Amid the discussion and dispute over our season, Sam's future, potential new manager, the Olympic stadium, our owners, Nolan, style of play - let's just take a moment to come together and celebrate the fact
Millwall have been relegated to League One :)
one of my favorite films is on sky movies tonight at 8 "Blue Jasmine" , Kate Blanchete won an Oscar for her part in this , for those of you who prefer lots of blood and guts or a tense thriller dont bother this isn't for you , it tells the story of a neurotic , alcoholic women on the verge of a breakdown after her marriage break up to a wealthy investor , it really is a great sit back and enjoy movie
In a sports bar in Dubai. Really nice guy had my photo taken with him such a gent . Only found out two days later one of his cheques bounced over here . Not a good idea over here believe me . I hear it's raining and cold over in the uk shame . ... :)))
I have to admit during the one year ( approximately ) for which westhamfans.org was lost to us I had a look at other West Ham sites and forums and I did not find them remotely as enjoyable as this one. Never registered on Kumb, I didn't like Westhamonline for some reason and as for a site I found Claretandhugh to be extremely annoying and I only went on there to get irritated by a certain fellow who loves to provide a " top insider info " lol. Opinions?
Just off the top of my head I can recall Rob Green saving 3 in a row in 2007 against Reading, Pompey and Spurs...
An interesting report in the Metro stating the reason West Ham have offered cheaper season tickets for the New stadium is they really do think they might not be able to fill it when we move there! The report commends SUGO for doing it but suggests there is an ulterior motive, sighting Arsenals move to the Emerites and then raising prices due to a huge waiting list! We don't have a waiting list and our current football is not that attractive under Allardyce as the Metro reports, so SUGO have reduced prices!
I can see their reasoning but welcome the reductions, I just hope we have a new manager and are playing attractive football then we will fill it regardless !!!
does anyone think that sam wants to leave? his team selections smack of someone that isn't interested. yes he played burke which was something but the continued playing of nolan and use of cole….anyone else think its a case of he can't be bothered anymore? its easier to send nolan out because he knows the team talk, he knows what 'he needs to do' etc, making it far easier for sam to keep it as it is rather than change it up and rethink the tactics. perhaps he's already decided he's not renewing his contract but doesnt want the indignation of saying he's resigned. all in all i think nows the time to be looking at different players…i mean the results don't really make a difference to us either way anymore. burke came in but its hardly the biggest of changes. the team went stale a long time ago, so with us being safe surely the younger players would bring in some freshness and a desire to show they can do well..something the likes of noble and downing and nolan have long since given up. maybe its all done and dusted, sam's going and hence this sort of damp squib ending to the season. perhaps sam has simply had enough too.
"3" a significant number in Hammers history and I will start at the end.. Adrian the first EPL keeper to save 3 consecutive penalties (v Spurs, Leicester and now QPR) , Bobby Moore the first Captain to lift 3 trophies at Wembley in consecutive seasons (FA Cup '64, ECWC, '65 and WC in '66), 3 Hammers players featured in the WC final) Sir Geoff the first and to date only player to hit a hat-trick in a WC Final! The Hammers in that '64 cup run scored 3 goals in every victory in every round (inc the Final v Preston) , The Hammers have won 3 FA Cups (and an "old" second division club were involved in all 3), Alvin Martin scored a hat-trick on April 21st 1986 against 3 different keepers v Newcastle! That season we reached our highest league position "3rd" we have appeared in 3 play off finals, this is our 3rd season back in the top flight since our last relegation. At least 3 more wins to the end of the season (please!) would be nice.
Thought to share the video again. If god had asked me what I wanted for a son before he was born I would have lost out, as he has exceeded any expectations I had for a son, so happy birthday to a proper West Ham fan.
