West Ham COYI - Best Team In Da World Thread

[mmmmsnouts]

I read the other day there are 3 teams who have played one season in the top flight, its a good quiz question without giong straight to Google

I know Blackpool is one... Swindon maybe? Or Sheffield United? Huddersfield and Cardiff used to be on the list but they’re both on their 2nd year now.

Pellegrini would appear to have followed the Koeman and Walsh model.

Imagine the meltdown if they brought Allardyce back to bail them out

He won't go near them after last time, even he isn't that thick to think he'd be on anything other than a hiding to nothing if he went back. They should have gone for Dyche, he's the type of manager who'd improve them year on year but I doubt he'd be popular appointment.

West Ham really need to have a long think about what they are and what they can realistically expect. For years they've believed they're top 6 club that just needs a leg up when they've never been a top 6 club ever in their history. I don't knock them or any club for having ambition and wanting to break through a glass ceiling but you have to be realistic in your planning, they've spent the last 3 summers signing players who are good for selling shirts and nothing else instead of properly building.

For some reason they have convinced themselves that they're our rivals.

They've won only the FA Cup (maybe a ECWC once) and their highest league finish was third that one time, and it was a year we won the title I think.

Numpties.

Allardyce will go anywhere......even back to West Ham, If he's offered enough money!
You think he cares about fans venting at him. He'll go in there, get them safe from relegation and consider it a job well done. Footie will be s**te but he won't care and neither will their board. The fans are an after thought.

Anyway, none of this will matter if they get a couple of goals from set pieces while we're "in the zone" and scrape a win against us. Pellegrini will be back on track and the first four games will be forgotten.

As for a rivalry, i've been with Everton all my life, went home and away for years and the supposed rivalry doesn't exist, except perhaps in the '70's & '80's with the footie violence, but then everybody was a rival. We go to your place and we get a kicking, you come to our place and you get a kicking. Except for Leicester, Ipswich, Coventry & Bolton. We come to your place and you get a kicking!

Dart has more points.

It was 85/86 season we came 2nd, remember it well, think the last Saturday we needed the shoite to lose and us to win , but they won the league, then we pipped the spammers into 2nd place midweek. Best season they ever had, (apart from that time they won the world cup .. ..... Yawn)

Could be wrong here but as much as I love these rapscallions and hate the tax Dodging spammers with the evil zelda-esk Brady, weren't these Leicester city fans?
