Looks like Man U will be joining us in the cup. They're a mess at the moment.

Press Conference - Oggy/Moyes (26 minutes) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WK3rPnB1CIU&pp=ygUad2VzdCBoYW0gcHJlc3MgY29uZmVyZW5jZSA%3D

"We have had shit football for many periods since the 70s, I also used to live in East Ham and so on, but most have moved on, life and football ain’t the same, can still have a beer and moan thou!"

[Full Claret Jacket]

At least we arent playing teams of farmers in Europe this season. Even if I have to watch West Ham play dire Moyesball I can take something from watching some decent players and opposition. I also dont mind who starts as long as key players dont get injured.

[Takashi Miike]

"........and I was at the Bond Scheme protests. back then it was close knit, players respected the fans and the ones that did invade the pitch were applauded rather than punched. close knit is long ago"

[Takashi Miike]

"Alwaysaniron 1:25 Wed Nov 8 that was a direct response to a fucking idiot saying to me ""fans like you"". not sure why you'd include yourself, you support Moyes and the shit football all you want, but don't expect everyone to. the close knit bit makes me laugh, so close knit certain cunts waded in to one of the pitch invaders as he left the pitch during that burnley game"

[RM10]

"Daveg- yes I did and enjoyed it, I don’t get what you want, play to your liking and lose??? It’s a 90min game. If you want the perfect manager then good luck, never seen one at our level as in outside top 6."

[GBHammer63]

"The bickering on here is boring, can we all just agree that whether we win or lose, for the vast majority of the time Moyes gives us a shit style of football and sees no wrong in doing that. Voice of reason me."

[Russ of the BML]

"Up to now, many of our Euro games on Thursdays were met with excitement and relish. I'm looking forward to this game. The Euro games offer a different feel and atmosphere which I really love. But one person not looking forward to this will be Moyes. Suddenly he is in jeopardy. And if we get beaten Thursday with a flat performance. Even his mates in the media will be having a look over at us and wondering what's going on,"

[Alwaysaniron]

"Takashi Miike 7:50 Tue Nov 7 ""New breed cunts' At 63 I don't consider myself new breed anything. I have seen us win 6 trophies (if you include the intertotto 2 bob cup) so hardly just interested in winning stuff. Saying that winning trophies does matter to me, we've are close knit club but that doesnt stop me wanting or sometimes even expecting to win shit."

"Dr Matt, That's quite sensible from you. I'd have Alvarez instead of JWP."

RM10 Did you to the Arsenal game ? That first half was dire. No shots on target and an own goal. I'm glad we won as it meant Arteta lost. We were lucky yet he still couldn't bring Mubama on even though we were 3-0 up. He'll get lucky again and Olympiacos will have a player sent off earlier the shut up shop at 1-0

Talkshite Miike Your obsession with hating Moyes has turned you into crazy fool. I want Moyes out so stop making up your own reality that I’m obsessed by him because that’s only in your tiny mind. I just said a few weeks ago that while Moyesball is working I’ll put up with it. It’s not working…

[Takashi Miike]

"it's the cult of personality. It's nothing to do with the club you cսnt, you're obsessed with a manager and won't hear a bad word said about him. like a lovestruck octogenarian prepared to die for his anti football hero. I never mention 'the club'"

[Sir Alf]

"Many fans have said his brand of football is only tolerated if we win most games and even draw some. It was said while we got to the Euro places in the league and again after 4 or 5 games at the start of this season. Soon as we stop winning most games, the calls for him to go will start to be heard yet again. There are some foundations in place for a good manager to work with but it will take some more transfer business to address some glaring holes or weaknesses( Soucek, Antonio, Benrahma, Coufal, Aguerd? ). Steidten must be searching surely? He has 25 weeks to identify someone and get them in. Meanwhile order some mind bleach to remove the memories of the remaining games this season."

[Willtell]

RM10 Talkshite Miike won’t do anything other than abuse anyone he thinks is being loyal to the club. He is to discussion what Putin is to democracy…

[Takashi Miike]

"""Mike- I know in the past fans like you"" you don't know me you idiot, yet you call me ignorant? go for your fortnightly beer, enjoy the defending and shi T football but stop policing people that don't enjoy it and think we can play better"

[RM10]

New breed? you are ignorant that’s for sure. We have no chance winning the league shall we drop to the championship.

[Takashi Miike]

"fans like me? I'd be wanting him to be given a ten year contract if I was interested in losing, his football will deliver that on a regular basis. you think I moan all the time because I want the team to lose? no, it's because the football is shit and giving him even more talent has made zero difference to how he approaches games. he's never going to change. my comment about dropping in to the conference is because we have next to no chance of winning the europa, and trophies are all that matters to you new breed cunts"

[RM10]

"The old school fans never got together to take ownership of the stands or pubs at the start that was a problem and these days you can’t do what we did at Upton Park, smoking smuggling drinks etc."

[RM10]

"Mike- I know in the past fans like you wanting the team to lose, but we were in trouble times with a poor team, we are not in that situation. You are ignorant to us fans who do go and don’t want to see us lose because you fancy it. It’s different for us as it’s still a night out having some beers so take it a bit easier than the arm chair supporters who look at every mistake incident like a var ref."

[Manuel]

"A lot of old school, proper West Ham have stopped going, for many different reasons. On the flip side, I have noticed in recent years on FB etc people I knew from years back now go over there, nothing wrong with that, but years back I hardly even heard them talk about West Ham, let alone go. Point being, going now certainly doesn't make you more West Ham than some who no longer go. I no longer go, but I live and breathe the football club, same as miike does."

[LeroysBoots]

"Sorry, why does it matter if you go to games or not Makes you an elite fan if you do ? Utter bollocks I've followed West Ham home and away for 40 years but only recently did I get a season ticket Ground hold 60k We have a fanbase of what, over a million ? Does a fan in say Spain have less say of a fan who attends regular games ?, absolutely not Elitist nonsense"
