West Ham Fans

Now wouldn't that just be like history repeating itself, if our best striker were to score in his last game for us at Old Trafford before they blatantly TAP HIM UP and sign him! Hope these Deano rumours aren't true. Then again if he wants to warm their bench . . . . . COYIfYouWantToGoThenTheresTheDoorIrons . . . .

Not being a pessimist just a realist,we will get mullered tomorrow.Three reasons 1)MAN UTD have got everything to play for to win the premiership a far bigger incentive then us holding onto 10th place 2)We will have half our reserves in our starting line-up,who are just not up to the grade.3)The MAN UTD fans will be in full voice for this one,will be like a 12th man for them.

wonder what odds u wud hav got on christian dailly pickin up a uefa cup medal this season??? i for one wud like to congratulate the guy. a loyal servant. a guy that played his part in taking us back to where we belong. a fact that many tend to forget! good luck christian!! ps: im with the previous post..my gut says wer gona get sumtn tomo and deanos gona score. im not liking these rumours bout deano goin to man utd by the way! hurry curbs sign him up 4gud!

I'm a man thats always backed an outsider, last year against all odds I had a tenner on West Ham to win one nil and tevez to score first goal, quids in, and again I think its going to be another upset for the mancs! Not only because we always seem to turn up the pace against the mancs but the team looked like a team with something to play for on Saturday and we were attacking well. they are going into this game on a high and are going to want all three points and I can see us taking the three. All I want now is Newcastle to beat Chelsea as well and the bet I put on yesterday for Arsenal to win the league may come up trumps. COYI

Judge Curbishley next season when hopefully we'll have a near fit squad, with Ashton and Bellamy upfront and Faubert, Noble, Parker and Dyer in midfield, at the back Neill, Upson, Ferdinand, McCartney. Players to go Ljungberg, Bowyer, Quashie, Davenport, Zamora, Cole, Etherington, Spector, Wright, Boa Morte plus more.

AT LAST SOME SENSE! Nev, me and a few others needed you on here ages ago to back us up mate. How people can discount SO MANY injuries, and say you can't use it as an excuse is just crazy. Personally, im still on the fence about Curbs, and i'll wait until i've seen him play a full season with a near-fit squad before passing judgement. However, I think with all the problems we've has this year, ending up in the top-half would be a monumentous achievement, and I think would bode very well for Curb's future. I just look at the team in 9th. Errikson is loved by the Citeh fans, and they all think it's an outrage he's being sacked - and they're 1 place ahead of us!! Let's start playing OUR part, and really get behind everything West Ham, cos the fans can make a massive difference to the points tally come the end of the season. COYI

If we had anything like a near fit side and not the walking wounded parade we would be ahead of Blackburn and City easy. Can't wait for Man U game the chance to the double over em again should be motivation enough for the players.

i think its way time that curbs got some praise for he s efforts since becoming manager,even though i liked pards we was only going one way...down!now a year later and with so many injuries we sit mid table,ok the style of play at times was nt pretty but its a points business were in,and with better luck on the injury front next season i think we ll see the real curbs.onwards and upwards!p.s.just a thought but can we lay off lampard it only makes him play better,remember the reception tevez got? and he had a poor game against us

Yeah, great post Nev. Just thought I'd let you know that it was your posts as editor that first got me reading this site; so hang in there, you've done a great job. On the old traff showdown, -- we can only hope, eh? I think United will be out to prove a point and not just to us. They want to win the double and they can do it, too. At this point in the season, when we don't have any hope of Europe, I have to prefer United for BOTH the EPL title and the CL trophy. I'd hate to see Chelsea win it. That said, wouldn't it be nice to beat United AND Villa and end the season on a high (and ahead of Totts and Toon!). If we get one more point, then Newcastle can't overtake us (goal difference is too great). We need two more points to guarantee a top ten finish. Time to do the business!!! COYI!

Thankyou for a well written post Neville. I hope this is a sign that things are improving for you. Many users have noticed the drop in content from your threads, but this latest post is more like the sort of thread we had previously got used and enjoyed reading as well as discussing or debating. Is it possible to get another poll going too? They have always been fun to get involved with and give us an insight into what other fans are thinking or feeling. It could encourage a few new visitors, or old ones for that matter.

COYI!!!

