Calm down dear, you are such a sensitive soul.

I posted on this originally because (maybe slightly naively) I was a bit surprised that they would base this part of the operation in London and the overall size of the operation - overheads on rent, rates and salary alone are of the order of ?3.5m (plus). Scary what goes on in the background of a football club.

....two elephants walk off a cliff......



Personally for me, I'd be quite annoyed with my club if they did that. Irrespective of your locality, football clubs should be local institutions providing jobs etc, for those in the surrounding area. I know that when Liverpool were looking at the new stadium a big fuss was made when it was mentioned that the builders would be from a company that wasn't local. I know it's not exactly the same, but being a traditionalist when it comes to these things, I just think it's a shame.

Most West Ham fans are ambivalent too to be fair. I'm not sure what to think. May have a better idea after a day at the olympics I guess.

Still, be nice to be rid of those awful plastic hammers on the side of the west stand. How, ...just...who...how...?!?

I'd have Stevie G tomorrow, top player.

Great news for Palace if West Ham win as they should be able to move into the NSC at Crystal Palace Park. I wonder what guarantees will be put in to ensure West Ham don't tear the track up after a couple of years and what access local kids will get to the stadium. I aslo think that West Ham should be forced to to give money to Leyton Orient over a long period, as long as the money is used for community projects and not just given to Hearn.


Oh good to see all the comments on the England game by the way, all big fans are we? Missed the gamem myself but heard Wilshire played well.

To be honest, I can't see the point of a meaningless freindly 3 days before prem games and a week before Champs league games. If players get injured in these daft games, the club and the fans suffer. But yeah Wilshere had a good 45 minutes.

I watched it. Pluses for the England's were of course the boy Wilshire. I thought Scott Parker and Ashley Young were very good in the second half too.


Glad West Ham won their bid. It's important to stay in your own manor and though new stadium that Tottenham plan to build will now cost us an extra ?200 million at least (hopefully) it will still be in the same area around White Hart Lane and the Tottenham High Road.

Nicely summed up by:

"But the England manager now has some difficult choices to make before the next competitive match as to what excuses he trots out for picking the same players.


Rumours from inside the England camp suggest he will drop Wilshere due to the blue bits in his aura and retain Gerrard because legend tells that the Liverpool midfielder can pull the mighty Excalibur from the stone whence it came."



see also Parker etc.

To be honest he'll be 31 this year and I think that doesn't appeal to Wegner, usually anyone over 30 gets shown the door or gets a year by year extension. He was a decent player at Charlton, toilet at Chelsea, regained some of his reputation at the Toon and has enhanced it at west Ham. I fear his time at the top is limited. Shame.

Karen Brady's slightly weird letter from the future as West Ham host their first game at the Olympic stadium - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/sunsport_columnists/3402516/Karren-Brady-reveals-her-vision-of-West-Hams-future-at-the-Olympic-Stadium.html - that running track must be behind someone's head.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
