John Fashanu for me.................i couldnt believe it when he pulled an England shirt on ................James Beattie was another one....... Matt Jarvis as well.....had a good season in a Wolves relegation side ............so Sam Allardyce go,s and pays 10 mill for him Phil Neville is another that springs to mind i,ll never forgive that f****n clown for Euro 2000 !!
-
We moan about players diving and cheating......................it pales into insignificance compared to this corrupt c**t if its proven he shouldnt just lose his job he should face criminal charges.
-
The marketting and selling of big fights is no different to it ever was its just the audience has changed......look at the biggest promoters through history Don King,Arum even the Duva,s years ago would all hype a fight up beyond belief........the top promoters here in England never did that as it was a different type of audience back then.... today people go to boxing as a social occasion probably only 5% of that 80k crowd the other night were true fans of boxing but fighters who create controversy are a promoters dream..............i dont buy into myself an interesting match up is what gets
-
Yes i do think Groves is that good technically......he totally outboxed and dominated Froch for three quarters of their first fight yet didnt build on that in the second................I could have the most lethal shotgun in the world,if i dont know how to use it i wont do damage with it.......plenty of fighters never reach the potential their talent suggests they can but itscertainly annoying when the thing that holds them back is arrogance.
-
Get what you pay for......if im not going to hear the punches getting home id rather watch it on telly ............ive said it before and last night was a good example......80k people and the atmosphere was nowhere near as good as 1200 people in the York Hall.
-
yeah i only ever go in the cheap seats ..........ive watched footie up in the skys at Wembley before that was bad enough......but watching a fight from right up there i dont get that be better watching it on the telly......atmosphere i suppose.
-
Think how you would feel if you had paid 1500 then .....Not that i paid that much mind you.
-
I cant see Groves ever winning a world title.............annoys me in a way the arrogance some of these young fighters have,what some of us would of done for half their ability.......yet he seems to think he is beyond guidance........this will be a good indicator of where exactly Groves is at as a character. Stylistically i fancied Groves to upset Froch based on their first meeting but you cant go into a fight against someone like Froch with no real plan and think you can just coast through on ability alone......id be very surprised if he stays with his current trainer. Where Froch go,

Many thanks to you chaps who donated .....passed by the statue yesterday certainly a nice piece of work. The day went well apparently there was a good turn out and a nice few bob raised Then went to another local statue to pay our respects.....cant believe where the time has gone but 20 years this month since a lovely lad close to me paid the ultimate price.....Bradley Stone was a close family friend and a real rough little kid out the flats just trying to do his best in the sport he loved.......god i miss that cheeky little smile.....20 years and never forgotten RIP.
-
Crazy as it sounds....the big advantage Frank had was he didnt win an Olympic gold !!................Olympic medals mean instant fame and are a complete hindrance on pro fighters in my opinion...................outside London nobody knew who Frank was till he,d had 20 odd pro fights under his belt these kids today are scrutinized from day 1 and it does them no good in my opinion. Who knows where Joshua will go any more than hundreds of other 5 fight pros starting out on the long road to success.......yes he,s a big strong hard hitting kid.....does he have the insides for it ? does he have the
-
Well what a turn up that was.....havent watched it back on telly yet but i think the last thing anyone expected was a tactical stand off with boos ringing round the gaff i thought it was a pretty poor fight really all things considered.............i cant for the life of me understand why Groves wasnt trying to build on the success he had in the first fight he got it totally wrong in my opinion,far too passive,didnt use any angles just stood in front of him......i have to say last nights show was the perfect example for me of just how important getting the best trainer you can is....im always b
-
Most of the mid round betting was at least 28/1 and 33/1 Groves................8th round ko with Betfred was 28/1 dont know what you was doing there Stig
-
15 years down the toilet over money.......................id choose my friends more carefully.
-
You dont get to the level Froch is at through being driven by money.............money motivates anyone but at this stage of his career its pure competetive spirit that gets you through a training camp. Must admit im looking forward to this show tomorrow more than ive looked forward to a show in a long time my boy Kevin Mitchell has a big crossroads fight once thats out the way i,ll be able to relax and watch the Froch fight but for all the hype and bullshit surrounding these 2 its a genuinely interesting fight that you just cant see being anything other than exciting to watch.

Trust a scouser !!............Ive just come back off holiday with a scouser pal of mine and his wife. .....they do say the true test of friendship is going on holiday together....f**k me am i glad to be back amongst my own ok i,ll send you one.........................with a blue aerosol can

Not that easy for some of us though mate is it.....love is blind and all that Anyway thankyou chaps,every little helps.......feel free to chuck the link up on any other forums yous go on where a few more folk might sign......cheers
-
Hope you enjoyed your day mate i was well chuffed for you..... heres a pic a mate of mine took on the Holloway Rd. Just a little appeal to any footie fans really, maybe you could take 5 minutes to have a read and hopefully sign the petition if you agree......an old ex fighter mate of mine Roy has been going on about this for ages and it seems to be picking up momentum.....its something that could happen to any of us at any time and is a complete injustice to a good man who has done a lot of work in keeping young boys off the street.......Islington Boys Club probably wouldnt be around
-
Oh right ok im not sure then.....i thought you meant of a show thats already taken place i was going to say im in gyms every other day i could of just swiped one off the wall when nobodies looking ...........well i,ll keep my peepers open for you anyway mate.
-
Great result that mate i was rooting for them.....of all the players for it to fall to id stake my life on Bobby Zamora he took a lot of stick at West Ham but never any doubt about his class....hopefully a few quid spent in the summer and its onwards and upwards. I was told although its normal for natives to build a nest outside a pan its quite rare for canaries to.....but yes lesson learned there .....my lot only seem to be laying 2 eggs i dont know why that is.....nice healthy chicks but only 2 eggs per round any ideas ?
-
Just tried to message you as well Stig its having none of it though.....yes i,ll get you one mate anything in particular old/recent.....certain fighters etc ?
-
We was on about this earlier......i know nothing about the man im sure he,s a decent trainer.......but i truly believe with Adam Booth on board Groves would of taken the first fight,likewise this one coming up.......sometimes when everything else is as close as it is a top trainer can make all the difference in the world......something im pretty sure Tyson Fury will soon find out as well.....................i feel for Groves in that way,its something that made his last performance against Froch all the more remarkable in my opinion.
-
If i had to put my gaff on it mate id be 60/40 in favour of Groves.
-
Just flicked through some of the posts so sorry if im repeating anything thats already been said.....it strikes me how differently big fights are promoted these days compared to years ago it seems we,re getting nearer and nearer to that silly boys wwf wrestling nowadays and its horrible to see........sadly it leads us the fans to analyse fighters as personalities as much as we analyse them as fighters and thats a shame ! Im of the opinion Groves can make this fight as hard or as easy as he likes......he got over confident last time and engaged when he didnt need to,if he cuts all the macho
