Christmas has gone and we all know that pets are part of the family so i wish to show everyone here what responsible owners these people are and they deserve an award.

Whilst watching the marvellous victory over Wolves yesterday. Seeing Kudus & Paqueta sitting on the hoardings celebrating. It dawned upon me that West Ham now play in a full claret strip!
When & why did we stop playing with the traditional shirt with white shorts and socks? Got me thinking of how football was in the past. Pre- Premier League & how much better football & probably life was. Standing behind the goal in the old Southbank. Watching the greats. Bonds, Brooking, Devonshire to the teams featuring Bishop, Morley & Quinn. All wearing the Claret & Blue with white shorts and socks. Most teams seem to have lost their ID. Always remember Boro in a red strip with white stripe going across the chest. Birmingham with the Blue shirt & big white band running down the middle. The Sky Blue of Coventry with the Navy & White stripe running down each side of the chest.
Football used to be fun. Saturday afternoons were special. Midweek fixtures under the lights at Upton Park was something else. Stuart Slater ripping Everton apart in the QF of the FA Cup. What a night. Actually felt part of it. Was it because we were so close to the action.
It would be great. Even for just one game we could go back to retro kits. 1 substitute. No VAR. Divisions 1 to 4. Football was so easy then so much fun.

Calm down boys i'm talking about a football date as in change the start of the season to say start of October that way you get shot of two International breaks before the season starts and only have two disruptions to the premier league until March and finish the season say mid June we can all go away on our hols and not worry till October again.

Well that's going to open a can of worms.
I'm sure City, Chelsea and even Newcastle have/are getting away with worse. I'm not a great fan of Everton but I think this is unjustifiably harsh.

Gotcha my fellow orgs because sadly he is still with us for now but who would your choice be for our next manager?

1...Carrick

2...Gary O'Neil

3...Heitinga

4...Noble

5...Alonso

6...PDC

7...Thomas Frank

8...Potter

9...Kompany

10...Sarina Wiegman

11...Redknapp lol i no just could not resist pushing some buttons

Any of those tick the box for you or maybe you have some other ideas and what do you want to see from the new man and how long will you give them to get there ideas and style of play over?

Just seen this news and in all honesty why would he sign one?.

Now none of us know if he will be able to make the grade in the premier league but clearly seeing Antonio/Ings not doing anything and not be given a chance i am sure he is asking what has to happen for him to get that chance and by not signing was that the reason he was not on the bench yesterday?

But the longer this kind of thing goes on the more likely young players with potential will continue to vote no to contracts if any kind of path to the first team is closed off i wonder what Noble is thinking.

What on earth has happen to D H ???

Not really West Ham related except Bobby Moore is here. But this was a time when I enjoyed football and indeed players from the other teams. George Best, Rodney Marsh were two of them, and in my opinion, the best footy commentator, Brian Moore. The interview at the end was enlightening as well compared to todays cliche driven words by players and managers.

West Ham just think on it what is the club to you? for me its about a proper football club that knows its roots that appeals to the working man and know we dont win trophies every year/decade etc but when we do we celebrate it properly unlike those self entitled clubs/fans who think it is there right to win trophies year in year out and dont celebrate winning them because well its the norm its nothing special fuck them they are not fans they are just glory hunting pricks that when the going gets tough they piss off......We are different we are special look at yesterdays game the arse v manure and the commentator on about how gooners/spuds/liverpool all challenging Citeh...our club on the same points not mentioned not even an afterthought no we are not big enough for the media unless its a scandal or one of the bigboys buying our players......good because we dont need them we are West Ham United feet firmly on the ground not fantasising about about winning leagues and cups but a club that means something to the community and plays good football(not so much of late i no).

So when doing the media rounds today the old Quatari to buy us story comes up i would like to put it on here right now and say NO....i dont want it to happen i want my club to be my club not some small business owned by a state with a bottomless pit for a wallet.....i dont want to see fake fans wearing the Claret n Blue i dont want the media fawning all over us because suddenly we got pots n pots of cash...no i want to us to be WEST HAM the club that now and then pisses off the big guns and loathed by the mega rich clubs fans because we know what we are a proper football club and have something those faux fans will never have.

I hate that our owners moved us from our spiritual home but there is nothing i can do about that and i accept that younger fans are even now building memories at the BOM and good luck to them but if we get taken over by a mega rich super state then that will be it for me our club and all that it means to me will be no more and i will stop supporting them because we will not be WEST HAM anymore...just look at the barcodes playing in Saudi Green pffff if thats our future then i want none of it........relegation dog fights the very odd cup now and then stopping big clubs winning a title or cup the camaraderie of the fans the gallows humour dodgy burgers overpriced chips! and the wit of the terraces.....now thats a club to support not a club thats a nation state.....

Lets keep WEST HAM what it is a real mans club COYI

Scamacca made hius first Atalanta start last night, what happened will surprise absolutely nobody. The Italian hitman was named in Gasperini’s starting XI for the first time since he left the Hammers.
Atalanta beat Monza 3-0 and moved up to third spot in Serie A in the process.
Scamacca bagged two goals for his new club. He nearly had a hat-trick, but his third goal was ruled out by VAR.
