So its a few hours away from the game and our little Ozzy player has said something that makes us proud of him :
“We’re close to 70/80 minutes of good footballing stamina. It’s going to be a tough game for us, I think later on in the game we’ll probably look a little bit jaded.
“But I think the adrenaline and the excitement that surrounds the game will keep us going. There’s a lot at stake, trans-Atlantic pride. We’ve got some of our weapons back so we’re excited now that we’re going to have threats all over the field. We’ve got goalscorers, pace down the wings and we can defend quite well.
“If we can put all that blend together it’s going to be en exciting season for West Ham.”
Well said Lucas, 2 games 2 wins so far, lets make it 3 and with a big goal margin.
The incredible true story of how an orphaned Jamaican baby, adopted by an elderly white couple and brought up in an all white area of London, became one of the most feared and respected men in Britain. CASS grew up in a time before political correctness and was forced to endure racist bullying on a daily basis, until one day when the years of pent up anger came out in a violent burst. CASS found through violence the respect he never had and became addicted to the buzz of fighting. His way of life finally caught up with him when an attempted assassination on his life, saw him shot three times at point blank range. His inner strength somehow managed to keep him alive but he was left with a dilemma; whether to seek vengeance as the street had taught him, or renounce his violent past. This is the extraordinary story of his life.
All good things come to those that wait, as the old saying goes. And after years of enduring heartache, we finally have everything in place…and Gianluca Nani.
We all seemed perplexed somewhat as to why everything was so quiet when he arrived, and wondered when the ball would get rolling. But as I said before, it’s just a matter of patience that is required, and then we will start seeing much change.
Signing Behrami is just the beginning of more talent coming to our club in the future; much of which will be down to Nani himself. This guy doesn’t mess around and is careful and articulate in what he does and who he wants. So in my opinion we have a man who will be a key factor in the progress and strengthening of our squad, who will be a major part of pushing us forward. Someone who will push our claret n blue batallion forward.
I have read a lot about Crew supporters since the trouble at the Crew Stadium with West fans, and quite a lot of it is bad news for Crew, Read THIS ARTICLE HERE and then the statement below from The Crew Supporters Union
STATEMENT FROM CREW SUPPORTERS UNION
As many of you are aware, a small scuffle occurred Sunday evening
between a group of West Ham fans and Crew supporters in the Nordecke.
The Crew supporters were attempting to get the West Ham fans, who were
throwing beer and trying to instigate fights, out of the top of the
section where families are seated with no assistance from the security
representatives located around the section. This incident has now been
sensationalized by the media as a “brawl”. We, the leaders of the Crew
Supporter’s Union, feel that the blame should fall squarely on
Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC, a security company) for lack of
training the personnel hired to work MLS games and the Crew Front
Office for cutting down on the number of security guards around the
section when a club known more for hooliganism than soccer is expected
to be present at a game. The bottom line is that the West Ham fans
should have never made it into the supporter’s section, let alone ten
rows deep. Before the next home match on August 16 against our sister
club, FC Dallas, we will try to work with the Crew Front Office to get
CSC to explain their violent and unnecessary harassment of Crew
supporters in the first half and hopefully to find a better security
solution than what is currently being provided.

Good or bad idea? Dean Ashton seems to think its a brilliant idea, so how would the team be picked?
The MLS All-Star squad is selected by voting from fans, the media, team head coaches and general managers, so would that mean Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool & Arsenal players only in the team.
I can see the bigwigs at the EPL headquarters rubbing their hands with the thought of more income.
Playing this game mid season would cause games to be postponed and could also bring on unnecessary injuries to what is already hectic for some teams during a season.
So is it a good idea, or should we just stick to Premier League football and battle it out for Euro places.
