Let's All Laugh At... Let's All Laugh At West Ham

[Wellspurs]

My uncle actually has a great story about Andy Carroll.

Apparently, one day, my uncle was walking down a street in London when guess who walks out of a clothes shop? Big man Andy himself.

This was during a time when Andy Carroll was supposed to be injured, but he was walking normally and carrying 3 heavy shopping bags in his hand.

Next thing a stranger goes up to him and says,
"Oi, mate, aren't you supposed to be injured?".

After the chap says this Andy pretends to start limping and clutches his leg as if it hurts and says,
"Yeah, I am, see." and hurries off before the chap can ask him more.

Says a lot about Andy's "injuries"

Was he coming out of one of the porn twin shops? He might have bought some dolls to thrash himself to death with!!

@riggi do you think as a bit of an olive branch we should invite them to share our new purpose built stadium with them?

No.

you couldn't make it up...it now turns out that west ham's safety officer resigned because of his concerns over the safety of the retractable stands

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/nov/03/olympic-stadium-chris-baker-ravi-sharma

and his deputy decided he didn't want to work there anymore after raising concerns about policing and stewarding after the AC/DC concert at the stadium

If there were problems at a fucking concert, what in the world could possibly make them think it would be better for west ham games? Christ. That's just mind bogglingly stupid.

Sorry to back track but I have been away

Why on earth is a club donating to a political party? Oh I get it....
Taking the tax breaks out of the equation it still shouldn't have been allowed, if the dildo ménage et tois want to be making donations then surely it should be done on a personal basis as I'm sure a few of their supporters would say they aren't acting in their interest.

Gold's daughter Jacqueline, the CEO of Ann Summers, was made a CBE this year "for services to Entrepreneurship"
I suppose it didn't hurt that she donated £2million to the Tories' Election Campaign. So they do it on a personal level too.

To be fair, I believe she was the driving force behind Ann Summers. I guess it's always made easier when daddy has money to burn and backs you 100% but she is a succesful entrepreneur. She's got much more about her than that fraud Brady.

Them lot love a bit of cash for honours though.

I've realised I might have a bit of a problem with this West Ham thing.

I used to be a staunch supporter of the 'support your team more than you hate another' philosophy. I never bothered with the 'stand up' songs, didn't feel so strongly about hating Arsenal or watching Chelsea's fall from grace too much really. Maybe I'd join in for a bit of fun or banter, but as clubs they never bothered me too much. I much prefer a nice chat about other team's players being 'not too bad actually', or 'he'd be good for us to be honest'.

West Ham though. I don't know, they've always been a bit too big for their own boots, but something about them these days has really got me disliking them a lot more than I should.

I've found myself clicking on West Ham failure articles before clicking on Spurs stories online, searching for Karen Brady's twitter to see what see's saying, searching West Ham forums for stories of anguish and sorrow while I drink my morning tea.

I've decided that I've got a bit too obsessed with seeing them fail so much. It doesn't help that they keep doing it so often that keeps me hooked, but still, I do think I've got in a bit too deep for my liking.

I'm sure a Spurs win will sort me out and take me away from this urge to be fed with everything London Stadium, Newham Council, Brady, Gold and Sullivan, but until that happens I will only be having my laughs from reading this thread and trying to hate West Ham a tiny bit less.

If there's a club that'll do it to you though, it was always going to be West Ham.

It was stupid to build an expensive athletics-only stadium in the first place. For what, a few weeks of athletics?

Like the expert said yesterday, build a football stadium that could also host athletics, not one that is clearly, obviously shit for football at a moment's glance.

It wasn't that expensive and was designed to be mostly dismantled, leaving a much smaller athletics stadium. The thing that's made it expensive is the failed attempt to turn it into a football stadium.

I know where you're coming from. I've been getting by minute by minute today and when Antonio put them 1-0 up, I started to relax. No need for me to read the match report. No need for me to go on KUMB. I could just get on with my life.

And then Adrian f***s up and, before I know it, I'm back on KUMB reading posts like..

"Give Randolph a run, at least he doesn't act like my 6 year old after 3 fruit shoots and a pack of skittles."



And I'm happy again, wallowing in my addiction, but deep inside I'm all...

Legacy was the problem with the 2012 games

Olympics stadiums can be be knocked down after. Happened before and will happen again no doubt. 2012 was great and the memories will always be there. They'll never relive it though, which is what they seem to want to do. Without the specialness of the olympics it's just a shit, oversized stadium.

I'll take a loss tommrow aslong as it means we beat them.

I really don't want to lose to Arsenal but we CANNOT LOSE TO WEST HAM.

Noble looked utterly distraught when he picked up his yellow card today, i had the sound muted so didn't realise what it meant. I thought to myself, wow that's the kind of look a player has when he realises he'll miss the cup final........ it then became crystal clear what "that look" meant for Mr.west ham

“Clearly it’s not a football-specific stadium. I had to put contact lenses in to see to the far side. It’s a fantastic opportunity: some people don’t like change but it’s a fantastic stadium, they will be fine.

I can't tell if he's trolling or just an idiot.
