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

[muppetman]

Genuinely think they're going to win this. None of the other sides are much cop.

Fucks me off so much that we binned off this and the Europa so often.

Genuinely think if we'd beaten Mura away we'd have had a clear run to the final. Roma would of course have been a challenge there.

That's where we knew Nuno's approach was failing.

Conte was in charge by that time.

To be fair to Nuno, we've been failing in Europe before and after.

We are just not good enough mentally as a team and club. It's happened multiple times in cups... sadly... we've had so many good opportunities in recent years.

We need to get off our high horse and respect all tournaments and any opponent...

With the right attitude and commitment we would have won a Conference League or European L. by now.

I feel for the fans who went all over the country for EFL and FA cup ties and also to the arse end of Europe on many occasions spending loads of money and time but being let down in later stages of the competions by the team not bothering, not just CL years but EL & CL too.

The Kumb website is literally full of joy. Yesterday night's result was literally the highlight of their season, yet they have the brass neck to say they're not obsessed with us. They are more desperate to see us fail than they are in actually winning something. Loads of posts literally piling in on our result.

Yes we went out of the FA Cup and Champions League tamely. However many of their fans are the very essence of being completely unaware of the self irony they display when they call us perennial trophy dodgers.

They're battling near the basement and they're more interested in revelling in our failure.

So when was the last time they won a trophy ? Was it more than 28 years before us ?

Or was it 5 if you count the 2003 East London Triangle Cup which happens every year and involves them and Leyton Orient and Dagenham and Redbridge, and for the last 18 seasons they proudly display 3rd place rosettes signifying their 3rd place finishes in said East London Triangle Cup.......OK I jest in the last paragraph, but you get the gist with their deflection irony.

Not to be funny, but this echoes us and the Gooners this season. Obviously at a higher level.

Only just seen the news that Bowen became West Ham’s record European goal scorer last night. He’s scored 8.

For context, Lamela and Lucas Moura have scored 12 in Europe for us. Our record European goal scorer is obviously Harry, with 45!! Kinda made me appreciate the amount of European football we’ve had in the past decade.

Oh it was Alkmaar Nuno kept the first team home for, I'd got it as Mura in my head.

We're so shocking away from home in Europe it's incredible.

For context, that's three more than Haaland had on Tuesday v. Leipzig.

What an awful time for the family

Ann Summers boss Jacqueline Gold dies aged 62

Ms Gold transformed the company into a multi-million pound business and championed women in business.

Yeah, that's pretty sad.
She was an ambassador and supporter of the children's charity that I work for because her son received care there.
A very decent lady by all accounts.

It stems from the owners.

They want CL qualification at any expense.

That means a coach is likely to put out weakened sides as they carefully prioritise PL.

Nothing wrong with prioritising PL but to totally disregard the EL pisses me off.

Why bother qualifying for the knock out stages if you just treat it as third rate.

I also think players like Kane have been a bit of an issue with it lately.

His goal is the very top, as it should be, he doesnt want to be swanning around arse end of Europe, nor is he gonna approach a EL or ECL knock out game the same as he would do on a PL or CL game.

He would certainly become more interested the closer we get to a final but we disgrace ourselves well before that happens.

To win a trophy like the EL, I think you need players who are trying to impress and sense it's their best chance of silverware.

Or a winning mentality from board room level downwards.

We have neither

 

[peispurs]

Southampton look impotent against West Ham. Yet score 2 against us in the closing 10 minutes. Our defenders need to be massively upgraded.

Hope this man got his shirt..

That's the video equivalent of our match day threads - outstanding.
