  1. I dont really follow it closely Tomo who is he is he British ?.....Has he gone under 10 seconds do you know ?......I tried putting his name in but found nothing.
  2. gonetoearth comparing amateur sport to professional is just silly really its like comparing sunday pub football to the premier league and saying they are the same we know in a romantic ideal world everyone competes on a level playing field but lifes just not like that its like anything it gets more serious,more intense and more sacrifices need to be made the higher you go......in anything not just sport..... I honestly admire your outlook.....and its a typical amateur sport outlook.....but when peoples livings and futures are on the line the heat is turned up im afraid.
  3. Their taking the piss now..................is this what our " help a starving African " money is now going on,f****n leisure activities !
  4. Its only very recently that a dog actually has to do something wrong to be put down......for years before that it was based simply on what a dog looked like.............no different to Auschwich or Belsen................and thats ok with you is it......royal society for the PREVENTION of cruelty to animals ....but just plain killing them is fine.
  5. Was racking my brains then trying to think who had the nickname " desktop " ....your right though its unfair the way we treat managers......we choose them after all !
  6. Because over the last few years he has been the fastest sprinter in Britain.......simple !.....Should everyone stay at home whos unlikely to get a medal then ? Look we can argue the moralities of ped,s all day long they are here and anybody competing at the highest level of certain sports accepts that.......my point was you talk about steroids as cheating and artificial.....yet dont appear to have any problem with other scientifically researched products that aid performance...... Do you think Ayrton Senna would turn in his grave if he knew the advancements made in Formula 1....no he woul
  7. I dont think we,re overated i just think our expectations are too high........people constantly link success to money and it just dont work like that.....what reason is there to think we should have more success than the other top footie countries of Europe....Spain Germany Holland Italy France etc........if we could reach the semis at the Euro,s that would be a good achievement in my book. As a nation the public dont help but this era wont be any different to the shit Taylor,Venables Hoddle or any of the others got......even Bobby Robson took stick and he,s a god like figure now !!......We a
  8. Ok Malt maybe that was an exaggeration......but in the last few months leading up to this appointment ive spoke with fans up and down the country and without any shadow of doubt Harry was by far the majority of peoples favorite.....95 % maybe not......but very few folk ive spoke to had Hodgsons name on the tip of their tongue its easy for folk to come out after saying they are happy with him but they wasnt saying they wanted him beforehand. Im happy with him compared to another foreigner.....but compared to Redknapp no.
  9. Yep Everton would be up there as well.........Not sure they would be above Arsenal but certainly 2 clubs who live within their means and have relative success doing so.........how ironic they both just happen to be 2 of the most traditional old clubs,longest serving clubs in top flight football,longest serving managers in top flight football........in the game today.....................funny how when you look a little deeper than whats shoved in our faces every day you see who the true football clubs are !
  10. Tomo.....The head of the American Olympic drug testing committe has said many times that only 1 in 6 athletes who tested positive recieved a ban....he used to call their anti doping program a " pr exercise "....... Lewis himself has admitted many times he failed tests. Just did a quick search Tomo....make your own mind up http://www.guardian....cs.duncanmackay Its a constant race between chemists and testers......but it certainly helps when your somebody of Lewis stature.....In my opinion that final at Seoul in 88 was probably the biggest cover up of which Johnson was shafted !

    In all fairness its a better restaurant than it was pub The Knave was a right khazi....although it might be a listed building thinking about it. That restaurants got plenty of taxidermy inside quite a mad little gaff really i dont go a bundle on French food but you got to try these things....its bugging me now i cant remember the name of it,must be 10 years since it was the knave.
  12. Being charismatic and likeable makes him a great man manager............he,s proved he is just as tactically astute as Hodgson,he had massive public backing which after all said and done is an ulikely bonus to any England manager................................your one of the only people ive spoke to who prefers Hodgson to Redknapp....but cool its all about opinions,personally i think the fa bottled it.
