Dont know about you but I think Wallcott will fit in beautifully at West Ham in the hospital bed alongside Carrol and Sacko. I Also see that Oneyruku has now got a work permit for the UK this is the sort of player we should be going after not some injury prone player like Theo Wallcot we had enough of them last season.

Sometimes you question being a hammers fan. So after seeing a mention of pop robson I you tubed him, and immediately remember why. Saw a video and it's so easy to forget the exciting players we have had to watch in my time. Not so much now. No one worth watching this season. We all know the greats but there is so many more you take for granted. Pop robson, pat Holland, David cross, graham pad don, frank snr, billy Jennings, Keith Robson the list is many. Even loved the fact players had to take a corner from the first row in the stand. We don't have these now, so depressing.

Bit of light hearted stuff for a Friday folks. I thought our luck was hampered by an old UP curse but maybe not.

Looking at the high emotional video used to entice us to part with hard earned cash for the new seasons shirt I note again that the original crossed hammers show the hammer heads face pointing away from each other unlike todays badge where the heads face inwards.

Now this got me thinking. Its known to be bad luck to have a horse shoe that points downward as the Luck is said to run out so clearly our bad luck was no Indian Burial ground at the Boleyn, rubbish players, a gypsy curse or a drab but much loved song that refects on "like my dreams they fade and die" its all down to the dam badge being the wrong way round :o)

Happy Friday everyone, COYI's!!!!

In the last 18 months our board have acted in the most crazy and incompetent way they must surely be currently the worst in the premier league. But now it has come to light there is a contender to their crown. Admittedly it's an outsider but I'm sure Sullivan, Brady and gold won't take this laying down. West brom are reported to be giving Johnny Evans a new deal worth 100,000k a week! So, the ball is in sullivans court as he won't want anyone stealing his limelight. Watch this space.

Well nortveldt has been sold, reported 8 million. I'm in a minority but feel to get rid of him after one season is a bit premature, having said that, it's exactly why the board are happy to buy Nort and feg. No outlay but will always get a fee back when sold. 8 mill profit no 20 mill striker bought last season, God the board must have a mattress stuffed with money.

I was rather surprised by the lack of, well any, Hammers in the England under 20 and 21 squads. so where are they and in particular Reece Oxford wanted apparently by all the top clubs??? If the strategy is only to Buy (home and abroad) and not develop then so be it......... if it works.

Just read about Roy Larne (news now UK) Respect !!! Love his new name as Lion of London Bridge... Love the picture of the running magazine someone gave him too!. This is the type of headlines that people here (US) don't get... How the English stand up and fight without the red white and blue flapping in their ears.. The fight that won two world wars where 1/3 of the globe was shown in pink, and the sun never set on the British Empire. You don't hear of the Roys of England too much, but the world better know they are there!!!!

As an Aussie my heart and sympathies go out to everyone affected by the heartless incident in Manchester. Unfortunately this is the world we now live in where of all things a concert mainly aimed at the young is attacked in this way. To the parents and families of those killed or injured my heart goes out to you all but also to anyone that was there, it is something that the young should not have to experience.

who thinks he should follow wenger out?

Considering the under 23s got promoted last night and Martinez scored, is it time that he had a chance in the main team? I haven't seen him play but he seems to do the business at that level so who's to say he cannot do it at the higher level. Maybe he could get a squad place for Burnley?
