The whole point in having rivals is the hope that you can lord it over them. One way of doing that is to play and beat them. A better way is to be in a higher division than them.
plus the Ricoh is actually nearer to us than the Crisp Bowl, so the away game is actually more like a home game :icon_wink
4-0 win today, Beckford hat-trick. They'll make the play-offs I think but they've left it too late for automatic IMO. After todays results Peterboro' are well in with a shout of automatic...
Are you realist in disguise?
Now old Master Bates is after some compo from the Tevez affair.

It beggars belief - typical of Leeds though. When is this saga going to end? If I was a hammers fan I'd be well fed up, the punishment has in no way fit the crime here. To use an Alan Pardewism, West Ham are getting raped from all angles over this nonsense.
I won't use a Pardewism but I will say that whatever West Ham are getting, they fully deserve it. Not only did they have the player on an illegal contract, they lied about it and concealed the facts - and didn't regularise the situation even when they undertook to do so.
West Ham gained massively from their deceit and a large number of people suffered loss as a result of it. It's right that they should look to West Ham for recompense. People should not let their hate of teams like Leeds and people like Colin Wanker to cloud their judgement on this issue.
In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense(sic) of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them – usually, to obtain property or services unjustly. Fraud can be accomplished through the aid of forged objects.
Quite. :icon_wink
Doesn't this describe the situation and I wonder why nothing has been done about it?
I think I'll sue over the Tevez affair.
I am sure I lost a bet on a West Ham result somewhere, and the hardship that has caused me ever since has to be paid for. £2m should do it.... just.
You make a good argument
