Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted January 5, 2009 Interesting timing for a show called "Surviving Gazza". The average Palestinian probably has a better life expectancy. Debatable who gets bombed more often. He was extensively discussed for DL '09, just missed by the length of a footie stud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted January 6, 2009 I'm with Lardy on this one, he's on my DDP team and I think his mental issues are strong enough to endanger him in several ways. Suicidal sometimes, reckless most of the time, and the drink and drugs could be costly, not to mention the obsessive compulsion that might lead him to do something daft like drive over the same level crossing twice before going on his way. Long shot for sure, but it wouldn't be a total surprise if he died this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted February 27, 2009 Given the 3.1 million sales per day and estimated 8 million daily readers of The Sun, I can't be the only one availing himself of this weeks' extensive coverage of a healthy, alcohol free and surprisingly chipper Gazza. You've got to give the man full respect for a level of recovery and - apparent - insight into his problems that many of us thought beyond him. I just wish he'd done it six months earlier and spared the mixed feelings for those of us picking him on a deadpool or two this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dia de los Muertos 7 Posted March 7, 2009 WTF??? "Troubled Paul Gascoigne is tackling his booze problems by freezing his body to –125C. The football legend has left rehab and is using a radical new treatment called cryotherapy." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razor Boy 19 Posted March 8, 2009 Cryotherapy sound like Grade A+ Bull Sh1t to me. Why do people try crack pot treatments that are not scientifically tested ? I mean that's why god gave us lab rats and beagles ! Razor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted March 8, 2009 ***WARNING SERIOUS POST*** If its the therapy im thinking of then it could actually work. A very similar treatment is offered by a Doctor in Russia for Heroin addicts. There was a mini TV documentary on it a good while back. Apparently, the success rate is astonishing but it is a risky procedure. The whole idea is to get the body temperature down to a certain level which will both cleanse the body and kill off any desire for the drug. Laugh if you must but this story does appear to have some degree of scientific basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted March 16, 2009 It's all mixed news. You've got to give respect to Gazza and those at the Tony Adams' place who helped sort him out. Then again, that compromised heart and his desperately serious addictions could return when he's furthest from help, and the downward spiral would be rapid. Fair play to the man though, I didn't think he'd pull it off to this degree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted April 19, 2009 Gazza was on MOTD2 tonight, looking pretty well (if a little ravaged) and claiming to be four months sober. A lot less chubby than in his later playing days, too. Adrian Chiles was enthusing about his washboard stomach, which rather put me off my cornflakes.

Adrian Chiles was enthusing about his washboard stomach, which rather put me off my cornflakes. Even managed a match at the weekend Gascoigne, who has been battling an addiction to alcohol and drugs, was said to look fit and happy during the match. All in a good cause, solidarity in administration and all that. Rumours are that Chester are considering it too H, bloody recession. Although it's slightly ironic he is supporting a team nicknamed the Quakers. Have you ever tried to obtain alcohol in a place like Bourneville? Oh well let's raise a glass to Gazza and to Temperance.

Oh well let's raise a glass to Gazza and to Temperance. I'm sure he's more fixated on Quakers well-known association with "Oats", rather than their temperance. If he's beginnig to sober up, perhaps he's starting to get feeling back in his extremeties. Boy will be boys...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
