there are very few outside of his own mind who would ever condone what he did or how he did it and it does seem looking back he was unstable at the time and dont think those around him helped any either , you would expect your nearest and dearest to offer more balanced advice wouldnt you however such is life, if we were all the same wouldnt life and this forum be boring??? hes moved on and i am sure most fans have too, all chip paper now isnt it

Don't know if I would class his over inflated ego as 'unstable'.
His billy-big-bollox/all about himself attitude is why he is were he is now..
Good talent wasted due to self obsession..

like I said if we were all the same wouldnt life be boring!!

True.. but can't help thinking there is a certain level of irony, being the player he was, the way he treated the club/fans due to his ego... and now he is left on the scrap heap from a sport he could've gave so much more to.. boring..maybe, karma... could be

Fair comment. Not going to bother reading what he has to say either though. Unless it's "sorry"

Kosh I think you stopped your sentence too soon as it should have read 'Sensationalism is their stock in trade, Journalism is not.'

Gotta agree and I think he would also agree that his current situation is definately reaping what he himself sowed !!!
but anyone who knows him will also say he has changed a lot too now and is a much more affable fella now, the chip he used to carry on both shoulders has been wiped off...

Paul Cooke, Dean Windass - where do they recruit them...





Anyone grafting away for a journalism degree stop right now - you're clearly not what the Daily Rag is looking for.

That's all fine and well for him tho bud, but for everyone not in anyway connected to him it is and will be a bridge to far for forgiveness!!

and thats fair too, each deal ith it in their own way, hope he does ok with the column tho

I still remember the fat arrogant at Cardiff sticking his two fingers up at the faithful in bar..

There are people in this city who have gone to work and worked hard, being loyal, and served their employers well, sadly they have been made redundant and are looking for any opportunity to get back on the ladder...then we have Judas whose story tells itself, I will not be reading his garbage!!

wonder if he will be at cardiff working for the HDM in any way

Agree, takes the p**s when you imagine how many CV's from talented people they'll throw in the bin each year eh.

Will sit on the fence regarding that lol.. could be an interesting read on one hand... yet does he deserve the attention??? Hmmm..

Tbh,everything he will put down will be edited by the chiefs at HDM before it's printed!!!!!

At least nobody will be asking James tommorow about if we are going to sign cooke

I do remember him sticking one finger up at Cardiff.

Only my opinion, but I doubt any SL club would have expressed any interest in him for this season, he might have had a bit of interest from some championship clubs, but he's burnt alot of bridges and I can't see him playing SL again and maybe not even pro again. All his own fault though and a waste of good talent.

As for the HDM feature, he's like Fewings, you have a choice to read it or not. Personally I'll have a read and a little chuckle to myself.

My thoughts too, when John Kear lets him go, you'd have to think he has few fans left within the professional game.

I claim my £5...you are PC's dad.

Get a grip

Some people need to get a grip.

He fooked us over.....He's takin the p1ss out of us and he's a criminal.

Lets hope he doesnt use his wages to buy STELLA'S.

Just what the hell would he have to say that we would be interested in...

"James and I had a clear-the-air talk last night, and I am delighted with our two-year agreement and honoured to be representing this club again."

Oh how the mighty fall!

and what is your point



He fooked us over.....took the p1ss...and is happily married

Just cancelled my Hull Daily Mail.
