The 'couldn't think where else to put this' and decided it didn't merit a new thread thread

Brother_Sledge

Hi All ;wave The Sledge Family send their love . Miss Sledge (Emma) got married on Saturday and obviously Sledgehammer was sadly missed . The photo shows claret and blue balloons being released at the reception in his memory. Emma is the one in white and I am furthest left ;hug ;champagne ;champagne

MrsGrey

What a lovely idea. Congratulations to the happy couple. ;hug

SuzanneClaret

That is smashing ;poppy

grey_til_I_dye

606 congratulations to all. ;champagne

And a ;beer in memory of Sledge

What is that part at the end? Is it implying that alpacas aren't gay and that footballers are?

MrsGrey

;ok

I thought it was funny up until that point. Then it seemed to be saying men (footballers) kissing each other is a bad thing and should be stopped.

Personally, I'd like to see lots more kissing and a bit less kicking ;biggrin




(Except for Vardy ;wink )

SuzanneClaret

Yeah, I made that point in the Facebook post that displayed the photo.

Anybody seen "Upstart Crow" on iPlayer?

I left work late today with the unfortunate consequence that my experience on the met line was tainted by the presence of numerous "King Edwards"

We don't seem to have a thread for Sakho, and it's not really an 'injury update. So I'm putting it here. ;biggrin


'“Sakho, as I said last week, his attitude and mood is spot-on, really spot-on. He looks really motivated in training and that’s why he was playing for us from the start or coming on.

“I have no complaints whatsoever and I am not trying to hide things. His determination is really good and he looks really good, injury-free and willing to train and play good for West Ham United.”

England just taken 50 off two overs v the Windies. (Moeen hitting six 6's from 8 deliveries.)

That seems like a lot.

buffybegood

Was great batting, the second fastest English one day ton, coming off just 53 balls.

Don't know why this suddenly came into my thoughts, but what has become of Twist since his enforced profile name change???

buffybegood

Back on the cricket, they just said that Moeen's second 50 came off 12 balls, a world record for an ODI.

Er, what have I missed?

grey_til_I_dye

It was a 'If Bilic is still here at the start of the season, I'll change my name' post.

OutcastLondoner

Ha. What's his name now?

grey_til_I_dye

Well, he hasn't come back to change it, but it was something nice about Big Sam.

grey_til_I_dye

Moeen went from 39 to 100 in 14 balls!

ASLEFshrugged

Is somebody going to start the Swansea thread?

SuzanneClaret

You could....

ASLEFshrugged

Nah, too lazy.

Zaza has scored five goals in six games for Valencia and Calleri has scored two in six for Las Palmas

Crikey.........

Vorselaarhammer

At the moment we also cant seem to get a proven Quality Striker in position to score.

Does our Manager know how to use Strikers is maybe a question to answer.

secrethammersfan

I just counted, and eight teams in the League have scored more goals than us. It's best not to compare the "goals against" columns. I do think that there is a certain breed of striker that does really well in Mediterranean clubs that doesn't always shine in England. West Ham just seem to have a knack for selecting them.

Easy mistake. I often mistake the Thames for the Med.

Referring to Prince Harry flying helicopters, an actual MP had this to say:

"Somebody else will tell me whether or not that's true but I've been told that's an absolute fact that somebody sits beside him and drives the helicopters for him."
