West Ham Staff and Supporters message

To our new owners
Focus on the task at hand and the next 7 games. Hold those thoughts of the Olympic Stadium, hold back on laying off staff and threats of wage cuts.
Hold back on letting the world and his dog know of the state the club is in because lest we forget, “negativity breeds negativity”

To the manager
You have a talented squad from which to choose your XI players. Just keep it simple, play players in their favoured positions and let them show us why they should be pulling on the Claret and Blue of West Ham United.

To our players
Play like your livelihoods depended on winning every game until the end of the season because quite frankly, with SuGo in charge, THEY DO

To our captain
Play and SOUND like one. It seems clear to the supporters that you have not one, but both eyes on bigger goals. But unless you concentrate on the task at hand, like the rest of us over the summer you’ll have both eyes on the telly

To young master Tomkins
Get back on the pitch and put the Wolves game behind you. Show again what a talented and promising footballer you are.

To the ball boys on Saturday
Take along a large tub of vaseline and apply liberally each time you pass the ball, politely, to Mr Delap (he’s the one with satellite dishes in place of ears)

To the supporters
If the players had any doubts about the passion us supporters have for our club, they know now! We’ve said our piece, the players and owners have said theirs. Tuesday is now history.
Supporters; we know our job and no offence SuGo but we don’t need paper clappers or kids for a quid to play our part. If we do go a goal down, don’t get on the players’ backs, just crank up the volume ala Villa Park 1991 (younger supporters ask your Dad’s!)

See you all Saturday and COME ON YOU IRONS!!

Again, I need to be quick – I’ll compile everything into one post when I get a chance later today. But to keep you busy, here’s a couple of videos from David Gold after last night’s shamble and one also with Upson. A lot of interesting stuff was said.

You can hear my exclusive interview with David Gold (and a few thoughts from Sullivan) here

(Apologies if these videos are yet to load, we just have to wait for YouTube! I’ve tried to get them up as quick as possible)

Football blogger meetups in London, Birmingham and Manchester

Sam H — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:36:29 +0000

The football blog network that I work for, FootballUnited.com, are sponsoring a series of football blogger meetups across the country in February. We’re hosting three of them; one in Birmingham, one in Manchester and one in London and all football bloggers are welcome to join us for these events.

When I say sponsoring, we’re basically picking up the bar tab – each of the meetups coincides with a decent game of football, so it will be an afternoon/evening of football, beer and general banter.

There are more details on this post here: Football Blogger Meetups

Bloggers of Birmingham City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Brom, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Manchester City, Walsall, Stockport (etc etc) we’ll be in your neck of the woods first so have yourself a butchers are the details page linked above and get yourself over for some beer.

I’ll be at all the events – and most certainly the ones in New York, Washington DC and Madrid – so if you’re based anywhere near any of those then it would be great to catch up for a pint.
