  1. Anyway Come on you Daggers tomorrow night......batter them Millwall shlaaaags !
  2. " Harry Potter....he's coming for you " Good player would of liked him back at the Hammers
  3. But thats the whole point though mate.....we all know what offside,time,man on etc means....theres no reason to invent a new way of saying it, the same as theres no reason to invent a new way of saying interception thats now called a " turnover " or got possession back instead of " recycling " and on and on.......come on mate you must admit everyday bods like us wasnt using these terms 30/20/even 10 years ago......its modern coaches and tv pundits that have put these new terms up for use in the same way that modern players now put their 2 index fingers to the sky when they score a goal,or touc
  4. Ive just twigged who you are we chatted about this breed before i got my lad didnt we....well i appreciate the advice you gave, like i say the right dog at the right stage of life.....obliged to you mate look after yourself also.
  5. Brilliant !....smart looker as well. He's probably the first genuine " pet " dog ive ever had its quite an eye opener the rewards you get from the friendship a dog offers i feel like ive either missed out or am really getting old
  6. Bless you mate thanks....its just simple grieving of somebody close,a thing i suppose we all have to do at some point im just a big girls blouse.....cheers again,will keep your words in mind.
  7. He's the first Stafford ive ever had and turned out a nice little dog really....years ago i was only ever about the performance of a dog i was no good at bonding with them but am really attached to this little fella he loves a bit of rough and tumble but when he senses im down he'll come and rest his chin on my leg and we'll just " knock about " together for days on end he's a sweet natured loving little chap but a bundle of energy at the right times as well......i probably keep him fitter than he really needs to be but living pretty much in the forest he keeps himself in good nick he's got a
  8. Sorry to hear that mate i think we probably all find things out about ourselves through lifes journey,suppose im only just now finding out im not as tough as i thought i was. My logic is that having lived a fit healthy life up until recently i can probably get away with going hard at the drink through a particularly bad time.... probably just a weak man making excuses for being a prick but it dont seem all that important anymore truth be told.....ta mate anyway
  9. Whats Jack Wilshere doing on a choo choo train Good lads.....i cant face going to games yet im just about trying to take an interest again ....but yeah it seems we've become another one of them clubs sadly.
  10. He was definitely past his best but Hagler had 3 fights in 3 years through 85/86/87 i think he was the same fighter in all of them he was passed his best in 85 against Hearns but it was his kind of fight,as was the Mugabe fight....short range wars were perfect for him late on in his career......it just wasnt his kind of fight against Leonard....Leonard just knew how to beat him he wasnt going to stand in front of him like Hearns and Mugabe had and he made Hagler look terrible,old and slow......but for me it was the same Hagler as Hearns fought 2 years earlier.....like i say Leonard had a nasty
  11. We've got some good young kids coming through George Earthy,Kaelan Casey,Callum Marshall,the kid Briggs i forget his first name this young squad is the best youth squad we've had since the Cole,Ferdinand,Carrick etc days it would be a shame to see them all get loaned out because the manager is too scared to throw them in and as you say it is something Potter has done before so hopefully we can start getting a bit of our old identity back now we've accepted we're not going to be pressing for trophies as we hoped we would !
  12. Bad time in general mate ale just seems to numb the pain during this whole grieving process but i think i know what im doing ....hope you are keeping well anyway.
  13. Many Muslim communities particularly Pakistanis vote " en masse " if you have the local Imam's vote then you have pretty much the entire community.....how its never been illegal is a disgrace but thats Labour controlled areas for you.
  14. I always felt that Leonard had a nasty streak to him,a pompous belittling kind of thing where he knew he could beat Hagler but waited until people felt it was impossible for him to do so....similar to when he went up to " light heavy " but set the weight at 168 to beat the Canadian and nearly came unstuck he just had an air of superior " im Ray Leonard i can do what i like " about him.
  15. Im quite happy with Potter i think he's a good fit for the direction we should be going in.....Floppy was a disastrous appointment from day 1 he was brought in to supposedly take us to the next level after Moyse brought 3 years of European football,high placed league finishes and stability to the club.....but all we've had is shit side to side football with no end product averaging barely a goal a game and a lower win rate than Avram Grant ffs.....ok he was undone by players with a low work rate,defensive errors ( mainly the Greek ) and poor finishing....but he's still just a Spanish version o
  16. Although you are right to a point i dont think theres ever a good time to have your first bout at a heavier weight having been out of the ring for 3 years facing the most dominant world champion in years.......but that was the confidence and arrogance of Leonard as a fighter.
  17. All a bit depressing really but ive found this my solemn place of comfort over the last 6 months....i used to be the type who hated being on my own and always wanted people around but now i just cant wait to get to my little bench,sit and just let the hours go by with my 4 legged pal until im falling about pissed and the ol woman has to come and pick us up Proper sad case im turning into !
  18. I used to be really touchy about my age i hated anyone knowing but i couldnt give a flying bollock anymore f**k it.....i share the exact same birth date with my old boxing mucker Mr.Benn who i'll no doubt get the usual text message from in a couple of weeks " happy birthday you old white c**t "....to which i'll reply my usual " happy birthday Nig..........Nog "
  19. Couldnt agree more.....its given lads who might not have the foggiest idea what they're looking at......sound like they really know what they're looking at.
  20. Another 10 years down the line and that will be a stem cell job,its definitely on its way.....glad to hear all went well anyway
  21. I got introduced to that Michael Van Gerwen chap in Holland a couple of years back we chatted for a good hour he's actually a really impressive sportsman i was surprised....his dedication and will to win is on par with anyone ive ever heard discussing their sport i just imagined top darts players to be a bit more casual about the whole mental aspect but he was really on the ball.....good giggle as well he struck me as a cracking chap to be around.....still glad Littler beat him though ! What a talent that kid i was trying to think if theres ever been a younger world champion in an individ
  22. Cant say ive ever listened to a whole podcast but i have the odd person tell me something someones said and it just cracks me up the way some of these criminals who have to resort to muggy books and nowadays podcasts to tell their third and fourth hand stories because they were never able to make real money....old prison lags in their 70's who should know better repeating stories that have had so much added to them or missed out on the stories journey it now no longer resembles the real story at all....an old pal of mine rang me a few months back asking about an old jail story i had told him y
  23. Ive watched that fight many times over the years mate,scored it the same every time i had Leonard winning by a couple, on landed punches.....i loved the way Hagler fought but same thing....some opponents just have your number athletically,i think it was the 9th Hagler caught Leonard with his best shot of the fight but it was right at the end of the punch Leonards timing was just so cute.....and if i remember right Leonard rallied late on to take the round which typified the whole fight.....i remember at the time feeling the fight was an anti climax after such a huge build up but again,watching
  24. I dont think for 1 minute Usyk is a natural heavyweight in the same way that Holyfield,Spinks all the way back to Bob Foster and the like were not natural heavyweights....but its always been the same all great light heavies or cruisers in recent times have to fight at heavyweight to make the money......ive probably told the story before but i was utterly convinced that Michael Spinks would beat Mike Tyson back in the late eighties .......i was a big Spinks fan i followed his career from the 76 Olympics right the way through the light heavies and just thought he had this unbelievable herky jerk
