Ugh, West Ham are just training! We hardly get a chance to relax with a win and reports on teletext are saying our landlords are on the verge of bankruptcy! Bankruptcy, you can't make it up! Apparently they could end up locking us out!

Once again we are faced with that al too familiar dilemma ,on Wednesday night we face the scum in a crucial cup tie ,on Saturday we face fellow strugglers Palace in a what is already a "must win " ,1,what is to be done stick out an understrength team hoping for damage limitations and no injurys , 2,fight like fuk to beat them and so add another badge on our lapel and proceed further in what some consider the waist of space cup or 3, if Bilic has got two matches to put it right is it fair that this counts as one of them ?

It was stated that we had to move to progress,to be able to move forward,have we,NO
Bigger ground,get more supporters in,so more revenue,has it helped,NO
Couldn't play there,till the Athletics board said we could,with no home friendlies,did that help the start of our season,NO
Are we in charge of our own ground,NO
Bigger ground more atmosphere than Upton Park,NO,Flat as a witches tit,YES

Our last season at Upton park was the best we had played for years,a cauldron of passion and soul,thats not there now.One of the other discussions states that it being a experiment,well said,trouble is we cant say that it hasn't worked,we will go back,that can never happen,we are stuck with this.
I thank the two Davids in getting the books square,but think their business sense in this area,is falling short,and they should stick with what they know.Dealing with people in the porn business,is a different kind of business all together,if you get my meaning,the handling and what angle you come from,which I think is why we are just not appealing to do business with,and lets be honest,a total laughing stock,thats why they have Karen Brady fronting it for them.I don't think she is liked in some circles,and basically,in this whole ground move has no doubt lined their pockets and hers.I can go back as far as the Cearns family,and they even had their hands in the till then,Terence Brown was the same,then the Icelandic fiasco, that's why for forty eight years ive watched nothing but mediocrity.This wonderful club I'm afraid has run on the 1966 reputation,where we did have a few good years.I like Slav and was glad he came but I think he has lost his way.
Levy is no fool at Spurs,he has been watching all this,and would imagine he has stomache cramps with laughter.Their ground will be theirs and no doubt out of this world.It will be built for football,as close to,and over the pitch as possible,not having to play musical chairs,when someone wants to use it,and having concorses so wide that the upper tier is even further away so the atmosphere disintegrates into the clouds.I hate to say it,that club is run properly,and it shows on the field.
On paper we have a decent team but with every game now its,"i hope this happens",and hype ourselves up hoping for something good,only to find out that the team and club are constantly pissing in the wind.
