  1. It takes a good old East London boy to turn a football club around ....When Harry Redknapp went to Spurs they were bottom of the league,now they are 5th and in the quarter finals of the champions league.......hopefully they give him the England job before he,s too old to do it ! Hate to admit it but Spurs are playing some lovely football and can beat anyone on their night,especially at White hart Lane.
  2. I dont understand Arsene Wenger....for years he has set his teams out to play the " beautiful game " and play fast attacking football.....so why did he go against his own principals and set out to park the bus against Barcelona....i thought he let himself and the club down. No doubt about it Barcelona are far superior but in a one off cup tie anything can happen as the first leg proved....cup football is not about who the best team is its about who can win the tie as Mourinho proved time and time again. If you ask any Arsenal fan if they could have had their centre forward with virtually an
  3. You say you are proud of your area.....but what exactly are you proud of ? its beauty,its culture,tradition etc etc ?....thats all well and good......but what if that area was then filled to the brim with people and cultures totally alien to what you know .....will you still have pride in your area and be proud to come from cornwall,a place you no longer recognise ? I am a very proud East Londoner but at the same time deeply ashamed of how we have allowed our area to be taken from under our noses,ashamed of how we have fled the area myself included......pride takes many forms.....and i don
  4. What about basic common sense and respect towards the country that provides you with everything you have ?....you think its acceptable to be able to speak freely do you ? then why am i not allowed to stand on a street corner and proclaim my dislike of blacks pakies turks and anybody else i choose...without being arrested for some form of racial abuse ?.....it either works both ways or it dont work at all.....so no thats very very far from being what makes Britain " great " This scummy prick should not have said what he said,but more so,should not have been allowed to say what he said.....
  5. In all fairness your right,just because a man has a season ticket or even go,s to games dont make them any more a fan or any more knowledgable than the man who doesnt......myself i just love the game and love my club......and simply enjoy going to footie and footie talk thats all..... Id love to be a Man Utd or Liverpool supporter and follow my club around Europe watching world class players week in week out........but thats the price you pay for loyalty to your club and your area.
  6. Thankyou sir,hopefully we can stay out of it,but i still doubt it somehow though im the eternal pessimist when it comes to the Hammers ....i wasnt disputing Utd are a great club by the way,just sometimes i think their fans can lose sight of just what a great club actually is....i firmly believe the 3 greatest clubs in England are Utd,Liverpool and Arsenal....and to be honest i wouldnt try to put one above the other.
  7. He can say what he wants,he can do what he wants.......but maybe saying and doing stuff like that on an English street is a little bit much wouldnt you agree.....i wouldnt get away with going into a foreign country and totally disrespecting them in the most horrible way......the bit that bothers me most about this is the fact the prick had the confidence to know there would be no repurcussions,even allowing his full name to be known......i would get stoned to death in the streets or beheaded for doing the equivalent in his country. " should he not be able to say that "....NO he shouldnt he
  8. Your just asking questions to suit your own argument mate.....we can all do that to try and big up our own club....i mean,i could ask you what its like to have some of Englands greatest players past and present come from the area where your club is ?...but you wouldnt know much about that and it would just be to suit my argument.....so i wont ask it ... Most people take pride in their club and what their club represents,and every club represents the area its from.....the trouble with a lot of you Utd supporters is you only take pride in results on the football pitch regardless of whether
  9. Id agree with that....day to day,week to week,season to season.....Bergkamp was a far better player than Cantona
  10. Thats just the society we live in today,its become " trendy " to be accepting and all join together as one and say nothing bad about others,integration is forced down our throats daily.......it doesnt mean its right or ok.....but thats how society is being manipulated....for instance,can you imagine the uproar if a high profile person,lets say Wayne Rooney,came out and said he cant stand his neighbor because he is a smelly paki who he cant communicate with....he would be banned for life from sport and hated even more than he is now !!,yet in reality all he has done is tell the truth !..... 15/
  11. There must be something in that....i just remembered the german keeper i was thinking of( who looked like a 70,s porn star ).....Schumacher !
