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.

Hello everyone,
I've been off this forum for a few years now. I guess a wife and 2 kids has something to do with that! I recognise some of the names online here, therefore great to see the org still going strong!
It's been an incredible season under Super Slav and quite honestly, we can even be a little deflated at not reaching Wembley and failing to finish top 6. I use that word loosely because this season as a whole was FAR from a failure. In many ways, I actually think finishing 7th is the perfect platform for moving into the Olympic Stadium - we wil learn from the dropped points near the end and will have gained so much from the "taste of success" this season. Nearly got champions league and nearly got to wembley. Some of the football played was a pleasure to watch and quite rightly, Upton Park had a fitting finale. With a few clever signings and keeping the core, we will be even stronger next season.
Question for the editor (Nev?): How can I access all my past entries in the org? I have a catalogue of passionate entries from a few years ago. Do you have them stored on the site because I remember a few years ago, we were able to access this?
Looking forward to hearing from you (and all my fellow die hard Hammers out there)

Time to ged rid , never the same since coming back from injury ,in fact we badly need a couple of strikers ,m&m never lived up to expectations ,and Carroll burns hot and cold ,Benteki ??? 27 million ,not for me ,that long balls in to the big bulldozer in the middle game is all but finnished

Great news Liverpool lose in Europa cup, always good to hear even on its own but if we qualify next season players would rather be with us than them. Made my day as they haven't deserved to win anything this season.

This man has posted on his Twitter account, apparently that he is working on the lacazette deal to whu. Also says deals are agreed with both lacazette AND benteke with West Ham just a few minor details to iron out. Like I say no idea who he is or if it's true, but interesting and opens the door to far more questions if it is true.

well its finally happened my days of seeing west ham playing at home are over and its the armchair for me from now on:-( a tough decision but as many may no because of work a season ticket for me was pointless and now the academy membership becoming the claret membership well I will not be taking that up as for the few tickets available on a match day and already reading about people problems with the new ticketing service I honestly cant be bothered...hopefully i'll catch an away game but who knows.

A lot of the guys in my pub were saying it was west ham come back to finish the job .lol

We had beat Swansea and Stoke. Two teams that have had fair seasons and in Swansea's case a pretty good end. It's a shame we couldn't see the season out, and we could've still made top four with three games to go, but we almost focused too much on the Man Utd game IMO. I think that emotionally and physically challenge of that night, meant it was almost inevitable we wouldn't be able to perform for 90 mins at Stoke. I have to say though that for the first 45 mins I thought we looked like a top team. We still need that 20+ goal a season striker, but everybody wants one.

All week people on here have been pushing for Antonio to play up top with Tomkins in at RB. Well that didn't work very well. I have real doubts over Tomkins. He turns his back far too much for me, he did it on Saturday and did it against Man U in the replay. I think that he has to be braver to be a top defender in the Prem. Antonio and Sakho on the right side works well, whether we start looking at 3 at the back and wing backs for next season, that may be the answer. Conte I know likes 3 at the back so it will be interesting to see if that pans out.

I think that Bilic would have learnt a lot from this season, next year will be harder for us, Leicester and Southampton. We will be expected to win more games and teams will set out to cancel us out. I hope we add some world class players to the squad. There are a few of the relegated players that I'd like too. Redmond or Townsend, I like them both, they would both suit the way we play and can cut in and score goals. I do feel though that we will win something soon. I just get the feeling that the manager and the owners are so aligned with the fans and we are starting to get what we want from our team. I can forgive the performance against Swansea and the second half against Stoke, because I don't think we are at a level where we deserve to beat anyone. I read posts on here all week, criticising the manager for selections. I cringed at a couple, and wandered what a Newcastle or Villa fan looking in would think of us. we have to remember where we started from this season. I place of fear and dread. We beat Arsenal away then lost to Leicester and Bournemouth and it was all doom and gloom again. We must hold our nerve a bit, I think this season has taught us that.

My biggest fear for next season will be the football tourists. Those popping in to have a look for a year or two and not adding anything to the party. I'm hoping the extra 20,000 season tickets we've sold are all Hammers that have been goaded out of their armchairs, I'm hoping that the 35,000 fans we currently have sing like they did on Tuesday. If we can make the OS into a fortress and keep that intimidating atmosphere, with these owners, manager and improving squad, we could be a great club.

Its official - with the announcement of the latest provisional England squad set to go to the Euro's, it may come as absolutely no surprise whatsoever to see that not a single West Ham player features in the squad. The selection process has become such a joke, it bears more semblance to the Eurovision song contest than the European Cup - only with West Ham exiled to the 'nil pois' territory that England normally face amongst the slew of pithy Eastern-bloc pop muzak that takes the spoils. The whole appearance of Hodgson at our final game at the Boleyn gave me a faint glimmer of hope he was there to scrutinize the likes of Cresswell, Noble or even big Andy Carroll - but now its clear the real reason he was there was to see Rashford. Yes, Rashford a one season wonder who to be fair, possesses a lot of talent and could well prove to be a good future player for England, but is a massive gamble. Not one to shake things up too much though, expect to see Roy's favourite Tiny Tim Wilshere make the bench - where he has been prolific this season, still nursing an injury that he probably wont have recovered from by the time of the tournament, along with the usual 'boring' James Milner et all. We fans have all been harping on for long enough about the overlooking of our players for national selection - but you only have to go on the BBC website where the squad list has been announced to see the many comments from other supporters who are as incredulous as we are to see the omission of our standout players to know what the claret and blue specs might be slightly tinted but they still give 20-20 vision. The most criminally overlooked player for me though is Antonio. How can you take a chance with Rashford amd not do the same with Antonio? He has been the best English winger in the country this season. I will be watching the Euros of course and supporting England but I hope this is Roy's last competition.

Personally I don't believe much that's said on social media but rumours has it that Payet didn't travel with the team and is out of tomorrow's match.
