  1. You cant tell me that after patiently sitting here all this time eagerly awaiting some pictures of the fantastic experience you had this weekend that you now cant even post them up !!!
  2. Its really going to sound like im picking on you Wilf ?....im not its just this is an argument i have all the time with people like yourself who wanted the move.....you wanted the move to be a big modern day club and compete with the best at big modern day football....well why on earth are you now willing to accept lower league football !!! The bargaining tool used to get silly traditional ol fuckers like me on board was " competing with the biggest clubs in the world ".....i didnt particularly want to do that i was happy with what we had....but lads like you Wilf bought into all that fla
  3. I cant be f****d with all the nonsense at heavyweight i dont even bother keeping track its just tedious and boring.....but regards coin lets have it right for a minute....the money maker in the heavyweight division is Anthony Joshua no ifs buts or maybes.....ask any current fighter,trainer,promoter,manager,announcer,security guard or ring girl who is responsible for the numbers game in British boxing today and they,ll tell you Joshua......Wilder has limited appeal as the Yanks simply havent taken to him and boxing in recent years is suffering there....and Fury sells tickets like old people f**
  4. Sorry if it seems like im digging you out mate im not you know the club as well as me....but this was always going to be the type of issue we would come up against by making the decision to be " a big club ".......chucking money at it is what big clubs do Wilf !.....i know i harp on about it but i never wanted to be a big club in a shiny big ground i was happy with being a shit club in a shit ground but people like me was ignored.....so ok we go along with it as we love the club but then as soon as our expectations become that of fans of big clubs we get told " slow down son we,re only West Ha
  5. Is there a book or website anyone would recommend on the absolute basics of Taxidermy ?.....and is there any legalities in the Uk to any random Joe having a go at a squirrel or small bird etc ?
  6. Well Haringey is a culturally enriched borough so at least it beats raping and pillaging on a Saturday afternoon. No be positive mate if we beat them 7 nil we go above them in the table ?
  7. The funniest thing for me last night was sitting watching on the telly and an old pal of mine and ex fighter from West Ham Dean Hollington comes up on the screen in front of millions of people blatantly doing a selfie with Canelo Alvarez.....Deans on the British Board of Control these days so was there for good reason but that was unforgivable he,ll take some serious ribbing for that what a mug ?
  8. Thats right Sheff Weds i think we,ve chatted before.....funny days eh mate !
  9. Same here mate 3-2 loss for my little mob theres some quality knocking about down them leagues no question about it. Anyway never mind that should be an easy 3 points for us tomorrow night
  10. Must admit i didnt think Joshua had a performance like that in him.....i didnt think he had the legs or discipline to win a long tactical fight either from a boxing or cardio point of view but it shows what a gifted athlete he really is.....how many sluggers at that level can just do a complete 360 and win a jab and move contest....the obvious difference i see in Joshua is that he has at last learned to relax in a fight,that stiff,tight style he usually has is very draining and saps your energy even when your not working particularly hard....last night he was loose and relaxed and that kept hi
  11. Well,well,well what a carry on.....all this psychoanalysing over a monkeys worth of clobber ? f**k me i never knew i was surrounded by such outstanding citizens on here i just hope and pray if ever my wallet go,s missing the finder will be a member of this wonderful Thl community ? If id found that as a younger man it would of gone to the highest bidder regardless what any c**t said.....nowadays i just couldnt be arsed so would probably of left it exactly where it was................oh and Sambo stick to the day job chief your never going to make a career as a fence ?
  12. Fighters with genuine heart/gameness cant switch it on and off.....i dont remember Muhammad Ali falling away like that he took a horrible and sustained beating off Holmes simply because it wasnt in his make up to go down.....to me Mike Tyson was a rough cur who couldnt take what he dished out.....he quit on Holyfield in what he thought was a bad ass way to get out of a fight he knew he couldnt win.
  13. Good man....im of the opinion that to make a living or proper money from gambling you need to know stuff others dont.....betting strategies,studying form etc etc is so time consuming that over the course of a lifetime you will probably of made more money in the same time plastering ceilings !! I,ll have a bet on anything but its just good old competitive fun for me.
  14. I would think a coach like McCracken will probably be drilling him on technical stuff,finding chinks in an opponent you have already fought to exploit and trying to build his confidence after a pride hurting loss. My opinion and my advice would be f**k all that......get back to doing what got you here.....kill or be killed,all eggs in one basket....go out and try to take his head off inside 3 rounds......its too late in the lads career for technical learning when the foundation instincts are not there. But then im an all or nothing person and maybe thats why im not a boxing trainer ?
  15. Oh i didnt see this....think ive already answered the " did he/didnt he " thing. As regards all the inspirational quotes what you have to remember mate is Joshua is under constant pressure to be the media darling and nations sweetheart.....drug dealing black street kid to fit healthy world champion....." you too can be like me ".....half of what comes out of his gish has been written down for him by nice helpful image consultants and pc luvvies !......get the lad on his own away from a camera and he,ll talk as rough and ready as the next street kid. As regards the betting i dont have
  16. Its still there....whenever i go back there including last night we have a walk under there the dual carriageway above it is a lot busier than it used to be and now i walk through it with a couple of Wolves pals i meet whenever we play them so its all much more harmonious than younger days ?......whos your team mate ?
  17. Its a conversation ive had with a lot of people mate and no i dont think he quit....did he look like he wanted to fight on,not really..... so he quit right ?......this is my take on it. As a fighter who has served your time in the amateurs as a boy,all through the schoolboy champs and then turn pro you develop certain instincts that stay with you through your career....things that become second nature....one of those things that all fighters have experienced is the desire to convince a referee you are ok to continue.....Joshua doesnt have those instincts,he was fast tracked through his ca

    Shit,sorry all....my mistake.
  19. No complaints here mate the better side won we was woeful.....cracking atmosphere in your ground though and a good little night out in your fair city afterwards.....always an area i remember with affection the West Midlands although its getting harder to watch yous becoming this poor mans Man City/Chelsea ?
  20. Shame that....im no cricket fan but as Baker Boy said that generation Willis,Botham,Gower,Derek Randall was it.....iconic figures for chaps of our age.....i remember Willis with that massive long run up and big fluffy wig bouncing up and down as he hurtled down to bowl....iconic English sportsman.
  21. Yep great post squire....97% of it went straight over my head but it sounds like you know your shit thats good enough for me ?
  22. Wilf it was diabolical.....i dont know if ive ever told you that Mark Nobles legs have gone ?....but if Pellegrini couldnt see that last night then i dont know how he has gone as far as he has in the game....i dont claim to be a tactical genius i havent played the game so dont profess to know as much as others,but f**k me its so obvious our problems are not in defence as some claim its our midfield we constantly get overun and end up with Anderson dropping deep to link up with Rice because Nobles legs constantly leave him out of position,even without the ball he,s holding the side back !.....a
  23. Random hatred of football clubs is great i love it.....we,ve all got 1 or 2 ? Stiffy let it go now son it will just make it all feel so much worse when they lift the trophy.

    Oh no thats a shame is that the Irish chap that used to set about the mountain goats i enjoyed reading his little write ups.....terrible news,you can never tell whats round the corner....Rest in Peace.
  25. In a fight as close as this id rather bet with a few mates than give bookies my money....im not really sure whos going to win my instinct tells me a similar outcome to the first fight but i admire Joshuas outlook on the sport....started late but got in cracked on with things made as much money as possible,hasnt had to run round shouting his mouth off to sell himself.....just a proper competitor i always like that kill or be killed attitude in a fight or in life as well.....win or lose he will have done the best he could in the sport on the talent he had,no excuses.
