Can't complain too much though at least were not worrying bout playin' in the Championship next year.

Not much love for the way we play, so many long balls. Ever notice we pass the ball around the back four, then Upson or Ferdinand then gives it to Green who boots it up anyway. Not worth staying up to 2am in the morning for. Love your blog, Love West Ham. Not much love for the way we play, so many long balls.

Just goes to show how much the fans love the club. Don't forget to let Curbs know of any decent South Americans you come across, not those owned by a third party of course!

Saw my first game in August 1952 as an 11 year old. My Dad, from Canning Town took me in the old North Bank. He as a 13 year old went he to the first Wembley Cup Final, Bolton v West Ham. The game I saw that day was against Birmingham in the 2nd Div; they were a bit of a bogey team then and we lost 1-2. The indelible memory I still have was seeing that beautiful swathe of green turf inside all the built up area. Would love to see more stuff like this as I could reminisce on so many stories over the 60 odd years I have supported the hammers. How I would have felt for your son at that Watford game. I can remember how I felt when we were at the semi-final league-cup replay in Old Trafford against Stoke, back in the sixties. Lawrie Leslie, our Scottish international 'keeper got concussed and Bobby Moore took over in goal. We eventually lost that game but boy how we went down fighting with only ten men; you would have thought it was Stoke with ten, not us, the way we bombarded them. One if the hardest things for me when I moved from Essex to Pembrokeshire in south west Wales in 1973 was not being able to go along to the matches. However, I did manage a few but the most memorable was back in 1978, I think, when Swansea hosted West Ham in the second division. My Welsh friend took his two young boys and I took my 10 year old to the match. For all of them it was their first visit to see West Ham play live. The surprise I had for them though, was that I had phoned the West Ham secretary and he arranged for us to meet the team in the old Dragon Hotel in Swansea. I met John Lyall (Manager then) in the lounge and while we waited for the team to come out from a last minute tactics discussion, I had a wonderful time reminicing with John about the games he played at left back for the Hammers; what a lovely man he was. When the team came out, the boys got the autographs from them but their most treasured moment for them was the time Trevor Brooking spent with them. He chatted to them about their desires and work at school, encouraging to work hard to achieve their aims. Both my son and my friend's youngest have been staunch fans since that day.........oh how I could recount so many more of these tales but then it would need a book to fill them! Up you Irons.
