You are making my points for me Wilf....ultimately the move was about success on the pitch....no ?.....taking us onto the next level .....no ?......attracting the worlds great players.....no ?....... thats the reasons you all gave for supporting the move. Well where is it ?.....your " when the whistle blows,the battle,the blood and guts of the arena " ....all sounds nice and gritty but we,re in a relegation battle ffs....as a sporting competitor we,ve gone backwards ?
-
I dont want to sound all soppy and sentimental but our club motto was " Moore than just a football club ".....which for my generation it was,it was a community......when the current owners came along i was chuffed to bits i admired David Gold a great deal......but as soon as the new ground was mentioned i was done with them.....its not a new manager thats going to make the difference its new owners.....but the trouble is now for chaps like me is we have gone too far to turn back but not far enough to make change.....this has all been set up for a foreign investor to roll in and sweep us off ou
-
Wilf i dont disagree with what your saying............but again.....you wanted this move so you obviously bought into what the owners were promising.....so why aint you bursting their doors down demanding what you was promised ?...........me im not demanding anything because i didnt believe a word of it in the first place.....i didnt want the move i was happy with what we was,i liked my club........you wanted something bigger and better yet instead of demanding something bigger and better you want back the principals we already had. David Sullivan lives about 400 yards from me ive spoken

Is that a thread on here you mean mate ?.....must of missed that i wouldnt mind giving it the once over if you could point me in the right direction ? Since the move i cant even drive past the old ground,even in a black cab i ask the driver to avoid the Green St/Barking Rd junction it just upsets me too much to see it as it is today people show me pictures and tell me about different businesses and locals that have gone and it breaks my heart i have so many memories,friendships and love for the place its like constantly seeing an ex girlfriend you dont want to keep being reminded of what

Ive never had nothing to do with the EDL either so dont lump me in with them pricks !
-
So what your saying is you wanted the move,you wanted the whole " big club " thing and " a brand " to keep up with the modern football world taking us to the " next level " and creating the instant success we was promised etc etc.....but now your " brand " isnt quite working out how you hoped it would and all the promises of European football,top 6 finishes,attracting the worlds elite players isnt quite materialising your getting all sentimental for the old traditions and principals that made us the club we were and your happy to drop down a division like we used to..........in other words ins

It does make me laugh all this jockeying for position and reaching the highest point possible without having to take a punch !.... its one thing i like about Joshua he is the realist most down to earth fighter up there.....look at the facts.....of the current top crop of heavyweights Joshua has beaten 4 of them.....Wilder has beaten 1 of them.....and Fury has beaten 0 of them !.....yet Joshua is the one under pressure to fight mandatories ?.....what happened to FIGHTING your way into position as a challenger,now they just stand in a queue. It would be nice now if Joshua was able to say "

