Video circulating on FB of PDC asking for people to respect social distancing whilst wearing a retro west ham shirt and then proceeds to do keepy uppies whilst singing Bubbles. Legend. Wish I knew how to save it down and share it!

Here it is:-

Top man. I wonder how many other foreign players bothered to learn the words to Bubbles?
Reminded me of this....... https://mobile.twitter.com/BillyBondsStand/status/...

There was a Twitter session w/ Pablo Fornals a couple of days ago - looked like he was having a crack

Just noticed this re. the Club/finances, hadn't picked up on it before:

Fornals has the potential to become a top club player, he shows so much emotion on the pitch, love seeing his celebrations!

The PFA are being utter twunts in all this, saying that if players take a pay cut they pay less tax and it impacts the NHS. Disgraceful that they are attempting to justify their players salaries by some sort of weak minded sympathy vote pulling the NHS in. fk, every company should just keep their staff on across the country and pay them full salary then - utter bell ends.

Furloughing is for companies that genuinely cannot afford to pay their staff. If a club can afford to pay its players but not its cleaners, that is beyond a joke.

Great photo. Hope they show how much they miss it by playing out their skin when they come back!

It's good to see. Dildo Bro's have chucked in a fair amount of their own wedge as well, I am quite impressed.

Not really too fussed about what Spurs are doing, their Chairman is a tycoon with other peoples money in my opinion, clearly lacking in empathy and most of my Spurs supporting mates are mortified at their situation.

Still my favourite player! The interview is basically a live/more up to date version of his book.

I had the pleasure of meeting him last year, I'm more regular in Rome for Lazio matches these days than I am at the OS in London, bumped into him while wearing a Lazio hoodie, finally got the picture with my footballing hero.

I will listen to all 45 mins of this later but why was he angry about the manner in which he left West Ham?

[AJB88]

Hes not in all fairness, more upset he left, he wanted to stay.

[coldel]

He said when we were relegated he would have signed any new contract just to keep playing and they wouldn’t offer it. The board wanted him out.

Ah yes, I seem to remember there were some odd decisions at that time.

There’s been Very many odd/mad decisions by West Ham boards for years. That was just one of them.
