new football season 2007/8

I've always had a soft spot for "the Hammers". Always appreciated the way they stuck with footballing principles. However, I also find it hard to believe that they've gotten away with this fiasco. their case had more holes than a colander.
Maybe if Warnock wasn't such an odious twat they may have had more allies.

you two are talking bollox !
tevez on his way to manc scum by all accounts.

Neil Warnock didn't want to appeal - he said the reason Sheffield United were in the bottom three was because they didn't win enough games and get enough points.

I think Neil Warnock's OK - he always makes interesting comments - I don't always agree with them, but they are good value.

Why were Leeds allowed to go in to administration on the eve of the game with us (Tractor Boys). I think they should have waited till the end of the season and should start the new season with -10 points, but I suppose they are Leeds not Rotherham or perhaps the league thought Ken Bates was punishment enough.

It's not the fans who are to blame and not the players - we just want to see our teams give 100% on the field and try to win every game.

My tip to go down from the premiership is the same as it was last year: Arsenal - I always get very good odds on it - now when was the last time they were relegated.

Looking forward to WHU without Tevez ending bottom.

LOL i dont think so..........

Rotf,
I never said it was Warnock's choice, I merely pointed out that IMO his character is more likely to alienate people than ally them to his cause.
And Scotty, come on, when has lying through the teeth with a bunch of dodgy south americans been all above board? I can gather they're dear to your heart, but they got off lightly mate. And that is defo not bollox.

Apologies Steve

I still like guys like Neil Warnock - I think the game needs characters - imagine if all the managers were like Arsene Wenger and Rafael Benitez - good managers, but ..... ZZZZZZZzzzzzz

I think Denis Wise fits your description of Neil Warnock.

steve o,
your completely missing the point. whu have always admited their "guilt" and taken the punishment on the chin ! now if the premier league fail to deduct points and issue a fine is that west hams fault ? the people who should be brought to book are the former chairman - (terence brown) and this iranian fella and his syndicate MSI who financed the deal and consequently scarpered !! but theres nothing said about them.
every whu fan feels for the other teams involved in the relegation struggle and i can completely see your point. but at the end of the day west ham WILL be playing in the premiership next year because they played out of their skins in the run in to the end of season.therefore picking up more points than other relegation haunted teams. p.s. tevez was and still is a registered whu player,why else did the mancs need to get permission to approach him from whu ?
lets now put this to bed once and for all and get on with the footie. not long now boys.
regards, scotty

Scotty,
I really don't think I am missing the point. How can you say WHU admitted it all along when they lied blatantly on two separate occasions. Fact. For me if you admit something then lies aren't needed.

Granted they are not responsible for the punishment administered and out of the teams facing the drop WHU did indeed perform best. But for me at least, the circumstances surrounding their escape takes the sheen off their achievement.

And Rotf, no need to apologise mate. I think you're point about Leeds is spot on. I wonder what would have been WHU's fate had the axe had to fall on them or a Liverpool, Man U or Arsenal? An unlikely scenario I know but you can bet you're life the Premier League wouldn't allow one of those teams to go down in the same set of circumstances.

Regards,
Steve O.

tevez has gone to the mancs (no stopping them now ! ) - shame that, best talent since dicanio at upton park. he will be missed.

scotty, munch are you sure you want this man?



details - he's an old budgie.

I'm sure he'll get a few goals for us, probably more than Marlon/Bobby. He'll be hard to manage though. Tevez & Yossi will be sorely missed.
Matt.

that is the real problem with these volatile players they carry their aggresion off the pitch sometimes.
will be interesting in training if he upsets bowyer.
i agree yossi and tevez will be missed BUT life goes on !!
scotty. p.s. just renewed the season ticket £850 OUCH ! just hope its not like last year , dont think me old heart could take it.

If only the Hammers could hold on to their players, they'd have a not bad side.

Maybe...

James
Johnson
Ferdinand
Ferdinand
Neill
Cole
Lampard
Mascherano
Parker
Kanoute
Tevez

Dodgy keeper of course, but they'd still get in Europe.

I can't wait for the new season to start. Cisse, Bellamy, and £6 million for Torres is a great deal. Good work, Rafa!

It's on your bike to another greedy footballer

What a team we could have had

Darren Ambrose
Darren Bent
Herman Hreidarsson
Marcus Bent
Matt Holland

Imagine what could have been - oh now wait, hold on a minute. we've seen what happened - it's Charlton

I wonder if they want that greedy so-and-so Francis Jeffers.

Rotf

Hi Chief Chirpa - I kept saying to Scotty and munch that West Ham would stay-up, but you've left you're best player out of your dream squad - the man that kept you up (and turned our season around): Mark Noble. Of course, if you don't want him .............

oh we want him alright and luckily he wants to stay !

p.s. i think bellamy with ashton will frighten a few defences.

ROTF,
you could have harewood for nothing if it was up to me. f*****g donkey !

I didn't know the 2007/08 season was five-a-side?!

Now, what squad could Liverpool have...

Goalkeepers:
Reina
Carson
Mihaylov
Dudek
Kirkland
Friedel
James...

and so on.

ROTF - When you say 'kept you up', at what stage of the season did it look like Liverpool were going down?!

We did - on loan from Forest IIRC - we sent him back.

Didn't realise you were a Liverpool supporter - I don't think it looked like they were going down - hmmm currently mid-table - looks bad for Wigan they have to start last.

nice to see deano back in action

well it was a case of same old same old today.
give city their due they thoroughly deserved the win.
whu were piss poor in the 1st half and not much better in the second.
bowyer was awful as was zamora and mark noble picked today to have his worst game.
only bright spot was deano coming on for the last 25mins to an arousing reception and almost
scored with a volley with his first touch.
we must get it together quickly to avoid another season of woe !

....."WE Are Top Of The League! I Say We are Top Of The League"!
....erm' Ok for a couple of hours anyway!

.....Yes Spurs have more quality players than we do at this point in Keano's masterplan and for periods in the first half we had to chase the game ...but ....we didn't let up for the whole game attacking every loose ball and eventually Spurs looked out of ideas.

....I know opening games are generally no guide to how the season will pan out but I honestly don't expect to struggle as we have in our last 2 Premiership seasons ...

I wonder how "Chops's" goal went down in the pubs of Tyneside Nic?

Was wondering when you and diccus would start the gloating re Sunderland. The question is will they hold it together for the rest of the season or does the drop beckon.
