Why does Adrian think he has set a record by saving 3 consecutive penalties?
Forums:
Just off the top of my head I can recall Rob Green saving 3 in a row in 2007 against Reading, Pompey and Spurs...

Stadium prices
Forums:
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 Sam even want to stay?
Forums:
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" the magic number?
Forums:
"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.
Oliver is 12 tomorrow - Sunday 26th April

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.
The brain might be functioning somewhat, but the heart is gone.
Forums:
The result is not the problem but the abject sameness of everything West Ham regarding the football is destroying the feeling of being a hammers fan, and I know this has been done to death but "please please please, I want to feel something again, good or bad not just bloody Indifferent.
So where is this big push Allardyce spoke about three weeks ago?
Forums:
So we beat Sunderland 3 weeks ago (very luckily) and Allardyce comes out and says we will now push on for a top 8 place!!! Two defeats and two draws later and only 2 points from 4 games we look like only getting 2 more points from our last 4 games with a 46 point total and in all probabilty 13th place.
SUGO and Bradey seem to be back tracking on replacing the idiot in charge of our team as well for what reason I know not! I just hope it's a ruse and he will be let go after the Newcastle game. The only push I would like to see is SUGO and Bradey pushing Allardyce out of Upton Park!!!
2 shots on target today against QPR and 4-5-1 again to accommodate his mate Nolan and Noble having yet another poor game our midfield was dreadful.
Only one positive for me today was Burke's debut
