[quote="Hammerman69"]Last post so won't be an issue. No mate...I am bemused at some of the ******** that is posted over and over again. Youth, 'the west ham way' etc. I understand people are longing for something that is long gone...fine. I'd love it to be that way too...difference is I can see how moaning over and over again really makes no difference.

Yes, I made the comment about the back 4 a number of times in the vague hope that some people on here would want to talk about the football being this is a football board but no, all there is is negativity about how we should be playing the way we played in the 80s and that we should be bringing through this mythical group of fantastic youth players.
I have no problem with criticism when we play poorly, lose games we should win, make bad decisions etc but if you can criticise you have to be positive when things go well and some people on here are too blinded by hatred. If we won the CL like Chelsea did, peop

What you have probably overlooked 69 is that we are Brits.

And let's face it the only thing we are world class at any more is whingeing. And that's not the exclusive province of Hammers fans either.

Sad, but also true.

Regarding 69's "most ridiculous post" comment.

I'm sure there have been worse but I dont think that aberration deserved your broadside, Bonzo.

His posts,originally very objective, have gradually moved to conforming to the general confrontational style we have on here.

Perhaps it's new to him,this free for all...changing from reporting mode to banter is quite a skill,(which you have mastered,mate ) so he should have been excused his outburst.

I hope not Mike, I'm certainly very sorry if it was construed as personal. I repeatedly told him that I enjoy his posts and tried to keep my observations pertinent to what he posted.


Clearly I have constructed my posts very poorly if 69 has decided to leave because of me, rather than catch the gist of what I was trying to say.

The way I judged it he was far ruder to the poster than I was to him but I apologise if I got it wrong. If you as an impartial observer (and one of the boards old farts ) think I went too far then clearly I have.

You couldn't have predicted the outcome...

He seemed of mature years...just hadn't gauged the tone of this kind off board,I guess.

99% of the posters would have dug out an old embarrassing post of yours and told you to do one.

No, No, No... I have not misjudged the board and its type of humour. I don't have a problem with that or anyone on here.
Just to be clear, I'm not leaving the board because of Bonzo or any other person here individually, not his opinions or his comments.

I'm leaving because the negative comments are too repetitive and its not at all balanced even when we do well so its nothing personal.
And I have no problem with negativity when its called for but I do when its for negativity sake.

Hope that helps

PS I am not of mature years you cheeky so and so ... I'm 44 mate...but then again, maybe that is mature nowadays
