When on form he’s a real quality player. He's been a lost to Spurs for about 6 months, just hasn't been interested since he made his mind up to leave.

owls maniac Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 West Ham need to drop and have a proper clear out. The crap owners, drab managers, uninterested players. All against a backdrop of an athletics stadium. What a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come the pen wasn't ruled out for handball? seems one rule for the big boys and another for everyone else. It was deemed accidental. The new law about the attacking team being penalised for accidentally handling the ball is only for if it's part of the move that ends in the goal, not if it's part of the move that ends in a penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsie Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hope Watford stay up (and I wrote them off and love an underdog) and west ham dropping with the other two. Somehow, can Vila go too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the lower tier blocks have huge empty spaces behind makes it feel really disjointed, although admittedly the atmosphere wasn't as bad I was expecting it to be (it was a League Cup tie). But the oddest thing for me was that fans were carrying big buckets of popcorn instead of pies and burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 West Ham's stadium is the worst football stadium in the PL. It has completely and utterly sucked the life out of that club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corporate was fantastic best I have been too. But tbf I thought the ground would be horrible, I don’t like many of the new grounds but I think it was good. And like you said the atmosphere was decent. I'm from Surrey. Never seen it before in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time you watch them on tv they look like a club dying on its feet. West Ham have lost their soul, there is no life there anymore. Upton Park (Boleyn Ground) was a fantastic stadium, with an amazing atmosphere. There is a difference between being a great stadium and a great football stadium. Anything with a running track is the flipping sh*ts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably judging it on the opinion of most West Ham fans who would move back to Upton Park in a heartbeat. It may look nice, it may have great corporate facilities but it was not built for football and the football fans inside it do not want their club to be there. This has contributing to the general negative vibe that has been a part of the club since they moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Go and ask a West Ham what they think of it. Every West Ham fan I've ever seen talk about that stadium absolutely hates it. They never wanted to leave Upton Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Also worth noting that it isn't West Ham's stadium - they rent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru dat The way the stands are designed means the fans are just too far from the pitch and any atmosphere gets lost in space. Now the modern amenities of the stadium and its transport connections are no doubt great but they don't do anything for what goes on inside the ground. Now you look at how the Spurs ground has been designed you can see how they've maintained the closeness like it was at WHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 1 hour ago, 2roland2 said: I disagree, I watched them against Bournemouth, hardly a big game but the atmosphere was very good and as I said was very pleasantly surprised in general. I haven’t been to the new spurs ground yet but I’m looking forward to seeing it. You must have caught them on a good day. https://talksport.com/football/580112/ranking-premier-league-atmosphere-home-stadium-worst-best/ there are some surveys in which the stadium ranks favourably, but these are in factors such as modernity and corporate areas, not factors which the traditional fan base woould see as a priority. As you say, thee quality of the stadium can't be argued with but the feeling of home as a football ground is far more important in generating a positive atmosphere regularly for home games. It was ideal for the purpose it was built for, not football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near as bad as people make out. I would t say it’s the best but nowhere near the worst. as you say the facilities are brilliant as for talk sport I can’t take anything they say serious all they do is have two presenters at the opposite end of each topic spectrum to wee wee people off. Not going to argue with that, not listened to any of their phone-in based shows for years, only serves to try and wind people up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Liverpool have looked really dominant this year, right? Sort of a level above all the other teams? Almost... enhanced? https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/spanish-police-shut-down-huge-epo-ring-that-posted-banned-substances-to-athletes-worldwide-448042 Just saying.

WalthamOwl Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Really do rate Wolves as a club. Play some lovely stuff. As I’ve said not so long ago there where lots of similarities with us and them. Hope they beat Man U tonight.
