A.......yes most definitely.....no its not a major trophy but its the biggest thing we've won in over 40 years....you see until recently we never claimed to be a big club so we have to enjoy these moments of success. B......If everybody went to football as a form of " entertainment " then we'd all support Man City.....ask a Millwall fan why he blindly supports a club who dont " provide " an entertaining product ....or indeed 90% of any other regular club fans up and down the country. Re the political stuff i totally agree but if you cant get away from it in your own front room why t

I dont think you can judge a mans character during his fighting career as you can once they've retired......the height of a fighters fame and popularity is madness where they are getting pulled in every direction and they can become easily influenced,Mike Tyson coming out of nick giving it all the " Praise be to Allah " caper is something he now laughs about.....id be very surprised if the Muhammad Ali mind in the years before he died was the same mind as when he was fighting.
-
I always try to judge athletes purely on their sporting prowess rather than their personality im not really interested in how a fighter is out of the ring or a footballer off the pitch etc.....but Ali of course was just such an iconic figure that you couldnt ignore his views and personality.....i wouldnt go as far as to say i loved him but certainly have a healthy respect for his achievements in life.......i got to shake his hand at a function in London in the mid 90's just at the time his speech was going....he whispered something to me that to this day i regret not simply saying the word "

Im not sure he was getting the better of Smith mate he landed a few good uppercuts as i recall but didnt make a dent.....and Smith is one of those fighters who to use a popular current boxing phrase " downloads data " early rounds,he's a clever fighter Smith has a look early on.....Smith is the betting favourite mid rounds being the shortest odds..... it'll be interesting to see how Eubank reacts i just think it'll be a crying shame if he doesnt fulfil his potential....but not sure where he go's with another loss.

The reason Fury fanboys rate Wilder so highly is because Wilder is the only top heavyweight Fury has ever beaten.......and the reason they also rate old man Ortiz so highly is because he's the only top heavyweight Wilder has ever beaten.......its so predictable its just boring and pointless.
-
This is where i find it funny when people like you ( lefties ) call people like me ( far righters ) racists.....you are actually more prejudiced than i am i dont want to change anybody its none of my business what other ethnicities and cultures get up to i just dont want to be around them......its like the left want to encourage multiculturalism by welcoming different ethnic groups over.....and then as soon as they get here want to change them into what we find acceptable....its madness !! The continual box ticking and bean counting we have to do in order to ignore racial difference will

Theres plenty of lesser known islands that are more traditional than all the TUI/Jet2 mainstream ones just depends whether you want Med ones or Aegean/Ionian Seas....islands like Symi,Kalymnos,Mykonos,Samos are all nice and traditional yet still reasonably mainstream....then theres islands like Spetses,Ithaca,Psara that are a little bit more select. I wont go all Judith Chalmers on you but an island ive recommended to lots of people and is a favourite of mine is the Paxoi islands of Paxos and Antipaxos in the Ionian Sea.....for a mix of culture,history,tradition and beauty i think it take

If we was still at Upton Park....nothing at all ! But i repeat....it was YOU and lads like you who wanted to bin off every tradition we held dear INCLUDING playing football the right way......so unless you was so naive that you thought we would come to this new ground,be a " massive "club,win trophies AND play attractive football,then maybe you should have listened to chaps like me who consistently said " our club will never be the same ". You didnt want what you had,you then got what you wanted.....but now want what you had again.
-
You get sneered at because it was YOU who wanted this !!.....YOU wanted the move in order to be a massive club......or was you that naive that you thought by being a massive club you would get Barcelona type football with it ? I think you know the point im making lets not get all " wordy " about it Comparing Allardyces's brand of football to Moyse is just being stupid mate.....Allardyce played to not lose and keep teams up via keeping the ball up in the air most of the time....Moyse plays high risk football.....the risk being that if the team is not at it its about as
-
Again,Barcelona mentality......we're West Ham mate we dont have the pick of the worlds players we have to play to our strengths,whatever those strengths are at this particular point in time.
-
Totally agree with every word Ali said in that interview and feel exactly the same myself........again,where is the racism ?
-
I might have misjudged you as it happens,you seem a fairly reasonable chap ( for a leftie ).......i think it would be fair to say that multiculturalism has been an absolute disaster for mankind and the perfect illustration of how races are just different,and should never have been forced to live together.....better to wipe our mouths and amicably segregate rather than continue to coerce unrealistic and unnatural communities in my opinion. Out of curiosity why do you have a downer on religious clothing ?
-
He stood up for his people.....much like Gandhi or any other leader through history.....he used his position as an elite athlete to better the cause for his people.....im not black so it makes no difference to me but if you was black you'd think he was great surely !
-
No....somebody who thinks their race is superior is called a supremacist....and much like myself i never heard Ali say his race was " superior " to any other. Again,preferring your own doesnt mean you hate others........races are different,the sooner societies acknowledge that the better.
-
Really looking forward to this Smith/Eubank rematch i dont normally go to fights up north unless a fighter im particularly interested in is fighting but am going up for this as i think its a good little rivalry between these two.....i can only see a similar outcome to the first fight but am curious to see how Eubank will approach it.......he'll probably go down as one of the biggest wastes of talent in British boxing history for me but i find his mentality as an athlete interesting....part of me wants him to succeed as he is so physically blessed its a shame to not fulfil his potential,but ano

Like i say.....debating boxing with fanboy types is just pointless.
-
Name calling ? i call black people names as much as they call me names....and that makes us " racist "....no wonder the word has lost any real meaning these days ! The word " racist " actually describes a person who shows prejudice and discrimination towards a minority ethnic group......when white people make up less than 10% of the worlds population how can i possibly be racist ? Besides which,i dont particularly want black people to suffer i just care more for the interests of my own people than i do for others,which is exactly what Ali felt as far as i could make out.
-
Care to elaborate ? Ive been called the same all my life but never found 1 person who could explain why !
-
Forget what his name was but remember a chap on here telling me once how he raced pigeons out of an old rabbit hutch.
-
Late is good depending on the situation,it creates anxiety leading to a despairing gratitude when you eventually show up !
-
Dont be ridiculous mate.....as someone with a champions league medal in his drawer is constantly reminding me whenever i start ranting about Antonio " he doesnt,hasnt and would never expect to play in any role other than what he plays in......its either that or be a plasterer "
-
We can all have this pretend snobbery and look down our nose at everyday fans Wilf but the reality is being a club supporter is about loyalty to your pals,your manor and your club badge....and with every respect a club supporter is all you are......we'd all love to be Barcelona or Man City but we're not them and never was so where is this entitlement to good football AND winning trophies coming from ?? Is it the best football we've seen in our lifetimes no of course its not......is it the most success and the most enjoyable we've had it ( Europe etc ) in our life times,yes id say it proba
-
I dont disagree with Wilf.....we all want to play attractive football i used to cling onto and take pride in the old " West Ham way " style of football with our own little squad of locals in our own little community ground....i loved all that and didnt want it to change......but lads like Wilf didnt want that anymore they fancied a jump into the new " massive club " scene and start getting into Europe and winning trophies............yet now they've got that they want to build like we used to build and play like we used to play again Its like having an ugly bird whos a good bunk up.....
-
Of course,ts like everything else currently being shoehorned into society........if it was natural it wouldnt need to be constantly advertised and rammed down our throats in a desperate " you will tolerate it " kind of way......multiculturalism,trans stuff,womens football.....all progressive anomalies that will never have a seamless transition into the " norm " because they are not natural.
-
Why was he a racist ? because he preferred his own people and didnt like the idea of racial mixing ? I thought he was pretty much bang on in most of his views regards race.
