Norwich ready for a hammering tomorrow, Tooze?

Everton really need the three points so hopefully we can pull it off, but I have a horrible feeling about playing at Carrow Road.

I'm a West Ham fan. Favourite player right now Joe Cole or Mark Noble. Joey was my hero growing up, having him back made me scream like a little girl. Notable mentions for Paolo Di Canio, Julian Dicks and Steve Potts. Scotty Parker is still a favourite, even if hes a sp*rs player now. Scholes, Giggs and Keane always been at the top for me too.

Raised to love Bobby Moore. Never saw the great man play, but he is just ingrained as a hero for any West Ham fan, you get taught about him nearly every day. Will be a big night Monday.

I watch and read too much nonsense to list. I would promote the old Ricky Gervais podcasts and the old Jon Richardson and Russell Howard radio shows as amazing comedy.

Listen to a lot of Childish Gambino. I also hate Morrissey and would love to spit at him

I think we are in with a chance to take something, with tettey out that means we ate likely to go back to our better. Formation of 4-4-2 with becchio or kamara joining Holt up top. Hoolahan will probs be the wildcard if he plays well then so do we

For my sins I am a Rangers and Liverpool fan.

Other than football I'll watch pretty much any sport going although wrestling (it's still a sport to me dammit!), MMA, tennis, rugby union, F1 and Moto GP are my faves.

I have a PS3 but I don't have FIFA 13, think the last FIFA game I got was 2010. Can't actually remember the last game I bought, might have been LA Noire, although I'm buzzing about GTA V if it ever comes out.

Oh and I recently got engaged but that's not important right now! Laugh

My main 3 sports are
Football - Everton
F1 - McLaren
Wrestling

I like watching the Crucible and the odd tennis match. All round casual sports fan but certainly no expert in any of them.

Favourite band I've seen live is Radiohead last year at the 02. Amazing gig.
Can't say I've seen any poor gigs so far.

Worst gig for me so far was Alexandra Burke ............ spent the whole day at the races with the premise of a special guest after the final race. We were drunk as hell, warm summers night so we decided to get right down the front. Alex came on, it started to chuck it down and everyone left and went home. When it was down to about 50 people, our minibus arrrived and we were off!! Probably not her fault I might add, but it wasnt the best ending to our night

Too many - Metallica supported by Machine Head in Manchester was a beast of a gig and Slipknot and Andrew WK were brilliant too!!!
My first gig was Muse supported by Coldplay which was pretty cool!!! Saw Muse 4 times that year!!!

Waste - Steps and Bewitched played a gig in our local park which i got dragged to (kicking and screaming) which was god awful!!! steam Memories still haunt me to his day Ha!!!

Oi! Leave Steps alone!

I have seen them but it wasnt the worst concert I have been to.

Fave is most probably Guns N Roses. Least favourite most probably Thin Lizzy (who were support).

For me the best gig was Foo Fighters a couple of years ago at Milton Keynes, everyone was just hugely up for it and we got front row, my Mrs is only 5ft 1in and a petite frame with it so the guards and everyone around made sure she was looked after and they kept bringing her water all the time, didn't want to tell them she always looks that pale.
Worst was probably Chili Peppers at the MEN arena, Chicks on Speed were the warm up act and the crowd hated them, Anthony Kiedis was apparantely at it with one of them so when he came on stage he wasn't happy and moaned about how everyoen treated the warm up act, they didn't put much effort into the gig then.

Saw Guns N Roses (well Axel Rose and a backing back) at Download06 and they were god awful for half the gig coz Axel Rose keeps leaving the stage for a few minutes after each song leaving the backing band to do awful guitar solos of pop songs like "Beautiful"!!! Second half was beast!!!

Zebrahead and My chemical B*stard Romance were cr*p too!!!

This is the first time I've actually noticed this.

Better be quick with a lil bit about me.

Fav football team: Cardiff
NFL team: new York giants
NBA team: new York Knicks (only NBA team I've seen live AND in the garden before the most recent upgrades)

Other sports I enjoy are mma, f1, darts, boxing. There are probably more but I can't think of anymore at present.

On another note, Brighton have been the best team I've seen down the CCS and also felt bad for Leicester tonight as they deserved the three points.

Lol. Mate the way we are playing at the moment I honestly can't see us doing it. As crazy as that sounds but only cardiff could mess an 11 point lead up, all you have to do is look at the way our seasons have ended the past few years. I won't believe that we can do it until the final ball is kicked!

I can honestly say that Crips and I have just done the most awesome interview we have ever done for this site.

A true wrestling legend gave us a 30 minute interview!

Feel free to have a guess as to who it is.

The only clue I will give is that he was at the top f his game in the WWF in the 80s and early 90s

Made the same song over and over and over...

Demanded his sistas be respected but abused his sistas nonetheless. A walking contradiction.

Sold his soul to the devil (Suge Knight) and forgot what he was supposed to be about.

A fantastic artist who I grew up listening to in the 90's but the fact remains he was a bully and a genuine thug. The whole thug life thing was definitely not a gimmick.

A decent poet yes but a great lyricist and wordsmith? No!

Nowhere near the level of Nas, Jay Z, Biggie, Eminem (pre 2004), Chuck D and many others.

All that said Juice is still an amazing film 20+ years on.

Made the same song over and over and over... - Cant agree here, some may have been along the same subject, but you cant make as many songs as he did and make eveyone about something completely different.

