  1. I dont know what im talking about any more than the next man does......but i do follow my club all round the country,do you ?
  2. [quote name='john*' timestamp='1301163660' post='1989890' get a grip lads with the money the epl teams get rangers an celtic would chalenge for cups what is man u an the rest teams dept That old chestnut again I remind you...it was YOUR Alex Ferguson who once said " the success of a team should be judged by the trophies they win,the success of a club should be judged by the players they produce " What players are Rangers/Celtic producing ?
  3. Maybe saying they was unheard of was an exaggeration.....but they are certainly not anywhere on par with clubs like Real Madrid,Barcelona,Man Utd,Liverpool,Arsenal and many others in terms of worldwide popularity......folk in China support Arsenal,as in they will come over to watch Arsenal v Wolves etc ......do folk in far flung corners of the world fly over to watch Celtic v Inverness CT ?....i dont know maybe they do you tell me......people who " choose " their club to support rather than being " born into " who they support tend to support the winning clubs of the time hence how many middle
  4. " I used to think you knew what you were talking about "... strange i dont know you from adam and certainly havent made a mental note of whether you talk sense or not,your a name on an internet screen nothing more nothing less whats with all the character assessments Stoke,Fulham,Bolton etc more often than not survive the premiership every year,something Celtic/Rangers would almost definately not do if they was down here.....if you dont want to come down here what you arguing about because we dont particularly want you.....when it comes to footballing success you certainly need us more
  5. Anyone going to the game ?..... heading off in a few hours going to make a wknd of it,hope its better than my last visit to the millenium my Hammers lost on penalties to the scousers 2006 Great stadium beats Wembley hands down for atmosphere in my opinion....shame about Bale still be a close game though i reckon...England to nick it 1 nil. It would be great to get back to the old home internationals rather than endless meaningless friendlies against Belarus and Azerbajan !
  6. Lovely picture,good lad......no matter how far he go,s that will be the trophy he remembers most,the first.....i could barely stand up at 6 never mind play footie,good on him.
  7. Labtastic you certainly have the most realistic and sensible outlook of any jock ive spoken to on the subject....i agree with all you say and it would be interesting to see. But this theory that if a billionaire came along all will be rosey applies to any club not just Rangers and Celtic...the likes of Stoke,Fulham,Bolton etc seem to hold their own without billions,so surely that theory could apply to them also. The only thing that gets on my nerves is listening to Scottish lads whingeing on about money and the English game when we all know the jocks detest every and anything English yet see
  8. Stone me cant you find a longer straw to clutch at !
  9. Looks a good player.....but certainly not proven over many seasons like the other names i mentioned im sure you would agree.
  10. What the f**k you on about ...if your bored go and do a crossword,since when is asking a question forcing an opinion,....a debate is just that,or is a debate only a debate if you stick strictly to the exact topic....stone me son dont get too down and defensive we,re only talking footie.... Yes your expressing opinions on how the old firm would do in the premier league.....but then you want to start saying with millions and billions they would probably do ok ...well bully ho why didnt i think of that....so we must stick strictly to whats being discussed and not veer away ....ok,if Rangers/
  11. fair comment....but like i said.....just one ?
  12. Yes but if it ALL comes down to money then surely even more reason to be producing your own players....West Ham over the years have become a feeder club,but i would estimate close to 100 million has been gained through selling players we brought through ourself.....rather than sitting whingeing about sky deals etc why not get out find and raise some top footballers to raise money. It seems to me football as a sport just isnt on the menu for youngsters up there,maybe im wrong......but Scotland had some great players in the past and it still had a 5 mill population then ! You make a sensible p
  13. 10 times maybe.....but its way more than 10....infact,tell me 1 ( yes just one ) player to come out of Scotland in the past 5 years on par with Beckham/Rooney/Lampard/Terry/Ferdinand etc....
  14. If we had money thats all yous ever say....not " if we could produce some good footballers " ......history is in the past mate,as people tell us West Ham fans constantly.... If ANY club could have the finances of Man City they would be a force to be reckoned with,not just Rangers and Celtic
  15. Like i said above.....no. I tend to feel we have a great history and tradition but in todays times,like many other clubs we have been left behind,clubs such as West Ham,Leeds,Wolves,Newcastle,Forest etc....are all pretty much on the same level. What i would say is West Ham always have and continue to produce top class footballers,something the big 2 dont do in Scotland.....
  16. Not dragging this out mate but can i just ask....do you donate to the rspca/pdsa ?....as far as im concerned if you dont put in you shouldnt take out.....and to think that owners of sporting/working dogs support and donate to that bunch of c**ts astonishes me.
  17. Theres only 2 clubs to support for f**k sake !!....Im not saying their not big clubs,the same way im not saying Leeds,Notts Forest and plenty of others are not big clubs.....but they are not big football teams in todays times.....a big ground wont bring success on the pitch,training facilities wont either,what have those training facilities done for young Scottish boys ! Settle into the premiership with ease ...personally i dont think they would survive the championship on the squads they have......Scottish giants and people take the piss out of me saying West Ham won the world cup ! Wel
  18. ...Is that before or after you have a 6 deep shield of plod around you !
  19. If the beg borrow steal option comes to nothing then it only leaves one option and thats to let the dog go.....unless of course your the type of person to " big up " the rspca/pdsa,make regular donations etc then crack on......trouble is i dont think many of us into working dogs have much time for the rspca ! What if i cunted you off morning noon and night then tomorrow morning turned up on your doorstep for a sub ?........to be honest i wouldnt lower my principals to do so.......and neither should this man be in my opinion. We,ll agree we disagree
  20. Insurance ? Being prepared ? Being responsible ?......you dont need a crystal ball when you have a common sense approach to things ....and thats all it is,common sense
  21. West Ham have supporters clubs in Tenerife,Poland,America,Jamaica.....are West Ham a big club,no !.....whats the difference between a " genuine " supporters club and one not genuine ? ....i holidayed in Hawaii some years ago and was amazed to see a huge flag and 1980 FA cup winners poster of West Ham in a local bar.....little did i know i had stumbled across a " West Ham supporters club ".......Chelsea are well supported in Cyprus,Arsenal have a huge following in China etc......dont really amount to much as regards " a following " does it. As regards the talented players in England compa
  22. oh ok fair enough i havent seen every post i didnt realise folk had resorted to personal insults...still not sure id call it bullying but i guess folk get brave on the internet and theres no need for it i agree I make the fella wrong myself but certainly not about to stamp my feet about it,its just an opinion thats all. Simoman its all well and good saying what if this and what if that......but the reality IS if you cant afford something you shouldnt have it,when that " thing " is an animal the only fair thing to do is give or sell it to somebody who CAN correctly care for it no matter
  23. Thought it was a pretty good and fair program....not too much ridiculous sensationalism like you would get on the equivalent program in England,looked like the hunting folk in general came off in a pretty good light
  24. Do you really believe that ? hand on heart ?.....what you have said to a point makes sense,BUT....why is there any reason to think Rangers or Celtic could play on level terms with the big 3 or 4 in England ?....Arsenal are a brilliantly run club making huge financial profits,they cant win anything and barely hold onto their top 4 status every season,so what makes you think Rangers/Celtic would find it so easy....what makes you think the big 2 up there could attract the worlds top players ? i think you delude yourselves to a point when it comes to the popularity of the 2 clubs on a world scale.
