He scored some great goals He played some exquisite passes He performed some outrageous tricks and flicks He tackled hard His penalties were as close to a sure thing as you get He had some moments of shithousery that were a joy to behold ..and he played THAT pass to Bowen in Prague He's the kind of...

FWIW, to get out of this mess we need to put together a run of results we haven't been capable of for a good few years so can see why so many are pessimistic. Personally if we go down its very different this time, long gone are the days of West Ham having the reputation of playing attractive attack...

In previous relegation fights the anxiety has been horrendous but it's different for me this time. For the first time, and I don't like saying it, I want us to go down, because that's the only thing that will really get to Sullivan. I'd enjoy watching some of our young players and have some bond wit...

The football under Moyes was simply boring. at least after the first season or so, and I'm glad he went. What's unbelievable is that we managed to replace him with three managers even worse and possibly even more boring. So no, I don't wish he was still here, I wish we had different owners who had t...

I didn't know him but remember his posts well. This is very sad news. Thanks Alex for starting this forum - RIP. Thoughts are with all those close to him.

I'd jump at the chance of having Bilic back. I'm not saying he'd keep us up, but I don't care about that any more. I just want to see someone with passion and, hopefully, football that I can enjoy. Won't happen though.

It's all been said. But what a player on the pitch, and what a man off it. Saw him make his debut (was it Ken Brown's testimonial?). RIP, Bill, and thanks for all those memories.

In the English football system, from National north/south to the PL, there remains only one team unbeaten in league games. I went to watch them last night as they drew with Chesham United. Hornchurch have ten wins and five draws so far topping the National league south table. I went to that, too. T...

Can you imagine Devonshire on today’s pitches & with the outlawing of industrial tackling? Absolutely unplayable  Read that as well as trying to buy him Bobby Robson told him he wanted to build his England team around him before his injury Incredible player I may be wrong, but my memory of Bobb...

Shutting up shop is not a Team that kept attacking soon after Wilson went off with at least 5 shots on target off the top of my head that resulted in a disallowed goal before we eventually did score again in searching for a killer goal thanks to the Teams perseverance. Think we also had 3 corners a...

I'd probably more say 'apdoting a more defensive mindset and absorbing pressure' rather than hanging on as they never really threatened to overrun us.  Yeah we definitely weren't hanging on being in control of the game enjoying a number of attacks of our own when Wilson went off. Pope soon after wa...

Do the club usually play loud music well after the final whistle, or was that just to drown out the chants?

First time I've enjoyed a game since, well, I don't know when. Such a better performance, which I guess is what happens when you pick your best team in their correct positions. Todibo was a completely different player from the previous games, Kilman wasn't too bad either, Potts, Paqueta, Fernandes, ...

No. No. No.

The problem with in-ground demonstrations is that the place is so vast that they have limited impact. I thought the boycott was reasonably successful as there were a lot of empty seats, but they were so spread out (although at least it made the management panic and start offering low-price seats); t...

I've never in my life wanted us to go down and have never really enjoyed playing in the Championship (although it wasn't so bad in the second tier when we had Brooking, Devonshire, Bonds, etc). But if we go down this season I'm more likely to renew than if we stay up, for all the reasons already quo...

It's a big stadium - if people are too spread out even a large number might not look like much. I'm happy to give it a go, but it does need to be a good turnout.

Did it definitely sell out, though or did they just activate ticket exchange because it was in their interests to do so? They certainly pulled out all the other stops to try and get as many people in as possible so it wouldn't surprise me. I got a text message from West Ham 12 days ago encouraging ...

When I first looked at the TV coverage I thought the stadium looked reasonably full and was disappointed, but when the cameras got closer you could see there were a lot of empty seats. Trouble was they were spread around, so it didn't have the full effect - bit like everything about that place. A wo...

Not going on Monday as a matter of principle although I’m doubtful about the impact. Sullivan and Brady will do their best to spin this so the protest seems not only pointless but misguided and unsupportive of Nuno and the team. I’m hoping there are enough empty seats to cause the cameras to seek o...

Wasn't his assistant the defence-minded Don Howe? I seem to remember at the time feeling Howe's influence was greater than it should have been.

So I've received a message today from West Ham encouraging me to relist my ticket for Brentford if I can't make it. I thought this happened only if the game was sold out. So are they trying convince me that the game is sold out so if I'm thinking of boycotting I won't bother? Or have they changed t...

I do believe in God but couldn't explain it, and understand why people find it difficult, or impossible. I didn't come from a church-going family. It's just a few things that have happened over the years that have given me a faith - which I know is a bit of a get-out, but that's just the way it is f...

This is all very depressing and I can't get remotely excited about this appointment - although I'm glad Potter's gone and, given our ownership, he might be the best we're likely to get. I literally can't remember the last time I enjoyed a game at the LS and wish I had listened to my sane self and no...
