Ex Lion Tamer

I'd be interested to hear from older posters about who was better between Niemi and Flowers

OK he's more of a cult hero but don't tell me you didn't love Kelvin by the end

Are centre partings back in fashion now then? It's like the 90s never ended

Well if he said it on a conspiracy theorist podcast then it must be true! Why were Thompson and Nicholas sacked at the same time?

The keeper has narrowed the angle far, far better here than in the other one

I was excited when David Speedie joined. I thought Perry Groves might be good for us.

I honestly can't think of a player who's had a stranger development. Glad he's doing better now though

Steve de Ridder sure looked good on that YouTube video

We have players scoring screamers from all over the pitch now. Talk about a team in form

Mate, Marsden was fantastic. Worked so well with Bridge

I was desperate for Marco Silva to take over from Pellegrino

A charity can't just start running a private business. The trustees could separately get together and form a board to run the business, but they might be seen as having a conflict of interest

Brilliant finish to lift it over the defender

Poch made those players into what they were. Nuno, past-his-prime Mourinho, Sherwood, already-failed-at-Chelsea Villas-Boas, Ramos, Santini, all total failures as manager, all chosen by Levy. Add that to his pointless haggling over money which only hurts his own squad, and yes, he's a terrible chairman. Marginally better than Lowe, perhaps, but there's not much in it

It would be a real shame if all the promoted teams went down but it's starting to look that way. When was the last time that happened?

He got lucky with Poch, he's otherwise a terrible chairman, one of the worst in the league

Forster wouldn't accept a one year deal. I'd keep McCarthy as back up and sign a new number 1

Do Tino and JWP count? They both signed 5 year contracts

Speaking personally, I never said he would definitely turn it around, just that he had to be given more of a chance given the injury problems and his past successes. It was the "out" brigade who were so convinced of their own opinion that they would have got rid of our best manager since Poch

Life is good in the cult right now

West Ham simply have a huge catchment area east of London and up into Essex where there are no other sizeable clubs

Exactly. Surely it's a win for everyone if he stays another season on loan

There's a point where KWP gets forced back and looks under some pressure, yet a few passes later we're right back at them
