    Brilliant night of boxing at The York Hall on Saturday night it was just like old times watching the Hammers win at home then straight onto the York Hall....local kid Liam Dillon gave absolutely everything in a cracking fight with Ryan Garner...another local Archie Sharp came through a big first round scare,great atmosphere id still prefer an evening of boxing there to any of these daft Saudi venues you just cant buy history and tradition.

    Its not until you get onto some of these A & B Roads going across the country that you really start to realise the enormity of this project to swamp the country with extra people....ive been driving around a bit these last few weeks theres literally new towns springing up all over the place.....and its not just England i drove down from Edinburgh Airport last week theres just about the biggest development ive ever seen on the Jock side of the A1.....at the rate these places are going up there will be no rural land left in Britain in 10 years time.

    We are talking about completely different levels of what isnt even really the same trait.....i have every respect for a gutsy little terrier doing what he is bred to do it must take a tough durable and determined little dog to stick in when the going gets tough below ground...........but to compare it to dog matching is the mistake in comparing hunting to fighting........hunting by its very nature is NOT fair,but a fight by its very nature MUST be fair. I think a lot of people think they do but dont truly understand what a real deep level of gameness actually is or even looks like.

    Upton Park was a residential neighbourhood where the first to get to their car after a game got home quickest........trying to get 60k odd people away from the ground on transport links because theres nowhere to park a car for many people means standing in hour long queues waiting for platforms to clear.

    You wanted to be a big club in order to attract the worlds best players for crying out loud......you wanted your " progression " at any cost,why f**k about with kids......theres just so much hypocrisy in all this it almost becomes amusing.

    What have the spades got to do with West Ham moving from Upton Park to the Olympic Stadium in order to become a big club and win trophies ? You ran off to another country when the spades got too much but what relevance is that i literally have no idea what point you're trying to make. Look,the facts are lads like you came unstuck in the decisions you made and the future you envisioned,thats the bottom line....the way yous seem to have dropped any kind of allegiance to your fellow fan in the process and infact to some degree have contempt for them is for me just another drawback of th

    But you dont go to West Ham games or even particularly like the club....you are a fan of football yes no problem but to have your nose in the air about the club the way you do is what cracks me up with lads like you.....i remember you on here years ago talking all about West Ham and the values/morals/traditions,what made us a special club,local talent,football area,raw atmosphere,pride in the badge,sense of history,youth academy,production line of players,pride of 66,sense of togetherness and camaraderie following our little club gave us and bla bla bla bla bla Well what a complete load o

    Cracks me up the way they're trying to bill this fight as one of the biggest heavyweight fights in history What complete f****n nonsense !....its a big fight in todays piss poor heavyweight generation yes but dont try to pretend it compares to big heavyweight bouts of other eras.....i'll be on holiday so probably wont even watch it till the week after but i cant see it being a particularly good fight unless theres a strong referee....Fury should win and i think he probably will win his size advantages will just be too much,and for me thats the fiasco of the division at the moment where a

    It is like that up North,its like it everywhere......you are just talking about a few rungs of the ladder down from what im talking about thats all.

    Goalposts well and truly shifted Yeah never mind all the values,traditions and respect that me,you and every other West Ham fan took pride in we just want to be able to trot along the street doing the hokey cokey ! I said at the time ive never seen so many good lads sell out on their morals with one little dangled carrot.......fortunately you's all got paid back in the most hilarious way !