  12. Well dont be son.....dont cur out on your country....and it is YOUR country........you wouldnt turn the other cheek if i came and dossed down in your front room tonight without your permission would you,hold onto your pride and take the same stance as other proud Englishmen.
  13. If im not wrong Jennings scored when he played for Spurs.....the olduns always used to talk about Bert Trautman,Jack Kelsey......worldwide i supposed Dino Zoff and Sepp Mayer have to be up there.....or the german who nearly decapitated the french lad,i forget his name now,looked like a german porn star ! Lev Yashins a good call the ol fella used to talk about him,played ice hockey before becoming a keeper apparently.
  14. Dont forget our Phil Parkes in there ....and i suppose Pat Jennings,Neville Southall,Corrigan etc werent too shabby either.
  15. We,re too good for that back 4 !.....could be the undoing of them tomorrow as well sadly.... No you make some fair points about Keown i just dont think he had the speed,intelligence,agility or ability of the Terrys and Ferdinands.....but for sure he would out muscle,and probably frighten the life out of them
  16. Thats your opinion and your entitled to it.....without doubt he must have been a pain in the arse to play against,but he wasnt a footballer just merely a stopper.....id even put David O Leary above Keown and he certainly wouldnt stand a chance in an Arsenal team today.....he was nowhere near the complete player the likes of Terry,Ferdinand,Vidic are....and no real threat up the other end like todays centre halfs are. Wouldnt agree with your thoughts about Terry either.....like many other players his better days are probably behind him simple as that regardless of Carvalho
  17. Since when did Bob Latchford play in the premiership ....if we,re going back beyond 92 then i,ll go with the entire West Ham side of the late 60,s....and Billy Bonds
  18. They asked him will he be doing the same again.....he said " i dont know yet " ....what the f**k has this country become when a scummy little c**t like that can get prosecuted for what he got prosecuted for and then have the nerve to go on telly with his full name written on the screen talking about it saying he might do it again.........with no fear of getting his f****n skull caved in !....thats the confidence these shitbags have now in another mans country !
  19. He was a fantastic player when he could be arsed! certainly scored some great goals....but not sure id call him a great player
  20. f**k off Martin Keown on the bench ....i admire your loyalty,but come on
  21. Only saw the fight earlier today,Hattons a solid fighter but doesnt have that little something extra that sets world champions apart.Too one paced and not enough strings to his bow.....Alvarez just had that spark of extra talent and crispness of punch and reactions. Its a shame for Hatton but thats the dangers of riding on a name,you end up out of your depth....with that in mind he did ok and wasnt embarrassed and showed good willingness and desire to win so fair play to him.
  22. Wow thats a tough question......off the top of my nut id go with Schmeichel Neville,Adams,Terry...Dicks Beckham,Keane,Scoles,Gerrard Ronaldo,Giggs subs Henry,Drogba,Bergkamp,Cole,Shearer....not sure how i could chuck these on the bench but with only 2 strikers........tough question....
  23. For a film with such poor acting it was certainly a great little film....must admit i could never understand what they was on about half the time but its still the sort of film that at some stage rings a bell with most normal everyday men.....i wonder if they realised at the time people would still be talking about it and hold it in such high regard all these years later.
  24. Thats the thing Jasp yous are blinded by your own success....plenty clubs have had periods of success but they are not hated for it....Arsenal dominated the 30,s,Spurs early 60,s,Liverpool 70,s/80,s etc......the only fans who hate them clubs are their rival clubs.....yet everyone seems to hate Man Utd......and like i say,not for the reason their fans think. Its like when us Hammers bang on about winning the world cup,we say it somewhat tongue in cheek....but you Utd fans,your serious...... All that said,i still believe Ryan Giggs is the greatest player the premiership has ever seen
  25. No i dont buy that....people dont dislike the club because they are good they dislike the clubs supporters....and their attitudes because they are good..... Personally,i dont think your club is so good that they can play badly and win the premiership....if Barcelona couldnt do it Man Utd definately couldnt......i just think some fans are blinded by their own success.
