Ah, that squares things up. You were very magnanimous about that . Thanks

Genuinely, bores who go around calling Pep a "fraud" just conspicuously out themselves as being as wilfully ignorant about football. I didn't hear anyone call Pep a 'fraud'. Did I miss something? I think you're being disingenuous too in thinking that any kind of disgruntlement over LMA Ma...

Ok, let me rephrase, strengthen in the positions we are weakest. Not getting someone who could come in for Rice or Soucek was the big blind spot. This doesn't make sense to me. They are not our weakest players, they are our strongest players, and they are precisely the players that it is hard to fi...

Just read the story and found the tweet itself. Context is everything. He was trying to call out a white mate trying to act like he was black, and used a hash-tag that might be used by one black person to another black person, probably even trying to be ironic with it. Kid was trying to be clever, b...

Elon Musk is one of the biggest ***** on the planet. Popping into this forum thread is like entering an alternate universe :lol: What on earth do you have against Elon Musk? The guy is one hell of an entrepreneur, on a total different scale of existence to GSB. He's disrupted multiple fields of bus...

One of only 9 players now to score 4 (or more) away from home in the Premier League.

Shame about Pellegrini - I wish him well. He definitely had his golden moments, but something has gone wrong somewhere to see that kind of slide in confidence - most likely starting with the Roberto situation. He was a poor choice after Fabianski got injured and that started the slide. It starts at ...

Exactly :lol:

Our domination was something I haven't seen in any West Ham game ... ever. I might just watch that game again

One swallow doesn't make a spring. It took them eight years to find the right manager ? This is really the single biggest issue that addresses all the problems of the last few seasons. Is it really a surprise that it has taken 8 years? We had Avram Grant, who had attracted the attentions of English...

It makes sense for the new manager to assess the current squad before deciding who to sell. For those that didn't reach their potential before, they might yet come good under Pelle. Also, getting a manager or even players isn't like shopping in a supermarket where you have 20 items in stock and you ...

Well done to the owners for standing by their commitment to invest heavily, back the new manager, and let him build his own squad with the help of a DoF he also picked - credit where it's due.

Now to stand back and hear the echo

they had their chance to prove that they had honest intentions about taking West Ham to a new level and did diddly squat. Do you think some of it is down to who is available, by way of managers and players? Seems to me that we haven't had the calibre of manager available that would attract better p...

Kind of was the point to show we can all dismiss others viewpoints by questioning their intelligence in a convoluted manner....but you must have missed that Chip on the shoulder there Hadleigh? Last time I checked, smart people can be just as cynical as the rest, and a damn sight more clever at jus...

No, no Doc, was in my first post this morning. Said with irony, I like your quote.

Your premise and organising concept is BS and is designed to elevate your position and cast others as irrational. It clearly is and it is there for all to read. Well, I might take your point more seriously if you could actually paraphrase my comment or even acknowledge a very clear clarification of...

And yet you suggest that those who are anti-board and don't see this appointment as some amazing turning point are somehow a product of an age of infantilism on social media. You assume their position can only be a product of psychology and not a rational decision. No, you did not read my post care...
