saw him fight in the flesh back in the day mate....not long before he beat lenny mclean...i hear he,s not doing too good these days apparently the beer got the better of him and he,s down to skin and bone now unfortunately....
-
they didnt nick him mate he just didnt want o play for them anymore. he was just in the shop window at west ham to prove he could do it in the prem. well that and the fact no other team wanted them at the time because they where not sure about the legal side of him bing owned by someone else jamie...it was a joke mate

i have been /am a fan of football season ticket at my club for 20 years or so ......just telling it like it is and my face has never been six inches from your face .................... yis fellman ho ho ho... he he he...that was so funny i nearly pulled my own pint !....likewise im only telling it like it is and rugby fans are constantly slagging football...it dont work the other way,cant think of any other reason than jealousy myself,maybe im wrong.
-
and the hammers last game of last year......then they had to nick the player who scored !
-
I wonder if thats anything to do with the influx of foreign players by any chance....i remember watching the 86 world cup for example...and laughing at the way other countries players rolled around the floor every time they was touched....now they are all over here ! stands to reason really.
-
I think the word your looking for mate is ..." jealousy "....the reason footballers earn so much money and rugby players dont is not many people give a bollock about rugby ! if your average rugby player earns the price of a round of drinks per week and your average premier league footballer is on 50k,theres a reason why ! Why is it rugby fans are always slagging off footballers but football fans dont slag off rugby players...my guess is jealousy. By the way.....i would have serious doubts about any " real man " who was happy to have his face 6 inches from other mens arseholes....

Di canio certainly didnt have legend type status down at west ham.....in fact he took a lot of stick when he first arrived...upton park crowds have always been hard on a foreigner who doesnt give 100 %....just ask that prick boa morte .........at the start di canio wanted the ball at his feet or he would just stand with his hands in the air.....but credit where its due he had fantastic ability and put in some great displays and was well liked....certainly not legendary status though.

Absolutely right i noticed that...thats the problem with chelsea these days,they have no real loyalty to their club,just their team...it could be ANY team of 11 bob smiths costing 25 million each !...lets face it if the russian had bought doncaster united,macclesfield town....or even newcastle utd ...that team would be where chelsea are today.....if chelsea were relegated next year there attendance would half,fact!......when west ham went down a few years ago our average attendance dropped by less than 1000...... Some things tell their own truths...1 being,you dont see many old chelsea fans
-
West ham might be a shit team mate...but when it comes to history and respect...we are WAY above a flash in the pan team like chelsea....and this is my point.....west ham have history,tradition and pride.....i remember a time when west ham refused to buy a player whos roots were outside london,let alone england.....count how many other premier league teams play at least 7/8 english players week in week out,many of whom have been spotted by their own scouts and brought through the youth system as kids......believe me,if west ham fielded a team of foreign players every week there would be uproar
-
Nothing to do with jealousy mate ive been supporting a little team in comparison for 40 years....but im a football fan so naturally dont think a lot of a club who try to buy success.......as somebody else said,chelsea have no history,have brought through no top players...but have instead bought a great football team....if you follow your club around the grounds you will know the chelsea terrace chant as well as i do...." shit club no history "........ So who are these players in todays era that chelsea have brought through the ranks that compare with scholes,giggs,beckham and co at man utd...
-
That just about sums it up...a little club until along comes a moneybags foreigner...that dont make a great club,theres a big difference between a great team and a great club.....chelsea have a great team but as far as great clubs go....even in london they dont come in the top 3 !......how many top class players have chelsea schooled and brought through ? none...they dont need to they just go upstairs and ask the man to put his hand in his pocket...chelsea are the most hated team in london....arsenal fans spurs,millwall,west ham,fulham...even orient,all hate each other but at the same time hav

