If the rumours are to be believed, it would appear that James Collins will be the next to catch the fast train out of Upton Park. Personally I believe this would be a terrible mistake.
Apart from his injury problems, Collins has been outstanding since we signed him. This season he has been a giant alongside Upson and, in some games, it has appeared as if his carrot topped head has been a magnet for any ball crossed into our box. After the Sunderland game at the Stadium of Dim Light, his head must have ached for a week. Time and time and time and time and time again it was Collins rising to head it clear as Blunderland pumped the ball into our box. He has also been incredibly brave when closing down crosses, throwing himself in front of shots, risking injury in the team's cause.
Some contended that he and Upson could not play together but they were rarely exposed when partnered. We conceded three goals in just six games in the recently completed season - and Collins only played in one of those. Yes Tomkins shows a lot of promise but, if you look at the facts, we are more solid defensively when Ginge is in the team. Experience counts for a lot in a centre half!
And Collins does not get the credit he deserves for the Great Escape either. People forget that it was only when Collins and Ferdinand were united together in the centre of our defence that we went on our winning run. Yes, of course, Tevez grabbed the headlines but you win games by stopping the opposition from scoring as well as by netting yourself. Collins was a vital cog in our survival!
I desperately hope that the rumours are wrong. James Ginge Collins has a future at West Ham in my opinion. I only hope that Zola agrees!
Surely just paper talk.
ReplyDeleteI mean, Cardiff? Will he want to drop down to the championship?

ReplyDeleteWhat information supernumbersix? That he may go, or the statistics?
ReplyDeleteCollins has gotta stay he is one of the best defenders at the moment.When I went to c us play at Sunderland and the home game at Portsmouth when he went down at half time I was right behind him and the fans gave him a standing ovation when he got up. Gotta stay ging
ReplyDeleteOne of your 'chums' is arsing about HF.
ReplyDeleteThe first comment was me, the second was some SLIMEBAG, who needs to slither back under his rock.
I'm gonna sign off, I really don't want to get dragged into all that shite.
Mate, don't let it worry you. I have referred the matter to News Now and given them examples of the abuse that is being posted on here> I'm not sure what they can do, if anything. If you register fully and use your Google id, nobody can post as you. If you refrain from commenting you let the bullies win don't you. Just a bunch of cowards hiding behind computer screens.
ReplyDeleteIts not worth the hassle mate, goodnight!
ReplyDeleteTomkins & Upson are the pairing now so if Collins doesnt like it get rid I say.
ReplyDeleteYou would know all about hiding behind a computer screen my friend! What goes around comes around, only a bit of harmless banter isn't it??
ReplyDeleteLOL I don't hide and never have. So, you want a meet?
ReplyDeleteMind you, I'm not coming up to Scotland for the meeting Robert.
ReplyDeleteLittle tip off mate, News Now are monitoring who is posting and when and a little investigation is underway regarding who is on the org at the time. Nev will be asked to close memberships once links are established. I have forwarded copies of comments posted on this site and they are not impressed. The racist comments will be forwarded to the police and an investigation requested. You are not as anonymous as you think. Your service provider is under obligation to provide details should there be sufficient evidence that you are engaging in race hate. I am sick to death of your antisemitism and crude racism. However, I am happy for you to keep contributing for now to help you hang yourself. A meeting would obviously make life so much easier!
ReplyDeleteNumber one identified for sure. A trace on times you have posted on here and on the org is underway. Already have five direct matches. Silly man.
ReplyDeleteWhat a load of rubbish you talk its not down to newsnow its down to blogspot and in turn you are responsible for what is published I would check your T&C's when you opened your blog
ReplyDeleteSupernumbersix is right, some idiot is copying identities. As for Collins, keep him, he's been an absolute rock for us.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I am moderating and removing the offensive posts. News Now are involved because of their link to the org. Nev can expect contact shortly and if you and your friends lose him the feeder link, he will not be best pleased. I don't care if you don't believe me. Go on, sign back on to the org you coward. If you don't think the monitoring is taking place, why did you log out before replying on here? I have copies of your posts on both sites and a copy of the Current Season page showing you and four others logged on at the time of your post here (as per the request to support the investigation). Of course, it will help further if you have written directly to News Now. Silly man.
