  1. You have to favour the South American countries on their own path i fancy the Argies to lift the trophy............England will do well to get out of our group,which i think we have a good chance of doing now the pressure is off.
  2. Im glad he,s going to Forest i feared he might be turned into a bit of a yes man with the England set up but as gte said it will be good to see some young English managers coming through and testing themself.......hope to see them back competing at the top over the coming years.
  3. For any boxing fans this weeks Ringside program tonight is dedicated to East End gyms West Ham BC,Peacock,Trad and looks at fighters/trainers young and old from this area,a few good old friends of mine have a say about why the area is such a hotbed for boxing talent.......Sky Sports 3 at 9.30........the only drawback is dosey Dyer gets in on the act.....but still should be an interesting watch.
  4. " 3 x 12 for the best part nothing heavy " " 3 x 8 sets " etc etc etc Its the perfect example of being dictated to by numbers !..................let your body dictate your training not numbers.............you are not going to have the exact same strength/energy/aggression levels every single session............one day you might be able to push out 10 reps,so do you stop at 8 when you can squeeze 2 more out ?..................another day you may only be able to do 6,so do you force another 2 out and possibly injure yourself just to abide by some numbers on a sheet of paper ?...........
  5. Without meaning it to sound like im looking down my bugle...............my training routines have never stood still long enough to remember them in detail..........as should anybodys seriously into their lifting .................infact i dont think ive ever had the same routine for more than a few months so im f****d if i could remember 1 months training from 15 years ago !!
  6. I had a cheeky few bob on a draw tonight............i fancy Utd in the next leg.....psycologically that will have done them the world of good tonight.
  7. Nothings up..............have you heard of hsam ?...................if not then look it up i think you might have it ...............I dont remember my training routines in that much detail from last month......let alone 15 years ago
  8. The theory is correct.....basic heavy compounds........for beginners less is more ..........the old Mike Mentzer principals are still in use today and a philosophy i very much agree with.
  9. Max im seriously starting to wonder if your playing with a full deck !

    Sunderland won the league between about 1890 and 1920 !!!!!!....................If thats not moving the goalposts to suit your argument i dont know what is Max................you lost son......just take it on the chin like a proper chap should
  11. One of the biggest mistakes ive seen people make over the years is playing the numbers game.....................whether its weight or amount the single biggest reason people stop going to gyms is de - motivation ................and de - motivation is brought on by becoming obssessed with numbers ! " I MUST get 200 grams of protein down my neck "..............." I MUST do the 12th rep of this 4th set "......" I MUST put another 5 kg on my bench press "......." I MUST get to 17 stone within 12 weeks ".............." I MUST have 19" biceps within 3 years "......" I MUST train each bodypart ev

    I think it might just be how YOU view it Max...............the fact the Sunderland crowd booed their players off at half time is evidence enough You was playing a side that only attacks in the first 10 minutes of each half.....if in that time we score we spend the other 70 minutes of the game hanging onto it !!............Like i say its not my cup of tea but it can be effective especially against a side as poor as Sunderland were for most of the game last night.

    No was i f**k !......had something important to do this morning......if it had been a saturday id of been all over it but a Monday night was never going to help the away side......so all things considered it was a good result. Got to say i fear for your lot now when you was down our place earlier in the year i thought Sunderland were a decent side and couldnt see them going down...............but i thought they was awful for 70 minutes till they scored last night.

    Where this new found rivalry with Sunderland has come from i dont know ...id never given them a second thought till Max piped up as a die hard fan ( this season ) But keeping it relevant to our life times..........in the last 50 years West Ham have won 3 x Fa Cup,1 x European Cup Winners Cup,1 x Intertoto Cup..........Sunderland have won 1 x Fa Cup.

    The players Sam has brought in are not good enough to play that style of football no..........but that is not the style that The Acadamy of Football encourages...........an academy that has produced many of the countries top players remember I dont have an issue with Sam....he is what he is and any club he manages has to accept thats how he plays...........you wouldnt expect Roy Keane to have the flair of Ryan Giggs you just appreciate what he is good at.........same with Allardyce he,s not my cup of tea but he has done what he,s good at and done it pretty well. Id love to see the bac

    Oi !!!...............Dont forget the Intertoto Cup
  17. People often say they train like they did years ago but the results are not the same........thats just life our bodies react differently the older we get,the key is the same as anything else.....the basic theory still applies we just need to make subtle changes in our approach its like a bodybuilder when he reaches a plateau you cant just stand still and ride it out you have to make small changes that push the muscles into further growth........hence knowledge is a big part in bodybuilding. Hard gaining for an old hand is completely different for hard ganining as a newcomer/youngster......con
  18. images.jpg Is that Trafalgar Square i dont have my microscope to hand ................if it is then thats not where they go old Livingstone put paid to that !
  19. Just shows as much as we think we know.......nature always knows best.....................i often wonder what happens to these racing pigeons that dont return home whether they survive off their wits or just succumb.....i wouldnt imagine they last long.
  20. Fascinating stuff.....i wonder then how many generations of captive breeding it takes a wild bird species to lose its........wildness....for want of a better phrase. Sounds like the bird had a lucky reprieve there Fireman......interesting little story though.

    No doubt the bully and bandit sympathisers will express their sorrow .............i mean we cant have people feeling offended now can we !..............id spend some time thinking up something to be offended about myself but im saving up to be Jewish instead !
  22. Denny Mancini you mean yes he died a few years back,Duff was the last of that generation he was dealing with the massive names of the sport in England people like Jarvis Astaire,Levene,Terry Lawless,Ernie Fossey.....all gone now.... these men paved the way for people like Frank Warren,Hearn etc to get British fighters top money on par with the yanks.....they were the driving force in the game in Britain it was their wisdom and guile that got the money flowing for British fighters..... Duff had great vision he could see fights before they were even thought of he got the timing for his fighters
  23. Duff knew the game inside out he could do it all manage,promote,matchmaker.....he was a proper old school hustler who could work a pound note as well as anybody could.....he wasnt an intelligent man but was very streetwise i remember years ago when he knew my ol fella and would give me and my brother free tickets for fights at the Royal Albert Hall when we were kids,then later on in the ,s i crossed paths with him a few times.................didnt see him for years after that until a couple of years ago an old boy i knew wanted to go and visit him as they were old friends and i took him,Duff w
  24. City are just about the strongest side ive seen in recent years i cant see them slipping up.
