What’s odd about it? I imagine my age is above the average on this forum I doubt it... My first relegation season was '78 as was probably a lot on here     Same here. I remember my Dad was driving me somewhere and had sports report on the car radio. Jimmy Armfield piped up with "West Ham are a...

OK, a relatively simple question, I think, is that now looking like a gigantic fuck up from the orange bloke? The great US cap in hand asking for help. FMOB. Which we should not give. This is Trump's fuck up and he should own it without endangering any other nation's armed forces. It is within his ...

Great result.
Carry on playing like this and we are staying up.

Anything better than the tradtional 5-0 City win would do for me.

It's ALL EU red tape. The UK cannot remove it, only the EU can do that. They chose not to. That option was on the table as we could have kept standards aligned with the EU but the Tories decided not to. The issues of the extra burocracy and trade friction were pointed out repeatedly at the time but...

25 today thanks zico.

The main thing stalling UK exports to the EU is EU red tape. The stuff we're exporting is exactly the same stuff that was accepted without question while we were in the EU, so it's fuck all to do with the quality of the exports. They drop the protectionist shit and UK exports to the EU will rise. O...

Clyde was one of the core players who entertained us in the early 70's. I always seem to remember him playing in the iconic away kit of that era,the two claret hoops on the blue background. Great shirt,kept mine for years. Ferret will be wondering who the f*** Clyde is. I loved that shirt. Still ha...

Read this yesterday and it is a great article.
The shit he had to go through just to play is, thankfully, a thing of the past.
Bobby Moore, Clyde, Trev and Pop Robson are a big part of my early memories of West Ham as a little kid.

The USA lifting sanctions on Russians oil.
Putin is a real winner in this war.

This is my favourite recent Trump quote from his speech at Doral.

"All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are, right now, walking around with no legs, no arms"

Blofeld was named after Henry "Blowers" Blofeld's Dad who was a classmate of Ian Fleming's at Eton.
There was also a Scaramanga at Eton at the time.

The Americans do love a hyperbolic operation name.
These were the names for the first gulf war.

USA Desert Storm
UK Granby 

19 today thanks zico.
*strokes white cat*

This hits home so much as my then partner's daughter dies aged just 14.
It will be 10 years ago next August and it still hurts as she was a lovely human being.
I have had many friends and relatives die but this one hurts the most by a way.
She was Amelia as well.
 

6 today thanks zico.

Couple it all with the nuclear weapons programme and production issue this past 6 months, as well as the attacks on Israel/US base, then yeah it's a major issue that needed addressing. There isn't one reliable bit of evidence which shows they have the capability of building a nuclear weapon. They c...

16 today thanks zico.

As for the Dolphins. Tua is going to get released for a $99m cap hit.
Ouch.
We're also trading Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Jets for a seventh round draft pick.
Hopefully there will still be a half decent OL or CB on the board.
I very much doubt it though.

Just no.

I think that Trump will concoct some sort of situation that he can pretend as a "win", leave the current Iranian regime in charge and then attempt a similar decapitation in Cuba at some point soon. He has the biiggest boytoy on the planet at his disposal in the american military and his in...

We're really going to miss Bowen if and when he goes elsewhere.

Donald Trump has just posted on his Truth Social platform. He says "the United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East". "That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them ...
