  1. Come on mate you've played sport,nobody likes the amount of simulation/cheating thats in the game but you'd have to be naive as f**k to think every footballer that falls over rolling around is a delicate little mincer......a cheat yes. And lets not pretend it didnt happen in the good old days when men were men its the nature of top level sport to try and get an edge over an opponent.....if you wanted to give a young lad " life lessons about physical and mental robustness " as you say then you wouldnt take him anywhere near elite level sport you'd take him down his local boys club where t
  2. I kind of skipped over this as it didnt seem to warrant a reply but after reading it again f**k me what a funny world you must live in Probably the most brutal and punishing fight in the history of the sport and you're calling one of them a cur for crying out loud
  3. Are we actually going to pretend that Fury just " ties up on the inside " then ?.....what would he gain from doing that ? Fury doesnt " tie up " he mauls......he doesnt " hold " he drags his weight down. Dont be afraid to say it he does these things for a reason and it works. Regards the Ali/Frazier bouts you are wrong,but such iconic fights just dont belong in a conversation about Tyson Fury sorry.
  4. Was it the Liverpool/Newcastle 4 - 3 when Collymore scored the winner and Keegan just put his head in his hands....think that went down as one of the greatest games in Premier League history didnt it......wouldnt say that game tonight was far off.
  5. Do you not find they lose a lot of ambition over a certain size though ? i just find it hard to believe its possible to put any real kind of condition on a big bulky 90/100 lb dog some of them big protection dogs just seem like visual deterrents to me as opposed to actual useful working dogs.
  6. Thats fair enough we cant pretend the game is as pure and honest as it once was but the trade off for that is we now get to watch some of the greatest players from around the world week in week out.....i dont get these people who rant on about what fairies players are like its some kind of toughman competition....whoever decided footballers should be macho any more than a cricketer or tennis player should be....ive never quite understood that. You chose the right team to follow anyway mate
  7. Must have had pals as a kid though mate no ?.....we was all latch key kids round our way " dont come back till its dark " and all that.....you just find a way as kids though dont you,maybe it is just different rules in different areas round our way if you didnt fight,thieve or kick a ball you was looked at as either a bit weird or a bender....not saying thats right of course. Best thing you can do for a kid today in my opinion,put as many different sports and hobbies in front of them as possible and let them find their own talent and passions.
  8. Think the modern term is " game management " ?......cant be conceding 2 goals that late on....and after being 2 nil down as well.....as old Greavsie used to say its a funny old game.
  9. Brilliant game there Chelsea and Utd i enjoyed that....bit of a mad turnout for us Hammers when we're cheering Chelsea on because we're chasing Man Utd for the last European spot.....some player that Cole Palmer.
  10. Good giggle aint it " How much is that mate ? " " 50 " " I'll give you 5 " " Ok "
  11. I know i come across somewhat repetitive about the move mate but to me its behind everything so then when i get into it with yous who wanted it even 7 or 8 years later i just cant see past it........as a good pal of mine puts it, " you took my childhood sweetheart off me,knobbed her,got all your mates to knob her,and then handed her back to me " Hasnt been the best month with the little club got turned over 2 nil at home to our local rivals last week,just cant seem to get any consistency at the moment we're Brazil one week and Barnet the next.....constant Tuesday - Saturday games isnt he
  12. And yes i didnt quite twig there.......cant see it now mate Leverkusen are some side we was unlucky drawing them but who knows eh
  13. Yes they are demanding what we already had......sorry Wilf but it will always come back to the move with me.....maybe im just too scarred by it to move on i dont know No,its lads who want to see a bit of football that wins games and takes us to " the next level "......thats how yous all described it as i remember......we used to be pretty humble yes,now we have an entitlement. I wouldnt disagree.....but that " seeing the game played right " went down the list of priorities when we moved....it got replaced by the thing you are putting aside.......again,its just not our club any
  14. The lads on the phone in thing had a " be careful what you wish for/grass is always greener " outlook ....it was interesting to listen to as they were knowledgeable fans with a " you lot have changed your tune " attitude regards West Ham. The reality is we havent changed our tune at all the " new fans " who wanted to be a big club have.....laughably its Moyse who gave THEM everything they wanted but now they dont want him because he doesnt give us what we already had !!
  15. Not heard of that so just looked it up looks nice enough and being early in the season waiters/locals will be all enthusiastic and wont be sick and tired of English people yet Yeah dont change up too much more than your likely to spend of course or you'll lose out exchanging it back....happy hols and all that.
  16. Ive got absolutely no idea what your on about but brilliant that is when you hear folk that have taken the time to learn and understand new stuff whether its something you yourself are interested in or not.
  17. Agreed.....maybe it was just our area but i always thought there was something a bit odd about chaps who made a point of telling you they dont like football,its our national sport for a reason what did they do at school when all the other boys were nattering about the footie....same for most of the other subjects you'd either have to be the most boring b*****d in the world or a bit of a loner to not have the yap about lifes topics when around the chaps.
  18. Just change up enough to get you off and running once you're there for the first day then change the bulk of your money up once there mate you'll get a better rate....never change it all up this side. Whereabouts you going anyway ?....i get over to Istanbul a few times a year but some nice beaches down in the south Olu Deniz and suchlike.
  19. Its funny with Moyse im not too fussed either way whether he stays or go's to be honest i think he's done a brilliant job getting all these " new fans " what they wanted ......but now having tasted a bit of European football,nicking a trophy and experiencing the things with your pals you dont think you'll ever experience as a West Ham fan i just feel a bit nonplussed about Moyse now.....as a club we gave up on everything we valued so to now make demands is a bit rich. On the way home from the game last night i was listening to Talksport and they had at least 3 Everton fans phone in talki
  20. Wasnt too disappointed with our lot i thought we had some good spells in the game,probably a fair result Moyse made a few terrible decisions...but then they are only terrible decisions when they dont work i suppose. Thought the second penalty was absolutely diabolical ,how Philips can get tackled from behind in his own box and the opposing player go's down and gets a penalty for it is a mystery to me....apart from that no complaints really,cracking atmosphere as always in the ground and a good game to watch.
  21. Most of these big dogs look like they'd be blowing out of their arse after 10 minutes proper exertion are they soft bodied or just not blessed genetically......i always felt with pit bulls years ago once you went above about 55/60 lb you lost a lot of drive and desire....they was much harder to condition and you generally lost muscle tone and physical strength and quality the bigger they got....different breeds i know but cant imagine its much different,bigger isnt always better with performance dogs.
  22. Ive eaten in pretty much all the top London restaurants over the years at one time or another and have narrowed it down to a small list of 7 or 8 that i'll use regularly......theres a massive difference between posh and classy ....classy restaurants dont have to be posh but posh restaurants have to be classy and thats where most poncey snobby gaffs get it wrong in my opinion.
  23. How do you work that out ? Ali had no real size/weight advantage....when he held in the clinch it was for the same reason any fighter holds in the clinch,not to drain his opponent with a 6 inch height and 3 stone weight advantage like Fury does....likewise Lewis/Klitschko were both the same size.....and no holding and hitting is not permitted and shouldnt be tolerated by any decent referee....particularly when one fighter is gaining a significant advantage from doing it. I remember refs years ago like old Harry Gibbs or Dave Parris would of given you 2 warnings then you're out of there...
