so its been decided to close the transfer window in England before the season starts...i think this can only be good for the game and players but only if the rest of Europes big leagues follow suit..Rumours are Italy are looking at doing the same thing....but i would go one step further and make the summer transfer window the only one..no january window for the top division clubs..this would then force clubs to utilise the youth at there clubs if an injury crisis arises instead of overlooking there own academies and just buying ready made players short term....this would benefit clubs academies greatly IMO and maybe open the eyes of club owners that you don't have to spend silly money to find players

I think its the only thing that can save us ,ultra rich billionaires from the middle east lookin for a hobby ,yep i think it might be that stark i believe we have to get out of that gold fish bowl and build anew stadium and of course call it the Boleyn grownd ,these two fukers have had their day with their tight fisted way of doing things their nuffin bout scheming gob shites who are on the brink of destroying one of the best clubs in world football ,i know a lot of you will say "come on mate its not that serious we've been down before and we've always bounced back ",the difference is this time i dont believe we will bounce back mainly because of one thing that bloody stadium we've lost our identity and as some one on here mentioned we could end up like Coventry or even the once mighty Leeds utd i bet their fans never thought it would happen to them either ,ok they got out of div 1 but they look like spending an eternity in the chumps but even they never lost their home ground although attendance has drastically gone south it still Ellen rd still looks like a nice compact ground and more importantly they dont have to stop playing there for a month because some geezers want to run around it 25 times, lets be totally honest to most of us west ham are the second most important thing in our lives ,besides our family's ,im not a million years away from 70 now like a lot of you it was 64 that started me ,through all the glory and all the pain in football you are true to your club and when they bleed you bleed .just to steal a little quote from Shankly "to me west ham isnt a matter of life or death ,its far more important.

to be honest glad the circus is over. we didnt sign anyone but didnt lose anyone of note either. personally I think the squad is ok, could be better but its still decent. we just need the manager to sort things out and start using a consistent system that brings out the best in them.

Just had my dinner, and was informed that her in doors was defrosting the freezer. Oh god not again! Anyway in our house that generally means I get a miss match of stuff that needs to be used up along with anything out of date to go with it. As I past through the kitchen, I have just witnessed the drabbest dinner ever. It looked like it had been scraped from the back of the cooker and heated up! Hardly a rainbow of colours unless you think a dark greeny black along with beige jelly type substance. Quite honesty I expect to see this in a new bush tucker trial. Got me thinking. Has anyone, their partners or ex partners had any culinary or physical accidents in the kitchen?

Soon to sign for West Ham[edit]
Will be unveiled as a deadline day signing for West Ham United in England. As he steps off the bench to come on for his debut against Huddersfield Slaven Bilic will ask him where he wants to play. He'll say up front and Bilic will play him at Right Back, a decision the player will later say ruined his career. Upon coming onto the field, he will remove his mask to reveal he is actually Carlton Cole....and the West Ham fans will go mental. Always believe. Tottenham Hotspur will soon after place a bid for him in the region of £30 million. Then Slaven will whisper sweet words of goodbye as Carlton (formerly known as Abdul) pops into a taxi to White Hart Lane

What's going on: Sakho deal (£9M) nearly done, Ogbonna on his way out. Is the club just taking the piss? Net profit? No deal for Carvalho? Anybody have vision about these things?

so Arsenal in crisis after putting in a performance even worse than west ham against liverpool….and wenger's answer has been decisive….sell oxlade chamberlain the cause of all the ills….and bring in…yes wait for it……Johnny Evans. lol. you have to laugh. First Leicester wanted him, then Man C and now Arsenal? Wenger must be sitting in the office scratching his head 'well how do i fix this mess this time?' he picks up the papers….Man City want Evans…..'ah there we go…Johnny is the answer'

no real surprise. the board say he's staying for the time being. whether this means he's been told to get a result v huddersfield or 3 wins out of 5 etc who knows. I'm hearing a lot of sacking him would be 'harsh' after just 3 games etc. fair enough its only 3 games and they were all away. however two out of the 3 were winnable ones. also the manner of the 3 losses is a big concern. add to this the fact that once again the season kicks off and the players look no where near up for it…and i do wonder why Bilic is being paid. we are not the ones making the decisions, we are at the mercy of the board and manager. so i guess its the old 'lets get behind the team' mantra for now. hopefully we see a big improvement against huddersfield, i suspect we can't be any worse. however they are a team full of confidence and playing in a manner we won't like….pressing and pace. lets hope we match them at least in energy.
