Not Sure What Thread/Where to put it (from Feb 2026)
Whilst carrying out a bit of a family history for my granddad, my father came across this titbit:
“3rd Oct 1945- Association Football Match between West Ham United and a team from British Army of the Rhine (all were professional players). For many of the over 10,000 spectators in the Olympic Stadium, Berlin, this game must have been the first professional soccer seen for several years. It was a very good game and ended in a draw 2 – 2.”
West Ham was invited by Field Marshal Montgomery (Chief of the British Forces in Germany) to become the first foreign club to play in Germany following the end of World War II.

November internationals
Harry Kane.
Outstanding stats, and a good man with it. -
Lummey, is it that time already? January 2027 transfer speculation
I was going to suggest Harrison Reed, so it’s a yes from me 😁 There must be a reason why Ramsdale has imploded, and since we haven’t solved Areola’s (or, according to some, Hermansen’s) problems, adding another dodgy keeper to ours doesn’t seem very logical 😳 -

Really don’t rate Ramsdale and think even his highlights are spectacular saves he’s had to make because of bad positioning. -
Our final league position
More like a pantomime. Oh no it isn’t. Oh yes…..

Michael Carrick might be available soon 🫢
Did we jump the gun with Parker, then again, would Carrick have wanted to come to us straight after being fired...Not sure, anyhow, for now, in Parker I trust......
