We could be playing in Europe if we'd helped more opponents stand up...

[FryattFox]

Or:

• bringing the ball quickly back into play, even when in a winning position
• helping an opponent to stand up
• congratulating opponents
• respecting distances imposed for free-kicks
• respecting countdown to kick-off
• having no more than one team official standing in the technical area during the match

We're top of the latest fair play league for red/yellow cards, but losing because we're not as strong on positive play, respect for the opposition, respect for the referee or behaviour of the crowd and of the team officials, which all include the really important items above. The PL has an extra place this year, which I believe West Ham are currently on course for.

I understand the idea, but it seems like a completely arbitrary list to me.

Or if we'd sacked Peashit, and employed Tony Poolis instead, obviously

Did that even need stating it's so obvious?!

But Europe needs our clappers!

You wants us to get into Europe but you don't appreciate the importance of The Final Countdown?

What a crock of shit, utterly ludicrous shite.

Any team of a similar stature to us that doesn't want European football can get the **** out of the league, delusions of grandeur from teams like Southampton.

I want to give young boys a bloody good seeing to in their own backyard
