I think I left 1984 at age 17 (Simon was in my year) so you might have been the year above??? Were you at Enfield Chase school?I left in 84, so would have been between 79-83.

No mate.Went to school in Hoddesdon,we played a few schools from the borough of Enfield.I think I left 1984 at age 17 (Simon was in my year) so you might have been the year above??? Were you at Enfield Chase school?
I remember the changing rooms afterwardsEast marsh the changing rooms where called the cowsheds..simply because they where ?..mabley green by lesneys had proper changing rooms.
sunday mornings when every pitch was in use was a sight to behold ..think altogether something like 115 pitches.
Unless the other team was playing us, then they had an excuseWas it easy to find the pitch you were meant to be playing on?
I hope and pray you are correct.Trust Moyes.
He will take them down.
And if the boot was on the other foot.If West Ham do go down this year (which I really, really hope they do...), they are likely to struggle to come back. I think two factors might be fatal for the club:
1. Players leaving to play at a higher level (like Bowen).
2. Relegation linked pay cuts in their contracts and want to leave for more cash.
Those two factors could become a cycle, feeding off each other and getting worse. The playing squad could be decimated. Given their financial situation and the parachute payments they will get, I think they have 2 years to come back up or potentially face going down again as FFP will force their spending to be low.
I used to laugh at them, I actually feel a bit sorry for them now. They have no home, a team with too many mercenaries and a board who, aside from being utter dildoes are crooked and lie to the fans. As much as love to see them lose, they could literally go into free fall like Man City did at the end of the 1990’s.

They would probably have that boot on our metaphorical neck and be laughing.And if the boot was on the other foot.
Fair enough, I am just very glad we have a chairman and owner who are good stewards of the club and have built us up solidly. Imagine how empty and quiet their soulless bowl will be when they are in League 1 playing Lincoln or some other shit sideI literally couldn't give a flying fuck what happens to them. Don't feel sorry for them, not worried about the things that can occur to them in the future in the slightest.
They tried to get to a different level by cutting corners, tried to get to our level not by raising themselves up properly but by dragging us down to theirs as a fanbase, have constantly had issues with us and I feel no sympathy towards them at all. I'm a Spurs fan, that's the only club I ever worry about, teams like West Ham really are the last of my worries. If they go down they go down, no skin off my nose pal. No sorrow felt over here it is what it is.
