    You have said what most people say....BUT....this is not a buying club,never has been.....West Ham have a fantastic tradition of bringing through young local players and has done a better job of it than any other club in England....that is what this club was built on.....not buying average foreign players picking up a wage packet ! Avram Grant has a reputation for buying abroad.....these are players no better than we have coming through the reserves they just get wages with a few more 00,s on the end ! We dont need to attract players simple as that,we just need to return to our traditions of

    The program didnt come up with anything new most of it was 10 years old !...Personally i think it will be a joke if we dont get it,we are one of the worlds leading footballing nations regardless what happens on the pitch,we have some of the greatest stadiums,our security,transport etc etc can match anywhere in the world.....the fact we havent had it since 66 yet Spain are in the running to get it when they had it in 82 is ridiculous. Ive got a feeling FIFA are going to cop the attitude of " taking football to every corner of the world " ...and give it to Russia.... If it was best bid and b

    Nothing to do with that mate....you,ll find most genuine West Ham fans have the same attitude as me.....we should of gone down last year and anyone who go,s down their regular knew it was going to be worse this year.....our attitude is,rather than continually hanging on by our fingertips every year and being over the moon if we stay up......go back to basics and build the side up like we did a few years ago....it worked then and it will work again....this club is bigger and better than hanging on in relegation battles year in year out.....we just need a tidy up. Only for financial reasons is

    And mighty Manchester Utd can only beat whats in front of them as well.....so you would think playing a bottom of the table side with its 3 best players missing would amount to slightly more than being played off the park in a one sided 4 nil defeat..... You see when your used to losing you accept it and say well done with a handshake....when your not used to losing you give backhanded compliments like " well done you can only beat whats in front of you " Those Utd players last night thought that wearing the club badge was enough to guarentee victory and it wasnt.....couple that with

    You say that Malt buts its worth remembering we had our 3 best players out last night,Parker,Noble and Piquionne have been our ONLY players this season who have been on their game.....thats a disadvantage that dont compare to Utd having " some " of their players out when our best players are not really on par with Utds replacements !....the reality is Ferguson disrespected West Ham and thought the team he put out was good enough for a comfortable win.....when the truth is the 11 men playing for West Ham out worked,out fought and out played the 11 men playing for Man utd.... That dont make us

    I was kind of hoping you would bring a pal as that means ive gotta drag the ol woman along cant have your little lady lost in the middle of 20 hairey arsed blokes....but thats ok she always moans i dont take her out Drop me a pm nearer the time and we,ll sort it..... Dont get me wrong if i was 25 again i wouldnt fancy a box....but later in life priorities change im sure you,ll agree if you got grown up kids yourself..... Anyway....we,ll probably be mathematically down by then so the atmosphere will be shit Also,the reason there shit at old trafford is they are nearly all owned by

    Im hovvering round the half century mate....my days of rucking on the terraces and singing like a teenager are long gone.....that dont mean my loyalty and support for the team i love has gone as well !.....im into comfort these days i spose its what they call growing up.....and yes i go to 75 % of away games every season,no its not the same comfort as at home or the same thrill as when i was young but thats what supporters of their team do,they rough it at times ! So,you think theres no atmosphere in a box.....heres an invite for you,i dont know you from adam but you seem an ok chap...next

    Cant say i disagree with much of that....just dont question my loyalty and support for my team. As regards boxes....no turnstyles,no queueing,parking inside the ground,food and drink on tap......and i dont care what you say about poncey toffee nosed Chelsea this is East London mate and it dont matter where in this ground you are theres atmosphere !

