Then Zola to be given a half decent transfer fund. Im fed up with doing everything on a lower budget then everyone else. Forget United, Liverpool, Chelsea or City I would be happy to compete with the finances of Spurs and Villa! Give Zola a chance he has made us play some attractive stuff so far, hopefully Clarke can instill a better resolve as a team to defend. I would hope if the stadium is redeveloped then the club tries to somehow do something about the dying atmosphere. I would be happy with a redeveloped East Stand and up to 50,000 at Upton Park.

I looked up at the Dr Martins stand, and it was the top corner seats that were mostly empty, ( & who wants to sit that high up unless you have to ) and also the same in the Bobby Moore stand, A far cry from when we played the Gunners 3 weeks ago at the Boleyn, it was a sell out!! the two main reasons for this are, No 1, that Portsmouth are not as attractive as a lot of other teams, West Ham haven't been playing too well, and have let a few goals in, and who wants to watch a team with ex westham players in it, beat us!!!!! especially Defoe, l don't know about any one else, but my heart was in my mouth towards the end, thinking that he was going to score in the last few minutes!! Corals predicted a 1-2 win to Portsmouth. so 0-0 was ok by me. No 2, l have been in buisness a lot of years, and it's always the same, and the middle of the month is a quiet time, but having said, l live close to Lake Side shoping centre, and yesterday, the car parks were heaving!!!! and has been for quite a few weeks, and at weeks it's a no go area for us!!!! I think that all this credit crunch is more media than anything else!! it could be coming, but it's not here yet!!!!

We won't get a better keeper than him. He may not be perfect in some departments (controlling his area, bossing the defence and giving others the benefit of what he can see) but his work ethic is strong and I'm sure he's making the effort to improve these weaknesses. It will be bad news, indeed, if we lose him. On the Rob Green Speculation, he’s has been – and is – worth at least 10 points a season. We won’t get a better keeper than him.
