[Oldhand]

dude come on man keep on posting is good.......is not the best thread.....nah seriously I met the guy before in the train on the way to London...here is my conversation with him:

Me: So Anthony what do you think of Indonesian Badminton??
AC: Nothing special...I think in the next super series England is going to totally own them..

Me: Sorry mate I don't think you are making any sense....we have alot of talented player...you faced Candra and know how deadly he is

AC: well yea but me and Donna together with Nathan and Gail are one of the best in the world...we are only scared of Zeng Bo and Gao Ling while with the rest.......they are not that special

That is my friend complete arrogance!!

Well, it's nice to read an imagined conversation from an imagined meeting

first of all is not an imagined train journey it was from birmingham to Newcastle...dude Anthony CLark is not dat famous in England...I mean compare to like Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Christiano 'cry baby' Ronaldo, Cesc Fabregas, even Peter from family guy is more well known lol....................

But Anthony Clark is sure the most arrogant one the Nathan come 2nd

I REAd in a psychology book that sometimes shorter people who feel inferior to other people tend to be more arrogant to get 1 up against their opponents. Seeing that he's 1.70m. He's definetely considered on the shorter side. So that may be his problem.

"Own them"? since when they use terms and slangs from cyber games?

[wilfredlgf]

Personalities are that - personal. Clark's action could be the manifestation of his competitive nature, surfacing as a gesture mixed with frustration or something that happened the night before, or the week before, who knows?

It's not really appropriate indeed but I do agree with Gunblade on this one.

"Own them"? since when they use terms and slangs from cyber games?

Indeed, considering it's spelt "pwned".

first off this thread is utter bollocks as you english would say....2nd of course hes not as famous as steven gerrard or frank lumplard (overpaid english players who cant even qualify for euro 2008) because futbol is the most popular sport in the world.....you really need to stop hating on anthony clark....hes the one making money playing badminton your not lol

[Smichz]

I wonder what would happend when clark changed his direction to MS,n "shhhh.."ing TH,the bad tempered,in a match.I bet TH would just throw him his AT900-T to his face,like he's done before with his AT700 to the crowd.LOL...

[GunBlade008]

Well...in my personal opinion, the 'shhh'-ing incident, which it can be referred to as, does not justify arrogance to me. I just thought that the situation was as follows: Clark made a simple unforced error, Candra cheered, Clark might've felt that cheering is best reserved for those who earn points instead of cheering for your opponent's errors, so he 'shh'-ed Candra. To me, it doesn't necessarily mean 'shut up', and I think that you might've seen it in a different context.

[d65up2]

Never like this guy from the start just plain annoying

[sumbadder]

In this case you should probably hate Peter Gade too for telling Chen Jin to shut up on court several times.

we know PEter gade.. he's one of legendary players.. former #1 player.. i think he has a right to 'ssss' chen jin and he's very famous in denmark .. and who is antony clarck ? if you ask people in england about Anthony clarck, most of them will have no clue about who he is

[wilfredlgf]

Aah, so being arrogant is the right of those with power/fame/achevement etc?

Not really but you know if you are good and arrogant you have some basis..but if you are Anthony Clark....you just dun have it..........but anyway badminton players should not be arrogant but if you are good is more acceptable although still is annoying
