Being replaced by halal shops in their hundreds. Sad to see their decline. HAHAHAHAHA! Heard it all now. The decline of pie and mash is down to the great replacement conspiracy theory. Don't know if you've noticed but pie and mash isn't exactly popular with the white younger generation, either. The...

There used to be hundreds of pie and mash shops in London. Now there are barely more than 30. Can social media attention and a push for protected status ensure their survival?

Just watched the highlights from Saturday. 

I’d like to add Rosenior to this list. 

(Thread at WHU(Exeter)'s suggestion)

For me, difficult to beat either of those two spaniards from Saturday. But Gary Lineker is up there.

Someone mentioned the recent modern football thread and I’m sure there’s probably been a “benefits of non-league” thread at some point too.  My point really is that what’s happening at West Ham isn’t unique to West Ham. It’s happening across football and, honestly, across life in general. Things ch...

Same with the idea that hostility toward Sullivan is the club’s soul. I’m not sure I see it that way. For me, the soul was always the supporters backing the team regardless of who was upstairs. If that goes, that’s when something real is lost.       That works when the owners and the fans want the ...

For as long as many of us can remember, West Ham have bounced between relegation fights and promotion pushes. In plenty of those seasons we got through because we stuck together and the place was loud when it mattered.This feels like one of those seasons where we could end up on the wrong side of t...

Enjoyable game until, as usual, the second half. Playing some incredible football in the first half. Hard to believe it was the same West Ham. Really enjoying watching Summerville. He’s like a little Jack Russell when he loses possession in the way he goes back after it. Really enjoying not having t...

Managed to get tickets for this in the ballot. That good fortune has put me in an optimistic mood and I fancy us nicking a result against the odds. But realistically there is a bit of fight in the team now and maybe a little less predictable too. So I am at least hoping that they make a game of it. ...

Does anyone know the rules for acceptable size and where you can get a fire cert if you need it?

LUCAS PAQUETA STATEMENT: Hello Hammers! I want to thank everyone at the club: staff, employees, and players, for the years I’ve spent here. These have been unique, memorable moments. Some happy, some not. But I always tried to be my best self - and we all know why that’s no longer possible. Some sc...

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...

Can't say I am too excited about this one. 

Another team sold their soul?

We've got two Kantes. Not just Mo Kante. I just don't think you understand. A Kante on the pitch, A cսnt on the board. We've got two Kantes at West Ham.

A bit try hard, perhaps (as I know that's not quite how you pronounce it)?

Seems like the season isn't over. Forest lose tomorrow the great escape 2 is back on.

I always liked Summerville even when he was struggling for end product. Hope he keeps it up. Seems a good lad.

More grrr.

Champagne has been tempted by the produce over the years I think. Unlike Lorraine who has steered well clear of her local delicacy.

I also believe thats it is apathy, take watching England, in the 80's and early 90's we could all list Englands starting 11 (bar injuries) now, you couldn't name it from one game to the next

I agree to a certain extent, I was at that semi final and the continued singing after hackett's decision will never be seen again (by any club). was also at goodison in 1999, when we were battered 6-0, and the fans kept fake celebrating us scoring. completely took the piss out of ourselves for nine...

VAR is definitely a factor. But it's just put the boot in rather than being the cause.  If you look at the QPR support, though, it confounds many of the factors we think caused it. Their fanbase has a big middle-class contingent. The old working-class fans have been dispersed westwards like ours has...

Two stories. Both in the Telegraph. Modern football is a bit shit isn't it? This is the thing about our stadium. Its not great as we all know. But these two stadiums, one regarded as the best modern football stadium in the world and the other  an old skool stadium , yet they are both having the same...