West Ham Till I Die

Right chaps, I've just listened to the Curbishley interview as posted below and I have to say that that has galvanised my support of the chap. (I'm wearing my rotten tomato and egg-proof suit, so fire away)! He's not playing fantasy football manager or pro evo or whatever game the Curbs bashers seem to think is being played in the Premiership. He happens to be playing Realworld Football Manager 2007/8. This game was not developed by CAPCOM, EIDOS, EA Sports (it's in the game), Konami, Ubisoft, Microsoft (or Staysoft for that matter) and is not available for PS 1,2 or 3, Gamecube, XBox, XBox 360, PC, PSP, Nintendo DS, wii or whatever else we can spend our money on that whisks us away from the job at hand that comes under the heading of 'everyday life'! The advantages of this game are spectacularly life-like graphics and a breathtaking musical score (bubbles). This game was developed by the F.A. and was about 100 years in the making. He's also playing it on a difficulty level of "European Berserk+ no prisoners", which incidentally is light years away from "Easy", "Normal", "Professional" or "Genius". Btw there are no cheat codes available from any internet sites, and he can't just switch the console off and start again when we fall out of top spot! He's our manager and considering the circumstances, he's done a great job. For those of you who wanna talk about the quality of footy that's been played this year, well maybe it's been a case of needs must when the devil shits in yer 'andbag! We've all had to endure it and a lot of it ain't been pretty, but we're 10th and without once having put our first team out. Yeah yeah 'no need for the injuries' blah blah, 'LBM' blah blah, 'disappointing season' blah blah, 'typical Curbs end of season nose-dive' blah blah. I haven't been posting, but I have been reading the site and watching how some of me 'mates' are getting on, and I have to say that I have been quite startled at the lack of posts (positive or otherwise) despite the fact that we showed some very positive signs of a return to the West Ham way. Why aren't we getting or staying behind the team, or at least thinking outside of the box and seeing the big picture. Let's get up for the next game and really concentrate on pissing on Fergies chips as we so often have done. How sweet would 12 out of 12 be come 2:30pm Saturday. Plus to beat the Manx when they needed to win would certainly shut up all those who see our victory at Old Trafford last season as nothing more than a 'donation' by ManUre. Let's prove to the world that we stayed up on merit last year and that we aren't some sort of charity case. Criticism, debate and passion. Great. But we are all WestHam here aren't we? Great to see the 2006 cup final cheats completely shat on by Chelscum! OLAS

i must admit that when i read the title "players back for old trafford showdown" i had a sneaky feeling bellamy and dyer might just suprise us all with a quick return!the fact that noble,mac and zamora were even injured in the first place brought a smile. anywho,all's good.i'm looking forward to saturday's game. there's no doubting that our support will be top trumps as ever! i can see us playin well. however i'm pretty sure curbs will play 4-5-1..green pantsil neill tomkins mccartney faubert noble parker mullins boa morte and ashton. subs: walker,spector,etherington,cole,sears.. deanos on fire at the mo,nobles playin well and lets face it,boa morte gave his all last week and wasnt too bad. either way, i cant see S***s catchin us. villa will be worried comin to the boleyn on the last day...2 good games to finish what was an average season ( exactly what the doctor ordered after last season's ordeal )..futures bright futures claret and blue.

Apparently Matty Upson and Jonathan Spector are also available for Saturdays match. My team: Green Neill Tompkins Upson McCartney Faubert Noble Parker Etherington Ashton Zamora subs: Spector, Cole, Mullins Walker and SEars

I think the only chance we have of getting anything out of this game is to play like we did at Stamford Bridge at the beginning of the season. Every 50/50 ball we won and whenever one of their midfield players received a pass two West Ham boys came clattering in. Although Man Utd need to win, psychologically a number of them will already be in Moscow and they won't want to pick up an injury so the hard but fair approach may yield something. Failing that another 4-0 drubbing could be on the cards. I don't care if we lose, just make us proud of you boys and play the match as if it was your last!

MATTY'S BACK, MATTY'S BACK! =D

Good post Nev, after the Newcastle match Curbishly said that there will be a lot of players in the team that have never played at old trafford getting a start. I think this means that we will see the young guns and a few squad players stepping up to the table. Which is only going to put a good spirit in the team, this team is going to want to win, going to want to score goals and going to want to prove them selves to the manager and the fans. Whether or not the have the ability to play at Old Trafford is something we will see Saturday afternoon, but I think we can expect a very first paced game from teams and very attacking, win lose or draw at old trafford if you see 11 men on that pitch putting everything they have into playing then they deserve all the applause at full time. COYI

Sorry to be pessimistic but I cannot see us getting anything out of the game on Saturday...last year at old trafford we were lucky...united had a lot of chances and failed to convert any...we got a few and thank god tevez scored....Would like to see a spirited performance and hope we will try and pass it around as its a fantastic pitch to play ball on....hope im wrong but time will tell...Win v villa would more then make up for it !!COYI
