So, yeah. WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE SAY WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE!

Now that I got that off my chest, we've been linked with some right dross. Terry Brown has said we have about 20 million, but he didn't say "20 million to spend", so it's probably more like 7-8 million on transfers and another 7-8 for wages, agent's fees etc.

We're apparently talking with Kelvin Davis of Ipswich, whom I would be very happy to get, also Mawene from Preston and Sidwell + Shorey from Reading.

Stay tuned for another 100 or so posts of me talking to myself (and possibly kangle4), and COME ON YOU IRONS!

I remember getting him on CM0304, I was so proud of finding a gem.

Captain Fantastic :thup: He was magic in the playoff final, he must have covered every inch of the ground 10 times over.

And Rob - Henry and Stevie G make a mockery of that statement in England, never mind Europe.

19 goals, 31 assists. Thats 50 goals Lamps has been involved in this season and that doesn't even highlight the defensive presence the man is.

140+ EPL games in a row, he is a work horse, is a team man and is the best :)

:nape: lampard has been better over the past year.

anyway, west ham have had a great youth system over the years, and they need to stay in the premiership so they don't risk losing upcoming talent. i'd rather take the gamble and buy 4 or 5 premiership quality players.

as for sheringham, it's a tough decision for him. either retire when he's helped to get west ham back to the premiership, or try to help keep them in it next season.

West Ham is a really nice club IMO. I'll be rooting for them to stay up although it's going to be very difficult and I think in the end impossible.

What are Sheringham's plans? Is he hanging the boots up or giving the top flight another shot?

he's agreed to stay another year - he'll be 40 :o

it's good to see Bobby Zamora doing well, he was a legend at Brighton.

From what was said post-match by Chairman 2-Bob Terry "The Devil Incarnate" Brown, Teddy will probably stay another year. It's a decision I like, because Sheringham seems to have been crucial in the improvement of our young players and those who lost conifdence, ie Bobby Zamora. He'll only be a bit part player, but his mentoring role will be invaluable.

As for Fat Frank, let's keep it on topic gents - my final thoughts on the subject are that I hope he dies a slow and painful death. Possibly by being overfed canned spaghetti, Se7en-stylee.

Mind telling me why he's so hated at West Ham? What did he do to anger the Hammer fans?

The reason we signed him in the first place was nepotism, his Uncle Harry Redknapp was manager with his dad, Frank Snr, as assistant. And he was SH*T. And then he got better. And then Chelsea bought him for a seemingly astronomical 8 million quid. And then West Ham sacked Harry for being a crooked c*nt, and Franky Snr left. And then Lampard, who comes from a West Ham family, c*nted off the club about having sh*t fans and poor training regimes (funnily enough, implemented by his uncle and father).

So in a nutshell, we gave him a chance when we shouldn't have, he left and slagged us off, then he became world class, which makes us hate him even more. At least Jimmy Walker saved that penalty.

20 goals last season, and championship player of the year, no reason he should hang his boots up just yet, hes a legend. I like West Ham very much, there gonna be the team im rooting for after Man Utd this upcoming season, i just hope they can survive relegation.

is Matthew Etherington good player in real life :D i always buy him to Galatasaray in FM.

Yes, he's great in the Championship - whether or not he can cut it in the Premiership is yet to be seen, but I certainly think he can.
