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......

I love how he takes Gartside's idea ( a pproperly shit one, for so many reasons, in fact for pretty much every reason except the ones he mentions) and then tries to argue we wouldn't get it because Blackpool, Preston, Charlton, Bristol City, Plymouth would. Now I'm by no means at all a 'we're a big club so ner ner' person, but if you were to use that ludicrous system....we win.

His argument is right though. Football must be a meritocracy.

Oh, and there is no place in the PL for the Old Firm. (He didn't actually say that, but he should have done.) :wink:

Aside from the character assasination of our club he is right yes. The glee with which he seized upon the chance to have a go at those northern bastards TM was embarrasing however.

Big, big shame. Always struck me as a decent bloke and an amazing player.

I pretty much agree with everything he says. I understand that Gartside has our best interests in mind and is trying to protect us from financial ruin. An easier way of doing this would be to grow a set and tell Megson to get f*cked when he tries to spend the majority of our budget on Knight, Ricketts, and Robinson.

It was reported elsewhere that Gartside was willing to accept promotion and relegation from the bottom of 'PL2'

FWIW I'd be interested to read the proposal document but I'll always be against Rangers and Celtic bringing their brand of violence and hatred of the English to our ground, not to mention they'd be a threat for league position.

Good striker. Very sad about his injury.

I hope he didn't make it worse during that spazzy goal celebration though! :wink:

Would they take a straight swap for Elmander? Maybe if we threw in a cash sweetener aswell?

Is that the 2 goals from 4 games, bang in-form Elmander you're talking about? :wink:

Anyway, the news about Ashton is a shame. If, as that article suggests, he starts trying to sue Shaun Wright Phillips, all hell will break loose. I highly doubt he will though.

The news about Martin Samuel being a nice person, even when he's got a resonable point underneath it, is a less of a shame as who'd expect anything less? The extent he goes to in the first half of that article to try and contrive a set of criteria that'd see us left out was hilariously pathetic.

It's actually 2 goals in 241 minutes, or 2.6 games, since he's returned from injury.

Always knew he'd come good. :mrgreen:
