Fairy In Boots

already have a thread

It's the culture of the city I'm afraid, pretty much every decent academy product of Birmingham football clubs only do well once they get out of Brum. Frankie Gavin all the talent in the world just parties too much, Macklin was the same I could pretty much name any boxer in the last 20 years. Dan Evans again talented but also it's a big city with next to no media attention, Coke is everywhere women are quick to jump on a meal ticket. Moeen Ali was a write off till 24 ish because he was off out partying, Woakes was another now he's settled down into a stable relationship he's kicked on. Some of the kids here are frighteningly talented but by 18 most are too busy out and about pissing talent down the drain. My mate was a talented swimmer competing in nationals aged 11-12 come 15 weed n Coke not been in a pool unless pissed on holiday in 15-16 years. It's still very much the culture here to get mortal when you can.

Likening to animals though, do you see New Zealander's getting offended by Kiwi or Saffers with Springbok? I think it's being overly sensitive I don't see that as racist in the slightest. I'm very aware of Peru's diversity and various languages, I actually have just watched a documentary this evening about a town that have a mass brawl once a year in Peru.

This will no doubt get construed as me being racist but calling somebody a crocodile being racist? Fuck off! It's hardly the N word is it

I like Eggington & Yafai, both good lads progressing nicely. Yafai's younger brothers are going to be in the world championships picture down the line. Frankie is a cunt, falling behind because he spends far to much time partying. They get decent enough crowds at the NIA and they're growing their reputations all the time. Boxing is doing well in the city at the minute there's lots of gyms open and packed out. Mma also does well here, there's easily 30+ white collar / mma events per weekend across the city now.

I fully expect the Lions to be beating these teams by now. They need to if they're going to give the genuine All Blacks a test. Still predicting 3-0 to the All Blacks

I was impressed with Holloway & Gustaffson recently. Think Holloway will be king for awhile

It was a great result from the chiefs. A club that's done it the right way I hope they continue on with success for years to come. Not enthusiastic about the Lions at all, Gatland was the wrong choice in my eyes and taking the Bulk of the Welsh who aren't as good as England and Ireland will see us get drubbed badly.

I personally don't care, first few sentences is about himself though, typical diva.

Yeah In fairness it didn't look as bad his eye looked open and I didn't doubt he had hurt it but i thought he'd took an easy route out. It's since been revealed he's broken the eye socket same as against GGG but opposite eye so I have no problem with Kell taking a knee. Long term that may be it for him, both those eyes are suspect now

I'm with Bellew to a degree why take the knee, he still had a punchers chance

Didn't know you liked fishing?

Books you're winding me up

So you're saying we're fucked lol. I'm with you to be honest I'm not sold on Bruce at all

The Third is the weakest of the three but it's a transitional period so it's not too bad.

I think Amavi will be a great player in a rolls royce team where he can bomb on, no use having to actually defend for periods. Okore looked mentally shattered towards the end, remember the comedy own goal, we've done that to a few players, It's the coaching it's been shite for a long period of time. I'd expect him to get into the First team picture on a regular basis next season if he's going to make it, looks ok at U23 level but that means sweet FA at the Villa.

That story in the Mirror has been dismissed. I think we'll spend but it won't be like last year and it will be smarter purchases. Amavi is off and in fairness he can't defend for shit so I'm not bothered

Hate it going abroad but with MLR looking a possibility the game will move fast in the next 10 years. Sarries impressed me with their Heinkien cup win last week and they've been done by the chiefs late on today.

Beauty and the Beast 3/10 If it wasn't for the fact she'd get fucked she'd be fucked for a career this Emma Watson. The fist time I've ever seen her act, and act isn't a word I'll use with her name in the same sentence again. Also why is a rural French village riddled with upper class a English actors using their own accents I don't know.

Ben youngster has withdrawn from the Lions as his Brothers (Tom) wife has been diagnosed Terminally ill. Shame for The family

Aston Villa are shortly expected to announce the shock signing of Eden Hazard from Chelsea. Agent Diane Abbott said the £300,000 deal had been completed without a hitch and Hazard was happy with all the financial incentives.

I will watch it but I'm waiting a few weeks so I can binge watch. I'm watching the Affair to with the Mrs, can't recommend that highly enough for character drama.

Season 2 if you get into it is some of the best tv you're going to see. I personally love it, I don't care if it's bat shit crazy. Kevin in the hotel and Christopher Eccleston's struggle to get Mary into Miracle are the best two episodes. As with lost I fear I'll still have questions when the next 5 hours are done but fuck it, it's brilliant at the time.
