I hope you feel better after that little tantrum. If you cannot express yourself in a more coherent and polite manner then do us all a favour and give your supoort to another team worthy of your intellect and taste.

...on the other hand don't we are down 0-1!!!!!!

According to them we could be moving Piq to Sunderland?.....

As a postscript, I can distinctly recall (too many years ago) buying a programme at the beginning of a season when you would get a photo of the first team squad. It was spread across the middle two pages, with the team proudly posing in three broad ranks, taken by a camera with a panaromic lens.
Today, you could take a photo of the squad with my grandad's box brownie....that's progress for you :S

I agree that it would be a shame to lose any academy player who could make it to the frirst team squad. Likewise it would be better to say goodbye to any first team player not meeting the standards required.
But it is difficult to sell your worst players to another club, they are just as able to see their weaknesses as we do. Conversely it is, of course, much easier to sell emerging talent.
You point out those who have gone but are they getting regular first team football? In the cases of Hines and Stanislas they are not even though they are at a less successful club.
Finally, as we are now restricted in the size of the first team squad and the number of subs, the opportunity to use / keep the sort of squad we had in the past is not possible, let alone the ability to afford them. So the sad fact is that the club has to be more demanding of those who aspire to make the grade. Regretably, it is a tougher trade today

Amazing talent....never missed a goal scoring opportunity in al those clips from You Tube :) Oh well, it is a good way to start the week even if reality will kick-in by lunchtime!
On a more serious note, at least he seems to have some talent in front of goal and has played at a reasonable level, so who knows what he may do for us?

Just read this Talksport link: http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/p...

Readng between the lines it is possible to detect that it is not in the interest of Kia Joorabchian for the loan deal to go through....any comments?

Ditto - well said JS.
As for CT joining permanently, that's simple, just ask AussieGraham for the balance! :D

Yes it would be great.... but do you think Tevez will be happy to sit on the bench waiting for Piq to grind to a complete halt before getting his chance to play for 20 minutes? :D:D

Many thanks for that post Ade Coker. I was a lucky young boy as my dad worked with a friend of Ernie. Subsequently we got free tickets from time to time and hence my allegiance to WHU was forged forever.
RIP Ernie from a very grateful supporter to a greater servant of West Ham Utd.

Too true...though it would have been good for our GD if we had kept a clean sheet. But a win is a win:D COYI!
