So, Club World Cup, anyone watched any of it? Personally I'm not interested in it in the slightest, I haven't watched a minute of it.

    And that's a no from me

    Very watchable so far but the matches in the early hours are tiring 😉😄.

    Not interested.

    I had no appetite to watch it. I don't even know who's in it.

    It’s just one of Infantile’s cash generators but without much in the way of fans interest.

    Yeah, I really can't stand the bloke, I disagree with nearly everything he does.

    As most on here it would appear rather close their curtains than watch the Club World Cup has anyone been watching any of the Euro Under 19 & 21 tournaments for the Women & Men?

    Yeah, I've watched a bit but not religiously.

    Nope, not that either!
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Nah.

    Is that the competition where all the spectator seats are empty

    An interview with Alan Curbishley just arrived on Youtube

    Curbs making clear his two big regrets were leaving West Ham too early as both a player and a coach. He speaks of the Tevez period, Di Canio at Charlton and Scott Parker. They speak of the difference in pre season training from then and now, ' we used to run around Epping Forest, forever! chasing Billy Bonds who was always the fittest'.

    Really interesting film, I love it when you get those little insights as to what really goes on behind the scenes.
    Blimey though, I would never have recognised Alan Hudson.I feel right old now.

    Max Verstappen out on the first lap of the Austrian Greand Prix, happy days 😊😊😊.

    Not for him me thinks =)

    I watch very little tennis through the year, but do sometimes watch a bit of Wimbledon. Is it just Boulter that fist pumps almost every winning point, or is it something that's crept into the game? I find it extremely annoying and it's making me want to switch off a match I should want to watch.

    buffy, I am more irritated by Kristie Mewis leaving the Womens team after having only played four times in a season & a half! I will acknowledge she did announce she was pregnant last November but hardly made an appearance before that hence only 4 games. How much has she cost us?

    I've no idea how much our female players get paid; I'm sure it's a drop in the ocean compared to the men, but, as you rightly point out, she's hardly provided value for money.

    I know it's a huge can of worms, and possibly it would be illegal under employment legislation, but are "pregnancy clauses" part of contracts for professional sportswomen?

    Enough of all this Club World Cup malarky, finally some real football:

    When did Grealish move to China?
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Daily Mail (I know) reckons West Ham v Chelsea will be moved from 3pm Saturday 23rd August to 8pm Friday 22nd August after Sky got permission from the Met to switch

    And so it begins......

    New home kit out now. Apart from the horrible sponsor logos, both the new Boyle Sports and that horribble green blob again, I think it's quite nice, if it wasn't supposed to be our playing kit. Are blue arms really too much to ask for?

    I love it, just ordered 3 complete sets.!🎉❤️⚒️
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    There's nothing wrong with it but in my view no one in the design team has earmarked themselves for promotion!
  • stevesteve
    I hate it

    Without the sponsors, as a training kit or somesuch I quite like it, but for representing our club colours it's a really bad choice imo.

    Don’t like the sponsor - I always associate Boyle Sports with relegation. Crest should be all silver.
