Seemed good when he played against us last season.

You do know the Watford gap is near Northampton?

 

I would give him a go, if the wages were in line with the clubs budget, with Brady and hopefully Elmo putting in crosses he could well profit from srvice like that.

 

Fair. He is pooh but still better than what we have. I'd take him if the money was right

 

I know where the Watford Gap is, BSman.

What's your point?

 

Why would a Londoner start to feel out his comfort zone 50/60 miles north of London?

 

I never used the term cockney/ Londoner. I said southener.

Southeners whinge when they come further north of it. Northamptonshire is still in the south.

That's my point- there is a bit of a difference mind, money, value of things etc etc.

It's called a generalisation. You should know you use a lot of them.

 

Because that's as far as he'd be comfortable to go? The point makes perfect sense to me...

And I do think he's one of said 'southern twats'. On Twitter he seemed to be suggesting going to East London was a stretch for him.

 

Northamptonshire is in the midlands not southern England. I know schools are bad in hull but isn't geography part of the curriculum?

 

No, all we did in Geography was colour in.

The way schools are going, you should embrace it. It's the way of the future.

 

Nobody said anything else. You really are missing the point here.

If he'd said "he's a Londoner and insists on staying in London but would be happy going as far north as the Watford Gap" you wouldve had a point, but he didnt.

 

Have you ever seen a film called idiocracy? It's an atrocious waste of a film reel, but I can see the world going that way

 

Presumably if it were you'd know Hull should have a capital H.

 

Anywhere south of Chesterfield is Southern to me.

I also consider anyone to come from Northampton as a cockney.

Not hard is it?

 

I've never been impressed with Cole. He has only reached double figures in 3 seasons since 2001 and one of those was in the championship. We should be looking for better if possible.

And I've been to Northampton

 

Poor sod.

I've been to Stoke.
