Hammers Chat

It's today. I'm packing my suitcase for a trip to Kazakhstan within the hour.

The way the squad is shrinking by the day,I think we should play our Under 19s in that competition.

Or ask Noble to come out of retirement for that game.

Absolutely pointless competition.
Re-branded Intertoto cup that identifies small/desperate teams by how serious they take it.

Not really totally true though is it? Think when UEFA abolished the inter toto those that would have qualified entered the qualifying stages of the EL. Though granted the conference league can be seen as an extension of the EL at the qualifying stages.

It was a chance for the victorious team to climb the ladder without relying on their league position, hard to do more than one step, but a chance non the less. Not to be scoffed at.

A fine chance to acquire some more illegals my learned friend.
So far I've had a trial run and found that it's possible to get 17 of the little blighters in to a MK1 ford Cortina.

I can’t believe you really mean that- if we are to be taken seriously as a football club this is a competition that will determine whether we can be taken seriously in Europe or not-

If we did decide to play understrength teams in it we might as well not bother trying to qualify for any European competition-

A bit of tongue in cheek,considering the size of the squad and the success of the Under 19s.

Quite so.

As long as the cunts can get to the Turkish border my VW van can cram 40 in.


But sadly we've got either a Danish team or one from the Faroe Islands. I may make the trip anyway at 10k a pop.
