@Gravesie82 @pathfinderonx @henrywinter In his last season with us we won 2 out of the last 19 games, relegation form.

@WayneSully62 @pathfinderonx @henrywinter A dinosaur who's kept them well away from relegation for the first time in 5 seasons. Which was kind of my point.

Karren Brady’s promise of “a world-class team in a world-class stadium” rings even more hollow now. West Ham United should never have moved to a soulless public athletics track. Great move for the board but not for the fans. Leaving Upton Park made sense for commercial reasons but not sporting/atmosphere. Daniel Levy was right. The Olympic Stadium should have been knocked down and a proper football stadium built there. It is a good site. But the Olympic lobby and politicians got all protective and precious about the 2012 legacy. How often does this country need a huge athletics arena anyway? Yes, West Ham won a European trophy since they’ve left Upton Park. But London Stadium was always a problem, always a passion-killer, fans distant from the ones they love, the players, and limited potential for increased revenue streams. Other reasons behind club’s demise. Lack of leadership in the boardroom. Recruitment an issue, too. What a mess. Record losses, fears over future of Fernandes, Summerville and Nuno, intensified protests against chairman Sullivan.   Relegation likely. Two points adrift of safety following 3-1 defeat to Newcastle. Wretched goal difference (-22) compared to Spurs’ (-9). Spurs need only a point from Chelsea away (hard) or David Moyes’ Everton at home to guarantee survival and condemn West Ham. Can Moyes do West Ham a favour? The club who let him go. West Ham need to beat ex-Spur Joe Rodon and Leeds at home anyway. West Ham look doomed to the drop. They will return but need better ownership. And many of their fans have been warning of this perfect storm for some time. #WHUFC

@SportWizz @henrywinter They were certainly not ‘consolidated at the top end of the league’, his last season we won 2 from the last 19 games, relegation form.

@henrywinter David Moyes won WHU its first trophy in 40 odd years. Consolidated them at the top end of the premier league. Their fans wanted a manager to play football the WHU way. Now they are a championship team - can’t keep blaming the stadium. Introspection needed….

@pathfinderonx @Gravesie82 @henrywinter Ask Everton fans if they want to keep Moyes, he’s a dinosaur.

@Gravesie82 @henrywinter Maybe they would have been better keeping David Moyes...

@jamthrawn A real thrill to meet you last night. Sorry for bombarding you with my stories — I was a few ciders in and couldn’t resist sharing my Rush/taxi journey tales! Hope I didn’t make too much of a fool of myself. Great night as always, and hopefully see you in LDN soon.

@EdwynCollins saw your name up in chalk last night at the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen whilst attending a gig by the wonderful @jamthrawn wonder if you remember playing this lovely little venue?

@henrywinter Imagine Billy Bremner, Julian Dicks or Roy Keane screaming like a baby when they got fouled….

.... diving, feigning injury, appealing for corners or throw-ins that aren’t yours, is all cheating. Even time-wasting is a form of cheating. So much is good about football - competition, community, characters - but the cheating needs tackling. Column 2/2 open.substack.com/pub/henrywinte…

The outrage about Spygate is understandable. If proven, it’s cheating. It’s seeking to gain a sporting advantage over an opponent. Let’s hope this ire is also now focused on other varieties of cheating in football, namely the amount of deceit that can stain games... 1/2

@paulwellerHQ @MilesKaneMusic @Arkaylaband What terrible locations, what happened to a good old Hammersmith Apollo gig, great sound and guaranteed to be dry!

Just under a month to go… Paul’s UK & Ireland summer tour begins 12 June 2026. With special guests across selected dates including @MilesKaneMusic, Amelia Coburn, @Arkaylaband, Fiona Lee, Esmeralda Road, and The Marra. Remaining tickets available: linktr.ee/PaulWellerHQ 🎟️

@patcondell Tell me, so what would be ‘good’ for the country?

A Labour leadership contest would be bad for the country, since every potential candidate would be bad for the country. There is no upside. For those not involved, it will be like watching flies fighting over a turd.

@Peston Oh fuck right off Peston, you and the other lickspittle journos DEMANDED he got rid of her!

There is a question here for the prime minister, which is whether he over-reacted in accepting her resignation

Absolutely glorious watching Kemi skewer the entire front bench

There is something wrong when the whole country wants the Prime Minister to go but he can just say no.

I’m not sure that publicly humiliating a senior cabinet minister and possible leadership rival is a good tactic by Starmer.

@TalkTV @DPJHodges @jkyleofficial

🚨'Starmer went NUCLEAR on Shabana Mahmood.' Dan Hodges says Sir Keir Starmer has locked himself in his private study and is refusing to meet MPs and ministers that want him gone. 'This is the level of dysfunction we're at.' @DPJHodges | @jkyleofficial

So ‘squatting Starmer’ is pushing through Digital ID in the King’s Speech. Yet another horrific policy that was NOT in Labour’s manifesto. He has no mandate for this. Reform will SCRAP Digital ID.

@Footballfights Great decision, took real guts to issue that card, well done ref.

This is still one of the worst football decisions of all time...

@BetMGMUK Maguire? Nope.

What stops this England team winning the World Cup? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@RicHolden @UKLabour @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives Says a man parachuted into a ‘safe seat’ and almost lost it, you was a crap minister and you’re a terrible MP.

If @UKLabour is in so much turmoil that The King’s Speech cannot be agreed within this Government @KemiBadenoch & the @Conservatives team have, fortunately, already a worked through and costed alternative ready to go… conservatives.com/alternative-ki…

@TimesRadio @StigAbell @darrenpjones @KateEMcCann Next Labour leader, right there.

Darren Jones, the chief secretary to the prime minister, indicates that Sir Keir Starmer may be about to announce a timetable for his resignation. @DarrenPJones | @StigAbell | @KateEMcCann

@talkSPORT The Moyes thing winds me up, his last 10 or so games we were getting battered 4,5,6-0 by everyone, we only survived relegation because the three teams below us were shite.

⬇️ "I've always maintained the view that West Ham will get relegated!" 🤦‍♂️ "The worst decisions they made was [appointing] Pellegrini... Moyes should still be at West Ham!" Simon Jordan explains why #WHUFC have found themselves on the brink of relegation! ⚒️

@GordonFielden @IainDale Thing is, the way our luck is going, Rays would have saved the penalty anyway if it had been given. 🤷🏻‍♂️

For once we can agree on something. Truly shocking decisions all round. Having now watched the incident repeatedly from multiple angles, I have come to the view that the goal itself probably should have been disallowed. However, West Ham should still have been awarded a penalty for the clear and blatant fouls by Arsenal players in the passage of play before the corner even reached the goalkeeper. The game should have been stopped at the first foul. On this occasion there were multiple incidents involving West Ham players, all appearing clear and obvious, yet VAR either failed to review them properly or chose to ignore them altogether. If the officials do not believe those are fouls, then supporters deserve a proper explanation as to why. This is now critical for the future credibility of VAR in football. A major decision was reached incorrectly because the earlier fouls were ignored. West Ham penalty all day long.

I struggle to articulate my emotions at this moment. With that one decision, VAR has awarded the title to Arsenal, and probably relegated West Ham. This is not football.
