Thanks for not publishing the whole table Iain. I gave up after week 2.
Well done Andrew Jones!
The prize for coming top of the league is a place on the short list to become new West Ham manager!
The 2 Daves have increased their Hammers share to 60 %,please increase the class of players while your at it!
"The £4m that goes to West Ham will bridge the gap in the club's finances"
And………………cue Celtic! lol
Just heard Karren Brady on the radio. She was doing quite well until the subject of GZ's sacking came up. Then she sounded very uncomfortable and evasive.
WTF has this really got to do with West Ham?
Nothing, but everything to do with this blog
Thoroughly enjoyed taking part again, Iain even if I did finish in the mid 300s! I'd be interested to know which regular posters (Zasto – oo ar ya?) had a team and who the highest ranked person was.
I started The Sun Dream Team in the top 10 for teh first 2/3 weeks, thoughyt GREAT, I can win this! I finished about 3000th! lol
Definitely wasn't me HM.
HM I finished 279th
My season was a bit like West Ham's: Lot's of injuries and a poor manager but rallied at the end to avoid the bottom and finished at 293rd. Looking for a better season from me and that fact that I sacked myself at the end of the season for gross misconduct will have no bearing on my teams performance next season. I am also linking myself with some high profile players to enhance my squad. Although the recent reports suggesting I was going to sign the whole of the Spector family are untrue
Post of the day, Kildaire – lmao!
Why thank you Headmaster.
Guys, I might be a little slow today and I might still be hungover from last night but can someone please explain the post on the Official Site regarding some BASKETBALL player we might be signing???

Have I misread it? It's not April 1st is it?

Has anyone seen it?
"West Ham United has emerged as a shock possible future destination for NBA basketball superstar LeBron James.
The Cleveland Cavaliers forward could become a free agent this summer, sparking a worldwide scramble for his services ahead of the new season.
The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Chicago Bulls, New Jersey Nets and Miami Heat are all rumoured to be interested in the 25-year-old, but Washington Post reporter Norman Chad has suggested that the Hammers could also be in the running.
"This would be the gutsy move for LeBron – head to England and the Premier League for a team that has never won a Premier League title," wrote Chad in his 'Couch Slouch' column.
"The team is without a manager, so LeBron could bring in his own guy. Granted, he's never played soccer, but, then again, David Beckham's a big deal and I don't think he ever plays soccer, either."
Akron, Ohio-born James, who has spent his entire professional career with the Cavaliers, is likely to command wages in the region of £200,000-a-week.
In the 2009/10 season, the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player earned a salary of $14.41m – or £9.949m by today's exchange rate.
Having played alongside Shaquille O'Neal at Cleveland this season, James has proved he can partner a bigger forward able to hold the ball up when surrounded by defenders. He is also well-known for his deadly long-range shooting and his willingness to take control of the game when his side is under pressure.
However, it remains to be seen whether the club would be interested in a player as yet unproven in the Barclays Premier League.
Any move to West Ham is likely to leave US President Barack Obama with mixed feelings, seeing as the former Illinois Senator is rumoured to support both the Bulls and the Hammers."
WTF???????????
Oh my God, I had to go to the site and check it out for myself. People, Matt is NOT winding us up. For once, I am utterly speechless.
David Beckham………"Idon't think he ever plays soccer, either" !!!!!!!!!!!!
Brady's at the meths again.
Jesus.
Thanks headmaster, I REALLY wasn't on a wind-up! I just couldn't believe it when I saw it!
Am I reading it right? Are we SERIOUSLY thinking about bidding for a BASKETBALL player who has NEVER played football?
In addition are we seriously considering his £200,000 a week wages?
I am soooooooo speechelss at this article! Please tell me the site was hacked!
I think it started as a joke article in the washington post but someone on the offical site thought it was funny
The trouble is Bobby that with the number of so called potential targets we are linked with, usually instigated by Sullivan's self publicising folly, this particular 'joke' is the latest in a long, long line. That said, let's hope you're right. It ain't April the 1st though and this is, after all, West Ham. These jokers would link us with my mother if they thought there was a story in it!
Is she any good at left back?
lol
what is going on between the official site and j. spector? looks like he's been getting a lot of publicity in recent weeks. since the league ended there were around 2-3 articles a week about him!!!……IMO someone is giving him hand to get a contract extension!
Either that or West Ham are trying to drum up publicity for the boy to make it easier to sell him! Or at least that's what I hope!
I cannot tell you how wrong I hope you are, Veldom.
How would the Daves square that with listening to the supporters? Show me a supporter who thinks we should extend Spectator's contract and I'll show you a) a member of the Spector family or b) someone who needs help
Does Barry make it to the world cup?
Parker should play anyway and Lennon is better than Walcott.
Milners gone backwards,Johnson is far better,reminds me of a young Waddle.
No make that Devonshire(almost)
I came 270th which I thought was quite respectable!!
Leading contribution so far, NC. Respectable indeed.
I got 104th, very happy with that result. Makes me the 2573rd best west ham fan!
Bobby – you the man, so far!
log on to london2012.co, and you'll see the view our supporters will have if the track remains in place!
Thanks for that , when you see it ,how can we not go for it ,You could spend a billion on Upton Park,and it would never look as impressive as this is going to be.
i agree that it looks impressive but those at the back would need a pair of binochulars to watch the game properly!

