stewie 3,387 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Well he is a West Ham fan so he cant be all bad.....spent about 4 years in our youth team if i remember right................ In all honesty i was probably being a bit of a dick moaning about our performance.........last April our away days were Barnsley and Bristol City he is a romford boy if im right??? you werent being a dick tho gnash...........your in the same league so expect a premier league performance, although, like me, your team aint got a chance of winning it.......... but to be honest mate the future of west ham is bright.........i no you dont want the new stadium etc BUT in this day an age the game is what it is and a premier league club in london with a massive shiny new stadium is an attractive prospect for someone with serious money!!!! im sure in a few years you wont be moaning about an away draw at anfield............more like a semi final loss to barca in the champs league.........and even if its a different west ham to what you grew up with would you REALLY prefer it not to happen???? genuine question mate..........

My clubs Celtic(incase anyone didn't know ) I'd hate them to move down to the English prem. yes Scottish football is shite but its my shite Scottish football. I've grown up watching my team play these teams, many happy memories, a lot of sad, frustrating ones. I don't want that to change. We are what we are and I love it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And by the way........as much as i admire that Gerrard performance....and as much as it devastated me at the time.................for me that goal was tainted !......We had just sportingly put the ball out because of an injury and instead of returning it they f****d off up the other end and scored.............i suppose sportsmanship go,s out the window in the 90th minute of a cup final..................but it still didnt sit right with me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,476 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Alan Ball was manager of Exeter for a bit, his lad, Jimmy, played for their u17's... We used to play them in our league, this one game Alan was watching it was 1-1 and my mate scored a screamer not long to go, we went mad run up to Jimmy and gave him a bit ( he was a right little twat on the pitch) my mate ran over to Alan Ball and gave him a bit ( dis respectful I know, but being 16 is the only excuse lol)... Alan started rant in his high pitched squeal how we would be taken to a tribunal ( what??) bunch of louts etc lol.... We ended up losing 3-2... At least I can say I was bollocked by a World Cup winner lol.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
