Never in the history of our Football Club has our home games been delayed to let a Somalian run round our pitch.
Legends in your own lunch time you lot.
If they pull this off Talksaft I doubt I'll be around to worry about it :D Also 2 of the goals that won the World Cup were iffy. One didn't cross the line, the other there were people on the pitch and the game should have been stopped. Spammers didn't win us the World Cup, the ref did!
West'Ham's'highest'ever'finish'is'3rd.Wow

:D :D :D Fair play to you talkSAFT, where dya pull that haymaker from, end of discussion.
Surprised man utd were so low and how high the Villa are considering our league form between 1936 - mid 70s. Also how high the cartoon army are, considering how sh1te they’ve been all my life (53 years).
Back on topic Re. Barry, he started with us as a LB/CH. I always thought he would end up as sitting in front of the back 4. He’ll do well for you but expect a few red/yellow cards; think he holds the record. Not really because of his age, he’s just never been able to resist the ‘impossible’ tackle. He never had pace in the first place so he aint lost a yard, but has a wand of a left foot. Brunt, Barry and McClean, that’s your left side sorted, if you can cope with the inevitable suspensions in all 3 positions.
Shrewd signing for a season free.
Am I being thick here? We were one of the founder members of the Football league in 1888. West Ham didn't join until 1919 according to Wicki. In other words we had 31 years more to get points in this league table at a time when there were not that many clubs anyway?
That said, even if I am being thick, we are a great club with a fantastic heritage, founder members of the FL and West Ham cannot compare with that, even if they did win the World Cup on their own!!! (Joke - or is that Bishop Auckland, another big club).
I pulled all the data from a Football League website a few years ago, and I update it every May. It's quite easy using Excel, and taking account of name-changes etc.
Yarmbaggie's right: we do have a fair few years start, but I did say it was The All-Time League Placings, so it's West Ham's fault they were probably playing in the Walford and District League while we were trailblazing in the national League.
Don't forget, though, that the League Winners of 1888 (PNE) only get 12 pts - and we get 6 (it all depends on how many Clubs in the League). This is all to show no bias - I could have given us 86 pts that Year!
I admit to not having read much at all of this thread but noticed the Hammers being mentioned. They are only a big club in the minds of most residents of east London and Es***, where a great majority of their fans come from. I know many Es*** based fans who readily admit to supporting two teams e.g West Ham and Southend. Even east Londoners supporting Orient and West Ham. It is a very strange set of affairs. Anyway, many of their fans have inflated opinion of the club's status and relevance. Please excuse any typos as I am pi55ed.
