I'd rather have Ollie Murs in charge than the dead hand of the man that couldn't give a toss. Maybe he needs another massage.

With a board that have made a whole heap of wrong decisions in the past 12 months and that are only intent in taking us to an athletics track to make a few bob for themselves, what good would caring do?
For anyone who thinks we will survive, think on this. Avram Gravedigger Grant has not won back to back league games since he left Chelski. That's an amazing statistic and I have no reason to think it will change in the next couple of months. The people that appointed him then tried to sack him and then backed him again are laughable.
I will continue to go, but given that the players couldn't give a fig why should we? It's easier to cope expecting nothing...

I think we are suffering from what is called 'clicktivism' - all blogging and no action.

Firstly, it comes as no surprise that the 2 porn barons are cocking things up. They arrived here seeing a cheap deal and putting all their money on a move to the Olympic Staudium. Forget the sightlines, atmosphere, tradition, UP freehold and the fans' wishes - they want to make a few quid and would burn their granny if it meant getting there.
Then we have Spu*s smelling even more money. Our local rivals seem bound to get the OS nod because their sums add up, we're going to be relegated and who in their right minds would want to work with our shabby board? This means we will be squeezed and condemned to being a second tier club forever as Spu*s take over our catchment area in the future.
I am really not sure what I want. Premiership status and having to watch home matches hundreds of feet away or relegation and permament inferiority?

I disappeared from this site for a while after postings I made about the odious Scott Duxbury were deleted simply because I took issue with a crawling 'interview' with him. I thought he should have been brought to task about some of the most disasterous decisions made at West Ham and I think Iain then took offence at my criticisms.
So, as I say, I went away but then took Celtic's advice by treating it all as a joke and have since enjoyed some banter.
This site, indeed all sites dedicated to West Ham, are not about their owners but about the bloggers. Like the country we need vigorous debate without restriction but, like this dodgy 'coalition' Govt, we get restrictions and stifled debate.
Don't leave us in the hands of supply teachers, educate us please Head...

Take the WAGs for example. What have Mrs Rooney, Mrs Gerrard, Mrs Terry, Mrs Beckham etc ever done for humanity? Oh I forgot, they design tasteless clothing or at least have someone else do it for them. Nevertheless, our papers are full of crap about their privilleged lives whilst some product placement or another pays for their Crystal champagne.
You know the libel laws Iain - either the stories in the book are true or they reflect an honestly held opinion and in either of those scenarios you'll be fine. If the stories are untrue, then you face damages or, more significantly, costs. The law's moved in your favour somewhat after Terry's failed attempt to stop the stories about him shagging Bridge's ex.
I must say I had a laugh at the name of Rooney's firm - Schillings. You should instruct Dollar and Co...

92% of those polled weren't anywhere near UP for the Wolves home game then. Even my very elderly and very respectful dad told me the entire upper East Side (where flat caps and a stoic outlook are prerequisites) were hammering the team when the 3rd goal went in.
We have nearly all changed. In the halcyon days before Terry Brown's bond scheme, everyone was staunch. I remember us going down at Anfield one hot sticky night, but nobody blamed the team or openly caned Lyall. I look back on it as one of my favourite games with us all singing We'll Meet Again and turning up in force at Stoke for another 1st Div campaign.
Then, as I say, the relationship between us as fans and them as players/owners changed. The bond scheme brought huge mistrust and there has been a disconnect ever since between the fans and players/owners as we have lurched from one inept owner to the next. They have become mercenary and we have become fickle. We and they need to go back.
So, the boo figure here looks wrong to me. Either the vast majority of posters on this site are lying, suffering from wishful thinking or are atypical fans. I still love you all though...
