    Let's also never forget the way in which they took Defoe from us. You can say that was Redknapp, but it needed to be sanctioned at the highest level. Never heard any of their fans correcting media claiming he was a product of their academy, let alone the disgraceful behaviour that led to Varney going to court to drag a million out of them.

    From 1932 to 1958 WHU were in Div 2. Those were mostly great years for CAFC. Remember the story of Bobby Moore as a teenager biking from Barking over the Ferry to study our players ?

    I wasn't aware that PV did this.

    I thought the 'allegations' went along the lines that they bought his mum a house.

    Yes, I forget what kind of court it was, but the case was that West Ham had broken clear rules on tapping up under-age players. Regarding the allegation, you may think that, but I cannot possibly comment:-) However there was a wonderful C4 drama about a football manager, played by Ray Winstone, and the first scenes depict exactly that. C4 of course never openly suggested that Winstone's character was based on Redknapp...But they chose Winstone and not Gregory Fitoussi, so it certainly wasn't based on Wenger :-)

    Mind you, speaking of Varney and West Ham, I have never met PV in person, but have always thought, and still do, that he was and remains easily the best CEO Charlton could ever have. So I was gobsmacked to read the first of the new "Voice" presenting a signature interview with him, wherein he declared that the Gullivans were his 'good friends' and he had tried to persuade them to buy us. I can't imagine that the Gullivans would have tried to move us to the OS, but I can only think their only reason for considering it was the possibility of moving us to the Peninsula.

    That's definitely a reason to hate West Ham.

    Philippe Duclos not Fitoussi perhaps (he says, in the contender for most pretentious post of the day).

    Meanwhile, easy to forget how many reasons there are to dislike West Ham, how did I forget the Tevez shennanigans? I suspect they will never be a neutral's favourite again with the whole stadium disgrace

    Charlton were 2nd choice, by a very long way and only if they couldn't have got WHam. There was certainly admiration for the way they ran their clubs. We may not like the Taxpayer Stadium deal, but they certainly get the best deals they can.

    I'm sure Daisy does the same!!! :wink:

    David Gold was at PV's 60th party, so they could be "good friends", then again so was I.

    Bizarre how Snodgrass is now on loan at Villa in the Championship. He'd be a major asset to most bottom half PL teams

    Think it was a decent chance for a trophy for Spurs to be honest.

    what with their involvement in Champions league and Premiership this season, this was a cup too far for them.

    Honestly, and I don't say this lightly, I want to see Spurs win trophies. I hate what football has become. Finishing as high up the league will always take priority due to the funds generated.

    I could have kicked the cat across the room when they equalised, I nearly threw my laptop through the tv when they got the third. It hurts but we do have bigger fish to fry. Utd on Saturday lunchtime and Real Madrid midweek followed by Ars*nal at the Cameldome. Fully understandable why Poch rotated the squad.

    Just wish it wasnt against them. No matter who plays, that second half capitulation was an embarrassment. Goes to show what a presence Lloris, Vertonghen and Sanchez are for us at the moment.

    It says a lot that a 3-2 down with 10 mins to go, I'm thinking FFS I'd take the defeat in 90 mins to avoid ET. As it is Utd have got 24hrs extra rest than us before Sat lunchtime. Football should be about winning every bloody game.

    Funny Brady was on the Apprentice tonight in the Royal Box at Wembley with a trophy in front of her. That wont happen again any time soon.

    Oh and West Ham were great 2nd half. Shame Spurs didnt play with the same will.

    Saw the second half and that was an awful performance, Billic looked like he knows he's gone and players played like they don't care.

    Overall an enjoyable 45 minutes watch!!

    Hysterical. Ironically they actually deserve to be playing on waste ground next to a trunk road in Stratford.

    Why have they have had a fire drill at West Ham's last two home matches after 65 minutes but the away fans are allowed to stay in the ground ?

    Sort it out health and safety
