As a quick follow on to Massive; when Summerville gets the ball he is quick, goes on a run and beats two opposing players in quick succession and then looks around for someone to pass to. Only, they are not there. He then makes the decision to keep going alone but by that time he is surrounded by de...

It looks like I need to change my user name then. 
 

Those away fans made me proud to be a Hammer tonight.The commentators here in the US even commented on them. We so deserve a decent ground for when we are at home. 

This is a good obituary written in the Times.  Billy Bonds obituary: club legend as player and manager at West Ham Captain for the Hammers who led them to two FA Cup wins and was regarded as the best player to never earn a cap for England If people were starting to think that Billy Bonds was “past i...

Surface, I responded to his email. He is a Sunderland supporter. He should know what suffering is all about. 

Yesterday I listened to the Guardian Football Weekly Podcast. I was dissatisfied with the tribute paid to our Billy. So, I sent them an email expressing my dissatisfaction and to their credit they responded immediately.  Credit goes to "Coffee One Sugar" who wrote a moving piece on the mai...

Yesterday, I listened to the Football Guardian Podcast, and disatisfied with the tribute to Billy Bonds I wrote them a letter. I cut and pasted "Coffee one Sugar's" post but I could have chosen many of the posts on this thread.  This is the email I sent to the Guardian. Hi Max, Barney and ...

I'll drive him to the airport .... and I live in California for fuck's sake! 

Billy Bonds would have liked Vlad. He was what West Ham were all about. 

Let's replace him with that Hackney youngster now playing at Boro. How good would it be to have Hackney playing in Hackney. You know it makes sense. 

I remember watching the Big Match one Sunday, with Brian Moore’s voice coming out the TV. We were stuck in the Second Division, slogging it out at home on a pitch that was more mud than grass. I think we were  playing Bolton. Then Bonzo flew into a crunching tackle, scooped up the ball, and stormed ...

In a land, far off in the future, I would love it if Tomas and Vlad came back to manage us. 

For those, who know more than me, does it go like this?  Sullivan gets involved in the transfer with his favourite agents, on the understanding that he uses the club money to buy the player - at an over-inflated price - and the agent re-directs a good proportion off the funds into Sullivan's own per...

According to ChatGPT 1. Savio Nsereko (2009) Fee: ~£9 million (then a club record!) Expectations: Huge — signed as a young prospect from Brescia. Reality: Barely played, no goals, disappeared off the radar quickly. Often cited as  the  worst signing in West Ham history. 2. Simone Zaza (2016–17) Loan...

I'm an avid crossword geek and have recently got into compiling crosswords. I've created a West ham themed version and would welcome some feedback. WHO Mail me and I will send you a PDF. 

I did try and break it up into paragraphs but failed miserably. I will be moved on in the January transfer window. 

It's a long read from Jonathan Liew... but worth it.  West Ham tumble in modern football’s global vortex, with home now a distant memory A feeling of loss and dislocation surrounds the East End club, which has never been part of tourist or establishment LondonGraham Potter still turned up for work ...

Here's my two penneth worth. Summerville, Bowen and Diouf were the outstanding players. Areola made some crucial saves. The midfield had some energy. Nuno must have been on our chat forums because he picked the right team. KWP is a real find and as many have said, "he had Grealish in his pocket...
