  • I rarely defend the board but i think a lot of other clubs have this on their websites too. I know Arsenal do ;hmm
  • Not worried about other clubs twist, this is rubbish regardless of who else has it

    Oh arsenal you say, that would make sense though

    Of course. Karren's favourite club, after all.
  • No it isn't.
  • Oh yes it is (panto season is going on a bit late)

    In her Sun column a few years ago Brady said she was always conflicted when West Ham play Arsenal because she grew up a Gooner.

    West Ham is the just the club that pays her bills.
  • load of rubbish coming out of Sullivan again when will he stop I'm beginning
    to get fed up with the little man .

    Eh? When? Did I miss it? You obviously can't mean the Rooney story, which has been dismissed, and for which no source was ever identified, can you?
    Oh come on G, Sullivan has a history of leaking things to the press. Well known knowledge he has a few journo mates
  • OK, so have I got this right?

    a) story comes out without any source

    b) the assumption is made that this is from Diddy Dave (on no evidence)

    c) DD gets stick for being assumed to be the source

    d) it turns out the story was a load of made up tosh (i.e. there was no source)

    e) DD still gets stick, even though he hadn't done what people assumed he had done, because everyone know he does that sort of thing...
  • Grey,

    you missed out the point where DD also made this all up just to get people to buy season tickets, because the waiting list is actually also made up and they are desperate for people to buy tickets...
  • Mooj

    ;ok

    Good point, well made.

    It's hard to keep track...

    No dear. It's KB's fault.

    Everything is KB's fault.

  • The board are perfect. They've never done anything wrong. They've never spoken too much in the media about transfers. The Olympic stadium move has been a complete success with no problems whatsoever. They never promised a top striker. Everything about them is fantastic.

    Irons
    ;ok
  • Back to transfers...

    Who should we be looking at in the summer? Any players from teams getting relegated?

    Said no one ever.

    You seem determined to hold on to your dislike of them, and to use any stick you can find to beat them with, regardless of how unfair or unreasonable.

    You also seem determined to avoid actual discussion by just making stuff up about what people say, and then ridiculing it.

    Said no-one ever. Except you of course, in this post. So actually said 1 person ever.
  • The board are far from perfect and I am sure the fans of other clubs moan about their boards/owners aswell. I am however pleased we are owned by people who go to games and are not some faceless billionaire's plaything. They get things wrong but so does everybody , they are doing a decent if unspectacular job but I think we are slowly edging towards being in a decent position as club, once the debt is cleared, to move forward. There are plenty of clubs in Championship/League One etc who are testament to how a club can be badly run .

    No one in my opinion.

    Just look no further than our neighbours Charlton and Orient for proof.

    Id certainly take Pickford at Sunderland

    Spot on!

  • He's a decent keeper but I don't see that being our priority.
  • Agree with IH, none of the players in the relegation zone are an improvement on what we have already. Maybe we should look at players in the Championship who miss out on promotion.

    I would have gone for Sigurdsson but with Lanzini looking good in the central attacking midfield role I'm not sure where he'd fit in.
  • Personally think they've done "okay".

    They've annoyed me with their PR machine and the interest taken back on loans, plus the deferment of the remaining debts they're owed (unless it's because of transfer funds)....not happy about the way they sold the LS tickets but they have spent massive amounts in the transfer windows (compared to what we've seen before), don't like the way they go about certain things, but don't believe they need or should invest their life savings in the club and I like the way they've turned it around running it like a business. Just set the right expectation and stop spouting off.

    That is all.

    ;thumbsup

    Defoe would be a good signing and in my opinion would be an improvement on our strike force. Him and AC ... ;hmm

    I hope it is a priority ;hmm

    GK, RB, CM, LW, FW all needed. First team players as well
  • CM - Oriole Romeu
  • Wouldn't mind looking at Fernando, hasn't been an overwhelming success at City but I think he's underrated he does the simple stuff well and City are gonna want rid as he lacks the technique to play for Pep

    If he's going on the cheap and for a good wage might be a smart acquisition

    Would like to see us try for trippier, he's not a first teamer at Spurs and given they have this new expensive stadium think they will try to keep the spending to a minimum this summer

    lol on my facebook someone put that our last 20 goal a season striker was Teddy Sherringham over 12 years ago. West Ham have gone the 3rd longest period out of all PL teams without a 20-goal striker.

    Is that all CURRENT premier league teams?

    Or maybe some have had more prolific strikers but are now in the lower leagues?

    I'm not sure what you are actually comparing?

    Is it goals overall, or league goals?
  • Vorse, have made your comment about the current international match the start of a new thread ;ok
  • Carlton Cole rumoured to be joining my local club Billericay town. They have already signed Paul Koncesky and Jamie O'Hara is supposed to be announced tonight. Crazy times for a 7th tier football club !
  • Someone must be bankrolling it?
