A bit late due to half term, but watched "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows" (2016) for #MovieChallenge week 22, inspired by the comic book. Obviously I had to watch the 3D version 👓 📺

In the original story they come into contact with toxic ooze, unfortunately in this film they didn't, but I'm still having it for #MovieChallenge week 21, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (2014)

[Weekly #MovieChallenge @CineChallenges]

📽️ #MovieChallenge 2026 - Week 21

For this week's challenge watch a movie where toxicity leaves its mark, whether it's a substance, a system, or a person.

@kumbdotcom No VAR is a good thing to. Watching games is going to be enjoyable again ⚒️

[Ryan @ryandrews]

Looking forward to an email from the club tomorrow telling us that they're putting up season ticket prices because there's more home games in the Championship!

#COYI

[Ryan @ryandrews]

So the Championship beckons next season despite us beating Dirty Leeds 3-0.

Looking forward to a whole new fan base of different teams complaining about what a shit stadium we have as though we don't already know that! #COYI

[KUMB.com: West Ham United FC Online @kumbdotcom]

And to the chairman: you know the game is up too.

You've had a good run, 15 years now, but clinging onto power isn't doing you any favours. We can't sack you, but you know it's over. Take your pound notes and let us have what's left of this great institution back.

Please.

[Ryan @ryandrews]

@vinnywhufc Unfortunately for us, Villa and Newcastle had decent owners back then who were able to take stock of the situation, adapt, change and improve. We will not have that as long as Sullivan is at the club. At least 2 seasons in the Championship for us, maybe more. #COYI

[Ryan @ryandrews]

@HamImages Love this!

[Ryan @ryandrews]

@RippleStarterUK @RoshaneSport Funniest chant was when the police were moving down to the front of the Bobby Moore stand & crowd singing "they're coming for you, they're coming for you! David Sullivan, they're coming for you" 🤣

[Ryan @ryandrews]

@WestHam that #MysteryHammer is the Ginger Pele himself, James Collins! #COYI

[Ryan @ryandrews]

@hollseey Heart says a win for us and a Spurs lost, but head says Spurs scrap for a draw 😔

[Ryan @ryandrews]

This is an absolutely diabolical decision given how hot it is today 🤦

[Supporter Services @WestHamHelp]

⚒️| Please note that a full decant is in operation for today's Premier League fixture Vs Leeds for Home and Away supporters.

[Ryan @ryandrews]

Off to the Thunderdome for the last time this season. This is the shirt for today, hoping I won't be looking for silver linings later! #COYI #WestHamUtd #WHULEE

I've always like Domino's pizza! 😜😂🍕

[Domino's Pizza UK @Dominos_UK]

my predictions for today's games

[Ryan @ryandrews]

I think I changed my FPL Captain about 12 times in that last hour before the deadline!

[Ryan @ryandrews]

@hollseey Don't know about you, but I'm going to be a wreck at the game on Sunday 😂

Karren Brady’s promise of “a world-class team in a world-class stadium” rings even more hollow now. West Ham United should never have moved to a soulless public athletics track. Great move for the board but not for the fans. Leaving Upton Park made sense for commercial reasons but not sporting/atmosphere.

Daniel Levy was right. The Olympic Stadium should have been knocked down and a proper football stadium built there. It is a good site. But the Olympic lobby and politicians got all protective and precious about the 2012 legacy. How often does this country need a huge athletics arena anyway?

Yes, West Ham won a European trophy since they’ve left Upton Park. But London Stadium was always a problem, always a passion-killer, fans distant from the ones they love, the players, and limited potential for increased revenue streams.

Other reasons behind club’s demise. Lack of leadership in the boardroom. Recruitment an issue, too. What a mess. Record losses, fears over future of Fernandes, Summerville and Nuno, intensified protests against chairman Sullivan.  

Relegation likely. Two points adrift of safety following 3-1 defeat to Newcastle. Wretched goal difference (-22) compared to Spurs’ (-9). Spurs need only a point from Chelsea away (hard) or David Moyes’ Everton at home to guarantee survival and condemn West Ham. Can Moyes do West Ham a favour? The club who let him go. West Ham need to beat ex-Spur Joe Rodon and Leeds at home anyway.

West Ham look doomed to the drop. They will return but need better ownership. And many of their fans have been warning of this perfect storm for some time. #WHUFC
