Calm down dear, you are such a sensitive soul.

I posted on this originally because (maybe slightly naively) I was a bit surprised that they would base this part of the operation in London and the overall size of the operation - overheads on rent, rates and salary alone are of the order of ?3.5m (plus). Scary what goes on in the background of a football club.

....two elephants walk off a cliff......



Personally for me, I'd be quite annoyed with my club if they did that. Irrespective of your locality, football clubs should be local institutions providing jobs etc, for those in the surrounding area. I know that when Liverpool were looking at the new stadium a big fuss was made when it was mentioned that the builders would be from a company that wasn't local. I know it's not exactly the same, but being a traditionalist when it comes to these things, I just think it's a shame.

Most West Ham fans are ambivalent too to be fair. I'm not sure what to think. May have a better idea after a day at the olympics I guess.

Still, be nice to be rid of those awful plastic hammers on the side of the west stand. How, ...just...who...how...?!?

I'd have Stevie G tomorrow, top player.

Great news for Palace if West Ham win as they should be able to move into the NSC at Crystal Palace Park. I wonder what guarantees will be put in to ensure West Ham don't tear the track up after a couple of years and what access local kids will get to the stadium. I aslo think that West Ham should be forced to to give money to Leyton Orient over a long period, as long as the money is used for community projects and not just given to Hearn.


Oh good to see all the comments on the England game by the way, all big fans are we? Missed the gamem myself but heard Wilshire played well.

To be honest, I can't see the point of a meaningless freindly 3 days before prem games and a week before Champs league games. If players get injured in these daft games, the club and the fans suffer. But yeah Wilshere had a good 45 minutes.

I watched it. Pluses for the England's were of course the boy Wilshire. I thought Scott Parker and Ashley Young were very good in the second half too.


Glad West Ham won their bid. It's important to stay in your own manor and though new stadium that Tottenham plan to build will now cost us an extra ?200 million at least (hopefully) it will still be in the same area around White Hart Lane and the Tottenham High Road.

Nicely summed up by:

"But the England manager now has some difficult choices to make before the next competitive match as to what excuses he trots out for picking the same players.


Rumours from inside the England camp suggest he will drop Wilshere due to the blue bits in his aura and retain Gerrard because legend tells that the Liverpool midfielder can pull the mighty Excalibur from the stone whence it came."



see also Parker etc.

To be honest he'll be 31 this year and I think that doesn't appeal to Wegner, usually anyone over 30 gets shown the door or gets a year by year extension. He was a decent player at Charlton, toilet at Chelsea, regained some of his reputation at the Toon and has enhanced it at west Ham. I fear his time at the top is limited. Shame.

Karen Brady's slightly weird letter from the future as West Ham host their first game at the Olympic stadium - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/sunsport_columnists/3402516/Karren-Brady-reveals-her-vision-of-West-Hams-future-at-the-Olympic-Stadium.html - that running track must be behind someone's head.

      Egyptian goslings in Peckham Rye park!

      Couldn't the sanctuary have taken the female as well? That's very sad 😭

      Egyptian goslings in Peckham Rye park!

      By fishboy · Posted

      One of the main reasons these goslings don't survive is because once they leave their nest on the island, they are unable to return to it's safety because of the height of the artificial bank - it's basically a brick wall, with no natural slope.  So they & their parents are left to try to fend off predators either in the water or on the outer bank - literally sitting ducks. I think in the last 10 years I've only seen a handful of goslings survive to maturity, and that's with two broods per year, often six, eight, ten goslings per brood.  It's very sad, and just needs the council / parks to remove some bricks to create a more natural sloped bank so they can access the safety of the island. I've asked many times, and hoped some of the Gala "biodiversity" funds could be used, but to no avail.  There are signs all around the lake stating dogs should be on a lead, but many owners seem to miss them, and don't appear to be concerned that the wildfowl are visibly & audibly disturbed by their presence, or aware how much damage their dogs can do. A few years back a loose dog attacked a male Egyptian goose and injured it so badly that it had to be taken to a sanctuary. Egyptian geese mate for life, so the female has remained alone ever since.

      Vinted expert? Sell clothes

      By Cancerian · Posted

      I agree that selling items online can be a bit of a faff but the ebay app makes  it easier these days to put photos on, set a postage rate, descriptions, etc. I’ve been buying and selling on eBay for quite a while now and it can be hit and miss with the selling and it does take a bit of time, buying the packaging, taking it to the post office (which I use to send everything I sell) but it can be a way to make a bit of spare cash.  I sell bits on eBay for myself and for a charity I support. I’ve been selling bits on this forum for my charity but this is a bit hit and miss as well.   If the OP pms me maybe I might be able to help and sell her clothes for her (and me) 😀

      80pc of the value comes from 20pc of the inventory. I'd suggest running through it and putting into 3 heaps: A - quality branded. Depending on how much there is in this category, you might then be able to find someone for a 'split the profits' offer.  C - un-sellable by charity (marked, damaged). To a "clothes by the KG" service. B - everything else. Donate to charity.
