First and foremost, it’s my belief that men of a certain age should avoid pubs…..after 40 your tolerance for c**ts just seems to fade away completely and where’s there’s drink there’s c**ts.
However, in response to your post, absolutely someone should have at least got the girls out the way, I don’t think that’s even a question is it.
Its not a south London thing mate, it’s a boozed up c**ts thing.
As for “oh, shouldn’t have got involved it’s a family thing”, bollocks to that, f**k their family, doing the right thing is just something you do.
That’s my tuppence worth anyway.
I disagree i think it is a South London thing they just have no respect for property this is a mob who were infamous for trashing their own areas during the footie stuff of the 80's remember.....my sister and her ex husband had a pub round the corner to this one and it was constant......i like to think us over the river would at least take it outside like proper chaps should but they have a safety in numbers attitude in my opinion,neither of these 2 actually wanted to fight as i found out by how easy it was to split them up !

but if that was my daughter and someone stepped in to save her getting hurt I’d be grateful
That was the ONLY reason mate....im no Mother Theresa so no problem with the lads scrapping and im certainly no knight in shining armour come to save the day type....but you cant just stand by and watch young girls trying to part grown men like you say,ive got a daughter.

Every man and his dog is going to agree with you. It's completely reasonable.
Then it is just South Londoners then......they was trying to take a " the girls should of stood back,we settle things ourselves round here " attitude......which is all well and good but no c**t pulled the girls back either......bunch of scruffy c**ts.
" just one quick drink its not like it used to be " he says !

Heres the scenario.......you're in a pub you're not overly familiar with in an area you dont often frequent......a fight kicks off between 2 reasonably capable fellas,tables flying etc......every single punter stands there watching and nobody apart from the 2 young girls in their teens/20's behind the bar attempts to split them up,one of who cops an elbow in the face.........you step in dragging them apart ( on your own ) telling one to f**k off that way and the other to f**k off the other way........order restored.
You go back to your drink and 10 minutes later a couple of people come over telling you" it was a family thing and you shouldnt of got involved "........response " well im not gonna stand and watch 2 young girls get battered "....and blah blah blah few words exchanged but no further harm done.......anyone got a view ?
I f****n hate South London !

lovely birds a man would want his hands chopped off for killing one its nature
Even if they might be trying to kill a mans pride and joy ? some of these chaps put a lot of time and effort into their birds....in my opinion they're entitled to do whatever it takes to protect them.

If anyone is feeling down and needs a cheer up, simply follow the speculation and statements from our little West Ham about who our new manager may be, who they are talking to etc !
Its amazing, it’s like the media team are just sitting around smoking crack and just sending random posts ! Lol
Yesterday it was Sporting Lisbons head Coach Amorin (spel ?) flown in for talks…….Amorin ?…….Sullivan has more chance of getting Alladding !
Expect to see a constant flow of this nonsense until we land Tony Mowbray !
When i use the phrase " lads like you " im referring to leavers of course,fans who wanted the move......having spoke to loads over the last few years im seeing a distinct pattern so i'll ask you the same mate.
In your heart of hearts are you kicking yourself about the move now ?......having gone from a little club you liked to a big club you dislike , in hindsite do you regret the club moving and everything that comes with it ?

Ive always been a decent Pool player but just cant make the adjustments to Snooker as young lads we used to go to an all night Snooker hall over Bermondsey way it would be full of Chinese taxi drivers betting fortunes on games......being as how popular the game is with them it always surprised me taking so long to see top Chinese players but a few seem to be coming to the front now.
Neil Robertson thats him.....not sure how it works with qualification dont they have to build up ranking points or something to automatically qualify,always seemed a top player that lad.
I always like to witness the iconic sporting venues but yes maybe just an armchair one the Snooker.....a bit like the old Ski Sunday watched with a nice mug of hot tea

McGuire looked good the other night
Because he doesnt toe the line of respectability.....thats one of them awards only the squeaky clean get.
Ronnie has to be favourite though id imagine that Shaun Murphy chap is in with a shout....wheres the Australian geezer his name escapes me but he's normally there or thereabouts.....must admit i dont get into it until about the quarter finals.....always fancied going to The Crucible just not sure i could sit still and quiet long enough,anyone else been ?

The way plod are told to police these type of events is so predictable its almost funny.....deployed in full riot gear,provoking crowds into a reaction,purposely blocking routes all to stop some white people waving flags and celebrating their day......contrastingly,when do you ever see this type of policing on a Saturday Pro Hamas hate march,Just Stop Oil or any of the other lefty socialist groups Palestine/Gaza etc etc all fully orchestrated for mainstream media to suit their " far right " narrative,disgraceful two tier policing.......we was brought up to fear/respect police....sadly they are now just embarrassing,hang your heads in shame.
Interesting if somewhat predictable little day out.

