I hope Wigan go down, so rent-a-quote xenophobe Dave Whelan loses what tiny relevance he has to top flight football in England.

Whelan hits out over Hammers

 beex said...
Hi All, Got discharged from hospital (back op went well) just in time to watch the game last night.What a great performance. I've had no internet access for nearly 2 weeks so I'm very much outta the loop plus while my back op is healing I can only sit for 10 mins. Here's hoping we smash Fat Sam then we may just scrape over the line. Looking forward to some photos from the Pig last night???
 

 TheRedRisky said...
Actually i dont remember anyone taking any photos. Shame :(

Id love to see some footage from when the first goal went in though :P IT would be fucking mad :p
 

 TheRedRisky said...
Holy fucking shit i was not expecting this. This could be bad, or a blessing in disguise for this weekends game.

Source BBC:

Allardyce resigns as Bolton boss

Sam Allardyce has resigned as manager of Bolton with immediate effect.

He has been linked with the manager's role at Manchester City and refused to attend the post-match press conference after Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

He said: "This has been one of the hardest decisions I've ever made but it's time for a new exciting era for Bolton under different leadership."

Chairman Phil Gartside added: "I have reluctantly accepted the decision. His reasons are private, we respect that."

More to follow.

is this the 5th time an epl clubs manager has left or been changed this season.

I still have only had 4 hours sleep. Now im gonna get it back. G'Night
 

 Dave said...
Risky - I actually heard this (Alladyce resigning) was going to happen on Saturday night. I did think though that it was going to happen at the end of the season. Richard told me at the Party before I went to the pig (he has mates who work for the press).
 

 norven munky said...
westham5096, I'll post about the Adelaide meet up as soon as its confirmed on foxtel.

re Fat Sam I think it might be good for us. I assume they will only put in a caretaker since the season is nearly over. Bolton will be in a wtf is going on mode rather than preparing to play us.

Fulham lost this morning.

Its all good.
 

 norven munky said...
good news about the op Beex!
 

 Anonymous said...
With only 2 games to go I don't think the players will get up for a caretaker manager, but I still think they be formidable.
 

 beggers said...
Great night at the Pig, well worth the trip up. Suffered for it Sunday mind, but it was a small price to pay.

Watched the reply on Sunday as well. Mate we played some lovely stuff, easily the best performance I've seen from us this season. It was all on show, passion, committment, skill the lot. To a player they all put their hand up and played their hearts out. A superb display.

Special mention for LBM and Macarthy, both of whom I've thought have been dodgey to say the least. But LBM finally woke from his slumber took his goal well, tracked back, got stuck in, looked dangerous in attack, basically looked worth the money for a change. Macarthy was outstanding, his run down the left for the second goal was awesome and he threw himself at everything. Oh and Bobby Zamora, what a game! did everything asked of him up front and was a right pain in the arse for Wigan. But also defensively it was him who seemed to clear any corner or free kick they got into the box. I really like the guy and although he's not the most skillful around his willingness to put his hand up every week says it all for me.

Bolton, this game has me worried sick, it always has done. They are a good, solid side who, with the exception of the FA Cup game last year, seem to have our measure. We did give away some bad free kicks, not far outside our box against Wigan and we all know that'll be gravy for Bolton.

We'll need a similar performance against Bolton and hope they are not on their game, but I fear this may be 'a game too far'.

Beexie, how's the back?
 

 norven munky said...
I have to say I thought Wigan flattered us a bit...they were pure shite and while we played very well, they didn't make it that difficult at all.

And Bolton this weekend might be the next (and last) loop on the roller coaster :-(
 

 beggers said...
What trouble did you get in Risky?

Yeah Norven, Wigan were not good but in saying that we jumped on'em whenever we could, we gave them no space at all and let's not forget that usually this is the sort of team/game that we'd let slip. However, Bolton will be a lot harder to breakdown and to contain that's for sure.

I've still got a bad feeling somethings not gonna go our way.
 

 beex said...
Hi All,

Just to let you know that my back op went very well and I was discharged on Saturday just in time to witness our crushing of Wigan. Thanks for all your kind words and support. I hope to see you down the Pig sometime soon for a beer or 12 (haven't had a drink for 9 months cos of the meds I've been on so I've got some catching up to do) We fly back to Brissy on Thursday and then I have quite a few weeks ahead of intense back rehab but I'm walking and have no pain so I'm very pleased.
Thanks again,
beex

PS - Stayin up, Stayin Up, Stayin Up!
 

 beggers said...
Good to hear it all went well mate and you're on the mend. Hope to see you at the Pig soon.
 

