Re: Ben Johnson
I'd quite like to see an attempt made to convert Ben into a like for like replacement for Antonio. He has the physique and the pace, plus years on his side. He can be taught how to run the channels, be an out-ball, and generally make a nuisance of himself up front. It won't matter initially if he do...

Re: UEFA Europa League 2023-24
Have to say - what a great feeling seeing the name West Ham United in that Quarter Final draw with all those famous European clubs.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
I wonder if those turkeys with the Moyes Out flags and banners have taken them along to the last 5 games and been waiting for a chance to show them. They must be gutted.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
Seriously, what are people watching ? What are they expecting ? This. I think a lot believe we are much better than we really are. If anything, we have over achieved under Moyes. But this has long been the case as we generally, on the whole, see through our claret & blue specs. How do others se...

Re: 2023 - One of the best in our history??
The calendar year of 1981 was pretty good. Indeed it was. Lost only 3 league games in the calendar year, won the 2nd division and reached the League Cup Final (& replay). Might have been a second division side up to May, but no one fancied coming to Upton Park under the lights. Plenty of first ...

I haven't looked this up, but the ground at Woolwich wasn't Dial Square was it? Great Question BTW.WestHamLyallStyle wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 10:39 am Yes mate. How the **** did you know that ? They tried to burn down all three grounds and in the case of Woolwich Arsenal @ Dial Square, they succeeded.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham Utd - Match Thread
For those asking why we can't/don't play like we did in the 2nd half for 90 mins - have a listen to Moyes in the post match presser. He says when you play a team like Spurs you can't open up too early otherwise they will pull you apart. He also praises his players who can play this way and have the ...

Re: The Boleyn Ground ~ East stand
I swore at the time it was the best place ever to watch a football match. Absolutely it was - especially for those of us below 6ft! Back in the old wooden stand my brother reckons you could see the game while having a piss! Migrated to the Chicken Run in the late 70's after being everywhere over th...

Touching moment in the 38th minute of last nights game. We stood for a minutes applause for young Dylan Tombides ("Didge"). Not sure everyone knew what was going on but it was nice to see those that did. Would have been special had the game been paused so everyone could have joined in, inc...

For those Kumbing over. Both games kick off at 6pm local time – which is 11am for you back home. It’s winter – so wrap up warm because the nights here can get pretty cold. Daytime will be lovely – expected to be sunny and 16-18C. Night time will be down to 4C, and it gets cold the moment the sun goe...

There are lots of differences to get used to over here that’s for sure. Sports Jerseys are called Guernseys. Stag nights are Bucks nights. Super means lots of things from pensions to petrol. Sweets are called lollies and they have some borderline brand names. Until recently there was a cheese named ...

Re: Declan Rice
The day after we won the ECL trophy, Sullivan put Rice in the shop window. He told the world the club was open to offers for him. The club is his employer. The club is telling him they will sell him to the best offer. This reminds me of something Rio wrote after his transfer to Leeds. He said the cl...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Let's not forget though - we left behind the most accessible football ground in Britain. Upton Park was within walking distance of three undergound stations, four overground stations plus had multiple bus routes passing by. For roads, it had ample street parking and as I might have mentioned once or...

Tin pot? Mickey Mouse? You’re kidding yourself. Only three Premier League teams get to lift a trophy this season – and West Ham are one of them. Let that sink in for a moment. Any competition that takes 53 games to win can never be described as tin pot in no way shape or form. It is pure ignorance t...

Re: 🏆 ACF Fiorentina vs West Ham Utd: match thread (UEFA Europa Conference League Final)
I thought overall it was a great team performance. You couldn't really pick out a star player though for me, probably Emerson was MOTM. He showed his experience when needed and becomes the first player to win all three major Euro trophies I understand. Just like the team that wins the World Cup, we ...
