Amazed to see Waste Spam out of the bottom three. They've certainly pulled it out of the hat in the last few weeks |

bornblues, thanks for the link, sorta blows your argument out of the water. Did you actually read it ? :LMAO:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they have admitted that they (The Premier League) were in a position to deduct points in earlier in the year, BUT and it is a BIG but............... because of the ever present threat of a deduction of points, and the fact that West Ham and their fans still turned up, week after week, they rewarded that loyalty by not taking points of them at such a late stage in the proceedings. i.e. last week. This finding is a lawyer's bonanza. It is inept and shoots itself in the foot. Bornblues, what you have been arguing against has been proven as incorrect by the very evidence that you gave us to read. Incredible. I say you are Eggbert Eggbert and claim my £5. :D Thanks for the link mate. **thumbup |

Why does it "blow my argument out of the water"??? if ever i had one, all i said is that sentence had been passed and that should be the end of it, read back through my posts. and it wasnt West Hams fault the hearing was delayed was it?? Yours sincerely Eggbert Eggbert :P |

I think you may be playing the devil's advocate here bornblues, and fair play mate. The way I read this thread, and responses in the press and other boards, is not anti-West Ham, but anti-Premier League. People are seeing a stitch-up and favouritism - and it has been caused by years of mythologising about the East End favourites. The cockney super heroes. People, I think, see this judgement as proof of favouritism. But it has backfired. The more the true fan gets disenchanted with football, and their place on what was once a terrace is now taken by a prawn sandwich big bottom on a padded seat, the less relevance football has to the ordinary bloke. This kind of judgement is almost medieval in its arrogance and ineptitude. and it will be accepted by the "new football" fan. To the rest of us it stinks. I don't care if it is West Ham or West Bristol. If that was Blues or Palace the FULL rule book would have been thrown at them.Because Blues and Palace are not the luvvies of the football establishment. West Ham are. |

i'm sure Trevor Brooking's position at the FA was a key part of the outcome of the punishment typical how Tevez gets the goals to save West Ham when he shouldnt be playing if i was Sheff Utd, Charlton or Wigan, i'd go to FIFA/UEFA |

Good point CPH. I'd forgotten about that connection. Very much like Dein always being present and Arsenal never really coming a cropper. I'm begining to see Ferguson as a Clough / Che figure :D |

:applause: Absolutely. To most people, favouritism has no place in the punishments and decisions made by the FA, yet the media are all too happy to play along to the "cockney charm" of west ham. Without wishin to open a whole new can of worms, this media favouritisms was easily noticeable at the West Ham vs Millwall fixtures in the past, where there was riots and trouble, Millwall felt the full force of media backlash, and painting as a low life thuggish team in the dark reaches of South London, whereas West ham retained their East london cockernee pride (after all, they did win the world cup). Its sickening enough in the media, but when the FA do it aswell :crying: |

Yep. The gist of it being... - they are guilty - the correct penalty is a points deduction - if they had been found guilty straight away (in January) then they would have had points docked - but they won't dock them the same points now because it would be "harder to bear" It's a nonsense. Whether they had been docked points in January, February, March or April the result would been the same : relegation. A disgraceful fix by the Premier League & a shocking lack of backbone (again) from the FA. |

Maybe but it would also have been very harsh to punish the new owner of the club when he had nothing to do with it in the first place. |

Debatable. In any case that wasn't the reason given for not deducting points. |
