Old school cynic & traditionalist. First game 1968. Preserving WHU history. Hate injustice, Brexshit & Tories. Save #NHS & planet.

Vintage performance that stunned Revie and his team.

Two days after putting six goals past Fulham, @WestHam beat @LUFC 7-0 in the League Cup. #WHUFC goals at Upton Park from John Sissons (3), @TheGeoffHurst (3) & Martin Peters #OTD #OnThisDay

@Steven147James I meant when he was relegated from the Premier League with Leicester in 2024-25. He played in 27 league games for them.

Melt.

[EX Hammers 💙🇪🇺 @EXHammers]

Why slaughter Hermansen? The finger of blame should be pointed at the blind idiot who, after the keeper was relegated from the Championship with Leicester, thought it was a good idea for us to sign him.

On 7th November, 1964, @WestHam drew 1-1 with @Rovers at Upton Park. #WHUFC's goal was scored by John Sissons #OnThisDay #OTD

@westhamfootball @TheSun But the ownership was, of course, exemplary.

Jim Barrett Jr was born on this day 1930 a 'stones throw' from the Boleyn ground. Between 1950-54 Jim played 91 games for West Ham scoring 26 goals. His West Ham Legend Father Jim Barrett Sr, played over 500 games between 1923-45. They played together in the 'A' Team in 1945 ⚒️

Recruitment is our biggest issue. At Brighton, Brentford, Bouremouth it doesn't seem to mattter much who the manager is.

It's the calibre of players they recruit.

And we have failed miserably in this respect for too many years. That's what needs to change.

[EX Hammers 💙🇪🇺 @EXHammers]

@David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC Serial Premier League failure and bullshitter. No more than another short-term appointment.

One of the 1957-58 Second Division winning team was born on this day 1931. Mike Grice cost £10,000 when West Ham bought him from Colchester in 1955 - twice what we paid Southall over 20 years later for Alan Devonshire! Mike played 165 games in Claret and Blue scoring 22 goals ⚒️

@Petersbrooking @NWLondonHammer Who is the director of recruitment - Stevie Wonder?

[EX Hammers 💙🇪🇺 @EXHammers]

Parker - another bulllshitter.

Sacked by Bournemouth, Fulham & Burnley. No thanks.

OK in the Championship but woefully out of his depth in Prem.

An oddbod too with his constant references to "the group" and all that BS.

[EX Hammers 💙🇪🇺 @EXHammers]

@timsyouruncle @Hyperic55949796 And then what happened each time . . . he was swiftly sacked, out of his depth.

Why appoint someone knowing we'll be looking for another new manager a few months into his Prem tenure (if he does get us promoted)?

[EX Hammers 💙🇪🇺 @EXHammers]

There will be a long queue of competent, capable managers in Europe who'd leap at managing our club. We obviously need to pick the right one.

Could we tempt Cesc Fabregas from Como, or does he have his sights elsewhere in top flight European football?

Nah, thought not!

@Hyperic55949796 Ah, but he's a "legend" fans say.

Is he fuck.

[EX Hammers 💙🇪🇺 @EXHammers]

@NWLondonHammer Should be planning more than one season ahead. Get in someone (inevitably a foreign coach) who will not only get us promoted, but will keep us in tbe Prem and progress within it.

History shows Parker cannot do that.

[West Ham Utd OnThisDay @WHUFC_OnThisDay]

On 3rd November, 1979, @WestHam beat @Wrexham_AFC 1-0 at Upton Park. #WHUFC's goal was scored by Geoff Pike #OnThisDay #OTD
