skinnybob72 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I remember having a sneer when Moyes was asked if he was interested when ourselves and Hibs were both managerless and he said he felt he still had something to offer in the EPL. He was right, I was wrong. West Ham look to be a very good side and they were humpty when Moyes took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Great performance by West Ham. Antonio can be almost unplayable when he is the form he showed tonight.

Jamaica are going to call him up for next round of internationals think he could give Southgate an alternate in attacking positions . Hope it comes back to haunt them and he has a good season this year and scores plenty for West Ham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the reason he struggled at other clubs is simply taking time to learn and adapt and he has interviews which pretty much sums this up. Never to old to learn and when someone is good at something they can always adapt to the ever changing landscape.

SE16 3LN Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Westfield Utd are the disgusting face of Tory Britain. Stadium stolen from the UK tax payer and given to Tory donors by Boris, and a stadium maintained by the London tax payer. The fans are a mix of the cowardly ICF and posh barristers from leafy London suburbs. Everything that's wrong with football today can be seen at the Westfield Stratford franchise.

I agree with this 100%! I could concede that they used to be a real football club (but not a nice one!) but now the two David’s and Karen have totally destroyed them and ‘ripped’ the fans off!

It's clear where the ignorance lies Iron. Far from it. Newhams Labour council was led by Robin Wales at the time and the award process was very much run by his council. The Tories and that clown Coe/the Olympic Park Legacy Company/London Legacy Development Corporation (whichever iteration) were actually determined that the stadium wasn't going to a football club and the plan was to dismantle most of it and turn it into a 25k athletics ground. Olympic legacy was at the top of their agenda for it's new life. Before the end interested parties were invited to bid on it to buy. West Ham and Spurs bid, and there might've been others along with a mob that wanted to create an F1 track around it. Spurs wanted to flatten it and build a brand new stadium in its place with no running track. Basically, they just wanted the land next to the insane transport links. West Ham's bid was more sympathetic to British athletics although they were also asking for £40m to help convert it for footballing purposes. The decision to award it was appealed by Spurs and those that awarded it to West Ham shit the bed. They then retracted and tendered for lease, which West Ham inevitably won. I'm not a fan of the stadium but there are a few points that need to be made. They pay £2.5m per year (was initially £1m) for 20-30 days use of that place. That that sounds quite a lot. The devil is obviously in the detail. They don't pay stewarding, they don't pay running costs. They however, only get 50% of catering profits. They get nothing of the first £4m of naming rights that the landlord has failed miserably to sell. It's not West Ham's fault that they are serious businessmen and were negotiating with career polititians that don't know their arse from their elbow. It's not West Ham's fault that it costs over £8m pa to move the retractable seating. It's not West Ham's fault the stadium was built with no foresight on its future. Edit: posh barristers from leafy suburbs? You've clearly never been to Whitechapel, Stepney Green or Mile End. Even then, most West Ham can't afford to live there and are in shitholes like Grays, Chafford Hundred, Romford, Barking, Dagenham....
