[quote name='Cajunrules' date='19 June 2010 - 07:17 PM' timestamp='1276971460' post='1602453' Who in the English first division played with two defenders? Genuine question Im talking about the days of half backs and inside forwards,showing my age a bit ....but take the Arsenal team that won the fa cup in 79 as an example,i wont give you the West Ham team who beat them a year later as you probably wont have heard of half of them 2 central defenders were Young and O leary ( i think ) 2 half backs were Rice and Nelson with i think Brian Talbot in the middle. Then you had Pr

Why exactly should John Terry give a f**k about the fans ? he is a professional footballer not a film actor or showbiz personality......why in todays times a succesful sportsman has to be " a nice bloke " is beyond me...i couldnt care less if Rooney apologizes,why do you want an apology all i want is him to stick the ball in the net.......thats the trouble these days,some people are happier to see these boys on the front pages of the paper than the back.....its all part of the soap opera circus that sells papers that divs who have no real interest in sport want to read......and then demand apo

Compared to the English game of 20 years ago its extremely defensive,look at the 1990 team of Lineker,Waddle,Beardsley,Gazza etc.....we was a far more attacking team than we are today....lets not forget its not that long ago that the majority of the English first division lined up in a 2-3-5 formation....now we are seen as being attack minded if we play 4-4-2 !!....why is a player like Rooney having to go so deep to get involved in the game,because the build up and tempo of the game is so slow they are spending long periods out of the game.Gerrard and Lampard are constantly looking over their

I think some of you lads are getting a bit carried away away with the " pride in the shirt " and " passion for England " carry on..... Are we to believe that the rugby or cricket lads are any more passionate or proud of their country than the football boys ?...dont be ridiculous,football is not a game where you can run around like headless chickens " showing passion ".....i dont think theres anything wrong with our lads attitudes i simply dont think they are world class footballers.Without doubt they are doing their best but in a side that has a big foreign influence via the manager and a big

Normally im the first to spring to the defence of players when folk start on about being overpaid as i believe a man is worth what someone is willing to pay......but i must admit its hard to defend this shit !....If these players are fit which they should be,then quite clearly they are not world class footballers,its one thing performing against Wigan and Blackburn on a weekly basis and looking great but if they cant carry that into international football then they are simply not world class footballers.Messi is playing as well for Argentina as he does for Barcelona,thats because he is a world

Something not right about that.....keeping in mind a 6" red bellied pirahna sells in most aquatic shops for upwards of 50/60 quid....a young one wouldnt survive long enough to grow to adulthood..... Also,they are not great whites !...a single pirahna will do very little damage to anything bigger than itself,its when theres 100+ you need to get your tootsies out the water
-
Couldnt agree more,my little West Ham had 3 players in contention for places,Green,Upson and Scott Parker.... Green had a poor season,Upson was f****n awful.....and Scott Parker was player of the year for the second year running and had a great season.......so Capello picks Green and Upson.....and leaves Parker at home Capello said he would only pick FIT players in form....Milner fit,he touched the ball twice,got booked and was so unfit he had to bring him off after 30 mins,then replaced him with a right sided player on the left when he had a fit in form Joe cole on the bench......Capell

No fighter is unhittable....herol graham was elusive and hard to hit but he was never unhittable as styles make fights.... We,ll agree to disagree Blan and leave it at that,good to hear your thoughts though,all the best

