It's a funny old life, I felt dejected upon relegation and whilst I am not mistaking the task ahead next season I probably feel as positive about the club as I have in a long while.
On the player front if we got to keep Bowen but had to sell the other two big guns I could live with that. I personally would give Coufal a knock and ask if he would like to return. -

DS still owns 38% but has no say in the running of the Club as Kretinsky and Gold have agreed to vote together on all important aspects of club business. His holding is likely to be diluted when DK invests £90m into the club, which clears the financial clouds over us.
So DS has a shareholding but no power over West Ham, which makes him irrelevant. -

Paqueta still giving the ball away I see. -

For Sullivan, his ideal will be to take a step aside this year whilst he is under the spotlight, retain his shares, then sell should we get promoted back to the PL.
Lukerz, he’s gone and won’t be back.
He’s not (permanently) going anywhere for at least another year. -
World Cup
I 'm hoping for an early USA departure and Canada to win the thing.
You might be disappointed claret, USA looked pretty impressive against Paraguay. Most of their players play in top European teams and Poch (remember him) is the coach so I think they may surprise a lot of people.
Between Trump and the messing with the format I have so little interest.
Damn!

Match 1:
And three iffy Red Cards in my opinion,
I hope that this has not set the tone for the rest of the tournament. -
Not Sure What Thread/Where to put it (from Feb 2026)
In my view any politician that can maintain the standards of living as they currently are in the UK will be doing a decent job as we are a nation in decline now with no clear path upwards again. We have huge debt, no longer lead the field on anything and are encouraged to destroy ourselves from within by outside people like Musk etc, as social media makes governance virtually impossible. A slow road down through division and social collapse may beckon. Many feel this is inevitable and we are only now fighting to retain the institutions we have which provide many of the services we take for granted now for as long as possible until they collapse.
It's a similar shift originating from the technological revolution which we are currently in as happened during the industrial revolution. Something new will emerge but it could look very Brave new world and dystopian. -

I'd better duck after posting this,
But when I see those people, some with babes in arms, wading out waist high to try to get on an already crammed dingy to take a twenty mile trip across the channel to what they hope is a better life,
I thank my lucky stars that for all the ups and downs of navigating our way through life so far, none of my family or I were ever in such an awful situation position as to even have to contemplate such a dangerous endeavor.
Yes, some are on the make,
Some are obviously chancing their arm,
Some are probably undesirable,
But some are undoubtedly totally desperate.
Identifying to which group each one belongs and acting accordingly is the test for the current system.
Now Crusty, get behind the sofa.
I agree that it's better than the Tories,ASLEF, Liz Truss wasn't in office long enough to do too much damage unlike SKS.
Liz Truss managed to do horrendous damage to the economy in the short time she was in office
Still hasn't managed to get the boats to do u turns in the channel has he, now that's a political grenade for me to be castigated over!
There weren't any boats before Brexit and we could send illegal immigrants back to France so it's yet another problem created by the Tories that Starmer has inherited
I didn't like Starmer before he was elected Labour leader, I liked him even less after he was elected Labour leader and u-turned on every pledge he'd made before he was elected leader and I certainly don't like him now he's Prime Minister
But its still better than the Tories
But I do wonder what they were doing during the fourteen years of Tory rule that they keep referring to,
Current events would point to them being down the Dog And Duck playing darts for most of the time.
