We've had Costa, Mateta, Gomez, Batshuayi all
mentioned in the same breath as Giroud
to name a few. It now seems Abraham is a target too
Reading that Chelsea are now up for signing
Alfie Inge Haaland and Aguero. Thus dropping Abraham even further down the pecking list. Personally think that he
could do a decent job for us. Albeit on loan or signing. Your thoughts??
A few of our coaching staff have compared Keenan Appiah-Forson, how he is right up there with N'Golo Kante of Chelsea. Now Rice is going to be out for a while, wouldn't it be time to either play Forson or give Coventry a chance. Noble is always the likely choice but shouldn't we be blooding our youngsters?
has passed away aged 65 after a long illness R.I.P Glen Roeder so sad.

With the current amount of games and the team looking a bit jaded against Fulham would it be worth trying to pick up a free striker just to cover for Antonio as he looks just about stuffed. We can all se that he is a bit worried about his hammy and Yarmo is definitely not the answer so why not pick one up for insurance. Surely it would be worth a go as there are a few that are out of contract. Looking through the list I see that Sakhalin is available, knows the club but getting on a bit. We where linked with Costa but his wages would be to much but there are others that might be worth a shot. If we could pick up a 23to 28 year old they would probably still have enough ambition to work hard and earn a contract somewhere using us to show they still have it and they might be able to be picked up cheap. Interested to know everyones thoughts.
Got to watch the west Brom game on my laptop as i haven't got BT watched the Scunthorpe game on He's Goals but cut out halfway through the first half anybody know of any other links I can pick up on a laptop
I've seen quotes attributed to Moyes that he dont have any targets to replace Haller so why sell him. Antonio walks a tightrope on if his hamstrings will last 90 mins and now we appear to have sold any sort of backup. Then Moyes wobbles about playing with a false number 9 saying Man City do it and have great success except we don't have the luxury or 20 top internationals to pick from. Knowing Moyes style we will simply play 5 at the back and 5 in the middle. With this type of tactic we could have kept BSA and still been more attacking.
Glad i grew up in the 60/70's as a kid tree climbing playing footy over the green with your mates broken glass dog shite an all on the pitch! kerby kerby(hopefully you all know that)and when called in for your tea some great programmes to watch....i loved the opening to this and the song which admittedly i made the words up as it went along lol
and of course if my brothers and i had been good we were allowed this treat to watch
great days indeed
It must be an age thing. Or maybe tier 3 reactionary. Or a 2020 symptom generally.
But I was sitting down yesterday, staring at my laptop, counting down the days till I can close the lid for the Christmas holidays and began reflecting.
Life, family, friends, what makes us happy?
Family. Can't live with em, can't live without em. 2020 has really put every aspect of family life under the microscope. If your fortunate enough to have a tight knit unit, the impact has been lessened. WhatsApp groups with aunts uncles and cousins sharing millions of GIFs, making each other laugh. Just, being there...
West Ham has been in my top 3 for pretty much all of my 44 years, which is ironic given their actual lack of success. From my first game with Dad and Grandad. Parking outside Nan and Grandad house in Glasgow Road and making the shirt 10 minute walk to the ground. Seeing the theater begin the rise from the horizon as we turned into Green St. The smell of cigar smoke, the smell of booze, the raucous laughter. Seeing the exposed West stand with people looking down on you. The colours, police horses. Going through a turnstile for the first time, slightly scared as it was a cage, but excited. Then walking up those steps. The vivd green baize coming into view. Then the people. Wow. The people. All of these people with the same love as me. And that was it. My vein was opened, the claret n blue toxin was injected and would never let me go. Even when I've hated them I've loved them.
Friends. Relationships formulated through school, work, social life, West Ham. The org.
Life goes on, people come and go.
The common thread for a lot of people is their team. The ability to go to games has really exposed a nerve for many, me included.
Those that say, I'd watch West Ham in the conference on Hackney Marshes if I had to. Well, I would, and I think many here are the same.
Which got me to thinking (and many have done this before) who are your memories from the Org?
Sadly I have forgotten lots of names, but seeing Chippy Dave and ANTKB on here the other day actually brought joy to my (little) heart. 2 wonderful veterans of the org.
Others I recall, Bobshep? Dave F King? Fanno used to divide people and was banned from here many a time but caused debate and I loved him. Be was on Twitter too till a while ago.
Ayecliff? Reversed? The Aussie chap I met and we went to a friendly at Southend about 15(?) Years ago with some others from the org? Who was that group?!?! I've forgotten so many names.
I you remember some, it would be good to see them mentioned in this post.
If you are one of those names and still scan the org, let us know! Would be lovely to hear from some of the tapestry of this club.
Or if you know of some of these old stalwarts, or what may have happened to them, that would be good too.
Right, that's enough reflection, time for a Tom tit.
