If he ends up at The Spammers he is simply a mercenary

 

Or stupid.

Or both.

 

Have you ever seen an interview with him? Makes Andy Carroll look like a member of Mensa.

 

Careful, we're getting into the McKenzie Zone...

 

Just to put this into perspective for the rest of our viewers: KAS Eupen finished 13th in the Belgian league last season, and have a stadium capacity of 8,363.

That kid is not full of seasoned international. dg

 

This is a meaningful and valid point. dg

Sounds fair!

 

Saying they have the worst atmosphere implies that either stadium actually has an atmosphere...

 

Mars came 18th and the moon 17th. More atmosphere in a vacuum.

 

Taken from The Grauniad...

West Ham will be unable to play their first home game of the season at home to Southampton on 19 August because the London Stadium will not be ready after the World Athletics Championships.

The length of time involved in restoring rows of seats which need to be moved to accommodate the running track is such that the stadium will not be in a state to host the match.

The World Athletics Championships finishes on Sunday 13 August and West Ham confirmed after the Premier League fixtures for 2017-18 had been released on Wednesday that their first home game will be against Huddersfield Town on 9 September.

 

The funniest part of this is how West Ham have convinced themselves that they actually need the additional seats.

 

Once that Athletics meeting is done, with Lord Sebastian Coe the head of the IAAF, I presume that the monstrosity will be knocked down and we will get to pay for a proper football stadium to be built whilst they move into the stadium that used to belong to a club that was called Leyton Orient?

The architect of this abuse of public funds is now this country's Foreign Secretary. Shameful!

 

That is of course if Orient will accept an offer of a pack of cheese & onion crisps and Andy Carroll as rent!

 

They might hold out for a better offer. 2 packets of crisps. Only.

 

Isn't there some penalty from not being able to fulfill your fixtures? Wet Spam went into the new season knowing fully well that they could not play a home game on the first day. I say this partly in jest but I bet there are PL rules in some small print about what the club undertakes (in a very legal sense) to do by way of hosting fixtures.

Of course the expenditure in converting the place back into an (alleged) football stadium will be borne by the taxpayer.

 

This is another **** up for the fixture list compilers. Any more to add to it?
The obvious thing to do would be to have West Ham away, but that would mean that we'd be at home, so Arsenal would also be away.
Can't have that, apparently.

 

This was flagged up by West Ham over a year ago. Frankly, this one is down to the PL a who should have given them an away game in the same way they should never have given us Burnley at home on a date when Wembley is unavaailable.

 

According to some sources, Alvaro Arbeloa has apparently announced his retirement from football. This must be some form of error as I saw him at The Taxpayer's Stadium last season and he'd already clearly retired.
