fucking incredible. hope the fat cunt forgets to duck next time he gets out of his helicopter.

and yet oddly amongst the clamour for keane and at times allardyce poor peter reid gets overlooked despite taking them to their highest league placing for decades, twice. it's like they're happiest circling the bowl. as you say..... weird!

will be interesting next season, assuming we stay up. moyes has been pretty transformative at west ham in a 2 year period and in an era where we're told such things shouldn't be feasible and without the funds howe could have at his disposal. only takes a couple of players to transform a team, as robson proved with bellamy and robert. i see a title challenge next year.

they still hanker for the fucker now and for a bloke who walked out on them when he was failing over a decade ago!

aye. nowt wrong with that.

not so sure about the last bit. I think allardyce and the mackems were probably a marriage made in heaven. any attempt to rise above mediocrity is derided as delusional.

no nor me. I think MF's post was very reasonable in pointing out parallels. I think fish has been reasonable in pointing out the different starting points. and I think you're doing a canny job at mediation!

nah. take more than a league cup for that. a lot more. well for me anyway.

no what?

in fairness I don't think at any point MF was attempting a dissertation when comparing the 2 blokes, only referencing 'certain parellels' which most certainly exsist, albeit keegan started from a much lower base point.

I'd imagine reiver will be along soon to say penelope cruz told him on a yacht at the cannes film festival that elon musk is close to finalising a deal. followed by grumpy old man stating he's studied the accounts and louis-dreyfus is better off than PIF anyway. then they'll all be happy again.

the halcyon days of DELL appear to long gone....

didn't they not long ago borrow £10m off 3 dodgy yanks to repair the lift at the academy and upgrade the tannoy speakers?

got to be the easiest person in the world to wind up, like a child that won't learn. anyway, apparently every mag in east boldon got a battering as a consequence. no mackem has took a punch, ever. (™rtg)

I think we'd be at least 4 points better of already if he hadnt have inherited a squad which would've been hard pressed to win a game of walking football. hat well and truly doffed to the bloke from down here in bumpkin land.

had me reservations and thought his appointment was on the underwhelming side, based largely on the names being linked, though I freely admit my knowledge of european football had waned to the point I'd hadn't heard of half the fuckers anyway. think howe himself was more than aware he was playing second fiddle to emery and only got the job because the aforementioned bottled it. got nothing but respect for the fact he had the confidence in his own ability to take it on under those circumstances and I reckon he's doing a fucking superb job, speaks eloquently and professionally and is chalk and cheese to the moron who preceded him. like gemmil says above, he deserves the opportunity to grow with the club..... eddie howe's black and white army.

reminds me a bit of 02/03 when liverpool and chelsea seemed to conspire to gift us 3rd place. not taking nowt away from moyes but i don't think they're as good as their current league place suggests. they might well finish 4th seeing as no fucker else seems to want to, but equally they could quite feasibly finish 8th. west ham supporter on 606 last night on a massive rant about the owners not spending owt in january and not expecting them kicking on either this or next season.

she leaves trails like a snail for days before a van trip, the anticipation of a good sprinter seeing too gets a bit overwhelming.

I got my man utd ticket as a season ticket holders guest, cracking seat behind the goal in level 4 of the leazes. subsequent games against norwich, watford and villa I've been able to pick the same seat without any issue on the day the tickets have gone on general online sale. wasn't expecting that this morning, appears to have been a massive surge in interest, was nowt like that even getting a ticket for the spurs game after the takeover was officially announced.

appreciate the nod mate, I've promised the wife a weekend away in the van, so we're off to the brecons on friday. can't imagine you'll have any issues passing it on!

happy birthday, you absolute fucking legend!

got a ticket for the brighton game..... just! half an hour queue to get on the website with 1200 people ahead of me. only about a dozen seats available and site kept glitching when you clicked on one! assume it's sold out now.

brentford..... would love to hear from anybody who knows of a spare floating around for this one.

aye. hat doffed to fraser too, thought he had a decent game again. also dan burn, very reasonable debut. desperate for wood to get off the mark, and although obviously delighted with trippier's goal I would love to have seen wood bury the penalty had it went that way. I'd love it if we come against the abysmal west ham I watched against kidderminster last week, there's no reason to think we couldn't get a point. 4 out of the next 6 would be tremendous, and at the risk of getting carried away mid table starts to look very achievable.

could've done without the extra 7 minutes, nerves were shredded, however.... GET THE FUCK IN!
