| 0:24.5 | night with Bill Gardner, who has been a West Ham legend for the last 67 years. I think he's been |
| 0:29.7 | to probably over a thousand games. And when he spoke, it just made me think like the state |
| 0:36.3 | we're in as a football club right now. |
| 0:38.8 | I just don't feel good what's happening right now and I don't think anyone does. |
| 0:42.1 | The club feels disjointed. |
| 0:43.9 | There's a lot of anger between the fans. |
| 0:46.0 | It's just a lot of people pissed off. |
