It was 27 years ago today that John Moncur got sent off in the last minute at White Hart Lane, for his second yellow, as West Ham won 2-1 v Spurs. Moncs said 'I will never forget the West Ham fans chanting my name as I gave them a clenched fist salute on my way down the tunnel ⚒️
I don’t follow Arsenal, but many of my family did.
I always considered them a classy club.
However, Arteta, the fan TV nonsense and the awful song they’ve introduced have all been a step backwards. The club would be better off without all of it.
Looking at how poor Patrick Reed has played over the weekend compared to the field, I wonder if conditioning has played its part. Not an ideal frame to be lugging about in the heat.
@Vintage77Ball I’d go with different full backs such as Krol on the left and Stam on the right. Rijkaard alongside Van Dijk - he played CB at Euro 88.
Koeman an excellent player, but would be a disaster at full back.
Hard to argue with the others, Robben perhaps the most vulnerable.
@footballontnt Not really a wrong answer here, all three have been or are elite.
I’ll go with Neuer. Has the keeping skills, but better than the other two with the ball at his feet.
@VinnieSull1van@Britains___Pubs Try Amarone and see what you think.
Most supermarkets do one these days for around £20.
I’m a big fan. If you enjoy it you can give me a shout and I’ll give you a few more to try.
I'm going to make the switch to wine for health reasons soon. I'll still have the odd pint now and then, obviously. From my understanding, I'm better off with red? What's a good one to start on that isn't going to put me off it altogether? 🍷
I have a suspicion that if West Ham beat Leeds today, they won’t win the league game at the end of the season - might be over by then anyway.
Nuno obviously has similar thoughts and has picked a team to get beat.
The Richard Keys interview in the Telegraph is hilarious. Literally starts out with "well, I'll be dead soon I imagine. I'm an old man" and ends with "I want to be a father again." Complete nutcase.
Good morning everyone, and happy Friday ❤️
I really enjoyed doing Question Time last night, what an experience. I can see it’s rattled a few of the usual angry lot on here as well… 🤣🤣
What I’ve noticed is the insults ain’t about what I said. It’s the same old stuff. My criminal record, where I went to school… even me Wikipedia page getting changed again. I wish I had a multi millionaire family FYI, then I wouldn’t be working 6 days a week 🤣🤣 Funny how they never add all the good I do in the news and Wikipedia etc.
It does make you think, do these people see me as threat to constantly attack me?
I’ve made mistakes in my life. I ain’t perfect, never have been. But I’ve owned it, I’ve learned, and I’ve worked every single day to become a better man.
And that’s what life is about.
I’ve worked hard for everything I’ve got. Nothing has been handed to me. I’m up early pushing every day and I’m looking forward to a pint in the pub once I finish today.
But what matters to me the most ain’t the lies online spread about me, it’s real life.
I’ve got 14 unbelievable, loyal, hardworking staff, some who’ve been with me since I was 18 years old. This lot have believed in me, and I’ll always back them.
I’ve got a loving, happy home.
I’ve got a beautiful, kind, caring wife who is the most amazing mum to our children and watching her now she’s 7 months pregnant with our fourth, makes me proud every single day.
And my kids… they’re my world. They’re the reason I keep going, no matter what.
Because I know what it feels like to have nothing.
I’ve been at rock bottom. Sleeping on a pull-out bed on the floor in my mum’s house. No money. No work. Because of my criminal records. I felt lost and like giving up.
But I never did.
I got my head down. I believed in myself and I built something out of nothing.
That’s why I try to spread positivity. That’s why I visit schools, speak to young people, do the Sunday walks, because I want people to know that your past does not define your future.
So when the negativity comes online with all the lies and constant digs….. it don’t break me.
Because I know who I am.
I’m someone who believes in hard work.
I’m someone who believes in family.
I’m someone who believes in owning your mistakes and becoming better.
And I’m someone who believes in this country and its people.
We’ve got the greatest country in the world.
And I’ll keep going for my family, for my team, and for every single person out there trying to do the right thing.
We don’t go home until we’re proud.
Have a fantastic Friday. Let’s go and smash it.
I love you all ❤️
Bosh❤️
@Adidas Have attempted to purchase the Spain away shirt with A. INIESTA 6 on the back, but it says the characters are out of stock. Is this likely to be resolved soon?
