Yeah, posh private schools are a notorious breeding ground for lefties.

Not even statistically significant

Paqueta not playing for last two games now. Let's have a look at the results.   Oh come on that's just silly, we beat QPR because Fernandes wasn't playing after he was when we lost 3-0 to Wolves, we lost 3-0 to Wolves cause Paqueta wasn't playing... We hadn't won a league game without Paqueta befor...

VAR ruining another fantastic moment.

Pure fucking panic   Yep, we have turned into hopeless and headless chickens. Nuno going his best to lose this  Genuinely don't think this has anything to do with the manager.     True. Although you would hope he could shows signs that he has a diagnosis by way of the substitutions he makes.

Got rid if Paqueta only to get lumbered with Pablo.

Do you who the advert is for. I can review the publishing list and ban them if it helps.

Crystal Palace?

It's miserable to see tech used to take us out of the moment when football is one of the few things that allow us to enjoy life in the moment. If it's not even improving decision making then not only is not adding anything it comes at a huge cost to our enjoyment.  It should be binned. And they shou...

When you think about it there does tend to be some trade-off when taking on a Maverick type of player which we want to see at West Ham but comes at a price. It rarely works out well in the end, take Paqueta, Payet, even Di Canio it ended somewhat acrimoniously. It wouldn't put me off in future, jus...

It's a worthwhile thread as agree it's odd that he's gone awol. Also, he had a 'thing' for Alex V, use to stalk him on Twitter and sometimes mockingly put up some links on here, so definitely strange that he hasn't at least commented on Alex's passing. I hope he's OK, as we like to say on here with...

If we continue the old skool theme to the ties, Birmingham City would be a good draw. Preferably away.

Gonna be Macclesfield away and we will get an allocation of about two tickets.

That will be one positive in the Championship 

I have an instinctive dislike of Beckham, but over the years he has grown on me. He may be a bit divvy but he's a family man and patriotic too. No idea what's behind his son's behaviour but I doubt it's his dad's fault. Experience tells me it's more likely the bint. I feel for Beckham snr dealing wi...

Wills I think any West Ham away crowd will be excellent. The crowd in stadium is huge and has every demographic. Unfortunately too many are polite. That said the polite crowd around where I was eventually showed a bit of support towards the end. I had to move away from my normal place as it was all...

Quite pleased Summerville is getting it together. A lot of people were understandably writing him off. I don't know why, but I always felt he might come good. Hopefully he carries on like this.  Although the stadium is a soulless awful place, attributing it as the sole cause for our shit support is ...

Looking forward to tomorrow too. Partly the old skool London opposition. Could be a good atmosphere for once. 

As sacrilegious as it may be, after hearing that Nuno may be sacked if we lose to Tottenham, I  hoping we lose. Taken a dislike to that prick. 

Squad leadership issue: Potter wanted experienced (ideally British) leaders; some arrivals were liked but not seen as vocal leaders. Bowen stayed captain largely because no clear vocal alternative arrived.     I always feel the importance of this "(ideally British)" is downplayed for numb...

TLDR?       ChatGPT is your friend here: It claims West Ham’s board is split between a long-term “cut costs + develop assets” faction and a short-term “spend to chase Europe” faction. Potter was allegedly hired to run a wage-reduction rebuild (not to prioritise results), then undermined internally ...
