I still give Nuno plenty of credit credit as previously stated, but on reflection looking back at that double substitution of both Bowen and Summerville for Traore and Walker-Peters it did seem unnecessary echoing past poor substitutions in other games he's made which tend to hinder us more than he...

Apparently Roberto De Zerbi is a shoe-in for the Spurs gig.

His squad at Marseille was like a who's who list of football's expendables...

The 7 minutes injury time that wasn't 7 mins killed us obviously.  Haven't seen their goal again but looked a good goal that maybe we could have stopped by reacting quicker? It's a bit harsh to quibble too much really. I thought the defence had another impressive game. Disasi did get caught a littl...

Gutted. What an absolute kick in the gonads that was. We still need at least 5 wins and a couple of draws  out of 12. I've never been convinced 38 points would be enough...I reckon all the other cunts will keep on winning like the Roeder season when BFS matched every result with Bolton. If we win th...

I blame that old fossil Michael Tabor. Felt at the time like he could have set us on a better path instead of Brown. Just wasn't to be. Wasn't Tabor introduced to the board by Jack Petchey?  Both were pretty loaded and fully fledged members of the Essex multi-millionaire club or did I imagine that?...

If we get relegated this season it will be because we were too bad to stay up and nothing at all to do with the stadium. I say that because the previous two occasions we have been relegated this century our home ground was our much vaunted Boleyn Ground. We go down because our ownership has not don...

In a nutshell we had the wrong people in charge when it came to redeveloping the old ground to a very high standard to ensure it was future proof enabling the club to reach the next level. We ended up at the future proof toilet bowl as a direct consequence of that fact and now we have different peop...

After zero points against Forest, Fulham and Wolves over Christmas I thought we were done and dusted. There was nothing at all to suggest there was any fight or spirit in the team. To think that Potter thought the shower he began the season with was competitive makes the mind boggle. I remember losi...

Where the hell is Mad Dog or Vexed to put this utter knob cheese in their rightful place?

I just don't have the tools

After beating Spurs, I thought we still needed 7 wins or 6 plus a few draws to have a chance of staying up. At least 40 points.

I'm still not convinced that 38 points will be enough.

If it wasn't for the disastrous, ill thought out and piecemeal redevelopment of The Boleyn then we wouldn't have ended up at the toilet bowl.  There was loads of space to do a much better job but the disaster for our club was Terry Brown taking over when he did.  The bloke just didn't have the know-...

"stadium hate (although I understand it) is probably more of a proxy for hating the owners really. If we had Saudis pumping in billions on players and we were in the CL every week I doubt anyone would give a shit about a running track." absolute horse shit. they (gold, the midget & br...

As I said before if there isn't a covenant on that land to ensure a football club remains there in perpetuity regardless of whatever else gets redeveloped then the future is bleak. We all know that Athletics is expendable...despite the crap official line about providing an Olympic legacy. As long as...

What a patronising fool I haven't been able to go to every home game plus a few away ones for years due to the fact my responsibilities are different to the very few I had in my youth 30 odd years ago. Which I'm sure goes for quite a few of us on here as well. What's any of that got to do with being...

There seem to be a few different camps of thought regarding Sullivans time at West Ham, which is understandable given how emotional and longstanding it is. But it is worth stepping back and looking at the broader reality.  Sullivan has been our owner since 2010. Sixteen years likely puts him among ...

Oops, although anyone who knows my threads, the first 100 lines as easily understood as most of what I post 🤭 What it should have said was: The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability in a specific area overestimate their competence.   Soon to be renamed as “The Sull...

Mitchell Thomas for me Built like an out house Touch of a light house I dunno...Dale Gordon comes pretty close as well. 750k (ridiculous money at the time) scored on his debut against Coventry and then disappeared for the next 3 years. He went on loan to Millwall and they got even less change out o...