Excellent mate thats perfect thankyou....an Englishman as well,most of this sort of stuff on Youtube seems to be Yanks. I,ll have a quiet hour alone with that later thanks again mate.
-
You said a few posts back you would accept relegation how is that demanding more ?
-
I was so proud when Gold and Sullivan took over,local lad off the manor done good....to me that was bragging rights especially when you see clubs getting by on foreign investment.........but that pride in the area can only take you so far.....now im seething with the c**ts ?......they have made terrible decisions and taken away everything we was proud of....they have given us 5 managers in 9 years,4 of which have no affiliation with the club,the academy was all but broken up on the say so of a silly fat bloke.....i never bought into their promises so i dont expect anything different....but tho
-
Id prefer to of stayed where we was mate but the clubs bigger than me and my generation of fans i get that so have accepted moving....but its got to of been for a reason and there has to be a benefit otherwise who gains anything.
-
Whether people like it or not there are a lot of similarities between Joshua and big Frank....neither of them were natural fighters,both had to be " taught " most of what they became.....both fantastic physical specimens and good athletes but both very limited movement wise.....both bangers that had to be trained to fight disciplined fights and didnt have the ring iq to problem solve on their own......both had stamina issues due to a very tight and rigid style.....although Joshua seems to have cracked that looking at him the other day he looked much more relaxed and stayed the distance much be
-
I think its 12 out of 17 managers in our history have been ex players/staff etc....the 4 you mention probably dont have 10 years between them......now ok i know theres no room for sentiment in todays game but just dragging in any ol prick because he used to manage big clubs doesnt make you a big club. Look i know theres no magic recipe all i want to know is why fans who bought into all the bollocks and wanted the move are not screaming the place down demanding what we was all promised !
-
What do you mean it wasnt standard stuff.....no of course it wasnt....but thats good right ? In the last 3 seasons at the old gaff we went from finishing 13th with 40 points......to finishing 12th the next year with 47 points......to finishing 7th the next year with 62 points......thats excellent and steady progress.....no ?......so what do you mean we had f**k all in a football sense ? You say it doesnt wash and then say what you want is a football team playing the best football and being the most competitive it can at all times.......but again.....thats exactly what we had. A
-
The manager wouldnt be the same if we was at Upton Park....as a 2 bob club at Upton Park we usually went with ex players or at least managers who had an affiliation with the club.....so ok we move grounds trying to do the " big club " thing and pitch up with a big name manager who managed Real Madrid and Man City.
-
Because you all wanted us to become a big club and thats what big clubs do. I disagree......yes we all loved Upton Park and didnt want to move for emotional reasons as well but purely from a football perspective we have lost our identity as a club. But we had all that.....we had probably the greatest most successful academy of football in the country.....we had a young vibrant manager with a do or die attitude playing fast attacking football....we had everything in place.....our last year at the old gaff was one of the most enjoyable seasons ive ever had as a West

Thankyou squire though im told tiny birds are not the easiest thing for a beginner....i dont know if ive asked a top secret question or maybe just nobody comes on this part of the forum ?
-
You cant tell me that after patiently sitting here all this time eagerly awaiting some pictures of the fantastic experience you had this weekend that you now cant even post them up !!!
-
Its really going to sound like im picking on you Wilf ?....im not its just this is an argument i have all the time with people like yourself who wanted the move.....you wanted the move to be a big modern day club and compete with the best at big modern day football....well why on earth are you now willing to accept lower league football !!! The bargaining tool used to get silly traditional ol fuckers like me on board was " competing with the biggest clubs in the world ".....i didnt particularly want to do that i was happy with what we had....but lads like you Wilf bought into all that fla
-
I cant be f****d with all the nonsense at heavyweight i dont even bother keeping track its just tedious and boring.....but regards coin lets have it right for a minute....the money maker in the heavyweight division is Anthony Joshua no ifs buts or maybes.....ask any current fighter,trainer,promoter,manager,announcer,security guard or ring girl who is responsible for the numbers game in British boxing today and they,ll tell you Joshua......Wilder has limited appeal as the Yanks simply havent taken to him and boxing in recent years is suffering there....and Fury sells tickets like old people f**
-
Sorry if it seems like im digging you out mate im not you know the club as well as me....but this was always going to be the type of issue we would come up against by making the decision to be " a big club ".......chucking money at it is what big clubs do Wilf !.....i know i harp on about it but i never wanted to be a big club in a shiny big ground i was happy with being a shit club in a shit ground but people like me was ignored.....so ok we go along with it as we love the club but then as soon as our expectations become that of fans of big clubs we get told " slow down son we,re only West Ha

Is there a book or website anyone would recommend on the absolute basics of Taxidermy ?.....and is there any legalities in the Uk to any random Joe having a go at a squirrel or small bird etc ?
-
Well Haringey is a culturally enriched borough so at least it beats raping and pillaging on a Saturday afternoon. No be positive mate if we beat them 7 nil we go above them in the table ?
-
The funniest thing for me last night was sitting watching on the telly and an old pal of mine and ex fighter from West Ham Dean Hollington comes up on the screen in front of millions of people blatantly doing a selfie with Canelo Alvarez.....Deans on the British Board of Control these days so was there for good reason but that was unforgivable he,ll take some serious ribbing for that what a mug ?

Thats right Sheff Weds i think we,ve chatted before.....funny days eh mate !
