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.

      Stephen Viccary - Bathroom installation

      By Ergo_mark · Posted

      Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145

      Dulwich Eco Gardening - Professional Landscape Gardening / Design

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
