Oldskool badge stickers

Just found these unopened at the back of a draw - that’s a proper old badge. Must be from when I was a kid. ⚒️

Sick of Cup final chat

Can we stop saying every time we drop points that it was our oppositions cup final. Its getting Embarrasing.

I honestly don't think teams are stepping up against us. I just think we've played well for 150-200 minutes all season.

Need to start looking at ourselves instead of keep using the excuse that the other team just played at a higher level than normal.

Yes this started mostly as those big twitter accounts trying to get clicks but I'm now seeing this take more on here and hearing it at games.

It has to stop we can't be giving this excuse for the rest of the season.

On this day, 2002: Chelsea 2-3 West Ham - Paolo Di Canio scores sublime volley

28 September, 2002 at Stamford Bridge, West Ham beat Chelsea 3-2 in the Premier League, a first win of the season so cold the Bridge leaves wondering how the basement club ever wrote that script.

Hasselbaink puts Chelsea ahead from the spot after twenty minutes, but Defoe, an early substitute, pokes home the equaliser before the break when Cudicini parries a corner scramble.

Then Di Canio takes over. Three minutes into the second half he flicks the ball up outside the area and volleys from about thirty yards, Cudicini beaten before he has time to set. Zola's sublime free-kick levels it with sixteen left. The Bridge thinks a point is coming.

Di Canio refuses. Six minutes from time he slips through after a defensive muddle and finishes from an acute angle for the winner, then urges every teammate to the final whistle. It is chaotic, mercurial, and thoroughly early-noughties West Ham: trail, equalise, volley, survive, nick it late.

Can you name the missing players?