 Dave said...
Beex - really glad things are going well mate. We're all looking forward to seeing you down the pub.

I've cut your thread and posted them in the comments here - without wanting to sound like a heartless cunt (I really do care about you darling and I hope your back is 100% better soon) I think we should keep personal stuff to the comments and leave main threads for everything WHU. :-)
 

 Dave said...
Oh and I nearly forgot - Welcome Canning town hammer! How rude of us to not acknowledge your presence. Glad you like our site - feel free to hang around and post comment on a regular basis. I must ask - how did you find us?
 

 Dave said...
Also Beex as it is unlikely that you will be fit to get down the pub soon would you like me to drop your polo shirt off to your house when it is ready? If so email me your address etc and I'll do that for you mate.
 

 beex said...
Thanks Guys for the support.
Dave, thanks for the offer but I'd like to try and get to the Pig in person to grab my shirt. I can walk ok but not for long, couldn't stay to watch a game but may be ok for a pop in.If not, I'll let you know. Fair enough about moving the post (you heartless cunt ;P)
 

 Dave said...
Wow didn't think you'd be on your feet that quick TBH Beex - I have beer ready for you if you do make it to the pub mate. :-) Look forward to seeing you.
 

 Deano said...
beggers, the trouble was i got into the punch up with some drunk cunt when we (me, chris, sam and mads)were eating our kababs...nothing serious, none of us got hurt, just drunk fun

why couldnt he start shit after the sheffield when i actually wanted a fight
 

 Deano said...
chris- i heard your a bit of a pool shark brother

 TheRedRisky said...
Pool shark? Sam sunk 6 of the balls :P

I Didnt keep too badly considering id had like 2 hours sleep. And considering we were facing like the bets team in the comp not to bad.

We lost 3-1 though :P

I was really annoyed with the 2nd goal cos they chipped it to the back post and headed it in and i felt i should have done better> But im pretty happy.
 

 TheRedRisky said...
Im there!

1st post again!
C'MON YOU IRONS!
 

 Terry said...
I will be there. This game is HUGE. I know we've said that a lot this season but this time its for real. Looking forward to a big gathering at the pig.

CMON YOU IRONS!!!!!!!!!

STAYING UP, STAYING UP, STAYING UP.

F365 - The Relegation Dogfight
As always, the relegation dogfight has descended into a dark comedy of error and predicting its next act, let alone the final twist, is a mug's game.

So here goes.

Despite the surprise defeat of Europe-bound Everton, West Ham still resemble a drowning man so deep in the mire that only his flailing hand appears above ground.

A paltry 38 points will probably be sufficient for survival, a figure that fourth-from-bottom Sheffield United should reach next weekend against relegated Watford. The Hammers, with a significantly inferior goal difference compared to their rivals, can only better that tally by beating Wigan and Bolton and then avoiding defeat at Old Trafford on the final day. It's a forlorn hope.

By hosting the Hammers next Saturday, Wigan can determine their own destiny. Victory will virtually guarantee Premiership status for another year and condemn the Londoners to the Championship.

Charlton's spring momentum has stalled and the possibility of a re-enactment of the Great Escape receded further on Saturday when Jonathan Stead equalised for the Blades. With Tottenham (h) and Liverpool (a) to follow, the Addicks' trip to Blackburn is a desperate do-or-die mission.

With a pathetic 36 points, Fulham may already have enough to survive. Encounters against Arsenal and Liverpool follow, so the Cottagers could have to wait for the expected home victories at Anfield and Old Trafford on the final day of the season before their survival is finally confirmed.

Interestingly, only once in the past ten years has the traditional 40-point mark proved decisive in the relegation battle. 2003, when West Ham were thrown out with 42 points, was the exception that proves the new rule that 40 points is now unnecessary. West Brom remained in the Premiership in 2005 with just 35 points, a haul that was also sufficient last season.

The market realignment is an accurate reflection of the stranglehold the Big Four has taken over the league. The flipside of the title's ever-decreasing margin for error is that the league's down-and-nearly-outs are feeding on increasingly pathetic scraps.

fuck we need this...might have to get the rosary beads out

 Anonymous said...
Maybe Keira Knightly will bring us some luck.

from 2005
Still only 20 years old, the tall, slender Briton has already been described as "the new Elizabeth Taylor", but shows none of the pretensions that most actresses assume when finding themselves fêted by Hollywood. A football fanatic and lifelong supporter of newly-promoted West Ham, she is as at home on the terraces at Upton Park as on the red carpet at a glitzy première. And on Saturday mornings she can be found in her local pub in Santa Monica, watching Premiership football on the television.

