Yeah they've always got on my nerves with their over-inflated value of themselves as fans and their stupid club.
"Under the lights at the Boleyn"
Yeah, now you have stolen a national stadium and apparently it is awful, shame.
Great fans, leaving before half-time. |  | | |

They love an early train , at Upton Park the plywood seats banging up as they went home early made it seem like firework night |  | | |

Their fans referring to the Boleyn Ground always got on my tits. Never heard it called that when I was growing up in the 70s/80s
Never called that by Brian Moore, David Coleman, Barry Davies, John Motson back in the day on The Big Match, MOTD.
When watching old Big Match Revisiteds and West Ham are the main match and Brian Moore says "half time here at Upton Park" or "welcome back to Upton Park" I always childishly shout at the telly, "Upton Park, not the Boleyn Ground?" |  |

I happened to watch this game. Do we call it a shellacking, a demolition or perhaps a walloping? Arsenal didn't need to get out of 2nd gear. Maybe a humiliation would be better? |  | | |

Apart from the train journey home I never minded Upton Park, old fashioned English football ground same as say Villa Park or Goodison even Anfield, grounds In the heart of the community and not on some out of town trading estate.
In fact Upton Park had some bloody good cafes In the location. |  |

Danny Baker on 606 reckoned that a defeat became a hammering, a walloping, a shellacking (like that turn of phrase as well) at 6-0.
He reckoned that when the Beeb gave their presenters the results the goals were all in numbers but if the number was 6 or more it was also given in letters in brackets afterwards.
6(six).
Just to highlight that 6 goals was not a joke or a typo but was actyally a hammering and was really, really hard to understand let alone explain.
A shellacking. | |

Always loved the history of it, too, Ted.
It was absolute magic for a night game. The steam off the crowd rising up to the floodlights.
Jumpers for goalposts, and all that. | |

I'm 53 years old now, and I still get a little tingle walking up to Loftus Road for night games. There's something almost majestic the way the floodlights light up the white city skyline |  |

I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it. I think he's trying to say that our 26 yr old CEO's analytical view of Andersen belongs in Pseud's corner? Phil Space from Mr Samuel, enjoy the fire drill!! |  | | |

I’m disappointed.
There was still 25 minutes to go when Rice got goal number 6.
Should have got one or two more  |  | | |
