Hi Everyone,
I know its not a West Ham Subject, but I know how much of a top bunch you all are and I just wanted to post my JustGiving page as I will be running my first Marathon in Chelmsford (23/10/2016). The charity I will be running for is Cancer Research. Also if anyone else from the Org fancies running as well, we can meet up on the day before the run. https://www.justgiving.com/James-Gooding1

Summer Clear Out Due!

A week can be a long time in politics, a couple of minutes can be a life time in football, and so a week that began with so much promise for West Ham United has unravelled spectacularly. Recent refereeing decisions and then the Sakho saga followed by defeat against Manchester United in the FA Cup replay and then compounded by the media witch hunt that once again got it's claws in to the Olympic Stadium award. All in all a pretty disastrous fall from the heady heights of expectation, but maybe this reality check will stand the team in good stead for the future. Serious lessons will have been learned, and a desire to right certain wrongs may well bring about a positive reaction from the squad, however one thing that is for sure is Slaven Billic will be keen to add quality to his team as well as moving on certain players, you might as well go to top5onlinecasino.ca and spin a wheel to win, you will probably have the same amount of chance to be correct as you would have in predicting Hammers starting line up for next season, particularly in the striking department. Diafra Sakho, Enner Valencia, Emmanuel Emineke and possibly Andy Carroll will all have gone, Bilic has his own ideas as to which players he would like, but David Sullivan will be the man who makes or breaks the deals, after all he hasn't done too badly since the shackles have been removed from him in the recruitment process. Either way, expect to see plenty of new faces when the team first run out in front of a packed new stadium, that is assuming the Stadium hasn't been clawed back by the hearnites! - Ed

Thought that may wake a few of you up and know it is not reality well not yet it isn't but with the whole deal coming to light its been shown that we as a club do not have a veto over any other club wanting to share the stadium all that happens is our costs would be reduced and we get priority over fixtures....so I am guessing for the one season maybe two that the spuds need to build there own new stadia Levy will be interested very much so in ground sharing as they are having trouble finding somewhere to play....and whats to stop chelski doing the same....yup it will happen I am sure of it and so our new home will be forever tainted with anyone wanting to play there can if they have go the money of course.....so its not OUR HOME at all we are just council tenants when all said and done.

European qualifcation

With the poo and city progressing to the semi finals of their respective European competitions there is a possibility that both could end up winning the competition. If that were the case then even if we finish 4th we wont qualify for the champions league.my understanding is that we can only have 4 teams enter the champions league. So that will be Leicester , Spurs and probably arsenal plus one other. Champions league winners and Europa league winners automatically qualify so even 3rd place might not qualify. Or do I have this wrong ?

Enner Valencia

Shockingly bad tonight and I couldn't believe it when I saw that he was starting! Can anyone offer a difference to my opinion, in that we bought him in panic mode and clearly he isn't good enough? £12m???

Westham v Man Utd

I think the writing was on the wall for this game and probably the rest of the season taking a nosedive,with the Sakho-Bilic fiasco,leaving a nasty after-taste.What a time for it to happen ,just before the most crucial game of the season,leaving our best striker in limbo.I'm not a Carroll knocker,I like the guy,but this game was ideal for Sakho and Valencia with their movement and pace.Instead we get a target man with no service and left high and dry for most of the game.Westham were second best for much of the game ,only the last 20 minutes or so did they begin to move up a gear.I don't know the full story behind the row, but surely Bilic should have not allowed his own pride to get in the way of the clubs interests at such a crunch time.I'm really annoyed with this situation,the way Bilic has handled it allowing it to fester and blow our season out of the water......absolutely gutted,to say the least,I thought this was our year.

West Ham Utd : Randolph, Antonio, Ogbonna, Tomkins, Cresswell, Noble, Kouyate, Lanzini, Payet, Valencia, Carroll.
Subs: Adrian, Obiang, Collins, Moses, Emenike, Hendrie, Oxford.
Manchester Utd : De Gea, Fosu-Mensah, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Herrera, Martial, Rashford.
Subs: Romero, Valencia, Young, Schneiderlin, Mata, Memphis, Rooney.
No Reid!
Promo: The bookies see the match fairly evenly, as confirmed in the Euro 2016 News that is available.
There appears to be a huge amount of interest in this fixture, not just domestically, but throughout Europe and beyond, perhaps it is because of the amount of Manchester United players who will effectively be in the shop window, a situation that seems credible given the lack of harmony that is apparent due to LVG's 'strange' guidance. According to the Dutch website Online Wedden who have a keen interest in the Dutch man's ability to hold on to his job, this match is the make or break for the beleaguered manager with the prospects of his continued tenure being very frail.

It's being talked about that Nolan may have been sacked from orient, just wondering what people's thought on this if true?
