Was it the WHU v Millwall cup game at Upton Park a few years back that turned really, really nasty? (both fans invading the pitch etc)

West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm worried about the supporters. We had a wonderful show planned and some won't be able to stay now."

Edit

Maybe someone should show him the video. What a moron. I'd usually quite enjoy man utd getting ****, but WHU irritate the **** out of me - esp. their chairman and their ''bigger than everyone'' attitude.

Yeah, this makes it even more odd though. He hasn't signed that new contract yet, lots of talk about it....but it was left with ''it's with the lawyers' and now he's spotted with his coaching staff and a Utd advisor. Hmmm. I really hope there's something in this, it could be a very fun summer if that's the case.

There are some nice little chats on the spurs forums, reminds me of how we felt when he was touting himself around at the end of his time here. A sweet little bit of karma may be on the way.

Yeah, bloody utd. Trashing their own coach. Anything to disrupt the West Ham Utd festival of life.

Looks like Jesus, yeah. Maybe it's just a manger to ex manager chat? Or does Fergie still have a 'proper' say at the higher echelons at Utd? He hasn't actually signed the deal he spoke about, which does make you wonder.

Nope, seeing as our final place may come down to GD.

...What are you implying?

It's gone under the radar as much as the fact it was Gerrard's birthday on the cup final that year.

lol @ utd. Sanches was their main target.

That would bring an equally euphoric reaction. West Ham v Utd Stoke v West Ham Liverpool v Chelsea West Brom v Liverpool We only really need a Liverpool/West Ham slip up in 1 of those 4 matches, and then it's totally in our hands for Sunday. I think the chances of that are quite high. (This is finishing top 7 though, not 6th)

You've got it. Basically, 5th is a EL place, straight into the group stage, whatever. 6th is an EL place, but will be an automatic group stage place if Utd beat Palace. 7th will be a third qualifying EL place if Utd beat Palace. If Palace beat Utd, then the league positions will end at 6th

A very arrogant attitude and one which will put us out on our arses.

And for the last time this season..... bump!

People are seriously getting their knickers in a twist on this thread. All that really needs to be said is that it's great news, it strengthens our position and sends out a message of commitment to other players. I noticed Koeman said he hopes to have a few more to announce in the coming weeks - I'd fully expect Long, Tadic, Fraser to be next down the line.

The most satisfying win of the season by far. I thought we started slowly and Spurs seemed to start with a point to prove, but we got the 1-1 at the right time. That seemed to kill off any belief they had and from then on in it was us who had the better chances. Although they had more of the ball, most of that was between the CB's and sideways in midfield. The amount of times you saw the likes of Erikksen stopping, looking, then going back is great credit to our organisation. There's 'putting men behind the ball' and then there's tactically holding a shape and having ways to evolve from that shape into an attacking move, and we mastered that to the T today. Perfect away performance and now Koeman can say he has beaten every single premier league club in his 2 seasons here. In my honest opinion, I cannot see both Liverpool and West Ham winning both of their remaining games - it would be incredibly freakish if they did, so as long as we win on the last day I think we'll be in the same position as last year - rooting for a team in the FA Cup final!

The north london yobo's aren't happy with it, saying it's too big a ban. It was a nothing incident, apparently. I kind of agree, if someone tried to gauge my eye out at the weekend I'd laugh it off - just proper banter!

Yeah that's exactly it, not sure why the media/press are getting their knickers in a twist over it all. Simple maths - win 2 games, get 63pts, 90%+ chance of finishing top 7 I'd say. Worry over.

I wonder where toe_punt went? It's not like he was made to look like a fool or anything.

There's more chance of me marrying Cheryl Fernandez-whatsit

Another classic thread from 9-3.

But what he said is basically no different to what Raneri has come out with this year.

This thread is a fine example of why you can never snapshot a period of games and conclude the entire outcome of the season based on that period. I think our early exit from Europe hurt us mentally, I think it affected us more than we let on. We fought so hard for that last year and to go out so meekly must have dropped the morale.
