All Hail Sullivan & Gold For Turning West Ham Around!

Unlike a couple of guys who post comments on here, I am more than happy to admit when I am proved wrong – and boy was I wrong about Sullivan and Gold, in the short term at least. They were decisive when they removed Zola, and whilst those who hate Grant will say the Avram appointment was more to do with the shared absence …

What are the most annoying clichés in modern football? – open thread

The funny old game is dead but the third round of the FA Cup showed that a new set of football phrases is alive and well No broadcaster worth his salt would compare a beaten footballer to a sick parrot these days, but the game remains as clichéd as ever.

Olsson or Warnock

West Ham have lodged a bid for Blackburn LB Martin Olsson and are waiting for Blackburns response. It’s a gamble the Hammers are playing because with Blackburn managerless they might not except anything until a new guy is at the helm. But considering Allardyce has just won compensation from Blackburn regarding Keane’s comments in public I cant see them doing any business with us! The other option will be Villa’s Stephen Warnock if the Olsson deal falls through. He…

Could be an interesting tie in the next round…

if we get past Man U that is! I’m sure Blackpool must be hoping upon all hopes we turn the Mancs over because they have unfinished business. Obviously they have to deal with Fulham as well but it’s going to be interesting if we do play each other because as far as they are concerned we denied them 30million big ones!

West Ham 2 Man Utd 2 – So unlucky!

I missed the game because my flight coincided with the kick off but, based on the highlights, we were bloody unlucky. And had Reid started ahead of Tomkins, I suspect we would have won! Cole looked like a man who has come home. His crosses for the goals were superb. Mind you, had his namesake been on the end of them, no goals would have resulted.The…