  13. I guess the 95 % of the English population players,managers,public who wanted Harry are all wrong then Harry is a charismatic guy who players like,bond with and want to play for,he gets average players playing beyond their natural ability,and we have average players on a world scale...................Hodgson has the charisma of an oxo cube.....but he,s English so he,ll do i spose. Paul Ince a footballer of the highest level i,ll take that........good ol West Ham boy.
  14. Just looked at the league table yous are virtually there good for you im pleased for you nice club Weds ..........probably be seeing you next year the way my feelings are about these play offs actually just looked again,if they win and yous draw its ....best of luck anyway.
  15. Yes Inter Milan are a massive club....and what did he win with them ? nothing........What big name players has been associated with and worked alongside........ This is Steve Mclaren all over again.........Redknapp was far and away the best man for the job,of the 4 fa bigwigs only 1 of them has ever played football and he wanted Harry............tells its own story really dont it Hodgson will do as he,s told whereas Harry would of told them bollocks if he didnt like something.
  16. Wouldnt want to change it mate its an admirable stance to take...........very rare in todays times i know plenty of boxing trainers and like anyone else their job is to get the best from their man and if that means taking advantages of todays knowledge then thats what they must do to compete on an even keel.............i have every respect for amature sport,but it is......well amature at the end of the day.........................top level sport requires top level sacrifice,knowledge and talent.........we,d all like it to be this pure angelic straight up honest competition......but thats just
  17. Have you ever studied the bnbf banned substances list
  18. Johnson was not the brightest spark and didnt have clued up folk around him,and got caught twice..................Lewis was a bright intelligent man with the best team around him to offer him the best advice ( and cover ups ).....and didnt get caught once,officially anyway. Physically they was both doing the same.......yes Lewis was using.....our Linford Christie got pushed up to a silver medal......and he was using as well !!!................Some folk are better organised and more knowledgeable than others.......Johnson was just a scapegoat thats all.
  19. If you have experience with juice you will know the difference between stacking for a bodybuilder and stacking for a sprinter,powerlifter or any other athlete ........Did Ben Johnson or Linford Christie physically look the same as when they was competing natural,no of course they didnt.....did they look like bodybuilders with huge muscles,no.............were they both banned for steroid use,yes........did they both run faster than they did when they was natural,yes.......... If there was no reward then why do it !
  20. What benefit could a kid whos body has not even stopped growing possibly get from steroids ?.....no of course you wouldnt advise kids to take drugs.......if you think the worlds top athletes are clean as a whistle and have the same perfectly natural body they was born with you are either very naive or living in a dream world. For somebody who apparently spends time in gyms you dont seem to know a lot about whats going on in the world of sport.....i accept its not so prevalent in amature sport.....but this is a ruthless world we live in,if one top athlete knows his rival has an advantage you s
  21. Elvis if youd had a little more conviction in what you was saying you might of won yourself a few bob
  22. This thing about buying success......i was chatting to an opposition fan up north a few months ago who i thought had it bang on.......he said......every premier league club should lose 1 point in the league for every million they spend,then lets see who the most succesful football clubs are as opposed to who the most succesful owners are. Arsenal would piss it.....................even my little Hammers might even finish mid table ..........................
  23. He was out of his depth at Liverpool,hows he going to cope with the biggest job in football !!............I,ll back him hundred per cent as will most other fans.......dont mean to say he,s the right man for the job though...............
  24. Put simply the stronger the muscle the better it works to its maximum efficiency.......ie,explosive power = speed and heightened reflexes. Ben Johnson got caught.....Carl Lewis didnt..................physically there was little difference.
  25. So you dont want performance enhancement then.....................................ok,well take vitamin tabs away,protein shakes........make footballers all where the same shitty 1960,s boots......make swimmers stop shaving their bodies.....cyclists stop wearing them aero dynamic helmets......weightlifters stop wearing joint supports................and on and on and on..........................everything is a performance enhancer.....oh what because its the terrible D word its worse. If i prepare better for my sport than you do i have an advantage..............if we prepare the same i have no
