There was a video of one of the bars (I think)or general areas being trashed

on YouTube - they were playing Swansea but chanting against Spurs :)

Bobby Moore was never knighted. It still rankles. A terrible omission for a world cup winning captain, a gentleman and West Ham's greatest ever player, an England all-time great. Our country's greatest captain. It bloody pisses me off. The FA should have looked after him better.

Never mind the FA, West Ham should have looked after him better. Their treatment of him was shameful and no amount of statues or stands or advertising slogans ("moore than a football club" still makes my skin crawl) can wash that away.

What's this about? I'd never hear about West Ham treating him badly :(

I can't remember the exact details of the story but he used to go to games complementary (or at least the stewards etc let him in) and one day a hugely embarrassed steward had to tell him during a gamethat he'd been told from on high he could no longer come in for free and had to leave - think it was when Cearns was chairman. Disgusting - and just one example - the club just ignored him. So I agree with Maxxi.Compare this with say Bobby Charlton's treatment at Manchester United.


I think and hope things would have been different nowadays from both the FA and West Ham if he was alive - I think a Knighthood would have been a given and I'm sure he'd have a major role at West Ham, if he'd accepted it.

Ha, I was greedy and had us for a 4-2 win!


Great night (bottle throwing knobs and keeper-confronting idiots aside) and I hear Cockney Rejects are setting up to play - wonder if Quids is with them?


I know it's only a game but I shall really miss that ground (even if my recent attendances weren't what they used to be) - it was a special place. But what a game to finish on. Classic.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
