Shaki Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 This article shows some of the views in the Olympic stadium that West Ham it seems will be playing in...Would you watch football at this ground? - Yahoo! Eurosport UKWould anyone seriously pay for that view?Not to see a Championship game. Lol. The SPL is way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's just not a football ground and shouldn't be used as one. Glad Spurs didn't win that bid. I don't like Spurs but they already have a fantastic ground. Swapping it for that soulless dome would be criminal. Love grounds where the stands are right on the dead ball line, which WHL pretty much has.Aye WHL is fantastic but with a waiting list of 20,000 for season tickets and a ridiculously low capacity (36,000) for an upper-half of the table EPL team it's time for something positive to be done about it. We wanted to keep the seats closer to the pitch, hence having to re-build it after the Olympics. As usual cunts said no to the more logical step of utilising it to it's maximum capacity rather than having an excruitiatingly large Championship stadium...

Soda Jerk Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 True. WHL looks like it houses alot more people than it actually does. Is extending not an option, like Old Trafford did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 What happened to the site over the road from WHL I thought they got permission to build a stadium there at one point?WHL does look like a great ground to visist.

Alkaline Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 True. WHL looks like it houses alot more people than it actually does. Is extending not an option, like Old Trafford did?Compulsory purchase orders for the area projected as the new stadium site are ridiculously expensive and would mean pushing a large number of people out of their homes (just take a look at the Glasgow shennanigans for the Commonwealth Games as to how ugly that can turn).I would prefer that to the Olympic Stadium as it keeps Spurs in Tottenham but it may not be feasible as a long-term strategy.

Paranoid Android Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 It feels inevitable that this will become another Man U come back but if West Ham hold on and win the press will be able to write loads of headlines about the title race being blown open and cats being thrown amongst pigeons.

Soda Jerk Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 It's a dull game. Both teams playing crap. Two penalties are the difference. Definite handball for the first. The second one is soft. Cole leaves a leg in and flounders over softly. What a puff.Gibson is not a footballer. He is bad at all things. He's not even that good at shooting. He just takes a fuckload of shots. With that sort of shot ratio, you expect some of them to go in, no matter who you are.Scott Parker though. He is all that is man. He's not done much in this game so far, but I like watching him play. I like his confidence to actually run forwards with the ball in a congested midfield, rather than back-pedalling and passing it sideways.Can't see a United comeback. There's no final ball. West Ham can afford so many men behind the ball now. Park and Giggs are coming in centrally so there's no left side and Valencia has been marked out of the game. Nothing is going to be threaded through the middle with Gibson at the helm either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Also, Jose Mourinho's unbeaten at home record is finally over thanks to Sporting Gijon. Spanning 9 years. Mental! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Think thats the EPL pretty much done and dusted now, cannot see Man Utd throwing it away. My own team are now five games unbeaten even if four of them were draws. What a shit season, can't wait it for it to be over! Not even an international championship to look forward to in the summer either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I can't believe they lost that match. This was supposed to be the weekend the gap closed. Amazing record he had, I'm almost kind of sad it's over. It had become an irrefutable fact of football, Jose doesn't lose at home in the league.

Soda Jerk Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Didn't realise Hibs had signed Akpo Sodje, former Wednesday favourite. The Djibril Cisse of semi professional football.Didn't score many for us, but we loved him because he wanted to smack the living piss out Chris I AM A CUNT Morgan. And who in football is more deserving a shitkicking than he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Also, a big deal is made of Scholes never learning how to tackle, but he's got fuck all on EssienEssien won't be happy until the only person fit enough to play football again is Essien.

Guest idol_wild Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 When Essien first came to the Premiership he was only talked about as a dirty player but then people realised he is awesome in every other way and the reckless challenges started being ignored.A la Stevsie Gerrard. For my money, one of the most genuinely complete footballers that has ever lived. He's a filthy, cheating, hacking mink though. In fact, I'd almost go as far to call him scum.But he can fairly play fitba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not he means to be his tackles are dangerous though and he needs cut them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 It made it even sweeter that it was Foster who boobed to let Goodwillie away for the winner Watching that goal was painful though, I just wanted him to pass it and make sure that McGregor had no hope at all. Would have been awful if he had fucked it up by going it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