Demanded his sistas be respected but abused his sistas nonetheless. A walking contradiction. - If you are talking about the sexual abuse case then I believe Tupacs version of events (maybe I am biaised). If you are talking about songs where he calls them h*s and b*tched then I kinda see your point. However my counter-point would be (and the same could be said for a lot of rappers) that when he talks about women like that then he is talking about a certain type of woman. Some women genuinely are b*tches (and as Tupac said plenty of men could be b*tches too). But songs like Keep Ya Head Up are for the genuine women out there.

Sold his soul to the devil (Suge Knight) and forgot what he was supposed to be about. - Not much to disagree with here. He was kind of left with no choice though as Suge was offering him a chance to get out of jail and as far as Pac was concerned (rightly or wrongly) all of his other friends had deserted him.

A fantastic artist who I grew up listening to in the 90's but the fact remains he was a bully and a genuine thug. The whole thug life thing was definitely not a gimmick. - No it wasnt but it certainly wasnt all about being hard and beating people up etc. Thug Life was about much more than that. Im sure you already know what it stood for anyway so I wont go into that unless you need me to elaborate furhter.

A decent poet yes but a great lyricist and wordsmith? No! - IMO he was the greatest of them all. He certainly didnt have the flow of Biggie, or the multi-syllable rhyming technique of an Eminem or a Big Pun but IMO he was on a whole other level with his lyrics. Songs such as Hail Mary, Pain and even more so, So Many Tears demonstrate my point here

Nowhere near the level of Nas, Jay Z, Biggie, Eminem (pre 2004), Chuck D and many others. - Similar to the above. I am fans of all these rappers but IMO (and thats the key here I suppose - opinion) they were nowhere near his level. Nas himself admitted this and IMO he is the closest you get to 2 Pac in terms of how raw and real he was.

All that said Juice is still an amazing film 20+ years on. - Fully agrreed

Please see above.

Demanded his sistas be respected but abused his sistas nonetheless. A walking contradiction. - If you are talking about the sexual abuse case then I believe Tupacs version of events (maybe I am biaised). If you are talking about songs where he calls them h*s and b*tched then I kinda see your point. However my counter-point would be (and the same could be said for a lot of rappers) that when he talks about women like that then he is talking about a certain type of woman. Some women genuinely are b*tches (and as Tupac said plenty of men could be b*tches too). But songs like Keep Ya Head Up are for the genuine women out there.

Sold his soul to the devil (Suge Knight) and forgot what he was supposed to be about. - Not much to disagree with here. He was kind of left with no choice though as Suge was offering him a chance to get out of jail and as far as Pac was concerned (rightly or wrongly) all of his other friends had deserted him.

A fantastic artist who I grew up listening to in the 90's but the fact remains he was a bully and a genuine thug. The whole thug life thing was definitely not a gimmick. - No it wasnt but it certainly wasnt all about being hard and beating people up etc. Thug Life was about much more than that. Im sure you already know what it stood for anyway so I wont go into that unless you need me to elaborate furhter.

A decent poet yes but a great lyricist and wordsmith? No! - IMO he was the greatest of them all. He certainly didnt have the flow of Biggie, or the multi-syllable rhyming technique of an Eminem or a Big Pun but IMO he was on a whole other level with his lyrics. Songs such as Hail Mary, Pain and even more so, So Many Tears demonstrate my point here

Nowhere near the level of Nas, Jay Z, Biggie, Eminem (pre 2004), Chuck D and many others. - Similar to the above. I am fans of all these rappers but IMO (and thats the key here I suppose - opinion) they were nowhere near his level. Nas himself admitted this and IMO he is the closest you get to 2 Pac in terms of how raw and real he was.

All that said Juice is still an amazing film 20+ years on. - Fully agrreed

Please see above.

As soon as he signed with Death Row the writing was on the wall and it's a shame that Interscope completely gave up on him but they were tired of apologising on his behalf and watch him sail too close to the wind time after time. His work up until All Eyez on Me was brilliant and pure.

All Eyez on Me, whilst a decent effort, was rushed and jam packed with tired filler. Everything after that was so-so. I still listen to his work from time to time and can appreciate his gift. I have no problem with anybody regarding him as the best and I'm sure he's still the highest grossing rapper of all time (?) but for me he fits somewhere in the 6-10 bracket. I actually think his death benefits his standing.

I've read - as I'm sure you have - enough to formulate an opinion on him as a human being and he was a nasty piece of work. You only have to look at the CCTV tape of his last night to see that. Hit em Up is probably the most ill advised record release of all time also and he did himself no favours there!

Pac and Suge were a bomb waiting to go off and go off it did.

As you say it's all about opinions. It's just a shame he didn't clean his act up because he was some talent. thumbsup

It is all opinions I suppose - I actually regard his Death Row material as his best! All Eyez On Me and Killuminati are classics in my eyes (although I still love all the prior albums).

But Im not going to sit here and say he did no wrong and was an angel. He definitely did some things which were not at all decent or recommendable. But in a way he became such an angry man through circumstances. When you think about it, he got shot 5 times and believed it was his friends who set him up. Then he went to prison for something he didnt really do (this is my belief cant prove either way). Thats enough to turn anyone ito an angry rageful man.

It is a shame though I agree, and while I think Death Row bought out the best in him music-wise, I agree that it was probably the beginning of his demise...

Good to have a proper thought out discussion about it though as opposed to wumming and insults OK
