Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

That's because its a rented bowl and there's no provision to pay to play West Ham Women's Team there.

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

Just got home and not seen the replay yet. But it took 6-8 minutes for the last goal to be ruled out, so how can it be clear and obvious ? If that was in front of the Kop, it would be given, there's a lot of psychology going into this and the refs are not strong enough to stick by what they see. The...

Pretty sure I can hear the Arsenal fans singing "Ten more years, ten more years, Declan Rice........" ?

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Going to be hilarious if Sully lets Moyesiah go in favour of Steidten. Then Steidten picks manager. Then the undermining starts & Sully stops signing the cheques & there's a right royal meltdown. We no more in Europe manager leaves Tim leaves & we become relegation fodder & our best ...

Really nice to see him smiling happy playing on front foot.

Same for Fornals. Good on them both.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Good to see the tide stemmed and we get our 1st win of the year on the board. Brentford were better than relegation candidates and they are a bogey Team for us, so all good. Winning a European Trophy and being in Top 10 for the last seasons under Moyes is extremely successful. We have not won a trop...

Re: January window 2024 - explanation from the club required??

Exactly, its a captured market for Sully. Like we can go elsewhere.

The man has to go and he can't go with the windfall he wants, the taxpayer built the Stadium and things may change with a change of Government.

Re: January window 2024 - explanation from the club required??

Yes its very much standard fare from the dwarf. The "Customers" have paid to the end of the season, Premier League next year is guaranteed, Europe is a distraction, need to get some cash to the next manager. Or to Moyes if he stays in the summer. If I sell there's more in the bank. Did it ...

Re: Tim Steidten - How should we assess his contribution?

Re: 👋 Farewell, Pablo Fornals

Saw some of the game, saw close up of Pablo, definitely saw him smile and not seen that in a long, long time.

I am very happy for Pablo as he bought us a lot of joy in his time with us, he got us, he did anything he was told for us, he will always be part of us.

Re: Tim Steidten - How should we assess his contribution?

Sully could not give a hoot about Cups, honours or prestige. 7th-17th every season without fail. Now we are 8th unlikely to go down, job done. Close the shutters, wait till the summer. The value of the Club is the Premier League position. I could even suggest its really annoying for Sully to go deep...

Re: Tim Steidten - How should we assess his contribution?

Totally no surprise to me to see the squad thinned in January. Sully has regular form for this, we were 4th was it 13/14 & 15/16 and both times he did not spend, but got us Emineke and the rest is History. £ 23m in the bank for the summer and who knows what's going to happen then. New manager or...

Re: Sheffield Utd v West Ham Utd - Match Thread

I think psychology came into the match yesterday. The ref & VaR bottled the foul on Bowen. Did not even look at it. If they ask the ref to look at monitor he's kind of compelled to give foul by virtue of being asked. If penalty was given to us that crowd would turned toxic. Dangerous for s ref t...

He’s literally our most successful ever when you look at his win rate, our run in Europe etc Without doubt and I'm actually scared if Sully don't renew him, like who on Earth will work with Sully, the undermining, throwing under the bus, "sorry we did try our best to get your player A, B, C bu...

Nolan was on BBC Radio 5 live last night, said he did not go to Bristol City, he was ill. But he was at West Ham the Wednesday. ok, if he was ill just the 1 day, he didn't say if he was ill the Monday, but he was ok the Wednesday, does strike me that they were not taking it that seriously.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Inga is a Sully panic buy and not scored in 17 ? If you play him you are saying we don't score so you don't win. What the Moyesiah done makes complete sense.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

But Sullivan the Chairman, has backed Moyes to his first ever legitimate trophy, which in football terms is more than Kenwright ever did. I don't agree with this, Moyes won a European trophy despite the Board, not because of it. Sully would have been ****ing out about the impact a European campaign...

Re: Declan Rice

Well he went to Arsenal as Arteta was whispering sweet nothings in his ear about how the Team would be built around him and etc so I can get why he went there. Pushing forwards, scoring goals, accolades, bit of a Big Frank Mark 2. Its his 1st season, I'd expect some sort of realignment in the 2nd &a...

Kind of good news, he's been left ouf of the AfCon.

Kind of good as an extra player, not so good as he's not really on it at the moment & they say he maybe gone in January anyways.
