"They were quite shocked - after all, she's not exactly your typical West Ham fan."


Well, I don't think anyone can argue with that.

We were on the balance of play better than a at best very average palace side in the first half and crap in the 2nd. I am getting to the stage where I wish nothing but Ill will to the walrus faced w*nker. Our players look either sh1t, or very p1ssed off with the way we are playing. Get the fat fooker out and we look nailed on relegation material with that sort of 'slightly unlucky' unconfident performance.of which I,ve seen to many of in too many relegation seasons, nailed on relegation battle for us. BFS out you tosser.

Don't you mean "Where were all the jubilant messages hailing the victory against Fulham"? Oh yes, that's right.. there weren't any. Because we all knew it was the victory of a lame man against a one legged man in an arse kicking contest. And apart from the opening game against Cardiff and a win over Totteringham it's been ALL bloody misery.


BFS is like the tosser at work who no one can get rid of because no matter how much and how often he fucks up he always manages to do just enough to keep the bosses onside.


I don't care about the losing and, like 'bout now, would happily accept relegation if it meant that clueless tw&t was fired and we got someone in who wanted to play football.


We're not all glory hunters RD.

And I admit to a sense of humour failure but - that win wasn't a much-needed fillip was it?


It wasn't a blip in the greyness of our season so far and thus a reason to suspend the 'whining'. Far more frustrating.


The cowin' win over Fulham was the grit in the egg mayonnaise sandwich that is our season. It IS the drawing pin on the bathroom floor of our future. It WAS, in its way, more miserable than the subsequent and inevitable loss. Like a twitching corpse that convinces a med student it might still be alive.


Because it meant BFS stayed.


So where was I after that game? Gnashing my teeth and cursing Martin Jol.


and glory hunting...?


Would I rather WH won enough games 1.0 Sam's way and stayed up or went down and got someone in who plays football however long it takes? - the latter, always.


Obviously I'd prefer to have my cake and eat it (football AND winning) but BFS's way is never going to pan out long term.

On a lighter note; BFS is looking to change things up from the "wide-men-crossing-the-ball-for-a-big-strong-target-man" he designed for Carroll and attempts to use with Cole©.


He's looking at Kenwyne Jones.


No pace. No ball skills. But big, strong, good in the air, a real target man.


Plus ca flippin change... eh?

Would WH fans have Defoe back? He needs to play and might be an option. From what I read Nolan is not playing as he did last season and he was very influental and scored goals. I do think you Hammers fans protest too much about BFS. He got you promoted and his main aim is to keep you in the division.When you make some money and can buy better players get a better manager if you can. The jobspan of a football manager is not very long on average due to unreasonable expectations in some cases.BFS has done ok.I don't understand the hatred of him.

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
