'Boro In For Antonio, Are They Having A Giraffe?
Silly season is about to kick off at the beginning of June when the transfer window opens, however that doesn't stop a raft of spurious rumours surfacing at every opportunity. This leads us to the Michail Antonio to Middlesborough 'distortion' currently doing the rounds, firstly 'Boro are in no way to blame for this 'story', all that has happened is that a 'spokesperson' for the club replied yes when asked if Antonio would be the sort of player they were looking at following their promotion to the Barclays Premier League. Saying you would like a player at your club would be like Slaven Billic saying he wouldn't mind Messi or Neymar rocking up at the Olympic Stadium, it won't happen, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't mind it does it?
Michail Antonio seemed to be an expensive close of window purchase from Nottingham Forest at just under £8 Million, but he has proved to be one of the buys of the season, some pundits and many West Ham fans were of the opinion he should have been with the England squad for the Euro's, but that's another story. Whatever the opinion, Antonio is worth a good deal more than the sort of money Middlesborough were 'rumoured' to be talking about, in the inflated market about to be further fuelled by the massive increase in TV revenue his value would be in the £15-20 Million region.
Hammers will be one of those clubs looking to pick up a good deal from the relegated clubs, one player in particular is Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tiote who Billic is quite keen on, if he did sign can you imagine the confusion for commentators when Cheik Kouyaté passes the ball to Cheick Tiote? - Ed

Fixture Pile Up That Liverpool & Chelsea Would Love To Be In
Manchester United's narrow Emirates FA Cup victory in extra time over Crystal Palace has opened the door for West Ham United to enter the Europa League, thus ensuring some kind of European football for the inaugural season at the Olympic Stadium. Hammers will enter the Europa League at the same stage as they were knocked out this season, victory over Stoke City on the last day of the season would have meant going straight in to the group stage, instead of having to play in the third qualifying round. The third qualifying round legs are scheduled to take place on 28th of July and 4th of August, however Serie A champions Juventus are scheduled, at considerable cost to West Ham, for the Olympic Stadium’s curtain raiser on Sunday 7th of August. Matters are further complicated by the fact that should Slaven Bilic’s side be drawn at home for the first Euro qualifier leg, a difficult situation could arise, Hammers anchor tenancy officially begins on the 1st of August, UK Athletics has events scheduled between the 22nd to the 24th of July, and since the stadium takes seven days to set up as a football ground there would not be enough time for a home first leg tie. The draw for the third qualifying round takes place on the 15th of July and the club would have less than two weeks to come up with a positive solution to the problem, one option would be to ask uefa to allow the first leg to be played away irrespective of the draw, this would require the co-operation not only of a group of eurocrats, but also the permission of which ever club Hammers are drawn against. There is the spectre of having to play the home tie at an alternative UK venue, which apart from being logistically a nightmare would greatly inconvenience supporters from all sides. Hopefully common sense will prevail and moving the tie, if necessary bearing in mind the draw hasn't happened yet, doesn't become a major issue.However, let's be honest, these problems are the sort of problems fans want to be talking about and debating in pubs, clubs and on forums, there are many fans of 'leading clubs' such as Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC who would dearly love to be in Europe next season, even if it does mean starting in the third qualifying stage, after all, you have to be in it to win it! So after all, it will be the Hammers who will be experiencing European Knights, you can follow the odds via a reliable partner of ours (we vet them very carefully, hence no adsense links or pop unders or overs) who have not been hoisted on us by google!

So we are in the Europa league next season, as Man Utd won the f.a cup. We deserve to be there despite the way we eventually qualified. We also need it to attract better players, maybe lacazette is waiting to see if we qualified! Anyway did anyone see the game? 2 hours of football 3 minutes of highlights! Hard to watch as we needed Man U to win but I don't want them to win anything. Jesus the thing that struck we as the most shocking was how bad smalling is! An England regular and he was dire, embarrassing that he is probably regarded as an England mainstay. Looked totally out of his depth when under pressure.
So we get European Football

and Mourinho is the new Manure manager (Ibra will go to Manchester ...). But Clattenburg was still awful. Some things never change. I feel sorry for Palace and although I like the fact that we'll be in the European competition, I still hate seeing Rooney holding the cup.

Transfers and rumours
Forums:
If like me you hear a lot of rumours but feel you can't believe most of them or indeed just want to tell us put them on here. It's the start of silly season and I feel frustrated you just hear made up stories we can't believe. So now I'm hoping to record them here and see who is the most accurate, and who just talks sh1t and even who just uses a scatter gun approach just to land the odd lucky guess. So here goes, record the rumour, where you heard it first and the date. And even time Then I will sort the list and see who we can trust most often. So if you hear it on the TV. Radio, newspaper, Internet or indeed just an in the know source, let's us know starting today. I'm only interested in the first people to break the rumours from this day as they then All jump on the band wagon.
