Imagine making that fight PPV, Khan's chin is questionable and Brook's eye sockets seem to have gone but the public will love it. Tough fight for the loser because that has to be one step closer to retirement.

Barkley? I like Loftus-Cheek and his brief appearance for England showed he has a lot of quality, but needs time to push on at Chelsea.

Yeah I think the price tag may put people off seeing as he's not played a full season, Bournemouth already rejected for example and didn't go higher. I do hope that's the case as I think he's class and will help solidify our defence more. Its mad really because the first two months really hurt us, say we picked up an extra 8-10 points then we'd be comfortably in the play offs. If we can find that consistency next season then we'll be outside contenders for automatics I think (if we don't go up this season). -

TBH mate the only major press we've had has been about not being able to hold onto a lead and that happened at the QPR game which was actually quite a while after we gave up so many leads. People generally expect us to get relegated more than anything. Though you are spot on about our recruitment process and if we lose Woods it will be a blow but also I expect us to replace him (and sell for big money too). I think we'll lose Woods and Mepham (walks this division and he's not even played a full season yet) to Premier League clubs, Mepham definitely. The one I really hope we keep is Romaine Sawyers, he is just too good. Florian Jozefzoon will have a year on his contract and has been one of our better players, so he's another I'd like to see stay. I think we could be making in the £15m-£25m bracket per player this Summer, Mepham I think will go for £20m at least. Ha lucky bastard. -
That Khan fight was pure Eddie Hearn

We're still on for it, who woulda thought it. So difficult as even one loss or draw from our next two games could see us drop. So proud of the team right now, we had a difficult start that saw us struggle to get the right results but we've managed to slowly turn that around. There's so much belief at the club, the attitude of the players is top knotch and that's an example of smart recruitment. If we don't make the play offs then we've still had a great crack at it and come closer than @Toony thought So much potential for next season but two games to go, come on you Bees! -
Born in me ol mucka, never lived there (though it's definitely not posh). With that said I was taking the piss as I imagine the people's republic of Croydon has spread its wings into their lovely land

So you lot come from the posh part of SW London...like Twickenham extended

Warriors are flying this season, was a shake you game against the Broncos last week and were probably under pressure with the unbeaten streak, but were composed today and came out deserved winners. Good crowd too (18k).

No one specifically but whoever he leaves out of the FA Cup game will be the recipient. Probably carry on the workplace bullying of Luke Shaw

Does Mourinho speak to the press without moaning at one of his players?

I've just started an argument with Brian Cox on twitter telling him the Earth is flat. Following on in @Any O'Brien school of Tweets

I think Cardiff have shown that you can give the stadium a bit of character even when it does start as a bowl so there's some hope for you lot. Their double tiered main stand is nice. I imagine you're going to introduce something similar, anything you can do to take you away from the current bowl would be a good move.

Fury will need a warm up fight or two, been out of the ring for way too long. The most logical thing to do with the fight from both sides is have Joshua fight an American heavyweight in the States and then have Wilder fight Whyte at the 02, then Joshua and Wilder have a mega fight at the end of 2018. Though I think that's a bit dangerous for Wilder and personally see Whyte beating him, so he probably just wants to fight Joshua first and then take everything after that. Joshua would want to fight Whyte in an all British heavyweight unification fight as it'd make history, plus I don't think Joshua actually rates Wilder that much and looking at what Molina and Ortiz did to him, I think AJ will win that comfortably. But Wilder isn't accepting anything other than Joshua and whilst his team haven't made any offers yet, it'll come down to those two I think. But if Wilder wants more money out of it which I think may have been an issue (I believe Wilder has made something like $2m from a single fight whereas AJ is getting £15m+ for each now) then the only way he'll get that is by fighting Whyte and building his reputation. Heavyweight boxing is dominated by Britain now and the money is all over here, and I think most British fans din't rate Wilder that much compared to AJ, so he'd need a big performance against someone like Whyte to improve his split of the AJ fight. What heavyweight boxing really needs is AJ to come through Wilder, unify the entire division and then have what would be the biggest fight in years against Tyson Fury.
-
Comfortable win for Joshua in the end, thought he negated Parker's rangey punches really well considering he's a big boy. Saw in the Fury fight that Parker isn't afraid of releasing one of those winding hits and Parker struggled to make contact with them. Ref was shocking, Parkers the smaller man so needs to fight on the inside and AJ's strength is in his hooks and upper cuts, doesn't have the speed for those rangey shots. Joshua's also answered the critics with his engine, barely looked tired though he did lose that initial sharpness in speed in the opening rounds. Hopefully he can fight Wilder next and if he wins we'll see the biggest heavyweight match up boxing has had in years.
-
Came close though, sent him flying with half a hit. Povetkin should fight Whyte as the Joshua fight will be over quickly as long as AJ beats Parker
-
Just watched the full fight between Parker and Fury and oh my the commentary was badly biased towards Fury. Great footwork but not a lot of punching output.
-
The sooner these fights happen, the sooner the excitement in the heavyweight division will dry up. You mentioned Parker there, you then have Wilder being troubled by Molina and nearly getting KOed by Ortiz an then being saved by the bell. If he was in there with say Dillian Whyte it would have ended differently I feel. You look at AJ and one of the biggest names in this division in Whyte, he dealt with fairly comfortably even if Whyte landed a couple. It's a shame Klitschko's reign has ended as him, Fury and AJ could have really lit things up. Now it's going to be down to Fury and AJ imo.
-
For me the only person on Joshua's level in this division is (or was) Tyson Fury, so I've got Joshua but probably later than 6.
-
Yeah Browne didn't really offer much but that was a violent KO. Wilder has to go for Whyte now, if he wins the AJ fight is then massive. Though I reckon Whyte does Wilder. There goes Buglionis fight with Yarde.

I've been told the island you land on aint much to write home about but some of the others are good. I worked with a girl who was from the Cook Islands, heard good things from here/seen her pictures
