The thing is we have first past the post...The Dutch and Scandinavians have had proportional representation for as long as they can remember 60's/70's. It's not perfect by any means but they have learnt how to work it and get along for more of the time rather than less of the time. This will always ...

'You can't have your phone out in London' is a ridiculous thing to say, unless he's got some sort of tacky blingy diamond encrusted case.   How is it ridiculous, they've literally had to paint lines on the streets warning people not to walk in them with their phones out as they're likely to get sna...

It's not a surprise...I did think that the chances of him ending up back in Sweden were pretty high. He doesn't have to worry about money and it's a custy gig out there.

Nice work if you can get it

The Germans are saying he got injured training with West Ham. Who knows? Ultimately, he’s just very injury prone, and too slow and/or weak for the Premier League. We knew this when we signed him for £27m, too. Our scouting and transfer team really needed shooting during that period. Absolute waste ...

The new beanpole that plays for Newcastle is a strange looking fella.

A cross between Peter Crouch and Rudi Voller but he appears to know where the goal is...

My mate was over Dulwich at the weekend while I was at Edgley Park. I’ve been to Dulwich once and it was more like an activist meeting than a football match.    It's a very broad church...there are a few knobheads but generally I find it the kind of place that has it's heart in the right place. Me ...

I was at Wealdstone v Whitstable town in the fa cup yesterday 5.0 to the stones at half time but ended 5.1 so you could say the seasiders won the second half 1.0  About 300 of them travelled and to be fair made some noise with renditions of living in an oyster wonderland and a few other interesting...

I live just down the hill from Crystal Palace and can deliver him personally to Selhurst Park...I'll even chuck in a complimentary jerk chicken lunch deal... it's very good around these parts so maybe Antonio can come along for the ride as well...

1990 WC Semis was another close chance to win a Cup, although not classed as a golden generation, it was still a quality side.  Chuck in  Euro 96 Semi for good measure as well.  We aint a bad little old Footballing Nation who can take on the big boys and go toe to toe with the best sides. It's alwa...

I think we have had some bad luck with injuries in tournaments over the years as well to be fair.  The metatarsal curse with Beckham and Rooney, and Bryan Robson in 86 and 90 World Cups.  I think he might have caught Maradona instead of poor old Peter Reid chasing, and whilst David Platt deputised ...

I think Gerrard makes a very good point... Until 2008, Spain were the world's greatest underachievers and the main reason given was the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid. They were in their cliques and when things went wrong it was always the others fault. The golden generation who were all ...

I believe that there's some history between him and Brady as she has been vocal in the past (not publicly mentioning his name) that he's a perverted, misogynistic, little cսnt (allegedly), hence his hatred of her and the board. She's a shit figurehead at West Ham but does have some redeeming qualit...

Nuno knows JWP can't hack it so there's no future for him as regards to Todibo Potts senior and Robson probably gave Nuno the run down and that was enough for Nuno. Maybe...but I think he's smart enough to suss out that Todibo might be a problem for him. Regardless of how underwhelming Lopetegui an...

Just got to hope the protests against Sullivan and Brady continue and increase even if Nuno oversees an upturn in results.   As Steinberg points out, West Ham are run like a19th century business with one man calling the shots. A mill owner back in Victorian times. The club is a play thing for him a...

I know that Jacob Steinberg and The Guardian in general has it's critics on here but the restrained contempt by him regarding Sullivan is getting more pointed by the week... Good!  https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/sep/27/west-ham-graham-potter-sacking-nuno-espirito-santo-football-premier-l...

Good genetics if his father Bertie is anything to go by...

I don't mind Nuno at all...He is certainly a capable, well organized manager. He's got his work cut out with our badly recruited, disjointed squad but will certainly make a big difference defence-wise.  We'll be back to the low block Moyes style again but when he gets the team into a rhythm doing t...

The weird thing about JWP is despite his obvious limitations he was a very consistent and effective free kick taker. He remains just one goal behind Beckham in that respect. Yet, since he joined us there's been absolutely fuck all. You'd think he would still manage at least a couple per season but ...

The sexist hairy armed Dinosaur Presenter Keys gets it spot on... Good luck to Nuno. He’s going to need it at West Ham. It was a certainty Potter would go once Brady and Sullivan started getting it in the neck, but what a treacherous manner in which to sack the coach. The morning after you’ve let h...

He'll probably go with...                                        Areola                 ------ Wan Bissaka Mavro Kilman ------ Walker-Peters                                               Hadji-Diouf                                             Soucek                        Fernandes         Paqueta ...

Yeah right, with our wretched luck we'll end up with Jeffrey Dahmer...

What was his role exactly? Was he an over-promoted data analyst? If he's the best DA in the business then he might be useful to keep on in future solely in that role as the head of department but if he was over promoted to a sort of Director of Football role without portfolio and not really knowing ...
