    A big, half empty, white elephant if thry drop down this season. Here's hoping.

    I always had a soft spot for West Ham and their fans up until we fell out over you know who. And of course Sir Alf was. Hammer. They don’t make em like this anymore or even show the old episodes. Fortunately, thst doesn’t apply to YouTube...

    I never wish for bad things to happen to any team in the thought that it comes back to bite you in the bum. I'm not laughing
    at them but I do believe that if our fans had acted like that then a points deduction would have been considered and possibily
    advocated by the press.

    True West Ham fans would have said a thank you to Bobby yesterday. Twenty five years ago I was in tears when I heard the news
    travelling home from work, it got to me so I had to leave the motorway early and take a break to pull myself together. Thanks you Bobby for your leadership in 66 - God bless.

    Its a great athletics stadium - but not a great footie stadium IHMO. They have shambled their way to the position they are currently in with a mixture of dodgy deals and bad management - not to mention their owners. I would love to see them relegated but I have wished this before and it has never happened - so keeping quiet this time.

    Come on Stoke!

    PS - big improvement on the avatar........I particularly like the shade of pink

    And the spin starts.

    " It was only 4 fans out of over 50k that went on the pitch" Goals on Sunday just now.

    Maybe we should be thanking the West Ham 4 for raising the profile of those oppressed by football's greed.

    and didn't they tread all over Orient in their race to the Olympic Stadium?

    Utter shysters

    They can f**k right off as far as I'm concerned

    Couldn't happen to a nicer club

    Don't worry, Sir Trevor will burst into tears and the football authorities will put their arm round him and tell him nothing's going to happen.