"The atmosphere there is amazing," she says. "The games are shown at 6am and the pub is always packed. I plan on watching all the West Ham games I can this season. We're back in the Premiership and we're going to stay up," she predicts confidently.
 

 westham5096 said...
sorry to use your post as advertising but am trying to get a message to all the Adelaide Hammers that we are having a meet up at the Rosemont Hotel in Hindley Street,we are meeting from 9.30pm so anyone wanting to see our crucial game against Wigan please feel free to attend. Its a great pub and the atmosphere will be great, anyone that attended the playoff final already knows this.Hoping to see all you Adelaide Hammers there.CMON YOU IRONS this is our last shot at survival.
 

 Deano said...
yeh chris bret is in

 beggers said...
Working on it Dave. Got visitors staying over the weekend so it's a bit complicated. But as I say I'm working on it.
 

 Dave said...
You've always got some fucking piss lame excuse beggers! ;-)
 

 TheRedRisky said...
say you have to make a pilgramage to a sacred site
 

 beggers said...
Risky, lol, sacred site.

Dave, I'm a busy man mate, bit of business here and there, socialising you know how it is.

Anyway, I WILL be there and I'm bringing four others with me. Asked my Dad if he wanted to come and he was up for it as well. Right result seeing how he don't drink! Top man my Dad.

So Davie boy, piss lame my arse!

You and the rest of the Brissie boys best not disappoint me, it's a fucking long way to come so there better be loads of drinking and singing.

C'MON YOU IRONS!!!!
 

 Dave said...
I've bumped this to get the publicity up before tomorrow.

Beggers - mate I sent you an email this morning to text me your mobile. If you didn't get it my mobile is 0415 417557 - text me your number mate and I'll give you a bell tomorrow night.
 

 Deano said...
come on boys lets snap these cunts!!!!

fuck im pumped for this game

then after we roll those wigan we can watch the aussies pump those dirty cheating curry munching cunts

ohh its all happening
 

 Dave said...
Deano - Less of the racism mate!
 

 Terry said...
Not long to go now, about 8 hours and the tension is killing me. I've already changed my underwear twice today lol. I think i might start up on the piss early. Cant wait to see everybody there. Looks like we are gonna get heaps of ppl so if we win lets go fucking mental.

CMON YOU IRONS!!!!!!!!!
 

 TheRedRisky said...
I Hope no one minds, i put a topic on KUMB a few days ago advertising it. I did the same thing for the arsenal game. So heres hoping we get a few more :P

Ive been trying to kill time for about 5 hours now and i cant wait. Im thinking of going in about 9 again, if just so im not walking around the house bored.
 

 Scott said...
Scotty the mackem here... I'll be coming along tonight, be there around 10:30, hoping to see you hammers stay up, I'll be singin for ya!
 

 beggers said...
Fuck me! 5.5 mill! they're 'avin a laugh! Still no points deduction gives us a chance.

east london lalala, east london lalala......
 

 Micky said...
5.5M... thats like being fined a whole Tommy Repka....!
 

 BrisvegasHammer said...
Or as I read on another forum, Could we send Matt Upson To the Premier League as Payment. As he has played a total of 41 mins for us
 

 norven munky said...
lol
 

 Dave said...
Well the Times is printing something less controversial and probably closer to the truth. It is obvious that the hearing is happening but anything with regards to the punishment is pure speculation that's all I'm saying. I don't beleive we will be deducted points and if we do get points deducted then I think they will be given back upon appeal.
 

 beggers said...
It was the negative speculation that bothered me, at least this articles positive! Who knows what is fact or fiction? Bottom line is that the lads need to be fully focused on this game and don't need any distractions.

Whatever happens will be down the track that's for sure, what with appeals etc. But it's the now we've got to come to grips with, worry about the football and let the vultures worry about the legal shite.

Hope we get a few numbers tomorrow night? Primed for a big one.

OH EAST LONDON, IS WONDERFUL.....
 

 TheRedRisky said...
West Ham handed record £5.5m fine
West Ham have been fined £5.5m after being found guilty over charges relating to the transfers of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.

But the Hammers have avoided a points deduction which could have ended their hopes of staying in the Premeirship.

More to follow.
 

 Terry said...
£5.5 Million is ridiculous, but at least its not points i guess.
 

