Is that the king they found when digging a parking lot? Horace told me the story but I'm not sure it's that one.

It is the King who was found in the car park

Michael Morpurgo has written a fairy tale about the fairy tale called Fox and the Ghost King -

Hey nickheynes, why is West Ham changing badge? That's something you rarely see in the world of football these days.

Well I think its all to do with the move. The fans actually voted for the change. It give's the badge a modern, more simplistic look. Adds "London" to give a more international feel (I suppose) It's actually the  15th or 16th time the crest has changed. COYI!!

What? 15th time it changes? Well, I wouldn't like my team changing badges so much for no clear reason (although Boca's badge changes frequently due to adding stars to it because titles ).

I've read the change generated some criticism and resistance. One comment on Twitter I found funny about this: "To all West Ham fans in uproar over the new badge... just think it could be a cockerel balancing on a beachball...".  lol

My mum thought the guy in this Hillsborough story looked familiar www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/12/hillsborough-survivors-bid-to-trace-hero-who-saved-his-life/ .

I can't think who she was reminded of...

Cardiff went though badge changes and even colour change (it is back now at the traditional blue) and promptly sold £1M worth of tops! all  affectations of manic owners...i shrug and look forward to when they go so i can get my club back. 
Does west ham new badge include anything about nicking the stadium off orient

Liverpool choking on the UEFA EL final after being up in the score. Spanish teams totally dominating Europe.

Sevilla were a different team in the second half.

Yeah, incredible how the game changed! In the first half Liverpool deserved to score one more goal.

The thing is in the 2nd half they collapsed too easily from a psychological point of view. One early goal against and they were dead. No reaction at all, no pride, no eggs, no anything. Absolutely soulless team.

UEFA Champions League 2016 final 

Real Madrid vs. Atlético de Madrid

May 28th 2016, 20:45 CEST (UTC +2)
Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milano, Italy 



What are your predictions for this?


dillwyn Buttler nickheynes Horacewimp skyclad1904  queenofthehours 21stcenturyman vlogdance and any other who would like to give his opinion.

[Horacewimp]

2-0 to Real

[dillwyn]

0-1 the non real side ...nevermind though world famous cardiff boy Gareth Bale can pick up a winners medal at the euro's

[skyclad1904]

I hope Atletico will win (thanks again, for beating Bayern one round earlier!!!). They have a very strong defensive and are a good collective...so a win in penalties is possible!

[Helmut83]

I'm going to predict something similar to Dillwyn and Skyclad: vengeance time for Atletico. They will play a most stingy game, resist defensively, strike on an isolated counterattack or a set piece, get called the antifootball but finally Simeone's boys will prevail by the minimum difference (probably 1-0; 2-1 if most) and lift the first one for Los Colchoneros.
