Hey guys,
need some more information on this. Got in an argument with a RS and he won't except it.
Anybody got a detailed explanation or even a website with it on.
Thanks

Just don't let it slip you wanted Paolo Di Canio as our next boss before Martinez.

Haha had to look back at what you were talking about then, was taking the piss with that one mate. I'll be honest I didn't want Martinez at the start, but saying Di Canio I was taking the piss.

"the 14 to west ham was a liverpool game in the 70's when only 14 fans turned up for the 2 'ordinary' trains to take the liverpool hordes to upton park. the [Poor language removed] turn out was because the liverpool fans were afraid of west hams reputation.. in them days the ordinary train was the transport of choice for football fans all over england. there was under 100 reds in the away support that day."

It was 1976. They got beat 5-1 by Aston Villa the week before. The West Ham Special was cancelled as only 14 booked on it. The Echo reported it to the great delight of us blues. Remember it like it was yesterday and I've never let any one of the blerts forget it!
