Being a west ham supporter makes one uniquely qualified to identify bang-averageness when we see it...
Out of their depth managers, owners with questionable motives, horribly overpaid has-beens. We've seen it all.

Is this still the rule implemented a few years back?
A player who has suffered a head injury must first leave the pitch. The decision of whether he is fit to play on will be taken out of the manger's hands and instead becomes the sole responsibility of the club doctor.

These are the guidelines from The FA
Many other sports have stricter guidelines and includes temporary head substitutes which shoold be used in football

In all seriousness, this is surely the best way to enjoy football. Take joy with the (occasional) moments of triumph and get over the rest of it with a pint with your mates afterwards.
I read the output from supporters of the more successful clubs on this forum, and I'm glad I was taken along to UP by my mate's dad 40 odd years ago.

If we hadn't moved stadium I'd completely agree. I remember leaving the Millennium Stadium in 06 after we lost the FA cup final still proud of my team and had a great session after. If that was a "big club" forums, Fan TV and social media would be in meltdown.

I would like to see even stricter rules being brought in where the decision is made by an independent doctor rather than the club doctor. I know that the doctor's responsibility is to the welfare of their patient but in a 50/50 situation with a player like Salah/Aguero/Fernandes/Kane the doctor must feel the pressure to allow them to play on, knowing how important tehy are to their team.

i actually prefer most my mates arent arsenal fans these days, get a far better perspective chatting with fans of other clubs (mainly west ham spurs chelsea everton)
seen the bad (mid 80s), the boring (george graham years), the great and successful (thanks Arsene!) and now we're reverting back to our previous mid table level again. seeing how some fans who have only seen the wenger era onwards and how they react is certainly eye opening at times! and always good to compare to other clubs and their fans for sure
be great to be able to chew the fat post game over a few beers again thats for sure

Projecting only shows I'm right. Fans of my club, know we are crap and will always be crap, the best we'll get is a cup win maybe.
A large chunk of Arsenal fans are delusional, believing that they're a power house. They haven't one the PL for 17 years, and haven't made the top 4 in 5 years. You are a better than average side, mismanaged at most levels. Just accept it and you'll be likeable to the rest of the league, and happier!
(also we're above you in the table, and we are crap)
Disagree there are a few that have ideas above our station and think we deserve champ league on empty promises.

I assume Luiz didn't have to leave the pitch because the game wasn't actually continuing. They would have done the assessment while Jimenez was being treated, while the game was paused.
There was no suggestion that he later went off for concussion or that the doctor got it wrong. Arteta said he was just uncomfortable wearing the tight bandage, and it kept bleeding more every time he headed it so there was no point in him playing.

Echo the sentiments.
I'm old enough to remember most of the currently successful teams being pretty pony. Most people used to still enjoy their football though. People seem so angry nowadays, and to take it so bloody seriously.

Really? I’ve not come across (m)any like that in 40 years of going. Even when we had billionaire owners you knew it was gonna go tits up.

its the entitlement some fans have that bugs me. im critical at time, want the best for my side, but i dont expect or believe we deserve or are entitled to anything (especially at the moment lol)

Yes, but its what you get used to, look at Chelsea and City's fans expectations nowadays compared to 20-25 years ago.
If West ham had sustained success for 10 years, your fans expectations would vastly increase.
Take my word for it.

For a great example of this I always enjoy reading the match day thread on Spurs Forum “The Fighting Cock” when we beat them. It always starts with supreme arrogance, them disbelief, then anger. Leading to calls for the manager to be sacked and the owner to sell up! Real laugh out loud stuff. ?
