Re: West Ham Utd v Bayer Leverkusen: match thread (2nd leg)

All I wanted was for us to give it a go, if we got an early goal then we had a chance. We did exactly that but I couldn't help but feel even more dejected at the end. We were so good in the first half and they were really on the ropes. If we scored a second........

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Deciding to keep a manager on or not down to one game (If we went through last night I imagine Moyes would have stayed) two years in a row is no way to run a football club

I mean I know elite level sports are down to fine margins but this is taking it to the next level

Re: West Ham Utd v Bayer Leverkusen: match thread (2nd leg)

I feel very despondent and deflated about Thursday's upcoming game. But we need a Ipswich play off semi final type atmosphere to stand a chance (Although of course we could never generate such an atmosphere at the bowl)

Re: Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham Utd Europa QF 1st leg match thread

Arguable the best team in Europe. We would have had a much better chance against one of the 'big' names like AC Milan, Roma, even Liverpool.

Our chances of winning are very low. But if we manage to score early we'll have a game on our hands and a punchers chance

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

The whole thing is a joke, we have to play these silly games every budget where we pretend tax cuts are funded by future rises in stuff like fuel duty which then never happen. Or in recent years by increasing the number of immigrants. It's just a complete nonsense. Issue is now that the Truss debacl...

It's just beyond belief that a conservative government issued 1.4 million visas last year - and only less than 25% of those for work visas (Mostly care workers who then switch occupation)

It's a scandal

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

Boris certainly has charisma, it's hard to see how he could do any worse than Sunak but then we don't know what other scandals would have happened in the year since if he stayed on.
