Ha Ha ha

Thanks for making me laugh...

I'm not sure people from UK, Denmark and other European countries would agree. I don't think it's unusual for even county players in England not to be aware of players on the international scene. In fact I would guess that in England more people know Lin Dan than Taufiq

Seems like Taufik has a good relationship with the malaysian players. Does anyone have the photos between Taufik and Peter Gade since Taufik said that Peter Gade is the player he respects and admires most. Mind to share here?

MALAYSIA IS OUR LITLE BROTHER

taneepak, you sure abt this idea??..or just kidding??.

..look what he's created for himself, on and off the court during his heyday even without being handed those "position(s)"..

..
Now, imagine him actually given or be in those "positions" you mentioned-i might hold my breath when those become reality...hehe

Hehe..i love taufik,but i think this guy speaks too big about taufik.Taufik is a star in his era,yet will be replaced by some unknown guy in some years ahead.Only TH,LCW,PG?How about the others?U gotta have some respect to the other player k..

**Smichz** · 01-08-2007, 03:02 AM

Aite2..we should stop this argument..i think both player r great,LD won 6 times,n TH won 4 times from the total 10 times meeting.I even heard the chinese commentator said that compare to those two,TH is still better in terms of achievements,as the 4 times he won r the preferrable title.So,no one's better,as long as they both shows their best.
