FT: RANGERS 1-0 LIVERPOOL

How many did Carroll get then?
Easy meat for 35M of English top talent.

How many goals did Hooper score in the Premier League? Also which international team does he play for?

Seriously why did you go down that road.

I don't care what league anyone plays in as it means fluck all. Jeez if you want to go down that route we've just beat you 1-0 and it should have been 6.

You can only compare them in the same league and he outscored him in the Championship in a relegated team.

As for the England team get a grip please. Heskey played for England.

I know which one I would want to pay the same money for.

What are you talking about? I asked you two questions. I was expecting answers, which would determine whether Hooper is a better player than Carroll. Where you got all that other nonsense from, one can only hazard a guess at you being on the defensive for some unknown reason to me.

I guess I just conclude it myself, Hooper hasn't proved he can score goals in the Premier League, Carroll has. Hooper isn't in the England squad which includes the best players in the country, Carroll is. Using these two facts and my opinion that Andy Carroll has bags of potential, I come to the conclusion that Hooper can't even be mentioned in the same breath as Carroll.

Of course opinions differ but no need to go on the defensive. Rangers deserved their win and it should give them a little confidence boost. We handed run outs to some players returning from injury and lacking match fitness. Overall I think the game was a success, regardless of how much a waste of time people are saying it was.

I'm going on the defensive because you already knew the answers to both questions. The were the kind of questions that Mark Lawrenson and co come out with on the BBC on football focus.

Total English biased questions that only someone who watches nothing but EPL football would ask. The best English players don't always play for England and scoring in the EPL is not the be and end all of everything in football. The England team and manager is biased toward picking people from one league and a few teams in that league.

Half the teams in it bottom half of the EPL aren't very good either and by your arguments if the defenders aren't playing for an international team or England then they aren't very good either.

Hooper scored more goals than Carrol in the same league. Now that is a true comparison.

The facts are that Hooper did this in a team getting rellegated against a team who won the league. So Hoopers team had less possesion, had less chances and he scored more.

That's all you have to know in my book.

I didn't say Hooper isn't a good player. I didn't say any of the things you are posing arguments against. You are arguing you're own points and quite simply I'm confused as to what you're problem is.

If a player is good enough and playing in another league then he'll be selected. It just so happens that not many have played in other leagues but the one's who have and who have been good enough, have been picked.

Using Rangers as an example off the top of my head Gazza and Stevens have been picked. It just so happens that the best English players don't play in Scotland at this moment in time. To say that some players n the England squad aren't very good is a ridiculous statement, in my opinion. They are ranked eighth in the world.

So as I've said before Carroll plays for the eighth best international team in the world, has scored Premier League goals and looks to have fantastic potential. Hooper hasn't. So based on this Hooper cannot be compared to Carroll.

I have no English bias by the way.