And...............10-12 points clear.........Dream on!! atb....................Martin. Personally i hope not,but have to admit they are 10 points better than anyone else this year,unfortunately.... My mob have done well to be mid table....so as long as the chelsea scum dont win im happy
-
Used to ? thats a crime in my book....its like saying " i used to be english "......you are what your born into.....id love to support a successful team but changing teams halfway through life...thats just against the rules Fair play to man u this year they have been head and shoulders above the rest and showed great consistency,i can see them finishing 10/12 points in front.
-
oneredtrim....your posts are a little harsh in my opinion...but very true...personally i dont care too much for what fighters do outside the ring whether it be tyson/ali or whoever...im a boxing fan not a showbiz/star fan...but that said,you are speaking the truth....ali commited his life to his faith and took what went with it....just like tyson did for all of 6 months until he decided being a muslim wasnt actually for him and went back to being what that clip showed he was......
-
like i said before mate,i prefer to concentrate on what a fighter does in the ring...and in the ring ali,s courage was and never could have been questioned...or frazier,louis or many other " great heavyweights "....tyson did the most pathetic thing ever to get out of fighting a man he knew he couldnt beat...THAT is a cur,brilliant athlete or not.

Personally i think we all get too involved in judging tysons private life rather than what he became famous for...boxing !...im no counsellor or psycho therapist but i do believe i know a little about boxing and prefer to judge a man on what he does inside the ropes rather than outside...if he couldnt hack it as a top sportsman for whatever reason then so be it,but dont give him it as an excuse.....it seems the tyson nuthuggers always want to rub his belly about the hard times he faced and then brush the fact that he was a child molesting rapist ( possibly ) under the carpet.....if you do want

nice example there jasp. worth an absolute fortune these days. i had a mk1 rs2000 back in 84...sold it to a mate for 900......it sold for 13k a few years back !!
-
gaz most of what you say i totally agree with.....i agree,tyson was great in his prime....but then so was ali in his,frazier in his,louis in his etc etc......but to go down as an all time great you have to have beaten other great fighters thats just common sense...and tyson didnt !.....lets be honest trevor berbick,bonecrusher smith,tubbs,biggs etc etc in any other era apart from that one would not even have been top ten fighters...so it really doesnt prove anything other than the fact tyson dispatched them with unquestionable power....but that doesnt make him an all time great fighter......in

i wasnt having that much of a pop , and if offended you sorry , the problem i had , is how do you know there isnt a member of her family on this site , it is very possible? ... we dont know ... but i think you did the right thing by removing it , and i do have a sense of humour , but not at a little girls expence ... ok mate fair enough.....just to point out,the joke was actually at the expense of a football team not a little girl...but point taken
-
It always amazes me why people are so hell bent on giving tyson so many excuses for losing.....he wasnt the only fighter to have problems outside the ring....he didnt have half the problems ali had,yet did you see ali biting peoples ears off because he couldnt beat them ?....when tyson lost to buster douglas everyone was banging on about the death of jacobs and his leech of a wife.....douglas lost his mother 13 days before the tyson fight ! Part of what makes a great fighter is mental strength as well as physical strength,tysons downfall was the fact he was a mentally weak cur......when fight

there you go pal.....personally i think your being a little senitive,if nobody ever told a joke due to the possibility it may be offensive to someone there would never be jokes !...but,i wouldnt purposely offend anyone so....removed and apologies.

A famous old fight commentator once said...." you judge a fighter as great buy the great fights and great fighters he had and beat " Tyson fought 2 fighters who although not greats on an all time scale were great in their own era.....and he lost convincingly to both of them....and in his own era of dominance tyson never fought anybody good let alone great...and was dominant at a time when the division was at its all time weakest....wbc champ was trevor berbick ! wba champ was bonecrusher smith ! ibf champ was michael spinks !....top challengers were frank bruno,tony tubbs,carl williams etc

Thanks for the replies,i knew i was right all along ...next time i,ll shout " rule 53 " at them.... In fairness there probably wasnt anywhere sensible they could have pulled in,BUT had they simply gone single file there would have been more than enough room,i even thought of trying to go through the middle at one stage,but didnt want to clip them,not the animals thought i suppose ....couldnt even abuse them at the end of the road as they dissapeared into the forest
