    I think he is Fletcher's replacement....give or take a few years....He seems fit and eager....but just think for midfield...a bit iffy....

    The Hammers are clearly a bigger name club. And have won a European trophy in it's history which you can't boast.

    So you have 2 stats. Sorry that dont impressa me much. Every club has stats better than other clubs. If you take the history of football I think you will find we are up with the best of them.
    Oh and wait! we have a better record home attendance than West ham !

    Agreed DB, a replacement for Fletcher. Judging by last season, a good replacement, much better then Fletcher was imo.

    West Ham are a bunch of spivs run by a couple of dirty old pimps who make money out of young girls.

    Your club is classless.

    The way you've treated some of your old players and the manner in which you've sacked some of your managers says everything anybody needs to know.

    You're a bunch of cockney wide boys who somehow think they should be up there with the big clubs but never are.

    You wonder why everybody hates you. Now you know.

    I'd be very interested to know what criteria they used. It certainly can't be anything to do with success in the game. Any tables that I have seen have West Ham always behind Albion.

    One's better than none.

    Fact is you're team is a tenant in a ground you can play in subject to an Athletics tournament.

    I still remember stevie g breaking those jam tarts in that fa cup final.

    Cor blimey guvnor I bet you couldn't Adam and Eve when that rocket hit the pocket.

    You had to cancel your knees up mother brown and jellied eels.

    You seem to like your history though. So do you know what happened to your team in 1966?

    And before, you say it, it's not your dog s hit club claiming to win the world cup.

    All-time League placings upto 2017

    No consideration is given to points accumulated, games won, or goals scored.
    Based purely on League position since The Football League's inauguration (1888) these are the top 40 Clubs.

    The League champions are awarded 92 League pts,
    whilst the bottom team in League 2 are awarded 1 League point.

    (Between 1924 and 1950, there were only 88 Clubs in the League,
    and so the League champions gained 88 League pts.
    Between 1888 (12 Clubs) and 1923 (86 Clubs) there were varying
    nos of League members. The Champs get 12 pts (for example) for
    winning the 1888-89 season,
    When there were 2 Division 3s (North & South), the winners would have
    each received 49 pts, whilst the runners-up both got 47.)

    1 Liverpool 8,203
    2 Arsenal 8,153
    3 Everton 8,067
    4 Manchester United 7,987
    5 Aston Villa 7,847
    6 Manchester City 7,571
    7 Newcastle United 7,517
    8 Tottenham Hotspur 7,396
    9 Sunderland 7,387
    10 Chelsea 7,356
    11 West Bromwich Albion 7,118
    12 Blackburn Rovers 6,908
    13 Derby County 6,817
    14 Wolverhampton Wanderers 6,742
    15 Sheffield Wednesday 6,739
    16 Middlesbrough 6,705
    17 Bolton Wanderers 6,697
    18 Sheffield United 6,620
    19 West Ham United 6,595
    20 Birmingham City 6,584
    21 Leicester City 6,545
    22 Nottingham Forest 6,529
    23 Leeds United 6,505
    24 Stoke City 6,421
    25 Burnley 6,044
    26 Southampton 5,953
    27 Preston North End 5,668
    28 Portsmouth 5,380
    29 Fulham 5,310
    30 Huddersfield Town 5,276
    31 Charlton Athletic 5,240
    32 Blackpool 5,095
    33 Coventry City 5,068
    34 Norwich City 4,900
    35 Queens Park Rangers 4,734
    36 Ipswich Town 4,713
    37 Cardiff City 4,544
    38 Crystal Palace 4,537
    39 Bristol City 4,406
    40 Barnsley 4,343

    We're 523 pts above the Cockneys. To put that into perspective, they need to finish a full 20 places above us for the next 26 years before I would consider calling them a bigger Club, and both TopMan and myself will probably be Uncle Ned by then.
