Thats why ive avoided the whole book generation thing they are hardly a rounded view of someones character are they....." ive been shot 10 times...stabbed 25 times...won hundreds of bareknuckle fights..... but theres something i dont really want anyone to know so we,ll skip over that part of my life "

The way of most teams visiting Old Trafford is to keep it tight for the first 60 minutes then try and nick something later on. Big Sams way is to try and nick something in the first 4 minutes then lock the doors for the next 86 minutes !

The trouble with iconic figures is they cloud our judgement we almost feel guilty for wanting them out even though its the right thing to do.....Robson/Newcastle.....Dalglish/Liverpool....Clough/Forest etc......it shouldnt tarnish their reputation or our admiration for them......if Chelsea drop to mid table will they want Mourinho out,of course they will thats perfectly normal but it wont stop him being an iconic figure at the club....as it hasnt with the others mentioned.

That would depend if you accept him as being part of the human race,plenty of folk dont. As regards pro/bareknuckle its a silly comparison to make nobody would choose to fight bareknuckle instead of turning pro its just something you fall into if you either cant get or are not good enough to get a pro licence.

so where do you rate Lenny McLean ? Could he have went far in the pro game? Lennie was near unbeatable without gloves....with gloves he probably wouldnt of made it as a pro,particularly when you think Johnny Waldron knocked him out in the first round twice and he was only a southern area title standard light heavyweight.....Lennie was a fearsome fighting man but he wasnt a boxer. was he ever defeated bare knuckle? Have you ever heard of any pros going into the bare scene and doing well?Yes the first time he fought pretty boy shaw he got beatI think the fella is asking about bareknuckle......n

What was the story with Bobby Robson i cant remember now ?......If not for the fact he became a national treasure would it of been seen as " bad craic " ? Its a bit like with our Bobby Moore,there were fans saying they wanted to see the back of him a good few years before he actually went yet today you would be stabbed round here for saying a bad word about him ......everything bad go,s out the window when a sportsman takes on iconic status. By the way if im not wrong Newcastle had the highest average attendance in history for a club outside the top flight with 48k in 2007 whenever it

Havent worked it out but thats got to be at least 50/1 ?........not a bad bet at all might have a bit of that myself

The black guy Bert Cooper was a good pro in his day,he was only ever a pumped up cruiserweight but fought for a world heavyweight title......went on to become a bit of a journeyman sadly but still shows the gap between pro and street !

Its certainly a sign of how low Man Utd have sunk when we West Ham are going into a game at their place worrying what our strike force is going to be !!......However i dont get carried away i think we,re maybe being a touch presumptious thinking we are going to be doing a lot of attacking.....players of the quality of Rooney/Di Maria/Van Persie/Falcao have the ability to keep us long enough on the back foot to not get ahead of ourself and just make sure we do the basics well. Downing has had a new lease of life from somewhere i know that much !
-
My little West Ham are proof that it doesnt always pay to get a kid into the academy of the " bigger clubs ".....infact until somethings brought in place to force clubs to have a certain amount of English kids he,ll probably have a better chance with a lesser club..............good luck to him

While i admit to being one of those pushy parents who are shit themself ....it was certainly nothing to do with ego,my boy signed schoolboy forms with Leyton Orient and probably had the talent to make a decent pro unfortunately he just didnt have the hunger and desire...... i just couldnt understand that myself and we fell out over it but i think its the most natural thing in the world to want to encourage our kids to succeed in something we love ourself......we just need to know where to draw the line and i didnt unfortunately.You say your lads not a natural but does a kid have to be ?......

Muslim Protesters Attack Car With Children In It In Enfield
gnasher16 replied to Wildling's topic in General Talk
I recognise where that is its Southbury Rd just along from Southbury station.....surprising really as there are 1 or 2 white people round there !........only a matter of time before they start trying to throw their weight around in the wrong area then lets see if 20 years running round after Stephen Lawrence mum was a sensible move. -
Maybe with both sides in poor form they,ll both throw caution to the wind and play an open attacking game ?.......3 - 2 Liverpool.

I watched it twice does that make me a callous orriible c**t ......everyones different mate,animals in pain aint nice but i,ll suffer it.....kids i dont even want to read about it....even on here some of the debates about paedophiles i cant even bring myself to read them !
-
Man will always have the desire to test himself......and to test the animals he owns/breeds..............we can skim over that with morals and principals all we like.......but it still remains and the proof is there for all to see.

Im a neutral so couldnt give a shit either way.....but having just checked a website it shows season to season Sunderland have not had a bigger average attendance than Newcastle this millenium !.... infact in only 3 of them years have Newcastle dropped below 50k whereas Sunderland have been as low as 27k and 28k .......just as well you put " IMO " in capital letters Max
-
Understandable point mate, you just have to be honest about what's sits right with ya.....now that may have no logic but that's how it is. To put it into prospective a bit of just what this yank was attempting to do, I once went with a mate to shoot a sheep that had been injured (many, many years ago) so we grab it and put a .22 rimfire pistol to its head.......Bang, the bullet just bounced off from point blank......we had to place the muzzle at a very precise place behind the ear to get the bullet into the brain. Now imagine a 3oz arrow on a 5 ton elephant ??..........I don't know what s

They been there, they'd have the pitchforks out if they thought Sam was heading back there! I forgot he,s already been there thats a good point......they got away with about 6 months though if i remember right

Quite often the telling thing about rival clubs is what the neutral thinks and which club your average away fan will make the effort to go to......like it or not Max when most fans around the country think of the North East they think of Newcastle and for that reason a lot of fans who pick and choose their away matches will pick the Newcastle game over Sunderland....for lots of reasons.....that certainly applies to a lot of fans of London clubs anyway.
-
I agree with Bornhunter i cant see what gives one species of animal more value than another when you want it dead.......nobody likes killing for killings sake but thats a " why " question not a " how " question.........seems like a lot of high morals and principals come out when it comes to a big loveable Elephant that dont come out when its a plain ol fox/bunny etc
-
Id have Pardew back in a heartbeat the last success we had was with him.....promotion,top 10 premiership and an Fa Cup final till some silly Icelandic f****r who thought we were Man Utd jogged him on ! .......ok Newcastle aint as big as the mighty Hammers but they could do a lot worse fancy a swap ? .......see he,s bad but he,s not that bad

Seen enough of the bollocks my daughter used to put on it to know it aint for me !.. By the way did Del and Rodders ever find Freddie the Frogs gold?
