Re: ✍ Welcome, Kalvin Phillips

same applies to JWP who is so poor and offers nothing. Seriously? Oddly, you do actually go and watch the same games that i do, and thats a genuine thought out opinion Sorry i know that he, like the rest of the team, took a proper dip but really??? What about "Paqman" ( known to most peop...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Moyes Paradox !!! Perfectly put. Woody Allen also had it nailed when he wrote this in one of his movies about two old girls moaning about the resort while on holiday in the Catskill's. 1st Lady - "The food here is terrible!" 2nd Lady - "Yes, and such small portions!" Lady 1 and ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

The problem/question really is, especially now, where 70 - 80% of the final table of the upper-tier in the PL is decided by the annual budget of the clubs, why should we change a (for us) working formular. As long as there is no major investment coming in. Its the Moyes paradox i have referred to. ...

If Moyes carries on his fine work they'll soon disappear.
Its needless polarity. The Moyes thread and last summers transfer thread really make me doubt our support is quite the way we imagine it in our heads

It is bonkers isn't it? I doubt he is an actual Neo-nazi who goes round goose stepping in every day life, and doing it purely as a way if goading the opposition fans. But surely he must have some realisation that any normal person would take offence and he woild be riling nearly every west ham fan ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

My problem with last night is why was Zouma starting? As far as I know Aguerd isn't injured. For me he's becoming a liability. His lack of pace and ability to react is costing us. I get that Moyes made him captain, but for what you gain in attacking/defending arial ability, is negated by his lack o...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

We get those despite Sullivan, there's the difference. The very recent collapse in form can be put at his feet in my opinion, simply because of the Jan transfer window If there was ever any doubt about his intentions with the club, it should now be as clear as a Summers day. Everything is about sta...

this thread appears to have morphed in to a holistic overview of the entire club. Thats something different to the issue right in front of us. Firstly, in case this appears to have one shred of doubt in any experts head, i cannot stand Sullivan and everything that surrounds him. Worryingly, i feel h...

Re: To Clap The Players Or Not, That Is The Question

For me personally, and maybe it’s because I am older and have a long football cultural take on this, but you never ever boo your own team and the end of a match. This was it what I learnt when I first starting going to Upton Park back in 1970, and I’m not about to change these principles, but I do ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

FWIW, i always wondered why we as a fan base are accused of turning toxic, but the last few years have displayed it in glorious technicolour. For balance, Moyes has always shown great dignity in how he's managed the media etc and comes across as a decent bloke. I cannot stand to watch our football r...