    [ "proper hammer" yet he had to ask his mates what they were singing... I think the lads who go are proper hammers!! Pay attention son or you just make a prick of yourself......im tucked up in bed with flu !.....ive been following my team home and away since i was ten years old.....was a season ticket holder for 25 years until i was fortunate enough to be in a good enough financial position to own a box....which myself and pals/aquaintances fill every week......infact...... If you can find a more loyal and active supporter of their team on this whole forum id be very surprise

    Bang on with that post Wilf.....any lifelong Hammer like myself knows the frustration in supporting a team who produces world class footballers from the local area....and then sells them to make other clubs win titles !!.....Its a long road of pain with the odd moment of pleasure...personally id be happy to see us go down this season,last time we did we had a complete shake up and came back strong.....despite what seems like a great result it dont change the fact Avram Grant is not the future for this club,this was what i feared would happen in a way,a few good results and the reality will get

    Must admit i didnt see his fight the other night though im told he walked it.... Disgusting really lads innit....how such a talented and good fighter at the highest level that Froch is at gets such little coverage !....Maybe he should do what little wicky did and shove his face in front of anyone who will take notice of him ! Good solid fighter Froch i hope he continues to do well.

    Your missing the point mate.....i already moved to a fantastic area 10 years ago.....but i cant move my buisenesses,family and friends as well who all remain in an area i grew up in but now detest ! I dont want to live in a different culture i love my own culture....you do and thats fine......i dont think some folk appreciate the frustration others feel.

    Theres a big difference between going somewhere you are welcomed,where you are adding to the economy,where your cultures are the same.....and going somewhere that you are becoming a lifelong ponce living off that country amongst people who have nothing in common with and who dont want you there !
  16. gnasher16
    I can believe it....im over the opposite side but i chose to move away but still have buiseness/family/friends there so its a place i frequent regularly....Hounslow is not England anymore as are many of the places on the fringes of London,the contrast between somewhere like Byfleet or Sunbury and Hounslow is unbelievable...extreme wealth to extreme shit within 5 miles !.....the shit is overspilling from the big cities,i mean how far can you run before you start to believe a complete move away is possibly best....

    So whos to know he,s the only driver then ? unless of course he offers up the information ....surely if he had a dink and was asked if he is the only driver he could say " errr no my dad drives it mostly " Feel sorry for younguns these days insurance is one of the biggest scandalous robberies going.....what other buiseness can take thousands of pounds off you without ever giving you anything back !...as far as im concerned no claims bonus should mean if you aint claimed have some money back not instead of 4000 we,ll charge you 3500. Daylight robbery insurance. 3rd party only is stil

    What a complete pile of nonsense !!...if you want to call me a c**t then thats cool but if you pay no attention to anything else pay attention to this...A DOG BITES HARD BECAUSE HE WANTS TO !....simple. A pit bull does not bite hard because he has powerful jaw muscles,ive seen dogs of this breed with poor head,poor neck and poor dentition that could bite like a croc....ive also seen dogs with big powerful strong head/jaw structure that couldnt break a crisp packet ! The fact a pitbull is outpowered by a rottweiler 3 times its size and weight proves what exactly ? As an old man onc

    You say that,but some of us are not thinking of moving to indulge in a different lifestyle...im perfectly happy with the lifestyle ive got now im just sick of being a foreigner in my own country...i can cope with the weather,i can cope with the life....i just cant cope with sharing with people i detest ! So if im moving abroad i want to be surrounded by my own kind in nice surroundings,if i want a different culture i might as well stay here !...ive already had to move away from an area i loved....if im going to move away from a country i love its not a decision im taking lightly or getting pl

    Be surprised if its as cheap as that its probably at least 2 hours labour alone thats without the belt kit or the service......depends what part of the country i spose but down this way your be looking closer to 300 i reckon....

    Its a fair point,must admit its not something i thought about while the kids were young or i was on the money chase....its only a bit later in life when theres no worries and nothing to keep me here that its seriously entered my thoughts,even so theres still so much id miss about England......and if im honest,like Attack Fell Terrier hinted at,id feel like im selling out on my own country,but there can be nothing worse than living with regrets....for me if i dont do it within the next 5 or 6 years i know i never will.
