I'm ambivalent towards it now as it (like football) has turned into a grotesque money machine where businesses have to rely (which is insane) on this time of year to keep afloat.
The kids, of course, love it so it's all about them and the joy I get from seeing them happy.
Happy Christmas to you all!  |

My missus is amazing at doing it and I'm like GaryBannister86. Normally I do it but this year I'll be distracting the kids this evening while she's upstairs wrapping their presents. |

They'll want a new man in place now, rather than February/March, who will be able to use the January transfer window to move players in and out. |

Well, Heathrow is the closest and you can get to the ground via the Underground with just one change at Hammersmith (you have to come out of the station, cross the road and then go onto the 'Hammersmith & City' line) but I guess it also depends on where your local carrier flys to. Either way, public transportation to the ground is available from all airports around London but the further away (i.e. Gatwick and Stanstead) will take longer.
Can't advise on hotels, there's thousands of them. Hopefully others may be able to help. |

I think the lesson to learn is not to be knee-jerk reactionary.
It’s a marathon not a sprint and we’re going to get good spells (where ‘are we going up/players are great/manager has to stay’ comments appear) and bad spells (where ‘are we going down/team is rubbish/manager has to go’ comments appear). |

Superb performance, superb result and I’m guessing Hooparoo had a good time!

My understanding was that it was going be down-sized to a 25k athletics stadium (was never intended to stay at 80k) and the national team would move from Crystal Palace (16k) to there. They are now in Birmingham (18k).
An utter balls-up by the Olympics legacy people and the West Ham owners utterly pulled their pants down knowing there was really no other option (Orient too small, Spurs too far/encroaching into east London territory) so they were able to get it for 2' 6" and some Werthers Originals.
That doesn't make it a good football stadium though because it was designed and built to be re-purposed into a smaller athletics stadium, which never happened.

Same!
There have been some really good new stadiums recently (Spurs and Everton prime examples) and just cannot believe how utterly bad this place is, if what I'm told is correct.
Have the fans/club really sold their soul for this compared to the Boleyn Ground? I hear they give loads of tickets away to schools and others really cheap just so they can go on an on about how they are filling out a 50k stadium and what such a massive (innit) club they are. I'd wager their true fans don't number much more, if that, then who went to the Boleyn.
Oh well, we'll see on the 12th!

Whatever the result, I want it to be with a full strength team giving it 100%.
Fans have been mugged off too many times and with 9k there, the club needs to show the fans, the competition and the opposition some respect by playing it's strongest team.

Another vote for Westfields. Yes it's a Mall but just much more convenient if you have family/group of people. |

Lower tier completely gone.
The more I look at the more I think what an utterly awful place to watch a football match.

I have 825 points so will wait until 3pm. It'll be fine (unless Clive has bought them all by then). |

I remember a cup game at Old Trafford and the club fuked up the seating ticket allocation.
They allocated from the back of the upper tier first then worked forwards meaning all the first priority applications got the schit seats right at the back and the general sale got all the good seats right at the front. I wasn't a happy bunny being stuck right at the back.
And we lost 1-0 to a late-ish penalty and we had a late equaliser ruled out (because of course, to both).
Just read the BBC report and it, clearly biased, said "an equaliser would have been unjust given the visitors' reticence to attack." - WTF does that have to do with it???? Goals are only allowed if the team has attacked well but not given if they haven't???
I think a certain Mr Zamora would not agree with that.
