Re: Losing your Dad

Anyone who’s been through this’ advice greatly appreciated. We all deal with devastating loss in our own way I guess Nc, but I took comfort from reminiscing about things we did together and going back to some of the places involved. (FWIW I'm talking the local park, rather than the Caribbean!) One ...

Re: Nottingham Forest v West Ham Utd - match thread

Given the amount of eye-rolling caused by West Ham's collective ineptitude today, I think I spent more time looking at this than the pitch.

Re: Nottingham Forest v West Ham Utd - match thread

Fair play to the Forest fans today - they had great fun at our expense. A chorus of "say hello to Millwall" was followed by "One song, you've only got one song." West Ham fans respond with the "Ludo" ditty. "Two songs, you've only got two songs," Forest retort...

Re: ✍️ Welcome to West Ham Utd Julen Lopetegui.

Three wins in the League out of ten, two of which were spawny and could quite easily have gone the other way. He appears to have little idea of his best starting XI - and pretty much each and every one he's picked so far has required adjusting due to shortcomings. His substitutions are often left fi...

Re: Nottingham Forest v West Ham Utd - match thread

And that's saying a lot coming from you, generally the last bastion of positivity. I'm sorry you and Rio had to sit through that. Our away fans didn't deserve that. Fairly shocking stuff, Pete. I've seen Grant's name mentioned in recent posts. I understand where those posters are coming from in lik...

Re: Nottingham Forest v West Ham Utd - match thread

On the train contemplating why I bothered turning up today - as the team didn't. Only highlight was bumping into Rio unexpectedly.

The less said about Lopetegui, probably the better for now.

Boleyn Castle

It's not often (if ever) that you see a picture of West Ham players and Green Street House - aka The Boleyn Castle - in the same picture. But here's Ted Fenton, Alfred Chalkley and probably Hugh Mills in a shot taken somewhere between 1932 and 1936, when all three were at the club. https://i.imgur.c...
