Is Etherington Tapping Up Carlton Cole?


If Sullivan is unhappy with Tottenham because Levy rang him to put in an offer for Scott Parker, what does he think about Matty Etherington openly encouraging Carlton Cole to move north to Stoke? KUMB ran a nonsense story yesterday about Jamie Redknapp tapping up Parker because they were on holiday together - ignoring the fact that they are good mates and speak to each other regularly on their mobile phones - but I haven't seen Jamie telling Scott to join Tottenham through the press!

Is this acceptable? What does constitute "tapping up" exactly? If Etherington is allowed to explain to journalists why a move to Stoke would be great for Carlton, it seems that pretty much anything goes!

Any chance that Matty has had a bet on Carlton joining Stoke? Let's hope so, because that will guarantee our goal machine continues to play in Claret and Blue!

Your scribblings are like a mental health care in the community victim who is addicted to masturbation and who just can't stop - please tell us what is wrong with you, and is there anything we can do to help?

I believe you need support, understand and above all professional help.

slagging off kumb now? you're hilarious. you seem to hate all things west ham. you make yourself look like a mug on a daily basis. you do need help

JohnNo said...

yes he hates every one - kumb, the org and Iain dale - what you normally find with someone who hates everything is that the real problem is that they hates themselves more than anything else.

He probably wasn't cuddled as a child, perhaps his father told him he wasn't good enough, something that commonly causes a lot of anger is obviously having a very small penis.... or in a really tragic case it could be all three.

So, what constitutes tapping up? A chairman ringing a chairman, mates on holiday together, announcing to the press that you want to sign somebody without contacting the club or the player, or telling the press how well a player would do at a new club? That's what this thread is about, not the size of my penis. But some people are so worried about the size of their cocks that they can't think of anything else! Tell me John, when the ladies see yours do they say, "Sorry John, No!"

You do hate everyone though HF - seriously mate take a step back, which isn't always easy because you often can't see the wood for the trees... but try and be subjective, ask yourself a simple question "why are there more haters on this blog than the Org, Kumb and Iain Dales put together"

If you can't do that then try asking a friend to honestly review the site for you and ask the following question "do you think I'm liked a respected by the vast majority of people who visit this blog?"

You've been tapping crap into your computer again HF. We've spoken about this before, it's all a bit of a toe curling embarrassment to us west ham fans so please keep the thoughts pugged up in your head, there's a good chap.

The point you and others keep missing John is that this site has had nearly 550,000 hits since last October and there is a hard core of people who post derogatory comments. If this blog was so hated, why do people keep coming back - as indeed you do? And why do so few post negative comments? Let's say there are 20 negative comments a day, that amounts to 1% of the total traffic - and many of the negative comments are posted by the same guy(s). Now any organisation would be happy with a customer satisfaction rate of 99%. I don't hate anyone John. I think some of you are tossers but I don't hate tossers, I just laugh at them! As I keep saying, I could pretend that I have no critics by simply deleting any negative post. I prefer to host those opinions to be truly representative. If I hated the back biters, I would delete them. Simples.

By the way, try going on to WHTID and posting abuse about Mr Dale. You will be banned in double quick time. Try posting criticism of Neville Nixon on the Org, and see how long is is before you are barred. Little Hitlers the pair of them! But TGGC will not resort to banning people, nor to deleting posts that I do not llike - unless they use foul language or are racist. Again, nobody is forced to visit the site are they? So why keep coming? There must be an appeal somewhere!

HF the reason us lot keep coming back to this shite site is because you keep slaging our beloved west ham off and making us look shit all the time.

I think the party line here Is that we want droopy and tottscum to keep their considerable noses out of our business. I'm glad gollivan piped up, as they're clearly meddling. You love defendin the spuds

Hammersfan said...

Then ignore the site 1918. Do you not understand that the more hits a site gets, the more it shows on search engines. By repeatedly visiting, you maximise exposure of the site. How stupid does that make you?

This site can't make West Ham look any more shit than Zola made us look last year! But in Zola you goons trusted! Says it all really!

1942, I do not recognise a "party line". I believe in independent thought, not in coralled thought! That's where we differ, I think for myself, you bleat "West Ham are always right" along with all the over sheep!

Hope we don't lose Cole as his pres-season form has been good. (Would LOVE Ethers back incidentally, but guess that isn't gonna happen.)
Bit of a lull in the transfer market at the moment. Not quite sure what to expect for the coming season. Of course there's the optimism this time of year always brings, but the memories of the utter rubbish we played for most of last year are still painfully fresh, and most of the participants are still present if not correct! We will see whether Zola was truly the major wrecking influence. Perhaps the likes of Noble, Tomkins and Behrami will suddenly blossom working under a proper manager. Let's hope so!

there you go again slagging off west ham fans. you're a very strange hammersfan indeed

Hammersfan said...

Only some West Ham fans are sheep. The majority still retain a sense of humour and a sense of perspective. Sadly the Claret and Blue Yob Mob think support is all about straight arm salutes and abuse of anybody who has a contrary opinion to the party line. These were the unquestioning foot soldiers of Duxbury, the man who guided West Ham to the brink of extinction.

WTF are they talking about? Let's take this post as an example - you've had over 2000 hits today and how many posts slag you off? - maths might not have been my strong point at school but even I know that's a 99% success rate!

Actually I lied I was quiet good at maths and it's actually a 98.67% satisfaction rating for this blog.

Hammersfan said...

Oops, what happened there? See what I can do if I want to? Twat!

WTF You changed my post. Hang on, you can do that whenever you like! What's the point in me and my mates making negative comments if you can just change them whenever you want. And if you don't change them, that must mean you don't give a flying fcuk! WTF, why have I been wasting my time? Shit, I think I had better get a life!
