A list of current and ex-West Ham players who played for England in the 2010s: Joe Cole Matthew Upson Carlton Cole Rio Ferdinand Matt Jarvis Bobby Zamora Robert Green Andy Carroll Scott Parker Frank Lampard Glen Johnson Stewart Downing Michael Carrick Danny Ings Jack Wilshere Joe Hart Jermain Defoe...

Another cricket suicide maybe? A very high rate in this sport.  Really? I can only think of Graham Thorpe and Johnny Barstow's old man. What other cricketers have topped themselves then? Arthur Shrewsbury. The only man to hit a six over the pavillion at Lords.  In fairness to Swiss, the 'suicide is...

Glendenning absolutely hates West Ham. I have no idea why.

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;                          But O heart! heart! heart!             ...

That's true enough. The last promoted team to win the 1st division was of course managed by Clough himself at Forest. Even into the 80s there wasn't a massive gap between the two divisions but the Premier League money changed all that. When we got relegated in the 70s it was easier to keep the like...

Of course Starmer Sunak Truss Johnson & Cameron … probably the worst 5 PM’s in living memory.  This government has been as dithering & incompetent as the last Starmer is supposed to be a Kings Counsel so you’d expect some charisma & eloquence but he is a gibbering confused mess Reeves i...

That's twice on this thread someone has misunderstood the 'pulling up trees' idiom. The metaphor of pulling trees out of the ground is about extreme effort, not ability or application. Therefore, Formals did in fact pull up trees for West Ham, even when he played poorly. That isn't want pulling up ...

It will be months before Davie actually leaves. Meanwhile he's doubling down. Naturally, the BBC are fine with this.

It's almost as if he's trying to pretend he is resigning voluntarily...

Not doing himself any favours with the spelling there. It’s often said of religion that the biggest factor behind people either converting to a faith or losing it isn’t a rational assessment of the arguments on each side, but rather the respect they have for those making the arguments. I haven’t li...

Shocking 'Oirish' bollocks. Hopefully we'll get up to A Day In The Life quite quickly.

The Irish have lately become so far up their own arses they are utterly insufferable. Plus, in the south, they are anti-Semites and Anglophobes to a man.

The response is now fully orchestrated.

Davie, the bird, Simpson, Shah, Ed Davey (who?), the SNP all queuing up to say the exact same, weasel words; 'political opponents', 'mistakes', 'weaponised'.

So fucking obvious

Good post, mate. I'd take slight exception to the first paragraph. Whilst people only became aware of the death camps after the war, the British public were well aware that the Germans hated Jews and were more than a little rum. London's Jews and cockneys had already routed Mosley, remember. Second...

Today is a day of rememberance and appreciation for ALL who fought against the Nazis and Fascists. My great uncle died on the beaches of Italy to make us safe from these cunts and their ideology. The least I can do is to continue to speak out against them, especially the ones in our own country who...

How is a trillion pa any differently, morally, than a million. Or, if you are a penniless sub saharan, say, ten thousand dollars?

Anti-Semitic demos go ahead unobstructed by police at Villa.

Meanwhile pro-Israel counter-protesters have been rounded up by West Midlands Police and put in a wire cage.

Israel isn’t in Europe The Champions League is a European competition    Israel is a member of UEFA because other (Muslim) members of the AFC kicked out founder member Israel, basically for being mostly Jewish. You seem to be holding Israel and Israelis to different, higher, standards of behaviour ...

We’ve got Starmer and Badenoch right behind draconian laws putting people inside for years, because of something written on social media or a placard,  No. That's false. Much as I don't think she is any good, Badenoch does not have a history of supporting this stuff. It's Starmer and Hermer who are...

Was he knighted for his services to infidelity or for losing the World Cup with a petulant kick out? Or indeed, as posted below, for being the 5th best player in a very good Man United team?

Dutch police told their  British  counterparts that over 200 Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans who  wreaked havoc  in Amsterdam in November 2024 were "linked to the  Israel  Defense Forces [IDF]", and that hundreds more were "experienced fighters", "highly organised" and ...

Caught between the flag shaggers & those who say you can’t say Christmas without being arrested Ironic Angry middle aged men overload  Er, no. KCC have asked that flags not be flown from lamp-posts that will also be carrying Christmas lights. They have said that whilst flags and lights can't go...

Jews are not right wing/far right?

Talk me through that as if you're explaining it for the first time to a 7 year old.

Is the ban you speak of  similar to the ban on Arabic and Palestinian players that Maccabi Tel Aviv operates? No mate. The Birmingham ban is a real one. The one you are referring to is made up.  In any event, I'm not sure how any alleged racism in an Usraeli football team would be a reason for stat...
