Thank you HighburyBill, he was an absolute gentleman.
30 Nov 2025 20:31:56
Agreed Big Billy what a fantastic player, Manager and Man, RIP Billy ?

I'm sorry but Bowen wasn't strong enough today as a captain, he should've got hold of Paqueta and stopped him getting sent off.

Bowen never shows leadership, the whole team is a disgrace just sat there waiting for a Liverpool team with no confidence to beat us, no quality, no passion, no endeavor, the manager must take some of the blame but so must the players
01 Dec 2025 15:10:30
Liverpool did not even play well. That is even more of a head scratcher. Why did we isolate Wilson?
30 Nov 2025 14:59:43
Paqueta must've had a bet on himself getting sent off, why would you keep harassing the ref like he did, i don't want to see him in a West Ham shirt again that was pathetic behaviour from him on today of all days, get rid!

Sell Pacquetta, buy Harvey Elliot.
A stronger captain, like Bonds, wouldn’t have stood for Pacquetta’s petulant behaviour!
30 Nov 2025 15:19:28
Totally agree, he isn’t bigger than the team or the club and I don’t want to see him in the shirt either ….get rid! ?
30 Nov 2025 15:20:29
Almost as pathetic as the ref giving a yellow in the first place, could have all been avoided if he was competent. Paqueta was stupid but i get the fustration getting a yellow for no reason, every 50,50 going to liverpool them going down the slightest touch. Brilliant tackle from magassa in a dangerous area he gets a yellow.
Bowen needs to be stronger as a captain there also.
30 Nov 2025 16:02:09
My son who is a gooner said the same thing "he needs to go in jan and never wear the West Ham shirt again". Him and Bowen were dog rubbish.
I like magassa, potts and Fernandes but we need more pace up front
30 Nov 2025 14:59:28
Very very poor today. No fight and nothing going forward. Paqueta needs to hang his head in shame, he was poor today as well.

On a day when we lost one of the greatest hammers, this team are everything Billy bonds was not, no fight no passion no leadership, this is a team full of losers.
Liverpool were there for the taking today so we sit deep play completely passively, create nothing and defend terribly.
The headlines will all be about paquettas red card, yes he's an idiot but the whole team is an absolute disgrace

Can’t argue with that REDROBBO2
30 Nov 2025 14:51:41
Such a ridiculous red card. Both yellows for gobbing off to the referee, but the second one is absolutely ludicrous. How has Bowen stood there and allowed it to happen? WEAK CAPTAINCY, he should have grabbed Paqueta by the back of the neck and marched him away.
Bowen just stood there and watched, poor from Bowen, indefensible from Paqueta.

Even his own International team mate couldn’t calm him down so what hope did Bowen have. I have said this before he doesn’t give us enough to be forgiven for behaviour like that ….
30 Nov 2025 16:50:04
Bowen was pathetic. The captain should have dragged him away. Instead he stood there with his thumb up his bum. Disgraceful behaviour by Paqueta and disgraceful non-reaction by his captain.
30 Nov 2025 14:47:22
Paqueta absolute liability! Idiot!

Too much blame being put on on Bowen when What was Nuno doing, he should have hauled Paqueta off immediately he saw his big mouth shouting whilst following the Ref round!
He wants to be gone and so do many fans with behaviour like that??We’re doing badly enough with eleven let alone 10 men! ⚒⚒⚒
01 Dec 2025 10:49:11
IMO Nuno should be known as the “Damager” not Manager, he’s responsible for team behaviour, too many blaming Bowen for on field activities, where would we have been the last few seasons without him! Perhaps we should buy Declan back, too many Whiners on here when things go wrong!
⚒⚒⚒
{Ed025's Note - people are bound to moan after performances like that Chelmsford, it was so weak mate and i cant remember you making one decent chance..
01 Dec 2025 14:15:14
Ed025’s, I completely 100% agree with you, I watched the game effing and blinding all the through, my post was all about the slating of Bowen by so many posters! I believe he was made Cap because many younger players looked up to him as he was inspirational to them? so he is not a Captain insofar as wrestling the arrogant Paqueta off the pitch, Nuno was looking around tugging at hit nose, he should have hauled him off!
⚒⚒⚒
{Ed025's Note - Paqueta was a disgrace Chelmsford, if i didn,t know better i would think he tried to be sent off mate, i think Bowen is your only class player to be honest and if he were to go i would fear for your status as a premiership team but even with him i still believe you are in trouble..
01 Dec 2025 16:05:01
Ed025, Thanks for your thoughts on the incident, every person that saw that happen live, would come to the very same conclusion surely? Absolutely agree with your Bowen comment, too much reliance on one man up front, hope this doesn’t drive him away from our club to a more successful team as there would be many offers for him in the transfer windows?
Thanks again Ed025. ⚒⚒⚒
{Ed025's Note - Bowen will want to be part of the England set up Chelmsford and that will be in jeopardy if hes playing in a struggling side, the Hammers are awful at the moment mate and clubs will be queuing around the block for his signature, unless you get your act together i can see him leaving in Summer if not before, i wish you well my friend..

Agreed, between 2 poor sides terrified of losing
30 Nov 2025 14:42:40
We're just so tame and toothless. We are definitely the club you want to face when you're on a run of 6 losses in 7 games.
30 Nov 2025 14:50:56
Seriously? Paqueta? He's done that on purpose so he doesn't have to play between now and the transfer window.
30 Nov 2025 14:54:55
Oh.Not s straight red? Still. ******g stupid though.
30 Nov 2025 12:19:03
Interesting to see Magassa brought back into the side. Will.it be a 4 at the back or will he drop in to make a 5?
Glad Kilman has been dropped that guy is a liability but not sure if Mavropanos is much better
Agree0

30 Nov 2025 14:05:07
Magassa should never have been dropped after arsenal imo. Still annoys me that we had him, potts, fernandes paqueta available for brenford and leeds but Nuno picked soucek and Irving in both games.
30 Nov 2025 11:22:52
I am speechless. The great Billy Bonds has died. The football world has lost one of its greats. RIP Billy.

For me the greatest Hammer I knew ( i'm too young for bobby moore) but he epitimised what west ham is all about a true warrior who gave everything on and off the pitch and was a complete gent with it, will be greatly missed
RIP Bonzo
30 Nov 2025 12:26:46
Legend. RIP Billy. Let’s make you smile up there today
30 Nov 2025 13:03:34
Agree with the tributes above.
A footballer’s footballer, not an actor like the modern lot.
Anyone imagine him rolling around on the deck if he was brought down?
30 Nov 2025 14:11:35
Just go back from watching my Grandson play and have only now seen the news. I really don't have the words right now, but my sincerest condolences to Billy's family and friends.
A true legend in every sense of the word.
Rest in Peace Billy.
30 Nov 2025 15:35:00
Can only echo the sentiments above. Shame we didn’t have someone like him today.
Absolute legend, warrior yet also a mild mannered gent. Along with Devonshire and brooking and Best my favourite hammers from back in the day.
A sad day
