Lol @ BFS. Getting big names in their last years worked at Bolton (Hierro, Djorkaeff, Campo) and he's at it again. We know what that means. Hoof, then the old has beens collect the second ball. Yawn. He'll be gone by Christmas. We'll be spending on a progression not a stagnation.
We never seemed to pull enough away from the bottom three because the bottom half of the table was so open. However, we were never really in danger as we kept getting the points we needed and our GD was good. A few extra points and we would have been higher, but that would't have really changed the story of the season. The facts are that we are e/citing on our day and can beat anyone, fans and media enjoyed watching us, we never really looked like going down since about Xmas, and the future is promising.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22619312 Looks like Fat Sam has got himself a Rat onboard for next season, my bet is that he'll jump ship at the end of his one year contract as the good ship West Ham sinks into the Championship!....
My worry for WeeSpam, is the albatross of the Olympic stadium, it will be like playing in a grave yard, and not even on their own patch, unless they change their name! "I'm for ever blowing Orient?"
I will not start ranting and raving at you B&S because you seem like a little school boy/girl what with the way you call West Ham weespam a bit ridiculous if you ask me, so I will give you a geography lesson instead. Stratford where the Olympic stadium is sited is in the old borough of West Ham which is now Newham, West Ham United play and always have played either in the borough of West Ham or the Borough of Newham. Orient however play and have always played in the London Borough of Waltham Forest so you see young lad it is Orient that actually want to come and play on our patch, now when you go to school tomorrow instead of being a mischievous little boy try learning some geography. All the best, Brooking
To be fair though, isn't the park nearer to their current location than yours? Also, how long have you been there?
What a load of rubbish. The Olympic stadium is closer to Orient's ground than it is to yours, that's what they mean. How would feel if Spurs moved into the OS?
From Wiki: "The club's name was changed again to Clapton Orient in 1898 to represent the area of London in which they played, though there was another team called Clapton F.C. The name Leyton Orient was adopted following the conclusion of the Second World War. The club had moved to Leyton in 1937, though again there was another team called Leyton F.C. A further rename back to simply Orient took place in 1966 after the Borough of Leyton (in Essex) was absorbed into the London Borough of Waltham Forest" So Barry, it is your club that encroached onto West Ham "territory" first I'm afraid. In moving to Stratford, We are actually moving closer to West ham. At the moment, at Upton Park we are in East Ham. Stratford is in the borough of Newham, as is Upton Park. Leyton is in the borough of Waltham Forest. If Barry Hearn is concerned about West Ham moving to close to his club, why does he want a groundshare with us? Wouldn't that mean we are even closer? The blokes argument is terribly flawed and it is quite clear he is just after a bit of compensation.
Doesn't alter the fact that the Olympic Park is completely unsuited to be a football stadium. Unless you pull it down and rebuild it. As for the geography, meh. It's all in East London. Ergo, a bit ****.
