Yeah, but she didn't say 'when I arrived here West Ham were a shit club' though did she? :lol: West Ham had no culture? That's fucking preposterous like.

 

You don't say. :rolleyes:

 

Wey you did tbf. :lol: Unless you're agreeing that West Ham have no culture, which is canny mental.

 

No, I meant that they have shit culture.

 

Hmm, I'd disagree like, what with most of their team making up the '66 winners and them being a long-standing club with a large fanbase, but each to their own.

 

Their fans are arseholes - that's enough for me to make that judgement.

 

Behave. Whether you like their fans or not, to say West Ham is a club without culture is just drivel.

It's a shit culture - a culture based on hooliganism, ignorance, swearing, abuse and pure classlessness.

 

Alan Pardew and them was a perfect fit.

James Milner was only sold to Aston Villa because Newcastle thought they could sign Bastian Schweinsteiger for the same money.

 

But having flogged Milner, the Magpies' hopes of landing Schweinsteiger were scuppered when they were quoted more than three times as much for the German star.

 

Former Toon coach Terry McDermott has lifted the lid on why Milner was allowed to leave St James' Park for Villa Park in August 2008.

 

He revealed that he and boss Kevin Keegan were reluctant to lose Milner, but the club's board thought they had lined up Schweinsteiger to replace him.

 

Milner went on to become a popular figure at Villa for the next two seasons under Martin O'Neill before a big money move to Manchester City in 2010.

 

It is believed Villa snapped up the versatile midfielder for £12 million, although McDermott has suggested the fee was more like £15 million.

 

"We were actually at the club when we sold him, myself and Kevin Keegan," he recalled.

 

"We sold him for 15 million quid.

 

"The story goes - and this is a true story - we didn't want him to leave but we needed to get other players in because we'd had a bid of 15 million quid.

 

"Kevin said 'if we sell him for 15 million quid, how are we going to replace him?'

 

"They said 'we've already got one - Schweinsteiger'. He's at Man United now but seven or eight years ago he was a superstar and they said we could get him.

 

"The idea of accepting the bid of 15 million for Milner, which was a lot of money then, and then we're looking to get Schweinsteiger it's a no brainer.

 

"But after he's signed for Villa - the day after - we're trying to sign Schweinsteiger and the answer was 'absolutely no chance, it will cost you £50 million if you wanted to buy Schweinsteiger'.

 

"So we had no one to replace him. But he was irreplaceable anyway because he could play anywhere."
