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.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