On the plus side, it doesn't look like we would have the problems that Wembley have in maintaining a pitch. The stadium design looks to maximise light and airflow around the pitch which is probably where Wembley got it wrong and the Emirates got it so right.
But apart from that, and that it is a very impressive building, I just can't see what use it would be to any football team. It's just too round, and I think it was deliberately designed this way to ensure that no Premiership football club would take it on – thereby preserving the athletics legacy. (Look at the City of Manchester stadium, it's oval, but not so wide as this one I'm sure).
Time to move on from this I think, and maybe start to consider other brownfield sites around the eastern stretch of the North Circular or to consider the upgrading of the Boleyn if we really need more capacity.
Brown field sites, eh? Connotations of either Terence Brown, or stuff that emanates from the bottom
The seats are the wrong colour, they would have to go. Then you would need some big monitors to see what was actually happening on the pitch. It would be like watching ants play!
It's not the Olympic Stadium, it's New Upton Park – every time i go past on the train on my way into Liverpool St i make a point of saying hello to the ground. I know the views won't be great but if we aspire to be a truly great team – this is where we HAVE to be.
Bring on West Ham Olympic!
My seat is right behind penalty spot in BML. As Olympic stadium is oval that means seats in middle are furthest away from pitch. I am not relishing watching a subbuteo match! Personally I think SuGo are wrong to sell our biggest asset and move to rented stadium. I'd prefer to redevelop the East Stand
yeah mate i was messing around.
I'm mixed about moving. I'd like to move there but as you say the distance from the pitch is a joke.
Chairmen increase stake in club ……………lets wait for celtic's mystic meg figures to come on here, should be a laugh !. suprised he didnt already know they were moving in for more shares MR WALL STREET HIMSELF !
EEEEEEZ only a poor little gasfitter!
Typical from a bloke who introduced himself to me by the way of abuse and cant stand it when it is given back and boasts about real support and the money ,have a good look at what you write on here,hey he who is a hardcore chick magnet and uses expletives to fill in the gaps,by the way does your mum talk about me thesedays?
Can't get to my final place (blocked at work) but I'll post it later, though probably not worth waiting for, I should have sold Cole sooner lol
Mate, you should never have bought Cole! lol
Blimey, the thumbs up/down icons have made a comeback…….
thought I'd give you a thumbs up just for spotting it!
aaaww shucks – someone must have cancelled it!
I think it proves what I have long thought – they don't work properly!Nobody ever gets more than 2
Heresy, Peter. No, I've defo seen more thana +2. Moreover, I'm not at all sure what impact they are supposed to have, if any, on the p scores?
Interesting development though. No explanation from the man himself that I've spotted. It was Matt who put in a plea for their original removal I recall. Maybe Iain just wants to test the water for a while?
Just put you back to 2 so see how long that lasts!
you are on 3 now!!
I don't think he is!
Be interesting to see how long it takes before the Celtic haters are back to taunt him with his 'downward thumbs' lol
It was nice and quiet for a while, but alas I fear it has come to an end!
Stick with it, Matt. It's been good since you returned too. Don't let the thumbs put you down,son!
Oh mate, I really couldn't give a monkey's scrotum if they thumb me down!
The only reason I asked for them to be removed was because it was attracting all the idiots that thought it was 'fun' to cluick the thumbs down button and I just thought that if they had nothing to come here for, then they wouldn't bother! And I have to say, it was a nicer place without the ability to thumb up/down 
me too!
I shouldn't really admit to this; 827th! That will teach me to put too many West Ham players in!
mate, that gets a thumbs up for sheer honesty!
James;, Young, Ben Haim, Da Costa, Belhadj; Yossi, Super Scott, KPB, O'Hara; Fletcher, Tardelli
Well according to latest rumours thats how team could look! seems ok to me!
so basically g and s bout 10 % for 4 million with the other 4 MILL GOING TO THE club to bridge the gap between finiance anyone care to explain what this means cos im confused does it go off debt or is it for transfers im just not sure
also it seems like a very good deal on our part but i have my suspicions with G&S because that would effectivly get them the rest of the club 16mill and then 16mill invested to bridge the gap. Where is celtic when ya need him aye anyone else care to way in and explain please
Oh NO! Why are the Thumbs up/down back??? This will just entice the idiots back if they know they can get to Celtic with their idiot antics!
chrischris took quite a hammering too. Never let it get to him tho mate
