"oily man - You bump an 8 day old thread just to troll?? You utter cսnt. You should fuck off with Moyes, two cunts together."

[wd40]

fully agree Nutsin good times had in the last 4 years What do we normally do this time of year ? fearing the drop - season after season after season yes its interesting and yes it can be enjoyable in a weird way but who fucking needs it as a true supporter? best manager since Lyall Moyes had delivered.

[Takashi Miike]

"nutcase, fuck off to a trump site you dumb fucking idiot"

[Nutsin]

"Look at you, you‚Äôre all over the place. Just shut up you fucking cսnt!"

[Takashi Miike]

"""You want to give up on Moyes at the risk of moving backwards I’m not so sure it’s a good idea. With a few new players and a bigger squad who is to say that Moyes won’t be more aggressive? What makes you so sure you’re right? You’ve been dead wrong in everything else ffs."" what, like he gives up on half the squad that he doesn't deem worthy of minutes? he doesn't want a bigger fucking squad, go and watch the liverpool league cup press conference where he said he likes a small group of players. just weeks before he made the group even smaller letting kehrer, fornals and benny to with those precious european games you love on the horizon. five years watching his defeatist shit is all the evidence you need. the only time he changes is when he's under pressure. why? because it's all about him, his way. thursday showed we can play football, you know, what we've (non cult members) been saying for years/months. you can't even differentiate between the way he approaches games because you're a dim yank twat"

*he logs in*

[Takashi Miike]

"""To hound the bloke out of the club"" do you think he love in every day to see my latest take on him? I probably do come across as angry to an effeminate imbecile. you're not going to change my opinion on that egotistical, anti football cսnt. he may bring you joy, that just shows how fucking thick you are. he bores me to tears, excruciating displays of football cuckism. bending over, even for the worst teams in the league. sick of ot, and sick of the moyes cult and their sheep like brains ?üêè"

[Nutsin]

"Taki Mike, WTF has happened to you, you use to be a decent poster, now you’re an unhinged angry fuckwit. Moyes has brought this club sustained success in Europe, he is the most succesful manager we have had this century, some would say since Lyall. All our European football made it possible for bringing in some of the key players we have today. I understand you don’t agree with his tactics or his style of play at times, but don’t you think you’re a little OTT mate? You’re acting like Moyes fucked your old lady ffs. No matter how much you pop off on here to those that disagree with your irrational, spastic hate, the facts remain, he has been good for our club and has brought a lot of Joy and fond memories to what has been way overdue. To hound the bloke out of the club for being successful is something zi have a hard time with. I have loved watching our European escapades. I’m thankful for them. You want to give up on Moyes at the risk of moving backwards I’m not so sure it’s a good idea. With a few new players and a bigger squad who is to say that Moyes won’t be more aggressive? What makes you so sure you’re right? You’ve been dead wrong in everything else ffs. You even have some of the players commenting on how the fans haven’t been behind the team this year as they were last year and how that’s affected the players. So why don’t you take an Alka Seltzer and go play a game of Bingo and put your handbag away for a minute you tedious wanker."

[Takashi Miike]

"do you even watch the games? allardyce never played three central midfielders for the majority of a season, he never continually let the opposition have the ball and sit off them. his biggest problem was loyalty to certain players like nolan who's legs had gone by the last season or so. he also wasn't given hundreds of millions of pounds to spend, yet still have a defeatist approach. no, that's your hero"

[Coffee]

More mind-numbing than BFS?

[Takashi Miike]

"yank imbecile, I haven't even mentioned the players/team in a negative way. you moyes cult cunts need to get it in your ultra thick heads that your idol/god isn't west ham. he's a well paid manager that delivers the most mind numbing brand of of football ever seen in the top flight. I love the players, and keeping that negative cսnt you love will just drive more away. I regret ever being civil to you, you are as bad as that other cսnt capitol mong ?üòÇ"

[Side of Ham]

Being ‘Spursy’ is moving to the other side of world decades ago and then taking sly little pot shots from afar on a daily basis….

[Nutsin]

"You can slag the team and Moyes off all you want but the facts remain, Moyes Era brought us lots of success and plenty of great memories and performances. Branded is dead right and only a cսnt would argue with what he has said. Call yourselfs West Ham ffs! You couldn‚Äôt be more Spursy."

