  1. And tonights homework is......" sobriquet " and " demarcation "......keep them coming Mackem its always good to sling a long word in now and again it keeps the ol woman on her toes For what its worth i think Gaz has got it just about bang on i think when you hunt/fish/compete with animals you cant have a foot on each side of the fence in terms of whats acceptable and whats not.
  2. I dont think body type has anything to do with it these lads are all highly tuned athletes these days performing at very low bodyweight as they are surrounded by dieticians sports scientists etc......players like Bale/Ronaldo yes are tremendous natural athletes but thats just a speed/acceleration thing for the most part players are physically quite similar its quite obvious to me these England players suffer some kind of mental block when they pull an England shirt on.......why that is we can guess at all day long but i dont think theres any doubt that players like Ali/Kane who performed fanta
  3. Your right they wont ask him....but if they did i know for 100% he would tell them to get f****d......and rightly so.......i must admit i think Max is right whether you want to call them yes men im not sure......i would call them society darlings.........people who will put a happy healthy light on football in our society........and it go,s right through our game look at the way football constantly has to " represent " controversial issues in society.......John Terry as an example.......like him or loathe him he is the best central defender England has produced in 50 years........but he called
  4. Just dont be tempted into them short shallow little breaths make sure you regularly get your lungs fully inflated the last thing you want is fluid building up.......and keep active........wish you the best mate its no fun.
  5. Just makes sense all round dont it Baz.......i was in the company of someone quite high up in British boxing a while ago and put it to him........the answer i got was no promoter would risk the mayhem of a fight not going ahead once the paying customers were in the door should a fighter miss the weight.
  6. Theres nothing private going on Stan the lad makes sure of that.......he wants you all to see so it is your business. But yes,the first thoughts of most proper people ive ever come across would of been the same as yours im sure.
  7. Because ive never been a stranger to violence and dont shy away from it means i dont have to travel to another country to find trouble if thats what im after..... and its quite often a bit more scarey than Russian lads in short trousers and white trainers Like ive said before.....we dont all need the safety of our internet shield to confront people..........only an observation.
  8. Usually the kind of grown man who has never had a fight in his life .
  9. Talking of humour.....did anyone clock the Hodgson press conference when Martin Glen said " i don't know much about football but...........bla bla bla ".......this is one of the most powerful men in English football responsible for selecting our next national team manager !!!.......unbelievable........as if Hodgson wasnt slippery enough trying to do a quick dash after the final whistle with a " im outta here " mentality we then have to suffer the indignity of a fish finger marketer,a few estate agents,a female Jamaican barrister and Roland Rats inventor telling us how they will be giving the m
  10. You dont seriously think Briggs is going anywhere do you mate ?.........has he really sold himself to you ?
  11. My reason for sipping Pimms from a balcony and watching football,instead of running round the streets like kids.......is that we went over there to sip Pimms from our balcony and watch football......we ran around the streets like kids......when we were kids......i got football hooliganism out of my system years ago as you could of done if you had been up for it. You see Max i dont look for trouble and antagonise people i have absolutely no intentions of facing up to.......now tell me,whats your reason for antagonising people you have no intentions of facing up to..... going to such lengths
  12. WTF has greyhounds got to do with boxing if you want to make a comparison to dogs a game bred conditioned pit can go for 3 hours Yes but do they have big muscles that fill up with the dreaded " lactic acid "
  13. Was he blowing ?....yes of course he was he was in a fight......was he flustered ? yes of course he was he was in a fight. Did he fall apart and lose shape,distance and concentration ?.....not from where i was sitting no.
  14. .....​and you say you have conditioned dogs !!......" big muscles fill up with lactic acid "...................what are we back in the ,s before people understood H+ and muscular ph.....Max you are aware of the way that protein is made up of " acids " and the way refined carbs effects ph arent you....C02 is a by - product of carb metabolism your body gets rid of it by breathing.....so unless big Josh stops breathing i wouldnt worry too much about lactic acid. Once again......people want to find the most absolutely irrelevant tiny detail to worry about to give the impression they know more
  15. Wouldn't be surprised if he never fights fury tbh. In fact would be surprised if fury fights againWhys that beacuse of the fake actuations from one newspaper no official Boxing associations No because nobody is interested in the rematch really. The first fight sucked. I'm not even sure fury is interested I disagree i think fans of boxing are much more interested in this fight than the first one.........this one will tell us whether Klitchsko is/was washed up and the actual level of opponent Fury beat.
  16. Although i agree people do say some silly things about big Josh at times......gym stamina is not the same as ring stamina mate im sure you know yourself.......ive seen lads do 12 hard paced rounds in the gym that come the fight were on empty after 7 or 8......adrenalin,heat,nerves,the occasion..........will all eat into your fuel tank come fight night.......when you hear a corner telling a fighter to relax its not just to settle into the fight its so he doesnt burn up stamina controlling your breathing is so important in a fight.
  17. FIghts have always been lost on the scales its nothing new.......its the amount that fighters can now drop.......and that just go,s hand in hand with todays understanding of sport science and nutrition you cant stop progress you have to bring new rules out to compliment fighters evolving in a sport thats standing still in my opinion.
  18. Im not talking about later in the day or a few hours after the weigh in.....im talking about f****n off these 30 minute ring entrances and getting the weigh in done with the introductions......as in hearing the first bell within 5/10 minutes of weighing in.........miss the weight and lose your purse........simple.
  19. So by and large it was pretty much like every other tournament then pal ?......haha Jokes aside, the paddys were queuing up to give it me large last night when I got to football !.......my main enjoyment has been watching how well the West Ham players have been doing. I have been proud as punch to see how good they are and think that they play for our little club. Anyway, a few of my pals were in Nice and the weather looked tidy so at least you get that as comfort Seems like our boy Payet is stealing the show on the pitch and Super Slavs stealing the show in the tv studio from w
  20. Only time i ever lived in West London was in the Scrubs as a kid .....no not me chief.
  21. Its pretty much all been covered already.....but the weight a fighter gains between weighing in and fighting is the weight he will be working off during the fight....all fighters lose weight during a fight,if he hasnt rehydrated his body correctly he then hasnt got the weight to come off during the fight hence leaving himself raw and in a vulnerable position physically.....also as has been said the brain injuries that often occur are due to the lack of fluid surrounding the brain.....again due to dehydration......the brain sits in a pocket of fluid that acts as a cushion for the brain a bit li
  22. I think you,ll actually find in most areas theres rewards for that type of thing.......but i agree in theory.
  23. Many happy returns oldun get ya plates up in front of the telly and pig out on the icing.
  24. I aint gonna start on you again Wilf as we,ve had it out before ....​..but since ive been following West Ham theres been 5 times in all those years we have been relegated......it broke my heart every single time but not once did i ever say or even think " f**k it im not following that shit anymore "........why do otherwise loyal sensible chaps throw the towel in when it comes to England but not their club i genuinely dont get it........its almost a form of glory hunting.
  25. Not my cuppa tea but who are we to tell folk what to do if thats their traditions......i went to a couple many years ago only because i was trying my luck with a little senorita.... i was told taking a treacle to a bullfight before a meal was romantic and the done thing......just a shame her brothers didnt think so ! Must admit its been great reading Bryans posts on the subject its always interesting listening to genuine knowledge rather than second hand gossip and opinions thankyou squire .......didnt realise there was so much involved......different bloodlines of bull for different style
