Re: Irn Bru - A true British great

Never been the same since they got rid of about 6 grams of sugar, fortunately you can get the 1901 bottles now which are the original recipe. For a hangover, I tend to take the lid off a bottle and leave it in the fridge overnight, tends to do the trick. https://fcdn.me/702/fa6/diet-irn-bru-i-never-...

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

It wasn't to be, but we had one hell of a crack at it last night. Those players gave absolutely everything, don't think you could fault one of them. I thought JWP was immense, the running that lad did was ridiculous. Not surprised so many of them were completely done come full time. You are not goin...

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

That first 45 minutes is the best we’ve ever pressed. It’s unfathomable that the bloke who sent them out tonight is the same bloke that takes Antonio off on 60 minutes to try and defend a 3-1 lead against Newcastle. It’s very frustrating. If he could send them out to play like that in even just 25%...

Not a chance it will be pulled. Selling very well, as shirts tend to do before a major tournament.

Re: The new kits thread

Joey Barton is having a meltdown about it. So on that basis alone it is the correct decision.

Both versions of the shirt have sold out apart from size Small. Home and Away.

I couldn't give a flying one either way. Just seems like a great opportunity for some people to get offended and other people to explain why it's wrong for them to get offended. The biggest issue for me is the second mortgage you'd need to take out if you were silly enough to buy it. Bang on, the s...

Think it is the same. Typical German away end, safe standing. Oddly, they'd bolted all the chairs shut though, so you couldn't sit on them.

Another German side, bit of a killer for those who went out in August.

Over two legs, I fancy us against most sides.

Quite, football and politics have been entwined since the beginning. That is never going to stop.

Wouldn't worry too much, by the time you get there the younger lot will be hanging over the top gesticulating at the home support shouting about world wars and suchlike. On a positive, it will free up their seats further back and you can dive in there. Not sure if posted, but a video doing the roun...

Re: UEFA Europa League 2023-24

Roma's Ultra group have said it was not them, but local thieves (which is why I imagine Crouchend Hammer made his earlier comment).

Not sure if still the case, but previously as long as you stabbed someone under waist height in Italy, you cannot be tried for murder if the worst was to happen.

But the question he asked was a valid one., How can we be called the academy of football ? Because like "the west ham way", it's self proclaimed. We had a golden generation in the late 90s, then had to wait until Rice for the next one. Give it another decade or so and we should have someo...

Remember when we qualified with Allardyce for fair play. Don't care how we qualify, it's an absolute dream for our club. Yep, confirmed after we drew 0-0 away to QPR. Think Adrian saved a penalty. It was a bloody awful game, but can remember a few bemused looks when people started singing about a &...