Yep, nice sensible way of looking at it and I understand that when all is said and done, football is all just opinions wether you are Pele or Pete from the pub……they are all relevant if they ain’t just fantasy nonsense.
You are obviously more familiar with the situation on the ground so I may be way off the mark but I have always been a football optimist in as much as I believe you can achieve good stuff and play nice football with just about any group of players, that way of thinking has dictated how I played, how I coached and how I view football.
I understand it’s a bias but I think you have to have a belief of how you like the game and stick to it and that’s mine.
I see enough talent in the squad for the bones of a decent positive front foot side, I think with that Tim Steidan we have a bloke from a culture willing to do deals that would help with that and if we could just add a coach that had the same mindset then we could be that team that people really want to watch with a style fans can really get behind……a “West Ham way” again ?
I don’t worry about results if I can see a direction, I have always thought that playing good football and doing everything right from back room to on the pitch will eventually reap its own dividends but again, I understand that is just my own belief.
I don’t think just results on their own are enough, I think it’s a very boring game if we ever get to that…..that is the danger when such financial numbers are involved, you can end up sacrificing the football for the bank balance but to me, the game, the players and the fans have to come first.
I genuinely wouldn’t care much if we won the champions league if we had to do it with 10 men behind the ball playing anti football……I used to religiously watch Italian football in the 90s so I know what locking up at 1-0 looks like and it’s boring.The game and rules allows teams to be so much more attacking now because that’s what they were designed to do and let’s be honest, who didn’t love the old Brazil mindset of “if you score 2, we will just score 3” ? That is why everyone loved Brazil.
All that said, we will probably end up with some standard name that’s been round the block a million times as a manager and it’s all just business as usual.
I agree about Sullivans recruitment, I think it’s been dodgy and a bit too “bloke down the pub making it up” for my liking…..hopefully that’s where Steidan will earn his money.
Much as i agree that Steidan has been good news for the club in general i dont think in the long run he'll make lads like you happy mate.....and by lads like you i mean lads with an " ideal "
For me the reason it always comes back to the move ( promise i wont go on about it
) is that we gave up any " ideals " we had about the game of football from an identity point of view,traditions call it what you like......thats not to say we can never play attractive football again it just means our priorities went in a different direction.....a bloke like Steidan has no affiliation to the club we was,infact he doesnt give a monkeys for it and why should he.
Where we are now as a club is one that is genuinely competing.....to now go back and make attractive football a priority just isnt going to happen and i know what you're getting at with a " why cant we do both " kind of attitude but the game has changed now and for better or worse as a club we've now changed with it.
The way you describing playing the game and how you may have coached the game is based on ideals....yes in an ideal world we'd all play and coach like that but it doesnt work at the highest level of sport and the analogy i'll give is one im more familiar with and thats boxing.....in an ideal world every heavyweight would box like Muhammad Ali but Muhammad Ali in todays times of giant heavyweights just couldnt be sucessful.....and yes its wrong,maybe a little bit sentimentally sad....but its the harsh facts of modern top level sport that the right way isnt necessarily the best way.
Kudus isnt as good as Debruyne......nowhere near......so matching player for player like for like all over the pitch will see us getting mullered against better players......where i do agree with you is that playing an " ideal " way against players not as good as our own and getting results should be very achievable and thats where Moyse in my opinion never had a plan B as such......my " ideal " if you like would be playing John Lyall football against Burnley and Luton then playing Moyse football against City and Arsenal........wanna compromise ?

Any breed of dog that’s willing to die in a battle even when the odds are against it is classed as game am I correct or is it only bulldogs that are untitled to the phrase Game
You've had it explained to you mate and you're not having it......you can lead a horse to water and all that.
Once you can grasp the difference between " instincts " and " traits " you will be halfway to understanding gameness.

No that means your little dog is having fun
Iv witnessed it mate you are not getting what I’m saying the term Game is not for bulldogs only
So what you are saying is my little dog chasing a ball until he dies isnt game because he is enjoying himself ....you are starting to confuse yourself mate !
If you think a dog who dies during or after battle isnt having fun then again,you have no real understanding of the word.
An old saying i like about gameness is " a truly game dog always thinks he is winning ".

Good post mate, and I think as far as Moyes is concerned that’s exactly the right way to look at it……when all is said and done, it’s just about going to your football.
I was looking yesterday and maybe I’m well behind on something everyone already knows but Slaven Billic assistant manager when he was with us is the head coach of Borrusia Dortmund !
Edin Tzercik or something like that, I would personally love to see a young coach like that or Pep Linjers or if there is another English Eddie Howe type kicking around have a go and see what he could do with a pretty decent starting 11, I know we lack depth but the bones are there now imho.
I dont know enough about foreign coaches mate so not familiar with the names you mention but my worry with a " flair type " coach for want of a better description,is that we just dont have a big enough squad.....some of our fans despise him but im ok with Sullivan but i do think he moves at the wrong times transfer wise,he lets windows go when we should buy and buys when we dont need to.......its like the old West Ham saying " we come down with the Xmas decorations " our good start is usually over by January and for me a lot of that has been about Sullivans timing....only my opinion of course.
My tactical nouse isnt up to much but i do watch football and see how patterns seem to work and the defensively solid Moyse type sides do tend to have a smaller squad of a set regular starting eleven as opposed to the " flair types " who have big squads constantly rotating for whatever the next game requires.....top sides have 2 of every position reasonably close ability wise we still have the old fashioned first choice and second choice....obviously that doesnt mean to say we cant get to that but it would take time....time that could see us become a regular mid/lower league possibly even relegation fighting side again and we just cant go back to that now.....much as some dont like him Moyse has set a standard now and its not going to be easy maintaining it.

