West Ham Online

I lasted for the first 20 mins of the Liverpool/ Man Utd on Sunday before I turned the tele off and went back to the book I'm reading. The best i can do is go on you tube and watch all the goals from the weekend games, I just get almost nothing from watching a whole game anymore. 
Just grateful to have been a fan when the game was genuinely exciting and West Ham looked like a football club worth caring about.

It's so fucking grim and mind numbing these days. Give me the halcyon days of the 90s and and early 2000s any day!

Which is why I've started to watch non league games more and more....added bonus Hornchurch are top of the league undefeated 

No ta. I wanna be entertained by the likes of Di Canio, Le Tissier, Gazza, Henry, Bergkamp from Holland. Not part-timers Jonesy, McDonald, Gaz from the Postie, Henry the Butcher or Bernard from Holland and Barretts. With all due respect to non-League. Thing is these superstar talents would produce it every fucking week in games!

I wanna see proper seat of your pants mind-blowing top level Football again. The frustrating part is the ability and quality is there, if only they were allowed to express themselves properly and trusted on the pitch. Instead of being bogged down by stats obsessed Staff demanding they all hit their weekly KPI's in Training and matches that they think means better tangible results on a spreadsheet at the expense of releasing endless endorphins via our eyes for all our viewing pleasure. 

BRING BACK THE STEP-OVERS, NO LOOK PASSES, FLICKS AND TRICKS WITH THE OCCASIONAL OUTRAGEOUS GRAVITY DEFYING VOLLEY LIKE THEY'RE FLOATING ON AIR.

I'd ban all of it from the Dugouts and tell them to get back to coaching properly again instead of this distracting nonsense and just let the boys play ..

Fucking clueless!

Maybe it’s an age thing, but I’m quite happy scrolling away with my thumb ignoring half the bollocks posted by a few I can think of to focus on posts by people who I do like reading from.

As I get older, my intolerance for stupidity grows year on year. My desire now is to reduce the number of times each day that I have to say ‘for fuck’s sake’, by attempting to minimise ALL the things that I see, hear and read that make this happen. In light of this, many would say that continuing to visit WHO at all is probably massive folly, and they are almost certainly right.

If I do miss any worthwhile content after engaging the foe function on any particular poster, then this is a risk that I am happy to take.

You lost me at 'foe function'...
My life...what a fanny

Loads of different Hammers channels on you tube if that's your bag too.

I still dip in and out on here and post regularly as it's still reasonably informative and entertaining plus certain people went out of there way to keep things going when the old site was dying a death.

How about KUMB ?

Is it still 1994 over there?

Council Scum could judge the fight then Massive Attack can tell him he got it wrong.
