Thread | That is a massive gut
at 10:13 10 Apr 2025
And no, I'm not talking about Steve Evans being spotted down the job centre.
Sure it's been posted to death by level headed fans though... all this knocking Ashton for doing a deal like this (if it's true) is ridiculous...
A) Delap almost certainly wasn't the only, or even number one choice number nine we were after. Our failure to land that player is/was far bigger a problem for us than Delap's contract.
B) The implied assertion that Ashton didn't negotiate a higher release clause and/or lower percentage sell on is absurd. Of course he tried.
Fact is, Delap wasn't the tried and tested and nailed on success he has proven to be. And who would really say they'd rather not have had him here if this was the best deal we could get. No one except for the literally insane.
It's a bitter pill to swallow though. But meh whatever.

P.s. yes it's another bloody thread about Delap's release clause, arf :) |

Thread | Footy accumulator betting Q
at 12:30 20 Feb 2025
Afternoon.
Looking to place an accumuator on next three rounds of games but I only have a Sky Bet account, very rarely bet on the footy, and can only get up the next seven days. Is this a question of how far in advance they set odds? Is there any way of placing an accumulator on next three rounds of prem matches?

The margins man. J Clarke's shot goes in and we're not only two points better off but it gives him much needed confidence. There's a hell of a player there. Needs a little luck on his way stepping up.
Add to that... Omari out for Brighton and City at least, presumably. Another gutter, cos we can get something against B&HA before settling into a spectacle against the resurgent (?) cheating club. Really need Delap and Hutchinson fit. Feel we need to keep some momentum and aye, trying to take each game in isolation and on its own merits but that gets harder when we look competitive (and win and almost win)... and start scrutrinising the table and other teams.
Could do with that striker asap innit. |

Never mind Saudi Arabia 2034 for a moment, what is this all about?

"2030 World Cup co-hosts will be confirmed as Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with the first three matches held in South America."
I suppose the uncynical and simple answer is, er... it's a world cup competition. Doesn't sit right. |

Thread | West Ham United
at 16:07 4 Oct 2024
I used to like the Iron. Similar to Town in many ways. An old school, family club, with a lot of nostalgia and blurry eyed talk of bygone days and especially players. A club many neutrals who simply like their football had a soft spot for, sort of.
Last time at the Boleyn would have been when Reuser scored to beat them. Can't remember anything apart from the goal and that the away bar was dry at half time. What the jeff is that all about? But anyway, a proper ground with a good atmosphere.
Fast forward to the London Stadium. Sorry, not much better than MK Dons. Stratford isn't in West Ham ffs, or that near really. I guess it's all relative right? And this season's taking away all concession tickets. Corporate profit prickery of the lowest order.
I liked West Ham, in as far as one can like another football club that isn't your own. I know some of their old time supporters agree with me that now, nah, not for me or you or them. A wry smile if they are relegated once again and no one turns up any more at their non football stadium.
Such a shame. |

Good that the club initiated the visit, nice one ITFC.
Certainly puts the debates over tickets in perspective. |

Thread | Much worse than the performance on the pitch
at 10:19 17 Jun 2024
Mowbray and Shearer made a good fist of making Matterface, Tyldesley et al seem competent. A worse pairing I cannot imagine. They were absolutely awful. Mowbray seems to have turned into Alan Partidge and Shearer is so biased and blinkered it's untrue. I don't mind Shearer as a pundit, though he's not great, but as a commentator he is unequivocally rubbish. |

As Fungers and others wrote, that really is the icing on the cake. If WBA win the playoffs it's even more hilarious but frankly who gives a fook right now.
Have lovely weekends one and all.
