now the new season has begun in earnest here is the new current season link
All these years i have been trying different diets how stupid was i if only i had realised the Andrex Pasta Rice Diet it seems very popular in my part of the world:-)...of course i would like to point out to others(millenials mainly)that Pasta from Italy and Rice from China mmmmm i wonder what links those two foodstuffs!
Yeah it was fun seeing the spuds implode knowing yet again this BIG club lol will win nothing yet again something we hammers fans new all along...but odbod going into the crowd to have a go at a "fan" for apparently insulting him was even more amusing because his younger brother had heard it and got upset.....so what should his punishment be? i thought wearing that shirt and playing in the toilet bowl was punishment enough!! whilst very amusing how far do you go when having a go at your own players? not talking about venting on the keyboard like here but at the stadium?...i was in the stand when Repka got hold of one of our fans cannot rmbr the punishment if any he got for that but how much could you take before snapping like odbod did...general stuff like you are "rubbish/sh*t/fat/Wan**r" etc i expect for a footballer is water off a ducks back but if its something more personal i am surprised more footballers don't go into the crowd.
discuss.
Our fans, with the help of the Kopites, will stage a protest against the club's owners tonight. So guess what the board have done – reduced the allocation to 1,800 from the usual 3000, the first fixture this season for which the club have not asked for their full allocation. Which is nonsense, just our legion of Northern Hammers could have taken that many!
Why you ask are thety doing this? Scared of the repercussions of the protest tonight perhaps?
Our fans will release black balloons and organisers have asked those bringing them to ensure they are biodegradable…. :o) Love it!
So, on the night that West Ham's players will wear T-shirts in the warm-up paying tribute to Bobby Moore, 27 years to the day since he died, our fans will be showing just what they think of the unholy trinity! Good luck to them and lets see what unfolds tonight but also on Saturday… Come on you Irons!!!
Talking with a good mate and fellow west ham fan last night both older than we care to admit but when he said staying in the prem was more important than winning a cup i was stunned....yes we all know the argument going on about how the big clubs view the cups as an irritant and of little importance but hearing my friend basically say the same actually left me cold and wondering what is the point of supporting a club if there only reason for being was not winning anything but just staying in a league which they have very very little chance of ever winning....how pointless is that? winning a Trophy is what footballs about not just staying in a league.....times change but truthfully how could you be interested in sport if you never try to win anything in case it means you could drop out of the prem.....so do you agree with his P.O.V? or do you want to win something
you know the ones where you look for other results down the bottom and hope things have gone well and Today its not gone that bad at all so considering its the bindippers next we will not be that far behind come monday nights result and then hopefully we can concentrate on easier fixtures...spuds and chelski did not look to daunting and points to be had in those games we need to beat watford villa and norwich and burnley then who knows COYI put belief back in our hearts
Well, two massive games coming up and probably zero chance of any points. Tomorrow night brings back shocking memories for me, the league cup semi-final, the camera’s focused on our supporters, commentator saying “they don’t look happy and it’s a long drive home on the M6” at which my phone lights up with many texts saying you’ve been on telly, cheer up you miserable old XXXX :o)
I have been to the Etihad five times and each time its been well…difficult. Last season we were battered even if the score line didn’t reflect the nature of the one way traffic. By the way, what happened to the young full back that made his debut that night?
So with two fixtures on the horizon with no points, firmly in the bottom three, confidence at a low what are the real chances of escape? I really fear that this will be the season we finally drop into the Chumps. I think Saturday is significant, nothing but a win against Saints will suffice. A heavy loss combined with the Hammers United protest on the same day will be a defining moment for our club and maybe the owners?
Having this discussion with friends and the usual about size closeness to pitch atmosphere and of course style of stadium and if you could choose a ground to have a game on would which one....this of course threw up the usual the old Boleyn as was expected but this guy from Norway who heard us talking said you can have all the great stadiums in the world and you can keep them because for him this ground in Norway just takes your breath away and after seeing it i admit i would like go see it for real and have a kick about on it.....any others you know of come close?
Nolans back so does that put you "in the mood for dancing":-) will our lot improve now he is there to kick our lazy players arses? who knows but at least its after christmas because we all know how Kev liked the holidays off!
Ok Ok i know he is not every ones cup of tea and the club are still struggling and have dropped into the bottom three but although he does not play a style of football i like i cannot and will not hold him responsible for all the ills that trouble our club......For me its the players who need to bear the brunt of our frustration at performances on the pitch....yes Moyes trains the players and puts out the game plan and yes while his safety first approach cost us the win saturday the players can have no excuse for failing week in week out for poor performance after poor performance and not wanting or being able to implement the managers game plan whoever is at the helm.....they have a lifestyle we can only dream of and the very mercenary nature of the sport means that why should you care if the club you are currently playing for get relegated because your agent has already lined up a move elsewhere regardless so no need to put your body on the line or kill yourself running for a ball and not going in for a tackle that could cause injury and put your next move in jeopardy....Kevin Nolan joins the coaching staff today will he make a difference? well it cannot hurt and will help Moyes who eyes wide open new what a basket case this club is and being hamstrung with one scout and just two coaches how on earth is he expected to work miracles with those kind of resources....so while he has some responsibility for me it starts at the very top with the lazy way our club is run and that kind of attitude has sunk down to the players who apart from a few do not really care one way or another.
