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

Johnson is nowhere near Premier League level, way out of his depth.

Played an hour and trudged off after successfully completing less than 30% of his passes.

Liability.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Think you were trying to say that you despair at some of the posters on this site, as opposed to the actual site itself. :thup: and probably not even some of the posters, just some of the posts. It would be extremely weird if my position was that an internet forum should not be giving a platform fo...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Its not legit. The poster pondered “did he [Pellegrini] just say a better atmosphere at the LS than the Boleyn?” No, he clearly didn’t and he didn’t even imply as such. The manager is talking up the football club and praising the impact supporters have had in home games because they are focused on s...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Manager attempts to drum up a positive feeling and promote continued good atmosphere at home games ahead of a tough game.

West Ham supporter reaction is to slag him off on the morning of the game.

I despair at this site at times.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Do people generally think the carpet is a good thing? I ask because I have seen it mentioned on here, sometimes as a great thing. I just dont understand, what difference will it actually make to anything at all? I am suffering from the fear of missing something so be gentle. Bilic wanted it so the ...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

According to EX on his latest radio show, the claret carpet is going to be around the pitch in time for the Everton game. :P Doubt it’s that soon. I was hoping we would reach the two year anniversary of when the club first agreed it, designed it and offered to pay for it with E20. We’re on our thir...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

UK Athletics have a 99 year lease that requires an athletics track for it to be fulfilled. It would require UK Athletics to relinquish that lease to have the track removed. The problem is the UK Government invested close to a billion pounds to support the 99 year athletics "legacy" ... pu...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

In which case, it is legally binding. All of the contracts have to be read with reference to the intentions behind the tender. Other bidders were excluded specifically because they would not undertake to maintain an athletics legacy. I’d need to review the tender docs, both the PQQ and ITT, to see ...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Yes the written undertaking extended to the 2017 games, but there have been a number of public assurances and commitments (not least from our own CEO) to the athletic legacy at the LS.. But times change and this legacy will have fewer and fewer backers the more time goes on and the more costly it b...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

I think taking the athletics legacy away will be very difficult politically. The accusations that we have been given a free stadium paid for by the taxpayer will get louder. That's conflating two very different things. The political argument in favour of moving Athletics away is simply to both incr...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Intresting, I thought the legal host document/agreement UK Govt/LOCOG signed guaranteed a long term future for athletics at LS? Even if it doesn't, Coe's driving ambition was for a long term athletics centre of excellence in London. Not quite. In 2011, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport si...

There is no such covenant in existence.
