  2. Had a look at that Sam Eggington fight last week was a bit gutted for him as he's always come across as a genuine fighting man going a long way on limited ability....not sure how old he is but wouldnt mind seeing him hang the gloves up now he has the style and mindset that gets you hurt.

  3. Nice classy looking picture that is.....never been into the gamebirds myself but used to know a few who were bang into it old Springview gave me his Steel Fowl Keep years ago it made for interesting reading as i was conditioning a lot of dogs at the time.

    I visit a place near Welshpool on the odd occasion im pretty sure this is the only remaining original cockers pit in Wales.

    As I said chief, this won’t be a conversation for much longer…..not if anyone at that club has any sense.

    Here, tell that long haired bloke who makes your local clubs YouTube Chanel to get another game up, they play great stuff and I really enjoy watching your games.

    If the little club Gnasher is involved with moved up the leagues and it meant they had to put in an extra stand, or seats or a bar he would do it without a second thought and so would every club…..not for one second would anyone associated with that club think “Oh no, can’t do that, old Charlie always stands there with his jack Russell patch and he has been coming here 60 year”……would they f**k, they’d go for ambition every single time.

    I have absolutely no idea what any of that has to do with how your team plays football or the values it always stood for once they cross that white line…….the fact it, it doesn’t ! 
     

    Moved up the leagues how ? through winning football matches you mean..........ok so then " IF " that extra investment means having to play unattractive win at all costs football in order to maintain that false higher level ( because you're not actually good enough to be this big club ) then thats now what we have to accept or the alternative is financial suicide.

    Charlie and his Jack Russell have to accept the club has changed and maybe its no longer the club he fell in love with,oh well tough shit Chas dry your eyes you silly old c**t we're big shit now even if we do play survival football because we havent got what it takes to become " big " on merit.

    West Ham became the " big club " you craved Wilf without achieving f**k all on a football field....then having got " big club " status you now want the qualities it takes for REAL sporting achievement.....you're a glory hunter mate !

    I’ve never said any different, in fact I’m a firm believer in that they don’t have to be different.

    Its Gnasher has said time and time again that we can’t have those things because we moved to a good facility…..and I don’t agree with him, at all.

    In fact he has said clearly that we have to throw those things away to stay in the top flight, and again I don’t agree.

    See with football clubs there are fans tradition and clubs ambition, those things sometimes have room for each other but sometimes they don’t.

    Now, I’d happily as a fan watch at any level but I understand no club in the world from Sunday League to Premier League is going to say “well, we don’t want to advance ourselves because old Fred has been standing the same place for 55 years”……never going to happen !

    So, we have to understand that reality and accept it.

    We couldn’t build a next level facility where we was and there was this big, shiny, state of the art stadium going begging in East London that we could have for buttons.

    Theres a big rent reduction if we go down, nobody else is ever turning up to put a bid in to take it.

    Clubs bins all the money from sale of the old ground, rent comes straight off the top line, raises commercial profile, should attract players that may not otherwise have wanted to come……of course, as a club that is exactly the right thing to do.

    What they going to do?, say “Nah, f**k it, I ain’t betraying Old Fred….let’s gradually drop down the leagues and wither” 

    I couldn’t have cared less but I know that is never, ever, ever going to happen…..so I accept that reality, I understand clubs HAVE to have ambition and I understand that’s it’s a bloody good idea from that point of view. 
     

    You have to move forward or you go backward. 
     

    f**k me, to me that’s just obvious ?

    Im Like a stuck record but to suggest there is only one way to play to achieve things in football is absolute total f***ing nonsense, if it was true nobody would watch ! 

    You are trying to fit your ideals to the model and you know it doesnt work like that mate......in any walk of life you cut your cloth accordingly.....you know full well that we couldnt of moved onto this " big club " identity you wanted,playing with the culture and values we used to play with when class,style and tradition was the name of the game.

    Back in the old gaff under Harry years ago we had an attacking side playing the " West Ham way " that we all loved to watch comprising of David James,Glen Johnson,Trevor Sinclaire,Lee Bowyer,Michael Carrick,Joe Cole,Jermaine Defoe,Paolo Di Canio in the same side....a beautiful side with brilliant footballers at any level of the game....and we got relegated !!

    That was what we got for playing the right way but we didnt care as we had tradition and culture with a " who cares " attitude.......a " who cares " attitude in this new ground that YOU wanted would probably put us in Wimbledon never to be seen again territory.

    Well it’s been mild I’ve just started a few short walks in bare feet and they are already feeling more prepared and harder than last spring hoping to get them hardened up enough that I can keep it up most of next winter, recon gnash would love me with me manky toes out and girly bangles on lol 

    Please tell me you aint got a tribal tattoo as well 😫

    Get this!

