As the Founder and Editor of this site for over 23 years, I have always avoided straying from authoring non-football-related issues, but i am afraid I cannot in all honesty ignore the Slaughter that is unfolding in front of us in Gaza. I cannot condone the murderous actions of Hamas that was the latest trigger in a long line of conflict, but I CANNOT condone the continuous activities of the `Israeli Defence Force'! There is a particularly horrific numeric 'calculation' used by them in 'retaliation' to anyone who dares stand up against their imposed invasion and occupation of territory they have absolutely no right to be in, that ratio is upwards of 10-1 increasing to 100-1 and more.

This ratio is for the LIVES of defenceless Women and Children and then men! Women and Children makeup for 80% of the casualties! Prime minister Ricki Sunak went from hero to Zero by 'backing' Israel wholeheartedly from the very beginning of this conflict as did the senile Joe Biden of the USA....shame on them, they are recreating the Blair Bush religiously generated genocide that they oversaw in Iraq.

Britain and America have a lot to answer for in the Middle East, especially Palestine1 having let the Arab League down enormously after their unfulfilled promises after the 1st World War, the British then compounded their neglect of the Palestinians by 'allowing' the State of Israel to be put in place under the Ballflor declaration terms!

This is where America comes in and takes full control of the situation by threatening to cut of ALL the monies that Britain depended on from it's supposed ally that it needed to keep going having bankrupted itself to fight the evil of fascism and the genocide of the Nazi regime.

Unfortunately children who are abused when they are young often become abusers them selves, and that is exactly what the Israeli's are doing now, make no mistake they are and have been carrying out systematic genocide for years and years and will continue to do so until the United nations finally grow some balls and make a stand, the reason they have ALWAYS failed to do so over the last 75 years is quite simple....MONEY!

The big banks are still owned by Jewish people who use their enormous wealth to get what they want in America by threatening to bankrupt their own nation, so what chance does any other nation have?

This war will NOT go away, the IDF can and will slaughter every living soul they can in order to 'eradicate' the Palestininas and their entire nation, JUst as the Nazis tried to do with them and ultimately failed! The Isrealis might succeed in the short term but will have stoked the fire of an eternal struggle in which they WILL ultimately fail themselves, because a whole new generation of young men will grow up knowing only hatred in their hearts with their sole reason for existing being the destruction of Israel!

I do NOT claim to have the answers, but it is only by addressing the problems that there can be any chance of a solution....ask the many Jewish friends that I have if I am Anti-semetic before passing judgement on this article and just be thankful that we still live in the 'true land of the free' despite its failings- Ed

Quite a hit in its day they say is that true?

Wow watched a documentary on you tube...remember Gary back in the day...so unassuming because he kind of shunned the limelight & moved from south london to Kent..all the focus was on Frank & quite rightly so but Gary Mason was a seriously good boxer who beat loads of opponents that Mike Tyson beat also in his prime...its only now that I can really appreciate the likes of Garr Mason God rest his soul..as I quietly go about my business now,a but deep guys but if you have time there are amazing docus on telly if you swerve the mainstream stuff

Whats this post you may ask well simply put last season a very kind Gent helped me when some bullies at the Chelski game tried to manhandle me and my knight in shining armour saved me sooo a year on i have been able to forward on that good deed to a poor soul who works out at my gym.

Now if any of you on here go to the gym you may recognise what i am about to write but i feel i have to because it is such an epidemic now it causes problems where there were none before.

A Man who started coming in to the gym the past four months to try and lose weight and better himself has been doing really well and the other people in my little community encourage him a lot and he is feeling good until this morning and the claws on this girl came out straight away to defend this poor man as he did not know what to do.

Yes thats right guys he was waiting to see if this girl had finished using the equipment when loud as you like she shouted out that he was perving on her and being a creep he had no place being there and he needed to leave the poor guy was perplexed and went red with embarrassment.

I was not having that so i squared up to this lycra clad bitch who you guessed it had been filming herself doing sweet F.A. hoping for some drama to post on here social media well guys she got a little more than was bargained for as i let her no that if she wanted to shake her booty for all and sundry to see then go walk the streets as that is where Whores belonged and not in the gym where people try to better themselves she tried to splutter out things like we have to stick together as men think they have the right to leer at women working out pffffff i told her grow up live in the real world as i have a problem with her and women like her coming to the gym not to work out but hoping to cause a scene and told her SHE had no place in this gym and leave before i help her to leave.

