Say what you like about Pulis style but he has a track record of guaranteed safety and establishing club as a solid mid table side. Im sure their fans would sacrifice sexy football to stay in the Premier League.

You should of heard them at Anfield last weeken,.

They've had MORE than enough of being bored shitless week in, week out. The main gripe was they wouldn't mind if it was just when they went to places like Anfield or the Emirates or the like. But he plays the same way, the ONLY way he knows, against EVERYONE. At home to Burnley or Sunderland they set up and play the exact same, archaic brand of football. The away end singing 'Tony Pulis, your football is *****', whilst madly celebrating an actual shot at goal summed it all up.

West Brom are traditionally a good footballing side every bit as much as say West Ham play on. If you're paying your hard earned money, fans want to be entertained. Bottom line. And he is the furthest possible thing from that.
 
Many of Raiola’s players treat him as an all-purpose helpmeet. Mario Balotelli once phoned him to say his house was on fire; Raiola advised him to try the fire brigade.

I feel like that says a lot about Balotelli

Lol. Mate, footballers, honestly .....

I know a lad who used to work for Everton. He was like a player go-to guy. Taxi service for any new players/ young players that didn't have a car. Picking new signings up the airport/ train station. Fixing things around the home. Minder. The full gambit. Anyways, they picked up this fella' from Arsenal. 18/19. This is around the late '90's/ early 00's. Under the radar signing who they had high hopes for him. He turned into nottin'. Well, Everton put the kid in an apartment they own in town. And Mark gets a call saying he needs to go down, the washing machines broke ..... The kid was only trying to wash his clothes the dishwasher! Seriously.

They get EVERY last thing done for them now as kids so all they have to worry about is football that most of them have ZERO life skills what so ever. SO much wrong with the youth ranks.
 
[h=1]Olympic Stadium chief David Edmonds resigns[/h]
The chairman of the London Legacy Development Corporation, owners of the Olympic Stadium, has resigned.


David Edmonds, who has been a director of the company that controls the Olympic Park since 2009, offered his resignation to the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, on Wednesday night.


It comes after Sky News learned that the taxpayer-funded cost of turning the icon of London 2012 into a football stadium for West Ham United has risen from £272m to £323m.

Mayor Khan has launched an investigation into the cost and said "big questions" need to be asked about the conversion.


David Goldstone, chief executive of the London Legacy Development Corporation, said: "David has made an enormous contribution to the legacy of the London 2012 Games and he has helped to steer the organisation through some extremely challenging issues. We thank him for all his hard work and wish him well in the future."



One of the factors behind the rise in costs is the estimated annual outlay of moving "retractable" seats, Sky News learned.


The cost of the seats, installed to improve the view for football, has increased from an estimated £300,000 to as much as £8m.


Engineers have said work to move them could take 15 days at the end of the football season and 15 days to put them back after the summer - three times as long as the five days initially predicted for each period.

The seating issue threatens the viability of the stadium's summer schedule, which includes concerts as well as athletics in 2017, and could even delay West Ham's return for the start of the new football season.


The rise in the cost of converting the arena for football takes the total cost of the stadium to £752m, all of which has been met by the taxpayer apart from a £15m contribution from West Ham.

Holy ****!!! Are West Ham on the Dole??
They'll be getting Child Benefit next

The Olympic Stadium project has been a disaster. Why is it that they do these things better in other countries? They should have considered long term football usage before the stadium was build and kept that in mind with the design. The Stadium Olympico in Italy has worked well with both Lazio and Roma sharing the stadium and have arguably helped it feel like a footballing ground. The project is a disaster and a waste of taxpayers. Just comical.
 
Apparently he was heard asking the doctor; "Is it dangerous? Or can I play football & bang in goals?"

The doctor replied; "Of course, just have a couple of weeks rest".

Janssen; "That's good, because I couldn't do it before"