[Side of Ham]

"West Ham’s support does have it’s fair share of silly romantics, glued to the lyrics of the Bubbles song….well fuck that….it is it’s East London roots and sense of humour mixed in with a localised driven need to go head to head with the best that should be our thing….. ….it’s also the difference between 2006 & this European Tour….the former we went for the jugular the second we’ve cowered to some utter no-mark clubs and had to rely on a bit of Brazilian magic to win what was otherwise going to be a cowering display…."

[BRANDED]

2006 was a great day until the final kick. Then it was a horrible trudge back from Cardiff Lets beg to differ.

[Takashi Miike]

"bitterness about 2006? a day where we went in to a match against a superior team with no inferiority complex, and played them off the park. that day just leaves proud memories, we have it a go. bitterness is having a manager that picks and chooses when the players can play, even did it as manager of man utd. go and listen to ward prowse and his post match interview ""We're much better on the front foot"". twice this season he surrendered QFs before a ball was kicked, no polishing a turd will change that fact. thursday night just confirmed what us so called haters have been saying for the past two years"

[BRANDED]

"Miike In general I‚Äôm more pro on Moyes than negative. I kinda have a holistic view of things and believe there will always be a lot of things at play. In the end in ten years time I‚Äôll look back at this period with a glow due to Prague and the European nights. I look back at 2006, for example, with a slight bitterness in my stomach. Anyway. Onwards and upwards. COYI ‚öíÔ?è‚öíÔ?è‚öíÔ?è?üëÄ"

Excellent post branded son

[Takashi Miike]

"Because for West Ham, it really did happen. He really did throw two cup quarter finals in the space of four months fuck off braindead with your pro moyes bullshit"

[BRANDED]

"“ Don't be upset because it's over, smile because it happened. Because for West Ham, it really did happen. Back in September 2021, we walked out against Dinamo Zagreb in our first group stage European campaign with absolutely zero expectations. Since then, we have won three groups, gone an entire European campaign unbeaten, reached three consecutive quarter-finals, two semi-finals and, of course, lifted European silverware. Not a single person - West Ham fan or not - saw any of that coming. If you did, I want to know what this weekend's lottery numbers are, please. The win over Sevilla, those nights in Lyon and Prague, last night against Leverkusen... the memories, oh the memories, will never fade and die, unlike our dreams, which also happened to come true on this wonderful, unbelievable and unthinkable European tour. It ended against a Leverkusen side that is arguably the best team in Europe right now. We could not beat them, but no one has this season. That's OK, because Thursday night at London Stadium felt different. The effort those players put in made sure it will go down as 'one of those nights under the lights' forever more. We didn't win but we didn't lose. All we ever demand from the players is effort. We got that last night - and then some. It was a truly magnificent performance that we must all be proud of. Most of the fans stayed after the final whistle to give the team a standing ovation. It was a mark of respect, acknowledgement and thanks for what that group, David Moyes included, has given us over the last three years. Hopefully our European love affair continues into a fourth season but, if it does not, we should look back on it with a smile. For three years West Ham were well and truly massive. And we made sure the rest of Europe knew about it. James can be found at We Are West Ham”"

lowlife 4:54 Sat Apr 20 Annoying people going to the bar 10 minutes before half time then coming back late disturbing those that are there for the football and not to get pissed.

"This sums up the game, and Moyes, perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh1UuQIrEHY&ab_channel=HammersChatWestHamForum"

[lowlife]

"Branded - agreed about feeling exhausted. I felt that way at half time! Quite a few fans heading for the bar with 5 minutes of the first half left. I was shaking my head at that too - I don’t drink at matches anyway, but even if I did I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t be taking my eyes off that game just to get to the front of a queue."

[The Fonz]

Just going to echo what others have said. Last night was special and up there with one of the best atmospheres I've seen at that stadium and Upton Park. We gave the best team in Europe a proper game and they were shitting it in the first half. Who knows what would have happened if we got the 2nd in the first half but it wasnt to be. I couldn't be prouder to be a hammer. I fucking love this club and can't wait for the next European journey.
