When's the open top bus coming to pick you up?


Spurs fine away record was always going to go at some point. It's a little disappointing but with The Scum losing as well... every cloud. Hopefully, we'll press on from this minor setback starting with that lot down the road on Saturday. Bring it on.

Fook me, you beat us one-nil and you celebrate like you've won the Champions League. The fixture might be the biggest game of the season for West Ham fans but it don't mean much to us. Our big one is on Saturday against the Gooners. Anyway, stuffed you 4-1 at the Lane.


Good luck in the FA Cup. Away to Man Utd isn't it? Play like you did in the first last night and you could be in with a chance.

Great atmosphere last night, would have given away my kids to have been there. Mind, I'd give 'em both away for a 2 for 1 at KFC but that's another story.


What I really loved was seeing Bilic and Mo Po having a chat whilst in their technical areas like a couple of enthusiasts rather than the histrionics and bullshit of Mourinho et al, refreshing. Not saying they aren't capable of that but under that pressure was notable.


Great season for us, better season for football in general.

He was terrific at Ipswich. I've always felt he was too big though. Carrying too much timber on him. But recently he looks like he's lost a bit of weight thus making him fitter, sharper and faster. He's still very young. Has a lot of talent. He can go a long way if he knuckles down he could make as big an impact as Harry Kane has these last two seasons. Maybe Palace signing The Wage Thief has made him buck his ideas up a bit.

Show me one prediction that this would be a disaster Quids? I think the lack of oxygen from being in these dizzy heights is affecting your memory.

Why don't you just admit you,re wrong eh? How's your boring manager going got you up to 5th you sure you want to risk a change careful what you wish for eh blah, blah, blah. All of us Hammers on here called it right because it was obvious, whilst you lot patronised us with a load of cliches.
So the big change as you perceive it is you now have a better manager (one who was sacked from his last two jobs), and better players. Whose arguing with that? It's debateable what SA might have done but he fulfilled his role. Got you up and kept you up unlike many promoted teams. You seem to use the most cliches though I haven't bothered counting them.

Jeez doc you can't let it lie can you? Your love affair with BFS continues and black is white and up is down... I mean really.


I understand tho.


It must be difficult being a Manc red right now. A miserable last few seasons and all you can ever hope for (and pray hard for) is a return to something you once had. We are dreaming of something we've never had and even if those dreams fade we are enjoying the ride again and watching football with big grins on our gobs.


Cheer up. Jose's on his way. :)

That post of mine you've quoted is clearly a tongue in cheek reference to you continually banging on with your ''careful what you wish for'' schtick. It's a shame you can't throw it back in the context it was originally said. Here's a reminder of what I wrote on the subject a couple of months ago...


When WH fans were calling for BFS to be sacked this time 3 years ago, I said BFS was the type the manager any club would want if they were in a relegation scrap. I said WH should keep him and then keep him for another season just to get a bit of stability at the club and established in the league, i.e. take a pragmatic approach for a couple of years as you'd just been promoted. If they then wanted to sack him and get a new, more attack minded manager, fine, go for it, the new manager will have 2 years to bed a new team in, before the move to the OS.

WH fans at the time were saying that they would rather the club were relegated playing attractive football, and I said that there are plenty of clubs who have been relegated from the PL and have never been promoted back, which was a big risk with the move to the OS in mind. That's when I said ''careful what you wish for''. So, as we don't live in a parallel universe where BFS was sacked and WH relegated, we'll never know what might have happened. But what we do know is that keeping BFS at the time wasn't a mistake, so no words being eaten here...


It's West Ham fans on here that won't admit they were wrong when they called for BFS to be sacked when you were flirting with relegation. You didn't call it right. Those of us who said he should stay at the time were proved right. Without BFS getting you promoted at the first attempt, and keeping you in the PL, there would be no Bilic, there would be no Payet. Do you seriously think either of them would've rocked up at the Boleyn if you were languishing in the Championship? Only 1 in 5 clubs relegated from the PL bounce back up. There are plenty of clubs, with just as big a stature and history as WH, who can't get out. That's what WH fans had to be ''careful what they wished for'', nothing to do with Bilic et al...

Au contraire, What RD wrote made sense. Wise man says when you are blind you can't see. Hope SA keeps Sunderland up. Regardless of his personality which it seems to me is how he is being judged, he's good at what he does, as limited as some might see it. Leeds, Forest, Wednesday, Derby, Ipswich etc would love to be in the PL.

Well of course it would to you - by the same logic if ManU's form this season had been even poorer than it has been and they 'flirted with relegation' also - and if they then stayed up - the fans would have LVG to thank for their salvation.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
