Nothing short of amazing the things Adams has achieved in his playing career - and even more amazing that he has managed to turn his life around when he was at rock bottom!
He done his time as coach at Wycombe, and as assistant to Redknap. He well deserves his chance at Pompey and good luck to him!!

In a previous thread i wrote that I hoped that Paul Gascoigne would pull through all his demons in good time. He suffers the curse that afflicts so many ordinary people in this world, and once afflicted Tony Adams.
Like a lucky few, Tony Adams has confronted the wrongdoings of his past, admitting he had/has a problem, and did all he could to overcome it. And he did so with great success.
For people like Gazza and others who continue to suffer from addictions, Tony Adams should be the shining light example of how people can turn their own lives around and prove to the world that they are not bad people who should be shunned for errors made in the past, but as people who as long as they are willing to change, should be given a chance to redeem themselves.
Tony has done just that and the Daily Mail have done themselves no favours by ignoring his off the field achievements.

The Mail was also a big fan of General Franco during the Spanish Civil War, so you probably can't expect much in the way of balanced and objective journalism from it. I'm just surprised they managed to print a whole article that didn't refer to house prices, immigration or weekly f**king bin collections.Cus Geezer wrote:Arsenal legend Adams is as much remembered for turning his life extremely well around after admitting his problems with alcohol at a much earlier stage than Gazza or George Best did, his work reforming alcoholics with Sporting Chance, his Sports Science degree at Brunel University, his learning to play the piano and his absorbing of Wenger's advice and health regime that extended his career by 5 years than he is for being sent to prison for drink-driving and breaking a team-mate's arm during a celebration.
And as if dating Caprice was something to be ashamed of, is this jounalist guy some sort of eunuch?
The Daily Mail is as much remembered for it's support of Hitler's Germany and Moseley's black shirts in the 30s as it is for it's reactionary right wing insecure rantings of a middle aged male menopause victim.

I don't get that, how does one get the experience if they're not tried? Are they born with some sort of experience gene?EC3 wrote:Persoanlly i find Adams a little strange now days with some of his comments.
I'm damn sure if i was the Portsmouth Chairman i wouldn't take a chance on someone basically unproven at this level, come to that, any decent level, total madness.
Were Liverpool mad to take a chance on Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish all of whom had no experience at that level?
Was Tottenham's decision to appoint Ramos pearls of wisdom considering that he had won European trophies and managed a Champions League side, hence having top level experience?

Brand temporarily suspended, he will be back.xDAVEYx wrote:in other news, said paper has pretty much forced russel brand to resign from the bbc after the whole prank call mountain-of-molehill...
im not a big fan but the guy has his moments and no one cared until the mail started screaming about it
He needs a kick up the backside for what he did anyway, he was out of order.
Maybe it is my age showing but I think Andrew Sachs has more talent in his little finger than Russell Brand has in his whole career so far.

Ah, was at the game tonight, had not heard Brand had resigned, was focussing on other matters but thanks for pointing that out.xDAVEYx wrote:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7698417.stmQuartzGooner wrote:Maybe it is my age showing but I think Andrew Sachs has more talent in his little finger than Russell Brand has in his whole career so far.
He will be back though, Angus Dayton and Jamie Theakston came back after scandals.

Tony Adams = Legendary, tough-tackling, awe-inspiring Arsenal and England captain, famed for a 19 year career at one club, the biggest in Britain; a man who overcame personal demons to become an even better footballer and man.
Daily Mail = Nasty, zenophobic, racist, hysterical right-wing purveyor of middle-class, middle-England scaremongering b*lls*it.
Most righthinking people know that Tony Adams is an inpiration.
Most right-thinking decent people know that the Mail is full of offensive sh*te.

Tabloid newspapers outrage at Russell Brand's shocking vulgarity, bullying, celebrity humiliating, invasion of privacy and voyeuristic exposure of someone's sex life.
Fuck me what next?
Jonathon King's outrage at Michael Jackson's admittance to sleeping with young boys?

The grandaughter carries herself like a tart but it was wrong to publically humiliate an innocent Andrew Sachs.
