Toff turds v west ham saturday 3 pm Satanta

Just got in from work and flicking through the channels, caught part of an interview by Slav on Barclays Premier League World on Sky. The programme is being repeated later tonight at 11.15pm, Sky Sports 1. He continues to impress with his candid honesty and I hope he gets the backing from SUGO to continue to improve us and we become a major force to be reckoned with.

Well well well!! I knew the site was back up but for some reason I have not been able to log in. Turns out I'd used an old mail adress. Genuinely interested to hear how the sites doing and if any of the old faces are about. I've missed the site loads and even contemplated joining kumb but am very happy to be back, especially after last night!!

We really are a bunch bar stewards aren't we! Ha ha.

Imagine the scene, spuds coming to our place on a decent run thinking they are unbeatable. "We will go top here tonight lads, bring it on champions" thrashed in the first game no worries. Deluded supporters saying their "firms" are gona take us. The statue is at threat, people's lives are and so is the old girl we sit in every week. Nobody at West Ham took this serious, but spuds fans the council and police did.
Council boarded up bobbys eyes, police arrived in force on horses, helicopters over heard! The team arrived and they swaggered in like it was a formality.
But they were ambushed like a nerd at a frat party! We got into them early pulled their pants down slapped their arse and tied them to a lamp post for the night!

In return the media, fans and manager have been desperately looking for straws to clutch at. We all heard of lasagne gate and boy have we laughed for years at that ,this time Spurs have improved by giving us more excuses than we can handle! The pitch was poor and they struggled with our direct style says the ponch. A couple of injuries say motd dembele and alli. Tiredness say their supporters! Kane's form is hampered by his mask.

Oh please yawn give us a break, maybe even some credit. Firstly the pitch yes it's poor but it shouldn't be beneficial to us either and of course we have all seen worse! Injuries? We they had no dembele but Ali was on the bench and they have largely escaped injuries all season plus we had Reid, Valencia, byram, Tonka, obrian, Moses, out and sakho not match fit in this game alone. Tiredness? Well I'm sure they have played a lot of games but our season started in July! They have had options to rotate due to lack of injuries whereas we don't really know our best 11 as we have never had a full squad! As for that mask well Costa does ok in his, plus if he is struggling play another option. It makes him look better anyway.

We really are a bunch of bar stewards aren't we

Did anyone see the whole game last night? Be it at the game or a stream. Both emenike and obiang have been mentioned on other forums as having great games with the latter nominated as motm. So what's the general opinion on here to their performances?

i think he's fast becoming the key component in our side alongside payet. must say when i first saw him thought there was a lot of work to be done here and the fee paid was pretty high. looking at how he has adapted to the prem league now i can say that we need to hang onto him for as long as possible. he's different to most players, he has great physical strength and energy. he gets up and down the pitch endlessly, always throwing himself onto the end of chances in the box, is great in the air…in short the mans a beast on the field. whoever scouted this man out did a great job, and well done to the club for bringing him in. teams can't handle him.

1-0 but let's be honest it was the last time we will play them Spudulikes at the Boleyn and we just wanted the win.
What a wonderful time to be a Hammers fan God bless West Ham and all who sail in and with her/him? who cares great night, COYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS.

PS I love Bilic, and Antonio is one helluva find.

like many I have a natural dislike for that club and its fans always harping on about how big they are etc etc if you have to brag about something then plainly its not true....and after this mornings love in on spudsport enough is enough...I want us to rip into them destroy them as DITM says....completely ruin there title challenge nothing would be sweeter then we can hear them bleat on the radio......horrible horrible club better the gooners or citeh if Leicester don't but levy and his mob pffff lets make there last memory of upton park yet another nightmare....lasagne anyone:-)

What do you think the chances are of picking up a ticket on the gates for tonights game?

We have all shared our opinions over the past few years about the move from Upton Park to the Olympic Stadium, most were initially not in favour due to our history and the fact of having an old school traditional ground. A ground that still can generate an excellent atmosphere and a ground nestled within housing estates with pie and mash shops, old school cafes, supporters club, noisy pubs etc. The new ground looks spectacular and is obviously very large, compared to the Boleyn, but many worry about the lack of atmosphere and the views. Travel for many will improve because of the links into Stratford but I have to admit I'm disappointed that the club haven't tried to replicate the traditional type shops, pubs and the supporters club in the area. It must be that business in the shopping centre is going to be hit on matchday's enough, without having a total blackout due to trouble in pubs and bars in between the ground and the shopping centre? That's my guess anyway so the fans are more likely to go to bars on the other side of Stratford station or drink locally before making their way to the ground.

Looking at the past few seasons and the difference in the quality of the players coming in, it's obvious that the potential of the new stadium and the fact that our Co-Chairmen have put up the money to support this has taken us to another level. The likes of Payet, Lanzini, Ogbonna, Kouyate, Song, Moses etc etc deciding to join our club supports the fact, as previously we were touted amongst decent names but so often we never had a chance or we got them at the end of their careers. Signing Andy Carroll and paying his type of salary was probably the start of the statement that we made to the market place, regardless of the injuries and what has happened since to him personally.

So given the following facts, has your opinion now changed/been influenced for the move?
1) looking at the type of football we are now playing compared to seasons past over the last 5-10 years 2) seeing the difference in quality of the players coming into the club 3) the difference in demand for tickets for home and away games and for the new stadium 4) the results on the pitch 5) the fact that this has all been influenced by our move to the Olympic Stadium 6) if we want to progress we have to get bigger as a club
