Re: Declan Rice

Dec has given us 6 great years he has captained a team that won our first trophy in 43 years I am gutted that he is leaving but in all honesty if he we goes to Le Arse I would be gutted because they will not be the platform he deserves, If he goes to City he will win things and compete at the highes...

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd vs Manchester City: match thread

I really enjoyed today yes a bit gutting to lose a two goal goal lead but look at the quality of the opposition, Fabs penalty save and European qualification with an emotional farewell to Mark topped it off. How often have we beaten Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham in a season a fantastic season tha...

Re: ⚽ West Ham United vs Arsenal: match thread

We are three points behind Man Utd with a game in hand so need to try and get something from this if we are to qualify for Europe next season which would be huge for the club and may enable us to keep Declan. Yes it is possible we get through against Frankfurt but do so apparently we will have to do...

Fans really need to give it some enthusiasm to get us over the line in this one.

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Manchester Utd: match thread

I thought the decision to bring on Noble for the pen was terrible (cannot remember the last time someone did this other than the Euros and we know how that ended) and undermined Dec who I assume is now the designated taker, however having just got in and seeing when Ronaldo was taken out by Zouma fo...

Last year after breezing through life (although I have always been someone who worries) in the space of 3 three months had a double hernia and as a result it was discovered I may have prostate cancer and hit sixty. At first I sort of co...
