Talk:Darren Bent

message: I added a footnote, thinking Alfmaster had included Ipswich's 2 playoff matches in 2002, as there were 2 more apps than the stats offered by soccerbase.com.  I have since realised that Bent played a total of 4 playoff matches, so I've changed my edit to reflect soccerbase.com's figures, which don't include playoff games as league games.   sʟυмɢυм • т • c  20:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

*Lead is three paras, too long for the rest of the article.  I'd just have one intro para which discusses his club progress and one following para which describes his international career.
** Merged paragraphs. Mattythewhite 19:50, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Much better, couple more things..
*In the lead you mention his debut and record at u-21 level but not his full international debut.

message: Spurs Website Juande:Important win claims Bent has 100 career goals, but figures don't stack up. 37 with Ipswich, 55 with Charlton, 5 up to 8 march 2008 + 1 he scored against WHU as per article, only gets to 98. Anyone know where the other 2 goals are? penalties in shootouts? playoff matches? --ClubOranje (talk) 22:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, the commentator on my live video feed also said "finally he has his 100th, he's been on 99 for a long time" or words to that effect--ClubOranje (talk) 23:23, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Goal total 

message: His shooting of a 12 year old caused controversy at the time, considering he was 18 and an Ipswich first team player. Why was this section removed? Once again the wiki fascist editors know nothing. If you google it, or ask any Ipswich fans you will find out this is 100% true and a notable story for this article, not many young pro- players shoot 12 year old kids do they? I remember the away fans chant even today "hes quick, hes black, he shoot kids in the back... Darren Bent.... Darren Bent."

message: I notice that certain information in the infobox has been drawn from Soccerbase. Soccerbase is a betting site, so I think the Premier League would be preferable for sourcing information. Michael Glass (talk) 03:51, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
