But fair they're ****ing brilliant. Yep they are brilliant, best team in England by a country mile. But I just think they will not make the CL final this year so should take the FA cup seriously and use squad players not kids for the replay.

So you don’t think they will make the final so they shouldn’t try? Why should they try and win the FA Cup then? I really don’t understand why people are so annoyed by this, especially non Liverpool fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 West Ham went from heaven to hell really. Wasn’t a lot wrong with Upton Park and their owners spotted a deal. Were always pushing for the same if Birmingham ever got the commonwealth games whilst they were at Birmingham City. I honestly could barely see our first goal there in December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 Done the London Stadium in the home end against Spurs, pretty dull experience aside from the company, they're quite a self deprecating fan base I've found. My Mrs' Dad is staunch West Ham but is close to packing it in due to mainly the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said years ago that Hollywood actors will be replaced by virtual actors using avatars which are indistinguishable from real humans - no more pampered stars, no vast fees and no aging, this is now well underway - and the easier one virtual crowds, Prem clubs don't really need the money from the gate now and full stadiums (even massive virtual stadiums) look great on TV. expect to see "expanded" or " fill in" virtual crowds first then the full roll out.

Was that the recorded figure, or how many people were actually there? That differs by up to about 10K per game from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkenzo Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 Bit random, but it's ****ing laugable that Villa have a 3rd choice keeper that is (given his performances against us, ugh) pretty bloody decent, yet they still look around to get another in, which relegates him to 4th choice? Not the only club to do it, West Ham doing it most recently with David Martin I think. Who the hell would be a 3rd choice keeper when that is the situation?

The Bear Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 (edited) West Ham weren't happy with Roberto though, and they quickly binned him and the bloke that recommended him. Martin was never a realistic first choice. Just a stop gap until they found someone permanent. Edited 28 January 2020 by The Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy money being a 3rd / 4th choice GK! £10k a week to not do a great deal. Potentially 2 games a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the point though, you're 3rd choice but if you're ever needed they look for a replacement so what is the point in being there in the first place?

Leicesterpool Posted 28 January 2020 Share Posted 28 January 2020 (edited) Heard something about rumours that Ed Woodward house came under attack by hooligans. Punch of United fans apparently recording a video of them throwing flares into his garden. Edited 28 January 2020 by Leicesterpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Corky Posted 28 January 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 28 January 2020 Imagine singing about people dying and throwing stuff at their house because your football team is underachieving. Who on earth gets that wound up by it all? Some people need to take a long, hard look at themselves. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 29 January 2020 Share Posted 29 January 2020 The United hooligans turning up and attacking Ed Woodwards house is ridiculous. Chant about him all they want during games, get banners if they want ffs. But to attack his home, where his family and kids live is disgusting. They're 5th in league, they aren't relegation fodder. Some of their fans need a reality check, bunch of tossers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballwipe Posted 29 January 2020 Share Posted 29 January 2020 Get yourself into the rabbit warren of United fans who think this is a PR stunt with Neil Ashton just joining the club, too. It's an infuriating read. People will do anything to twist things to suit their agenda. Absolutely weirdos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