    As said, I barely wear shoes here, apart from in winter… this winter “I’ve mostly” (lol) been rocking burgundy, faux alligator Docs… realised yesterday, I’ve got the Athletes foot between only the two little toes on the left foot… I’m in my early 40’s and I’ve never had this before. I’ve been nowhere where I could’ve picked it up, so I’ve no idea on this. Also my toes have started curling :laugh: :laugh: 

     

    🤣 Brilliant !!........i can just picture it now,stood in a dimly lit bar next to a couple of treacles and you hear whispers of.....

    Personally i think the lad will get caught out and walk onto something the minute he steps up in class as its a totally false act for the wrong reasons in my opinion.....you only have to look and listen to the lad when interviewed he comes across as quite a shy kid....when you look at the proven greats who had those eccentric styles of fighting they had personalities to match.....Ali,Ray Leonard,Hector Camacho,Roy Jones,Naz they were all huge personalities....not just making bizarre moves trying to sell themmself to the public like this lad.......he looks a good sharp fighter and that will take him so far but this other stuff could actually prevent him from reaching the very top in my opinion....i might be proved wrong who knows.

    Have you read moyses response for some fans putting a moyse out placard up yesterday he says about the club's growth and your best recent times have been under him and were you were when he came in and about your style of play a lot of what you and gnasher have chatted about lately 

    The problem is mate our club has changed since the move its not my club anymore and we knew it would be like that......we knew we would become a " global brand " having to sacrifice our traditions to have a win at all costs mentality turning us into horrible little glory hunter fans holding up " manager out,next manager in " signs like these other little wretches at clubs who think they are big.

    I liked my club how it was.....chaps like Wilf didnt........we lost and they won i get it.....hence olduns like me have a bit of fun with them " West Ham are massive,everywhere we go " 😂

    What part of “these players are getting dragged about and passed through so fast and so much they don’t know wether to have a shit or a haircut” are you not getting mate ? 

     

    Probably the same part you are not getting about this style of football producing us more success than we've ever had......success that YOU wanted.

    No, I made the right choice, the reality choice.

     

    The choice you made was leaving traditions and culture behind to become a big club and have more success.......which you have got but now you want tradition and culture back.

    And that’s why I am being polite and responding here because I like and respect you mate, but the reality is we won’t agree so it’s all a bit pointless……in fact we don’t even have to agree, I get why loads of you like it and I’m fine with it.

     

    This is where its glaringly obvious to me how you are just so out of touch with West Ham fans since you moved over there its almost amusing !......its been 7 years since the move yet the topic we are debating is still by far the biggest talking point and stumbling block that totally split our fan base ( which some of us knew it would ) within the ground week in week out......Frank Lampard left us 25 odd years ago but we still argue about him today its like you've become a tv fan totally unaware of footie whinge natter with your footie pals.........id give you a big sloppy kiss if we met but i still think you're talking bollocks on this subject.

    Can anyone recall a wetter autumn/winter? Feels utterly never ending, I am sure we have had a wetter month or so (2000 floods?) but as a 6 month just been relentlessly wet. A forecast shows no real letup. I have royally had an enough of it. Bet there will still be hose pipe bans after 2 dry weeks in the summer though 

    I dont remember a milder winter either,its barely been below about 2 degrees here.....cant quite get my nut round all this climate change bollocks but somethings definitely going on.

    Quite a funny story at a very good friend of mines funeral we were  all gathered around his grave very sombre and this bloke appeared with a what can only be described as a box, he put on his sad voice and goes ok everybody these birds of peace are going to be released and there going to fly around to celebrate my friends life and then return to the box, he released the birds gone never to be seen again and straight to the direction of the pub where we was having his wake my old mate would have loved that he loved things going tits up the dove man’s face was priceless funny old rituals we have when we are gone.

    A young lad close to me got into all that dove release malarkey,bred,raised,trained them etc but lost some to Sparrowhawks and some just didnt come back......in the end he realised that going and buying a pair of doves for 25 quid and then getting paid 150 quid for releasing them was much easier....he didnt give a bollock if they ever came back or not he just went and bought another pair.....he caught on quick for a young kid 😆

    You’re spot on regarding the human behaviour mate 


    We live in a multicultural world but have wars due to the differing characteristics of different cultures. Yet morons think you can import these different characteristics and cultures without importing a problem of interpersonal and social conflict

    We dont seem to know our own arrogance when expecting people of a long and deep seated culture ( Muslims for example ) to integrate into our society.....we dont seem to quite understand how insulting that is both to Muslim people themselves and the Christian people of societies they are being shoe horned into.

    If you think Mourinho is Moyes pal then I just don’t know what to say.

     

    Again,you are hiding mate....is Dave Allen the same as Tyson Fury.....no,but they have the same ugly win at all costs mentality.......a mentality that you seem to have decided is no longer important since David Moyse arrival.