The tie was lost in the first leg i thought we did ok last night and gave it a go....with our best player out and a referee who with 2 sendings off and 10 bookings either enjoys being a referee a little bit too much or had totally lost control of the game it was too much of an uphill task....saying that though as peculiar as the ref was the better team went through i thought Alonso just stepped it up at half time and Leverkusen just reigned us back in they are probably the best side in Europe at the moment so no disgrace.
Regards Moyes i do think he'll be gone at the end of the season and while im glad in some ways theres still part of me thinks its a " be careful what you wish for " type of thing....but personally id thank the man and shake his hand on his way out for giving me and my pals a few years like we've never had before.

With the sheer number of cars on the roads today coupled with these ridiculous Smart Motorways something is needed to ensure safety my mrs was hit up the arse on the M1 last year and although not hurt it shook her up......she isnt a nervous type of person but on a live motorway lane between the SOS layby's unable to physically get off the motorway it wasnt a nice situation to be in yet within a few minutes the lane was closed off,traffic officers were there they drove her up to Newport Pagnell services,sat with her until the car arrived,helped her with recovery etc......im not a fan of plod/authority at all but they did a good job and so credit where its due.

Learn to trust the dog mate.They know more than what we do.One of my pet hates has always been blokes trying to send their dogs down holes or encouraging them into cover like they know better than the one with a super sensitive nose on the front of its face.
Sound advice mate appreciated....dont get me wrong he's no super duper purpose bred killing machine he's little more than a general mooching/countryside companion we're like the blind leading the blind half the time but at this stage of life its all good fun

I was born in 76 Gnash, so to be honest the first heavyweight that grabbed my attention was Tyson, I was 9 or 10 when he beat Berbick and still remember it vividly, watched with my dad and brother...I probably got a decent run of it from 85/86 and through the 90s...but by god that 10 years of the Klitckos was awful, would send a glass eye to sleep...I seriously can't remember many of the fights, perhaps Haye beating Valuev only for sheer novelty factor really though...
I watch a lot of old fights on you tube..
Bang on about the light heavyweight division, it's full of real quality fighters, with the 2 standout fighters actually putting it on the line knowing a loss is worth the risk as a win sets up legendary status, no chance with any of the current heavies ..
Bertibiev for me in that main event, what's your thoughts?
Fair play mate you dont have the impressionable sentiment type of thing for Tyson a lot of chaps of your generation have ....im a bit older than you so caught the early Holmes career in my impressionable years and much as i admire his qualities he just didnt have the charisma to get all sentimental about.
Regards the light heavies its not just at world level of course even domestically theres great matches being made.
I'm going Bivol mate....its a mouth watering boxer v puncher thing on paper but when you look at them as individuals they both have so much more than that,Beterbiev i think has underrated skills,a good jab and footwork while Bivol although not a finisher has underrated power.....Bivol at times looks defensively superb but Beterbiev doesnt need a lot of space to generate real power....i think the challenge Beterbiev will have is not getting frustrated if Bivols movement and distance make things difficult....if Bivol can execute a near flawless gameplan and stay resolute to it for 12 rounds i favour him to nick a decision...but Beterbiev has fight ending power to the last bell so who knows.....cracking 50/50 fight though mate eh

if you have a breed of dog that is willing to die for what it wants to do it’s Game it doesn’t have to be a bulldog
I have a little dog here that will chase a ball until his lungs will literally burst....does that make him game ? of course it doesnt......you're just not getting it mate but to be fair most people who havent witnessed it dont.

Is the term Game only acceptable when referring to the bulldog ?
Ive always described gameness like the water level in a jar......some quite low,but its there......some so high you dont think it could carry any more.......then very rarely you come across one thats so high it spills over the edge.

I've got to agree with Mchull that the past 10 years have been marginally better than the previous 10 years...that Klitcscho era seems like a distant bad dream, surely the time between 2004 and 2014 must be the worst in history...
Regards everything else, of course the 70s is head and shoulders above, before my time but I've tried to watch as much of that era as possible .. remember the late 80s and 90s well, and for me that's the best in my lifetime... I don't think any of the current mob would stand with half of the 70s or 90s champions or contenders...
Id say the only era that was possibly worse than todays was the 80's.....beyond Holmes at the start and Tyson at the end it was a terrible decade for heavyweight boxing.....i honestly dont know how the division will ever get back to what it was....what most fans miss about classic heavyweight boxing can now be found in the light heavyweight division that contains genuine stars of the sport with well rounded skills and work rate......the heavyweights at world level will always be the showcase pantomime area of the game but most hardcore boxing folk accept its probably the worst division in boxing for skills and ability etc.
