West Ham are complete failures! Let's all laugh at 'em!

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Stiles would have sent Diouf off for it!
If you believe in this stuff ... & though I know many don't, personally I do ... then this is a yellow for the shirt ... & a yellow for going into the crowd = red.

Re going into the crowd, it's not like he went up & high-fived a few of them, he damn near caused a riot. All in good fun, but the reasons this is banned are obvious. The shirt banning is just a matter of good taste !

Classic case of the animals running the zoo. Big-headed, overpaid and undisciplined mob of ego-merchants. One classic case of money being no object, and no use either.

Here's a variation on a theme - with thanks to all the suicide contenders at KUMB.

"... and news of another goal at Upton Park! Over to you, Tony!"

Now here's a rich thread to be mined! From KUMB today.
Come August this year I think we will have the best set of players in the Fizzy and be clear favourites to come back up...
But in a sense this is what will make it hard for us.........Every match will be a little Cup Final for the other teams. They are the sort of matches we have failed in so often in Cup competitions.
And they all start to thrash towards the lifebuoy!
If you go down with pots of money you come back asap....
I seem to remember Blackburn went down and didnt need to sell and could buy, and they came storming back.
next season i predict will be a 100 pointer for the hammers.
This guy gets so excited about the prospect that he loses the ability to write in English.
That is what we need to rely on...
I am confident we will bounce straight back up... one of the things i am looking forward to is the massive cull of players though, get rid of a number of those that have less us down!
One slight hint of sanity - only slight mind! (He presumably thinks that the Hammers play a fluent passing game.)
Everyone thinks we'll storm it next season....we might do but if you put some of the top clubs in the prem down in the CCC they'd struggle......it's a totally different ball game to the fluent passing game of the prem.
For one, we'll be the team that everyone wants to beat....it'll be every teams cup final. They'll chuck 11 behind the ball, wait until the upton park faithful start getting on the teams back and bang, they'll hit us on the break and then shut up shop again.
I really find it amaizing that people still have their heads in the clouds after the two seasons we spent down there
But wait, do I hear "Land of Hope and Glory" and "Bubbles"?
Does anybody know what odds i could get on west ham winning the championship next year? should be good odds if you get in early!
I think Teves will be off as he is one of the best players in the world and all of the top clubs around europe will be after him and we cant offer half of what they can ie: champions league , but what could work in our favour is if deano doesnt recover from his injury in time to pass a medical for a premiership club, then gets fit a few weeks into the season, he will be stuck with us until january, were hopefully we will be top of the league and looking good for promotion so he might stay, also we should keep neil as only the top four could match his £70k wages and hes not good enough for them. Also we will probably lose a keeper, we cant justify having two top class keepers in the ccc so one will go, which leaves us still with a good enough keeper for promotion (if they stay off the booze!)
It also sounds like we will have money to spend, so whatever players we lose we should be able to replace with players capable of winning the league, the only problems we will have is keeping the big boys away from noble and buying a right winger, something that we have really missed this year or since sinclair left really, so its looking pretty good, we will have the best striker in the league, the best keeper, the best defender and a future england midfielder, as long as we can keep him, so we will have a good backbone to work from.
If only we could keep Teves, but that just aint gonna happen
And so it continues, I think it must be all the Victorian lead drinking water pipes they have to contend with.
what if we get off to a flying start and win our first six games, surely we will be favourites and very short odds, im hoping to get in now and get at least 20-1
I don't know about you, but I think I might miss them. :crazy:

What a bunch of complete and utter loonies. Still, can't wait to see what needle-brained excuses they come up with during their first bad patch next season. Maybe we should do some excuses for them?

1. 'We play a style of football more suited to the Premiership than the Championship, that's why we're struggling'

Any more for any more?

Going down and still supporting and hopeful. Give em their due, they sure are supporters. I won't mention Leeds in their hearing, that would be cruel. :mrgreen:

I find it very hard to feel sorry for West Ham as a club, but Curbishley... he looks like a very unhappy man and it's hard not to feel sorry for him. (not that I expect you lot to feel the same!)

Great game of football yesterday, btw.

He worries me actually, he really does look properly depressed. I think he gave up on this season a while back, he's looked a broken man since they lost at Reading.

And yeah, that has to be the best game of football i've seen this season. It was amazing.

Just when you thought they couldn't possibly implode any further....
West Ham United's season took a turn from the shambolic to the shameful on Sunday when large groups of supporters were filmed chanting racist and anti-semitic slogans at half-time of the club's 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that its football unit is investigating a complaint made by the Community Security Trust, an organisation that protects Britain's Jewish community from anti-semitism. Among the chants heard was one stating: "I'd rather be a Paki than a Jew".

West Ham did well in the championship because they offloaded some "stars" (our England squad) and some of the younger players were able to get games and grow as a team. those same players are now at each others throats. not only with the card schools but there'll be finger pointing when they go down

they won't come straight back up

I got that.. the point being I don't think Yossi would understand why his own supporters would be singing this sh*t.
