Then, you had a Tory Government, a Tory London Mayor, Lord Tory Coe, Tory Donor Porn Twins and soon to be Lady Tory Brady all pissing in the same pot... taking the piss out of the rest of us!!

The least the Spammers should have paid was the net proceeds of selling Upton Park.
To be fair, pretty much the lot was under Labour control when the decision was made to disregard football when building the bloody thing - something hugely criticised at the time.

Carroll was held at gun point when he left training. The spammers must really be pissed with their team to hold players up at gun point.

You're missing the point, I was referring to what many are calling the "Deal of the centuary"
A private company paying 15m of 323m conversion cost when City had to pay half!!!

What tradesmen call charging "Mates rates"

Double whammy in the Standard last night...

The Hammers are unlikely to play at home next term until September because of the delay in converting the stadium back to football following a summer of athletics there.

And...

Sadiq Khan today ordered an inquiry into the finances of the Olympic Stadium after it emerged that the total cost of converting the arena for West Ham’s use has soared by £51m.

I so hope they uncover something massively dodgy that implicated the Dildo bros' and Miss Piggy in a big way. Is that too much to ask for?

No, I don't think so. Would it be too much to ask that after the investigation West Ham lose their tenancy and are left homeless and begging Leyton Orient to ground share?

Spammers pay 2m rent a year 1/4 of what it costs to put out the retractable seating, remind me again how this is good for the tax payer, we'd be saving at least 6m a year by simply doing nothing with it

£8m to move the seats each time? That is crazy and is not a reasonable cost.
So they should lock the seats back to their olympic configuration and buy some large video screens.

"Most successful stadium migration ever" - Brady


Let's let that hang there for a moment.

Absolute BS. No way was Carroll at training!!!
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" :p

Saying you can't go shopping when injured is about as stupid as when my mum used to say I couldn't play mega drive because I was off school sick.
