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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