    " paki dive hole of an area that shit to get to " you've never been to the bowl have you mate If you think having to walk through one of the busiest shopping centres in Europe to get to a game and then having to queue up for ages getting out again in the same paki dive hole as before is progress or a " non league vibe " then i repeat,you are totally out of touch with the majority of fans ! Its funny how chaps like you who i remember taking such pride in the traditions and identity of our club no longer value them......but hey f**k it who cares eh you got your trophy,you won we lost

    Of course he was but PUBLICLY courting other managers is two bob.....the fact that the players downed tools with half a dozen games to go tells you it probably wasnt a good idea. Regards plastic fans there was a time when i never felt any difference towards fans who went to the game or didnt go to the game we are all West Ham.....but the move changed that....lads like you with all this passion and concern for a club you havent been to see in 10 years,who's real concern is how much entertainment they get from a tv programme......i remember being at some of the protests young Mr Swallow org

    All the Mckenzie brothers were good boxing people back in the day Duke was always the most talented and yes his opinions are certainly worth listening to as he boxed at the highest level.....ive not heard what you are referring to but Duke is a purist id imagine he sees Usyk beating Fury ? ......all id say is Duke never weighed much more than a crisp packet and will possibly not fully appreciate the vast physical advantages Fury has and is looking at this fight from a purists boxing view only.

    The handshake is an important one but i agree it can be tricky.....trying too hard with a vice like grip is almost as embarrassing as a weak wet lettuce hand shake......you can tell a lot about a man by his handshake and the over enthusiastic fake one like that indicates a person thats unsure of themself and lacking self belief in my experience.

    Sounds like a bold claim but im not sure any of these herbal things actually do any harm so who knows....i know its a tricky one with prostate cancer as virtually all men over a certain age end up dying with but not of prostate cancer,like i say my pals had it about 12 years and his life has not changed one bit.....i know theres controversy in the medical game as to whether its even worth telling people they have it in certain cases......as in the stress,worry and anguish a diagnosis causes outweighs the risk they will ever die from it or even need treatment in many cases.

    The man actually makes me feel ill i have no idea how the geezer ever worked his way into the sport......any London venue you'll see him pitch up on his push bike taking ages to chain it up while waiting for dopey little berks to go up and have a photo with him like he's some kind of attraction......i used to say i dont want to hear a persons views on boxing who hasnt been punched in the face but im more relaxed about it all now i'll chat boxing with anyone....but this wannabe rock star prick takes the piss i just cant listen to a word he says.

    See what i mean.......you're just another typical tv fan now mate you are so out of touch with active lifelong fans that the memories that night created mean nothing to you.....groups of lads travelling around Europe without all the new plastic fans we've inherited were great trips,37 European fixtures in 13 countries scoring nearly 70 goals and lifting a trophy are the greatest years lifelong fans of this club have ever had.....i dont like his football but Moyse gave us memories to last a lifetime with games,moments and experiences that will be talked about for generations to come.....for som

    For me the fuss is lads like you who was happy to trade up everything chaps like me held dear for something you now dont even want.....culture,identity and traditions are important to some of us thats what the fuss is about.
  20. gnasher16
    The way we've treated Moyse is f****n disgusting....im not against a new manager it probably is the right time but theres ways of doing things and the man deserves respect and a good send off yet we've done little more than hang him out to dry publicly courting other managers no wonder the players have downed tools with all the uncertainty the board created....his position became untenable but Moyse did a fantastic job and what the club did last year was incredible id like us to have handled all this with a bit more class if im honest.

    The drug game in general is just completely different now to times when your local jack the lad off the plot could rise to the top its all completely sewn up from top to bottom your almost looking at authorised permits from the top down city to city nowadays.

    A good pal of mine who was diagnosed with prostate cancer 11/12 years ago swears by Pomegranate......he drinks the juice as a replacement for tea/coffee and his Psa number has actually come down he's never taken a tablet for it just has the surveillance tests they have occasionally.....i'll let him know about the nettle thing.
  23. gnasher16
    He would if i let him.......thats why i said it.

    Fireman is a good lad he was very kind to a young nephew of mine.......hope he's doing ok.

    f****n hilarious this one. " I just want to see a decent game of football " he says " Nothing more complicated than that " he says Yeah....just as long as at the same time we win some trophies,attract big players,move to a bigger better ground,become a modern sports club,get into Europe and blah blah blah blah blah How simple the game has suddenly become for all you's who wanted so much change !......just want to see a decent game of football
