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......

Gotta wish him the best, hope he has some idea where to go now, coaching I guess. Be horrible for him to go on TV constantly asked about what it feels like not to be at the World Cup etc.

Genuinly thought he was going to be a big deal a few years back, and was sad when we didn't get him from Crewe. Players wages means he's not gonna be a pauper, though you'd like to think thats not the most important thing for him.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Never quite thought he was as good as some other people, but it's always a shame to see someones career end this early.

I think what Brucie meant was, I think you mean, "the lady doth protest too much, methinks." Or something.

How good would it be if the only World Cup Winners in England were to be relegated in a World Cup year?

Are you sure they won it? I'm not calling you a liar or anything, it's just, if they had, surely they'd have mentioned it or something?

Another Premiership team almost in administration

West Ham debt freeze hits Gold and Sullivan's bid

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/footbal ... 416905.stm

Quote ".... Had the bank not succeeded in getting repayments frozen, the holding company would have gone into liquidation, leading to a likely sale of assets. ..."

Surely this is a ploy to stop the Club going into administartion, like Portsmouth some "cleaver" accounting practices are being used to protect Clubs form the -10pt rule!! The Premiership should step in to stop such things happening.
Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

The premierleauge, will do all they can to STOP teams going into administration, they don't on one of their valuable commodities to be seen as a failing business

I didn't mean it it's own financial terms, I meant as in they'd rather save face to the rest of he viewing world than see one it's so called 'big clubs' hit the wall
