That's insane...

I think Birmingham are dead because Spurs are still playing for a Europa Spot.
ManU are going to play kids but who knows, those kids want to prove something.
Stoke don't have much to play for.

Wolves-Blackburn will be crazy.

West Ham have some really good plans for providing affordable football to young fans at the new stadium and have already been active with deals such as kid for a quid for certain games. We need more, not less of that.

West Ham will go back up.

The only thing that upsets me about West Ham moving to the Olympic Stadium is that I never got to see a Premiership match at Upton Park. Biases aside, fair play to them that they get to play in their Borough in the future and they are contributing to their local community.

I dont understand why anyone would do that. Is it really that satisfying to belittle Avram Grant? The guy is not a good manager by all appearances, this has become obvious. I know a few West Ham fans were really upset abnout his appointment but that has more to do with West Ham's ownership's failure to their due diligence.

But really? Using his failure to keep the team up to needle at West Ham fans? Its Millwall I guess, they've never been accused of being a classy group of supporters, although I suppose one can admire their dedication.

I don't think it's meant that much to belittle Avram, more so to belittle West Ham

LOL you can't make this up

West Ham season ending Gala turned in to a massive brawl, with several players involved, when Demba Ba refused to sign an autograph and a fan took a swing at him

the police were called in

Quote:
West Ham United's end of season Gala ended in chaos as Police were called after a fight erupted.

The disturbance was said to have started after one first team member - believed to be Senegalese striker Demba Ba - refused to sign an autograph, claiming he was 'too tired'.

Police were called to deal with the ensuing outbreak of violence which saw, according to reports, tables and chairs being used as weapons in a scene more suited to an old-school Western movie than an end-of-season dinner.

Fans had paid up to £250 each to attend the evening - ironically described by the club in promotional material as 'a simply unmissable evening' - which was hosted by TV personality Ben Shepherd.

And as security staff tried to defuse the situation punches and plates were thrown and tables turned over, while it was claimed that one fan high-kicked a glass vase from a table and several players were involved in the row.
Celebrity supporter Ben Shephard, the host for the evening, made desperate appeals for calm.
A group of men were later seen running from the main entrance of the hotel, chased by security staff, before two police cars turned up and officers entered the hotel to investigate.
West Ham’s players had been instructed to attend the event and warned by letter they would face a fine of a week’s wages if they failed to comply.
LOL

I pray there is video

United supporters finally get to troll Liverpool supporters in response to the famous troll done towards them.





For those other than Jagger, that is the Anfield Road end. Hung during YNWA before Tottenham match.

feels dirty but I want Arsenal to win on the weekend, City need to finish 4th because they won't be seeded in the CL play in and could get Bayern Munich, or even a Russian or Dutch team who could give them trouble