ReplyDeleteI'm nothing to do with the org never have been and I've never posted any foul,racist or threatening post's so there's no point chucking your toys out of the pram at me I was simply pointing something out that you should have known since 2007, Silly man
ReplyDeleteIronside mate, it is the same coward who is hiding behind anonymous and Seeker of Truth and Justice. An investigation is underway as I have stated in my replies to the idiot. A lot of what he has posted constitutes race hate and we have now identified which of the posters on the org he is. Establishing his actual identity will not be difficult if the police become involved. In the meantime, try to ignore him!
ReplyDeleteYour denials do not wash. I have copies of you confirming your involvement with the org. Silly man.
ReplyDeleteDelighted to see you are back on News Now, I saw the first response to the previous article, posted at about 6.45 CET. These people really do need therapy.
ReplyDeleteI was never off Marty mate. It was a little trap we set to invite precisely the sort of comment that was left. News Now are not impressed by the hate posts appearing on here and are offering help in identifying the culprits. It seems that a police investigation genuinely may follow because of the racist nature of lots of the comments (which I have saved but remove from the blog so as to avoid distress).
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the mordant blog
ReplyDeleteGood to have you looking in Nathan.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is Nathan
ReplyDeleteA bi guy from the org. Nice fella by all accounts. All sorts welcome here. Liquorish especially.
ReplyDeleteI see what your doing your guessing who's posting by seeing who is logged on to WHF.org! not very reliable though eh
ReplyDeleteNot that I am at all partial to it but isn't it "Liquorice"; nice word, shame about the taste.
ReplyDeleteAs for Collins, he has shone like a lighthouse for us on occasions and as you say; was one of the heroes of the great escape. He hits the ball more "solid" than any other player in the squad and is the strongest in the air. He is premiership quality, forget Gabbidon, I am yet to be convinced that he will make a significant contribution next year, our four centre backs are Upson, Tomkins, Collins and Neill if he stays. Collins must be kept, we would never be able to replace him for the money he would attract.
ReplyDeleteApparently not Nathan. Swinging on both sites at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought marty but my spell check says otherwise! I love the stuff!
KEEP COLLINS!
ReplyDeleteI also think we should keep Collins,
ReplyDeleteand it's liquorice,
Liquorish is a bar in London or a surname
if we lost collins it would be so dissapointed he been such a lad. And when he doesn't play i always member him taking a free kick before the games trying to hit the ball as hard as he can then he goes to the half way line and does the cross bar challenge. He was at Top golf in chigwell the other day my mate was up there and got his signiture. Although you have to remember tomkins will be banned at the start of the season as he got a straight Red at Everton and in october and november we lose tomkins again to some england thing in egypt. So we need ginge
ReplyDeletei thought newsnow was for news, not these poxy little blogs, but nevermind. I'm sure newsnow don't have their best people fretting about how much you're disliked. You seem to perpetuate this situation Hammersfan by writing twaddle on a daily basis and i can only conclude that this in some way massages your fragile ego. Best of luck with the little blog though and I hope it brings you happiness eventually. All it seems to have brought you so far is confirmation that you're not very well liked in the West Ham fraternity
ReplyDeleteI think the people at News Now are genuinely very concerned about racist abuse and race hate Nathan. They may also be concerned that a site advertised on News Now is being used to coordinate this abuse. I am not surprised given the evidence I have passed to them. It is criminal to express the views that have been expressed on the comments section to this blog and I can assure you that strenuous efforts are being made to track down the culprits.
ReplyDeleteyou have a real thing about nathan don't you
ReplyDeleteYep. It may be the bi suffix.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a poxy blog you wont be missed in the slightest. Cherio spud fan you aint no hammer ta ta mug.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going anywhere Nathan.
