TUFFTY 1,476 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 It will be one big family party. Some pissed and asleep in the corner, Some screaming and shouting. Some crying. But everyone will be blowing those bubbles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,771 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 What souvenirs have ye got gnash? Sure will be a sad day for yous tomorrow, but always think positive Just a few small things of sentimental value mate i wont bore you with the stories behind them.........i did manage to get the centre spot years ago and put it in a raised flower bed in the garden......didnt quite have the effect i was hoping for in all honesty Big new ground ,big fan base London club ....do you think the owners will hold out when the big offers come in from the Russians orArabs or the far east ,because I expect they will come thick and fast now . I dont think they will Stan.... David Gold is an old man who has achieved his dream.....both of their families are well looked after i like to think they have more about them than to sell out.....but who knows......personally i think a lot will change and it will never be the same again which is why for me its the end of an era and the point at which i,ll step back and become a " normal " fan. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 44,566 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Just for those who dont get why we dont want to leave Upton Park have a little listen to my ol mucker Gary we are the same generation been seeing each other at football for 35 years and completely understands the club and the people......and theres thousands more just like us. I'm sitting here this morning feeling a bit gutted, that bloke nearly bought a tear to a glass eye.........perfectly put at the end, perfectly. "I don't wanna be that team....." Only West Ham lads will ever understand that thinking. Thanks for sharing that mate, spot on for the occasion I reckon 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,771 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Just been looking on some of these youtube things the last few days theres some good stuff on there. I like this one.....when ol man Gardiner says " its crap here....but its our crap ".......so true........any Hammer of our generation knows Bill he is probably the only man in my life i have ever been frightened of he was like the evil step father to us teenagers back then you just didnt want to let him down and went that extra mile just to get that encouraging wink or pat on the back from him......today he would be seen as scum but he was someone we all looked up to and stood us in good stead for adult life....proper old school values that growing up round here you just had even if your parents didnt give them to you.... whatever all us scruffy little fuckers round here ever amounted to in life is irrelevant we all owe Upton Park so much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHDY1bXRHeI 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,725 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 West Ham are one of those teams that every fan has a bit of affection for. As has been said, they provided the nucleus of the 66 world cup team and traditionally play open, attacking entertaining football. Having said that, Hurst was imo a very average player and i hope they get stuffed tonight. As a genuine Man u fan (born 1/2 mile from the ground) I hope we stuff them tonight and piss off the West Ham crowd big time. Love West Ham always good for three points.

Peter Leemooch 160 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 the thing i have found about West Ham is there is no class barriers they have fans what are millionaires mixed in with factory workers or market traders all treating each other the same like that clip gold stops to talk to a lad on a stall there no snobbery if somebody does well. the explanation i got is nobody round here is born with a silver spoon in there mouth lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