getting a 7 year sentence for importing 1 million quid of cannibis is what finised your career was it not gnasher lmfao not a injury like most people at least you got your own gym out of it and your mock tudor mansion brand new maseratti sports cars and range rovers who said crime does not pay your still lowlife money or not Calling names from a keyboard,grow up ! Look.....next time your passing stop by and i,ll make you a nice cuppa rosey and we can discuss whatever issues you have,but if i ever catch you peeking over my fence im going to crush your larynx with my boot ...
-
You need to make your mind up lad,apparently a fighter with no punch resistance cant make a top level fighter,thats what this whole debate is about !!!...now your saying Roy Jones,arguably an all time great fighter,always had a poor chin ! Roy Jones had fantastic timing,ring presence,speed and general boxing ability....plenty of fighters over the years have had a poor chin but still made it big,thats my whole argument that you was saying is impossible !...talk about going round in circles. As for what ive done,a long time ago and not being one to big myself up i,ll simply say i boxed at dece
-
Khans chin is comparable to Roy Jones,what on earth are you talking about....so apart from Khan being wobbled by a Limmond jab and getting knocked cold by Prescott....exactly what have you based this conclusion on about Khans chin ?....also,with your theory about Roy Jones,are we to believe that it is BECAUSE he lost speed he also lost punch resistance ?.....the clip you posted was the type of thing a kid would put together who has no real idea about the game of boxing,why didnt you go all the way and put Muhammed Ali on there seeing as Joe Frazier,Henry Cooper and a couple of others decked hi
-
Not above comparison ...according to you Nigel Benn is above comparison yet now your on about Roy Jones ! Styles make fights mate,always has done and always will....every fighter alive picks the fights that will suit them stylistically its nothing new......sooner or later most fighters will have to face a fighter who does not suit them and thats the proving time.....but very often thats not till later in their career ( like hatton ) or in calzaghes case,never
-
Is it f**k ....I didnt want the first foreigner let alone this one....the Hammers have a long tradition of bringing through young talent,like Zola did this prick will forget about youngsters and buy average foreign players instead.....besides which,what exactly has he done apart from take Portsmouth to a cup final....he aint good enough for West Ham mate.
-
The same as 95 % of pro fighters gonetoearth....some have no power,some have no endurance,some are 1 dimensional...most fighters have faults and at top level its a chess match of avoiding certain styles no matter what fault any fighter has....Khans fault is a poor chin,it wont stop him doing exactly what you describe,the same as it never stopped any other fighter doing exactly what you describe.....the idea is to ride the wave as long as it lasts Khan will be no different.
-
You're right, I followed Calzaghe's career, first time I seen him was against Delaney for the British title. I didn't believe he had what it takes to win the world title, until he put that great performance on against Eubank, he really won me over in that bout. Like you said though the many fights that followed that were a disgrace - Sobot the robot, Giminez, Thornberry, Veit (twice) Will "On Fire" McIntyre (or what ever it was he called himself), That Peurto Rican when Calzaghe came into the ring in a suit of armour (Can't remember his name), Mger something or other, Ashira, Salem, Bika, Manf
-
Why are you making comparisons to all time great fighters ? nobody is saying Khan will ever be an all time great....from his third pro fight i had bets with about 20 people,even 4 or 5 off this forum that Khan would win a version of a world title inside 3 years...most people laughed at me !....what i also said was he would probably lose it soon after.....so as you can see i have never claimed he was a great fighter or ever would be.....your comparison to Hearns is not accurate,he had a far worse chin and far worse powers of recovery than virtually any other fighter of that magnitude.....again,
-
Who said anything about Khan being untouchable,your bouncing from one extreme to another.You see,you wont remember as you was only a kid......but i remember people saying exactly the same about Nigel Benn went he went with Jimmy Tibbs....but he became so defensively sound that he didnt have to duck anyone even though his chin was still poor. And if you think Khan is the only fighter who will go through his career being protected then you are possibly as deluded as you sound.Joe Calzaghe will go down as one of the all time great British fighters,you wont find a more protected fighter than him
-
What a ridiculous thing to say !!!.....so what your saying is the worlds greatest trainer Freddie Roach cannot possibly make improvements to Amir Khan as a boxer.... Jimmy Tibbs improved Nigel Benn as a complete boxer but Freddie Roach cant improve Amir Khan.....well what a fool Freddie Roach must be maybe he should listen to people like you rather than wasting his time training no hopers,makes you wonder why Manny Paquiao doesnt get himself a top trainer instead of a fool like Roach !

[quote name='Attack Fell Terrier' date='06 June 2010 - 04:24 PM' The point is he fought who he could and who was about at the time. I know the bout with Jones Jnr didn't come off or with Toney (and I don't think he'd of beat either of them, infact I think he'd of been annihilated) but he would of fought anyone including either of them if he had the opportunity to do so, Khan on the other hand has no interest in fighting anyone other than those he knows he could easily beat if his career to date is anything to go by. How did you score the second bout between Benn and Eubank mate? Be

funny as f**k !!.....im a proud white Englishman from East London who had to move away from East London to get away from the pakies....i am about as far from a khan/muslim fan as you could possibly get ! However....ive been around enough gyms over enough years to know a decent prospect and have a decent understanding of how the sport works..... Now,ive told you what both Benn and his trainer both said,but you wont have it. What will it take for you to accept that Benn had a poor chin and no defence and that was the reason for his loss to Watson.....they are the words Benn himself h
-
Attack Fell Terrier....If i remember right Benn fought around 20 fights in 2 years never going past 4 rounds until he met Watson and was exposed. Khan fought around 18 fights in 3 years going the distance once i think before he met Prescott and was exposed. Both being excellent punchers who knocked out lesser opponents but were exposed defensively when they stepped up in class....both who went away and worked on those weaknesses and came back....of course you cant compare any further than that as Khans career is in progress,but up till now they are similar careers. Incidentally,i woul
