I've not much to add here other than 

A. Are you west ham boys talking about that European version of the auto windshield trophy when your talking about you winning some silverware

 

B. To me once football clubs started referring to themselves as businesses then they lost all rights to be blindly supported, if they're a business they better provide a product people want, who wants to waste theyre money and time to watch boring crap so some overpaid mercenaries can keep drawing their 150k a week. If you take the social side of going to the football with your pals away what you left with? You dont need to go to a prem game and be disrespected by being forced to watch them all take a knee under threat of being banned for life if you make your feelings known to spend the affy with your mates you could watch a game of tiddly winks and have that, modern football can go and f**k itself I couldn't care less and honestly I hope we never win a WC Gareth Southgate and his merry band of losers don't represent anything I stand fo

A.......yes most definitely.....no its not a major trophy but its the biggest thing we've won in over 40 years....you see until recently we never claimed to be a big club so we have to enjoy these moments of success.

B......If everybody went to football as a form of " entertainment " then we'd all support Man City.....ask a Millwall fan why he blindly supports a club who dont " provide " an entertaining product ....or indeed 90% of any other regular club fans up and down the country.

Re the political stuff i totally agree but if you cant get away from it in your own front room why think you'd be able to get away from it at the footie....its everywhere.

We won’t agree on any of this mate, I think we can both see that.

To say you can’t play proper football because you now live in a new stadium just don’t make any sense.

If we had a coach that wanted to play it, we’d play it….simple as that.

And anything we did or didn’t win, any league position we did of didn’t get we’d know we did that at least trying to play nice football.

As I said before, just working to pick up the cheque for staying up is exactly the same as wanting the rich Arab owner in my book, it s just soul less nothing ! 

We wont agree because lads like you wont admit they f****d up !........you want to play proper football ( like we did at Upton Park ).....and a coach that wants to play it ( like we had at Upton Park ).......yet at the time you didnt give a bollock about all that you just wanted to be a big club ?

Did you think we would move to this ground and immediately employ a young modern coach who would build sides that played fast flowing carefree entertaining football,knowing that relegation and not being able to get back up would be catastrophic !.....if you dont understand that having a proven safe pair of hands like Moyse at a time when relegation is unthinkable then you are more naive than i thought mate.

Again,i dont particularly like the style of football myself but i know exactly why we are playing it.....and the fact that Moyse actually has the highest goals per game of any West Ham manager in Premier League history suggests that all things considered the move that YOU wanted has gone fantastically well....but now you's want the " play the right way/build for the future " model back again that we had when we was a little club  .....its comical mate !

Anyway,Kenilworth Rd tomorrow night....first time in 38 years....ooops !!!

Maybe you have completely forgotten or are choosing to deliberately ignore that we escaped relegation by the skin of our teeth last season, did you slip round and drop some tactical genius potion into Moyes hot chocolate in the close season or what ? 
 

what I’ll admit is it looks a like a a load of fans, you included, have gone and got totally out of their pram because we won a trinket and had some results against hard opposition…..now you sound like a load of spurs fans ! 
 

I suppose it depends if you go to watch your team play football or go to watch your team win, personally I like to watch both but I understand there is this modern LA Lakers mentality that don’t give a f**k about all that just as long as the scoreboard looks right and they can see the biggest “stars” before they go off and do something else for the day.

Im a football fan, I want to watch football and that used to mean something at West Ham which loads of lads like you seem to have forgot…..blaming a move to a proper facility for dross football is total f***ing nonsense any way you dress it up.

All this hysterical relegation is “catastrophic” & “unthinkable”, calm down !……for starters our rent gets halved to £1.25 million a year if we go down and secondly no doubt there will be relegation clauses in all player contracts.

Going down don’t scare me at all because I couldn’t give a f**k about seeing all the top stars, I just care about watching proper football in a club trying to do things properly.

As for the “you didn’t want our old ground” bollocks, I can drive to lands end in a busted up 30 years old Ford Fiesta and I’ll have a good excuse if I break down and don’t make it, but I’d rather do it in a brand new Range Rover and have no f***ing excuses.

Winning is great but if you go football then you want to see some football, get the football right and the other stuff happens on its own. 

Lads like you keep telling lads like me we don’t know our own club, it’s lads like you have lost your way by the looks of it, it’s all gone to your head mate.

If I remember right, didn’t some speccy little hammers fan iron one of your mob out back earlier in the year ?  

 

Just had some gutting news, my old local non league club has gone into liquidation and is finished  

I played down there, my boy played down there, had some great games and great nights down there with my team, my pals, my kids……very sad.

If old slab head is picked again he must have some shit on Southgate

Some decent games on this weekend West ham v city toon v Brentford and utd Brighton that young lad Evans upfront at Brighton looks a decent player Brighton have some scouting system in place when you see how players they have sold for big money and just seem to replace them no problem I see there's still some issues with sancho and ten haig doubt he will get much game time now

Looks like ten haig  is starting to come under pressure now but I don't take anything away from a good Brighton team and performance they got there tactics spot on and played it brilliantly to a man wolves should of been at least 3 up at half time would of been a different game then  but fair play to klopp he changed things at half time and they took there chances watched are game a good match to watch every credit to Plymouth a good team and a decent away support given the distance fans did themselves proud but we're back top  again @steve66 another good win for you Steve im surprised at boro and there position  what do you think as there's some rumours Mowbray may be going there if they pot Carrick
