West Ham v Brentford

Both teams on shtty runs but Brentford have been playing better quality teams...

Has to be goals.. Though Moyes's probably gonna try to get the bus parked early.. (Leopards and spots)

When Money talks, I have to listen..

It's a very tricky tie to have a strong opinion about, both sides have been struggling and unpredictable.

The market however is strongly in the West Ham camp and now trading around the 2.42 mark having been a fair bit bigger earlier in the day and yesterday.

I've backed West Ham as well in the hope that they simply have got to show up tonight to stop the rot and I'm hoping they'll do exactly that.

COME ON YOU IRONS!! ...

Apologies Emitdeb, I read the thread title and never read your comments first. I do that a lot.

Yes, the shekels are down tonight for sure.

We can just put any opinions on here Slippy, deffo dont need to apologise for anything...

Doubt there be many West ham opinions, they're either there or pretending to be there..  

west hams form is rancid not won in 6 games and home form is not the best with only 5 wins in 12

lay the hammers is my bet

Bowen.

only small mind

It's all good.

2-0

wow still 0-0 on sky sports

2-1

I got involved with PP.. They have paid me out as a winner. must have been the 2-0 rule... Happy Days!

Well done Emitdeb.

Please commentator try to make this match dull..long periods of silence and not much insight will be fine

The pair of them are dullards.

4-1.. Think I just saw the sparrow, front row west stand.. Binoculars (pre war) in one hand, cheese and pickle sandwich in the other...

sparrow would surely be a jellied eel man.

Pie and mash, imo.

Yes indeed, with vinegar and a sprinkle of white pepper no doubt.

A very solid West Ham performance and Bowen was outstanding.
The market got it spot on.

For information regarding culinary habits.........Saveloy and chips for me.

oi oi ay sparrow

Good win for Hammers though, they needed it.

Not carried away with that win although quite an improvement and but for our keeper things might have been very different. Our defending needs to get much better and one thing you learn with West Ham is that you win nothing if you can't defend properly.

You should try supporting my side sparrow (Bradford city) if you think it's hard supporting an unreliable side who like to help the opposition - I've had about last 22 years of them letting me down (with occasional ups), and we've been great at losing to the worst sides in league 2 often enough...

I hear plenty about Bradford from my niece and nephew who are season ticket holders.

I was privileged to watch Duncan the best British player I was ever likely to see.

Apologies wrong thread for Duncan Edwards

I hear plenty about Bradford from my niece and nephew who are season ticket holders.

Blimey, small world indeed - they will have known the trials of the Bantams very well indeed then, fair play to them! We've had a hard time being supporters for sure. And I'm sure you will remember at one point we were playing West Ham in the Premier league.

Stu, you surely must remember this game in the Premier League

I thought it would be that one you posted before I looked!

Yes indeed, one of our most memorable games from our two seasons in the top flight!

Though I prefer to remember our winning ones personally of course

A proper game of football though with nine goals and none of that possession nonsense, stu.

That same season we actually had wins over Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle, which is ridiculous when compared to our current level.

Two entertaining sides for sure!

Just to also show the craziness - Man City were not even in the same league as Bradford City quite literally that year, as a lower down club, which was only in 2000.

I moved to Yorkshire in 1970 and well remember working in Bradford alongside Bradford City and Leeds supporters and just the one Bradford PA fan who was given a very hard time by them all. I have long since moved from that area but still live in Yorkshire.

Ah, yes, the PA fans are a small and hardy bunch still - though I know a few City fans who also support Avenue.

I'm originally from Harrogate and then Ilkley (nearer to Bradford) - hence why I support Bradford. I was torn between Leeds and Bradford for a little while, but family took me towards Bradford - certainly not for the glory-hunting that's for sure, Leeds have almost always been higher up (except for a few very short times).

Hope you enjoy living in Yorkshire - it's a great county to live in IMO. Though I'm a bit biased. Sadly I now live in Wales due to historical moves/work/family - but get back to Bradford games when I can, and folks up there.

Having been here for some 54 years now I think I can say I enjoy it. Coming from the East End of London it was a big move and took some getting used to but I had elder brothers and sisters here who were evacuated during the war.

Yep, guess that counts as settled there in that case! Fair bit different to London (I've also lived very near London, Hatfield and stayed with my brother often who lived in London) so spent a lot of time in London too - funny old world ay. Wouldn't swap Yorkshire for London personally as a place to live - visit fine, living there not for me. It's just grown too populace for me these days.

or populous even, I should say.

Unrecognisable to me nowadays with the old London working class virtually extinct in East London.