 TheRedRisky said...
Dont forget Magnusson will be sueing brown for every penny of it :p
 

 Anonymous said...
its also unlikely tevez will play this season again
 

 Anonymous said...
No Tevez is cleared to play the final three games. Come on you Irons!
 

 Dave said...
The Dailly express is a worse rag than the sun mate. We can only do what we can on the pitch and see what happens.

As far as I'm concerned though they have already set a precedent in that when Spurs were docked points for crimes of a previous regime they were re-instated because it was beyond the current regime's control.
 

 tjhammer said...
yeah i agree with dave, lets concentrate on our games and worry bout this later
 

 norven munky said...
the suggestion is that the points could be docked even before we play our next game so we might not be able to 'concentrate on our games and worry about this later'.

The players can't get focused for 6 pointers at the best of times, how they gonna cope if it comes out that we have been docked points and its all over the press.

Obviously we would appeal and as Dave said be some chance of winning, but if the decision and resultant media circus screws up our mental preparation for the upcoming crucial games the appeal won't matter.

Just my 2c.
 

 Anonymous said...
We play better when the pressure is off - that's why we struggle in the six pointers then beat the Arsenals and Man Utds! So here is the plan - we get docked 3 points, beat Wigan beat Bolton, then get the three points back on appeal. Go to Old Trafford with 38 points (which may even be enough to stay up).
 

 beggers said...
Fucking Journo's! Norverns right, this sort of shit is all we need. Hopefully, it's all bullshit and the players have the sense to disregard any rubbish reported by these retards.
 

 TheRedRisky said...
I Read that at the beggining of the week anyway. Weve known it was coming for a long time anyway.

Wasnt it just 1 month ago were BBC were saying wed get fined but no points reduced?
 

 Dave said...
Like I said Norven - The express is a shameless rag that is just trying to stir it up for us - I do not beleive for one minute there will be a decision on points deduction prior to the Wigan game. The press can suggest what they wish - it is 99% bullshit anyway.
 

 tjhammer said...
"Although an appeal is inevitable if points are docked"
Norven even if we are docked points tommorrow i'm sure it wont be the end of it. It could be weeks before this is finally sorted. thats what i mean bout worry bout the game
 

 westham5096 said...
thankyou norven munkey that is great at least the word is now out there.
 

 Greg said...
Hey guys.

My wife is away this weekend with the kids and I am looking for something to do. One of my mates suggested we go on a fishing weekend. I'm going to talk him into coming over from Melbourne to join you for the game. You will recognise me with my Irons cap, jumper, scarf and flag. My mate will be wearing the Manure jumper.

Hopefully I can swing things my way to make it across.

Cheers

HAMMERS OFFER FREE TRAVEL TO FANS


West Ham will be roared on by nearly 6,000 fans at Wigan on Saturday after the players and chairman Eggert Magnusson agreed to fund free coach travel to the JJB Stadium.

The Hammers had their request for increased ticket allocation accepted ahead of the vital relegation clash and at least 34 coaches will travel from east London on Saturday morning.

The idea came from captain Nigel Reo-Coker and Lucas Neill and Magnusson was happy to pitch in as the Hammers look to pull off a great escape.

West Ham 1 – Everton 0

Fucking West Ham, you bastards. Either crush our spirit or just stay the fuck up. I can’t take it any longer.

One week all hope is lost and then the next week hope is restored albeit with even slimmer chances, but we still dare to dream. Then you take us to the depths of despair and then the whole bloody process begins again.

WHY?
 

 westham5096 said...
Well here we go again just when you think we are done and dusted we get a result.Wigan now becomes an absolutely HUGE game.Dave please could you post about our Adelaide Hammers meeting on your site, we now really want a huge gathering got about 20 so far.Cmon u HAMMERS do us proud!!!!!!

OMG, once again im at a friends house, with the sky sports updates going, having a heart attak every time they go "THERES A GOAL!"

We'll lose to wigan, cos weve havent won a 6 pointer allyear. but if we do win it then fuck me, where in with a chance.

We may be going to that Man U game with a chance of getting out.

And once again everyone gave me crap for following my team. Still wearing my shirt :P

CMON YOU IRONS!

Zamora the scorer - I think I adore ya.

Chris - we'll take 3 points vs Wigan!

hey redrisky, does 6 points against Arsenal count? :-)
 

 beggers said...
Great win against a good side. TBH didn't think we'd be up for it. Just goes to show what I know.

Zamora's goal was a gem, pure class.

Still some light. But I'm worried sick. The Westhamness of this season is killing me. Still.....