She toddled off tail firmly between her legs and thankfully the gym owner has now barred any filming in the gym unless authorised by himself the guys applauded and said they had opened a book and i was the big fav to take her lol and we all went back to our toil at the gym afterwards the man said thanks because he said i had no idea what i had done wrong and like i said he had done nothing wrong and warned him if he does not come back to the gym this week we will come and drag him back because one bitch like that is not worth ruining your health over.

So i apologise to any of you guys if you have suffered with this kind of person at the gym and if they are filming as they always are go to the manager/owner and ask them to stop that happening because they are not interested in working out just drama pffff.

And Burkieeee no i do not wear lycra I wear baggy shirts and joggers that dont look like they have been painted on lol now go lay down in a darkened room with a nice cup of sweet tea xx

It's like the old East End these days....everyone wants to fight each other then after the tear up we hug & kiss each other & that's just the men!
The Women are tough as old boots,ten times more scary than the meanest geezer.
The filth ( old bill) are you allowed to say that nowadays? Well tough titty! Are camped outside,drug dens,old time villains but a real sense of community is coming back on the manor,people that have lived here donkeys years are saying "shit innit" then we laugh with it!!
Covid...we shit it,London on sea,the beach,the Airport...now a bloody city fgs...a vision from an incredibly passionate,caring man...an Eastender & Hammer of course! The only way is up gang,yazz & the plastic population...
Or is it just me?? COYI

Don't worry H G this a light hearted topic directed at the male of the species,phew I thought I better clarify that before a number of moderators got on my case!!
Anyway trust me it is intended to be light hearted I certainly am not trying to get back to the old toxic Org...feck me I'd be the first to be offski to Russian shores...
I degress it starts in school then at work then middle age then i think luckily it really wanes by about 60 ish where basically you can say what you bloody well like...
Anyway ffs they're saying get to the point H...lol.;)
I'm possibly going through a mid life crisis,have contacted some associates of old recently in the building game still most of them around my age & all have their own businesses so we've all done OK!!
Some in Holland, some in Belgium,some East End still,some sarf of the river,Essex etc
Well this is the funny thing I was quite a shy kid,tried to be unassuming,but always stuck up for myself..feck me you had to simple as! But what was important to me was to keep that sense of humour as much as possible,half East End/ Irish surely i must have inherited it from somewhere.
Anyway cut a long story short & feck me most of the boring bastards have blocked me on F B...some people just don't get it...

Not sure its appropriate but heard the news recently & what with the usual gossip & boredom of pre season thought I'd pay tribute to a wonderfull singer ( who could forget that video) she wasn't afraid to speak up for what she believed in & I thought it was a bit sad how all these so called 'celebrity's' have come out of the woodwork now but stayed quiet for a long time when she clearly had issues...Anyway again i hope its not inappropriate R.I.p Sinead

And thank you for reducing that smug, arrogant d*ck to tears. Murray apart, I haven't loathed any other tennis player as much as that piece of .....

Singapore have just executed a man for organising the import of just less than a Kilo of Puff into their godforsaken sweat pit of a country! The evidence was NOT conclusive and the hanging had swiftly followed that of a man who could not read or write and was 'mentally challenged' for having three table spoons of a class A drug!
These were despicable acts by a Stalin State government who have absolutely no right to sit at the UN or any other council of representatives. Their barbarous regime needs taking down and I hope it happens in my lifetime. Make no mistake, drugs are a curse on our humanity that have huge ramifications on society, but enough is enough.
I had planned to fly with a stop off in Singapore to visit a very ill friend in Australia but will NOT put foot in such an EVIL country and will reroute via a more civilised country. Thailand which used to have a similarly draconian approach to drugs how now done a complete U turn and encourage their farmers to grow marijuana which they sell to tourists, penalties for class A drugs remain tough but they don't EXECUTE people! I feel so strongly about this issue that I am going down to their embassy to warn the Police outside that the Embassy WILL be targeted by protesters day and night at random times so they had better be prepared for a lot of fall out!
If you had planned to go to Singapore DON'T if you have any conscience - Ed
