If they don't turn this around against a 10 man League 1 team, it might well be the most West Ham thing to ever happen.

And I will immediately make myself a cuppa, go onto KUMB, sit back and watch it all kick off. It'll be marvellous.

@TheChosenOne What was the red card for? i missed it.

I'm watching this one on my Ipad, hence late reply, the first yellow was a stupid take down just inside the West Ham half, the second was a soft one, didn't see it too clearly, on edge of the box, running alongside Hernandez who went down from arm to arm contact. I'd need to see it again from various angles to be 100% convinced but as stated its his 3rd red in 5 matches..

AFC W will probably run out of steam at 65 unfortunately but I can only hope they hang on.

The land was indeed contaminated. That's one of the main reasons why the £500m+ headline cost of the OS was a misunderstanding. It included the remediation of the whole site.

There are two usual ways to deal with contaminated land. You can do one or the other or both, depending on the severity and nature of the contamination, the depth to which the ground is compromised and the use to which the land is intended to be put.

You can either remove and replace the contaminated soil, taking the old soil to a specialist hazardous waste tip, or you can cap it with a suitable membrane that will prevent the contaminants from escaping. Often you do both: cart away 0.5m or 1.0m of soil, lay down a capping membrane and then import replacement soil. I don't know the details at the OS, but the contamination was severe, so I'd expect them to have done both.

In theory: if they only reduced level to remove all the contaminated soil, then they could excavate and lower the pitch if that were otherwise feasible (which I doubt); if they capped it, then they can't reduce level at all without redoing all the containment measures, which would be ££££; if they did both, they could reduce level down to the cap and no further.

It's not a practical idea.

It's West Ham. They'd probably just try putting some tin foil over it.

West Ham should just embrace relegation.
They might win more league games if they dropped a division or 2.

Didn't realise there was no extra time in the LC these days: Wimbledon have a really decent shout now with 10 minutes left to go! Please please please knock West Ham out.

Still can't believe we blew that game against them last year.
