Zamora has been struggling for a while with injuries and they will probably only re-occur every season. Be lucky to get 15 games out of him a season. great player but just not worth the hassle. great quote from Barton and somewhat ironic :lol: : http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/gallery/2013/apr/30...

So is the general consensus about the qpr match that both teams had decided it was all over before they had begun, hence the dire match?
It sounds like there needs to be a major team shake-up but who do you have of any value to sell?

I don't quite see why other hammers have a problem with Orient or their fans as we've never really had much to do with them with regard to fixtures. Hearn is really only contesting West Ham because he has to be seen to be doing something and it's questionable whether our move there will affect Orien...

I agree i'd probably have Adkins rather than any other manager to get you back up 1st time and get you playing some decent football, but i suppose there will be an element of what budget you can afford to keep players and get a few newbies in.

Whether or not West Ham are truly 'rivals', I always love the way their fans get so wound up when we defeat them. It only encouraged further goading and chants of "Stick your bubbles up your arse" which only seem to infuriate the Essex faithful even more. It becomes just irresistible beca...

Reading wouldn't have been anywhere near the premier League unless they had moved to the Madejski. We were literally 4 minutes away from the prem. For a man who purports to know a lot about out club I'm surprised you didn't know that. I'm talking financially and staying there, not games wise (yes i...

The problem with Upton Park is that there is no scope for development, the transport is appalling, its in the middle of a 60% asian area where there is no interest in football. Basically if we stayed at Upton park it would be exactly the same story as Elm Park (unable to develop because of the surro...

Have to say, by the look of it, Pardew at both west ham and Newcastle seems to be fine when everything is going well but doesn't seem to have any plan B when things start going wrong. So i suspect that may have also been the case had he stayed with Reading anyway. Nigel Adkins is a decent manager an...

Aaah, the old 'we're not trying to create a rivalry with you, you're trying to create a rivalry with us' line. I believe Bournemouth are currently preparing that line too. The fact that you state Reading think West Ham are our rivals shows your arrogance. Most Reading fans couldn't give one singula...

Before i get slated for trolling, gloating or anything else, i am a hammers fan who comes in peace who has actually lived in Reading for quite a few years and went to Elm Park many times around the Mark McGee, Shaka Hislop, Kevin Dillion, Michael Gilkes era and have always treated the Royals as my s...
