Mick supported them last year or the yeat before EC

...but seriously, do you bite that easily?

[Emerson Crane]

No just think the fella is a plum, as for biting there so many on here that are champion biters.

[Jah Lush]

You've bitten off more than you can chew. Gotta say Mick Mac was asking for that though. Provocative to say the least.

[Mick Mac]

Just quoting a couple of well known phrases on the Arsenal. I used to stand in the old North Bank you know, before I realised my second club was bigger than my first club. Never looked back.

[Emerson Crane]

Thank god for that. Please stick with your second rate, sorry second club. Plum

Went way above their heads Mick Mac...hadn't got either Jah or Emerson down as Newbies but that they both failed to remember when Boring and Lucky were common epitahs for Arsenal is making me rethink...;-)

More than aware of these "epitahs", since I've followed the club since 68, unlike Tick Tac who changes allegiances to suit his mood. Proper plum. If I were to come out with the dross that he trots out, I'd be told to be less antagonistic and confrontational, he, on the other hand, is seen as a bit of a joker. The man is hilarious, just like his clubs exploits in the CMPL, ooops sorry, I forgot that they aren't in it any more. Now I promise to leave it, provided Victoria Plum drops it.

It certainly would.

I got it Quids. I support the enemy remember.

[Jah Lush]

Yup! Hilarious. I think we can all agree on that.

As it happens, and a rarity among West Ham fans, I've a reasonable amount of time for Lampard, he strikes me as petty bright for an English footballer, and apart from the horrible episode after 9/11, tends to act with decorum and dignity. He's given West Ham fans a fair bit of stick but has faced some pretty hideous abuse off them (including when he played for us - "daddy's boy" etc), his dad was unceremoniously sacked by the club with no notice was he ever going to want to carry on playing for us then?

Still praying Chelsea finish 5th or 6th ....even if Spuds get the spot,mmmm, maybe

Silver linings....DC.....Silver linings

[Emerson Crane]

The so called special one hasn't been beaten at home in 9 years but I sure I heard that Aris Salonika haven't lost at home for 40 years? Can't remember if that was just European games or all games. If thats right, that is some record!!

[Jah Lush]

Who the fuck are Aris Solonika though?

When Henrik rode into town and took your one chance of the big cup....

Aris boasts a remarkable statistic in European football; the club has not lost a home game in European competition in 42 years, having gone 25 games undefeated at the Kleanthis Vikelidis stadium. This record was notably maintained when Aris defeated Europa League champions Atletico Madrid on 16 September 2010, Aris' 22nd undefeated home game in Europe. The team then went on to tie Bayer Leverkusen to keep the record intact once more.

From wiki.

Mick, when you know full well that that is going to get a rise out of Emerson, what is the point, other than to antagonise?

PS. Larsson wasa great goal scorer, but having spent 7 years of his career at Celtic, I'm not so sure he can be remembered as one of the greats.

['bout now]

At last. It's good to know that I'm not the only one. Whatever Hammers fans say he was one of the best box to box players I've seen at Upton Park. His position wasn't really helped with sacking of his Father and of course his uncle.

But of all the clubs Abramovich had to pick, he picked them tossers.

[Jah Lush]

I wouldn't dispute that Frank Lampard isn't a good player because he is a very good player. What other midfielder gets 20 plus goals per-season? It's just that he plays for fecking Chelsea.

Keef - with more people like you on this forum, there would be no fun at all.

If you can dish it out you should be able to take it. My personal view is that anyone who can get annoyed about football banter needs to take a good look at themselves.

[mockney piers]

Nope, I always had time for Frank at Upton Park. I thought he was a consistent and talented performer for us for years and got very annoyed at the abuse he received from the fans, all that lumplard rubbish, it was so self defeating.

Both Franks were treated pretty shamefully ..err...frankly... so good luck to him. But yeah, the whole Chelsea badge kiss thing is pretty annoying...i mean...chelsea...
