Gary mate! I am a 24/7/365 carer for my wife, its a job that is all consuming, tiring and stressful. One of the best wind-downs and reliefs from it all is enjoying the C&B videos and there's me watching, blissfully unaware about how much work you guys put into it and how much time and effort it takes, sorry it has burnt you out a bit, I'd never find the time to do it, so thank you. I'll miss you on the C&B channel very much but will enjoy the new channel as well as I always really like your content. You've offered to help me out in the past, and I am extending the same to you mate. COYI
Two west ham channels sounds pretty good to me. We can still be West Ham family with different points of view and opinions. You’re doing great Gary. Stay strong.
Gary I'm glad you didn't pull the studio apart. You're a massive part of the west ham family. We might disagree but we're all west ham till I die. Thank you for being real. I hope Nicky and yourself can sort it out. COYI
Thank you mate. We will sort it out, we always do. This is a huge change for us both but we'll get used to it eventually, probably when the new season kicks off
Gary mate that took some bollocks to share all that with the subscribers!! C&B up there with only a few West Ham channels, the humour with you lads has mad my day for a while! I’ll be watching both channels, all the best mate 👍🏻 COYIs!!! ⚒⚒⚒
Real emotions Gary. Thank you for sharing. Family is hard. I for one love the content you all have been creating and it made me a Hammer. Please continue doing what you do and enjoy doing 👍🏼
Thank you mate and of course I will, I love making content. It just needs to fit around me, not the other way around. But I will come up with a plan to do regular content.
Gary, sometimes you have to do what you have to do for the sake of yours and your family's quality of life, you have to put yourself first. That was an emotional watch , through tears in my eyes too. You did a brilliant job with C&B and I'm sure you will with this channel too. Always enjoyed your rambles and Sunday night shows. Good luck and all the best with your new venture, I'll be following with interest. Take care mate. COYI ⚒ 👍
Stay strong Gary mate, plenty of us here supporting you and this channel. One thing for sure the West Ham family will always respect those who have opinions. Better to travel life on the small lanes where you discover yourself rather than rushing down the highway following the crowds. Good luck Gary, COYI
I’m just glad you’re staying on you tube. I greatly value your contribution and the heart and soul you’ve put into C&B since your first video. You are a “real” presence, an honest, compassionate West Ham fan. I’m a few years older than you and can relate to shared memories of our beloved club. You’ve got a natural talent for presenting, there’s not another like you on a West Ham channel and you’ve kept me going through some dark personal times. This is a family here. I’m glad you shouted out not only the C&B presenters but also all the other contributors especially Nigel who is frankly a West Ham historian beyond compare. He too has integrity. You offered something different without ego or showmanship. I look forward to your next adventure. Thanks for being you Gary. COYI ⚒⚒⚒
Gary, I’ll be here supporting the channel all the way! I am glad you’re still finding good light in making content for the future. Do not feel sad on the closing chapter be happy you was a part of the chapter. The next chapter is about you and your focus. As a viewer i look forward to it.. up the hammers COYI
I’m sure you already know this but the most important thing is to enjoy this channel and feel no pressure to upload or keep a strict schedule. Can’t wait for some of your videos.
It's amazing how many situations disintegrate once something becomes monetised. I've read between the lines on some of the things that were said, and I stand to be corrected, but once there's dough involved, it does tend to corrupt the reasons people started up something in the first place.
Whatever issues you have with Nick, mate; That's between the two of you. The West Ham community still all have your back. That's why we're all here. West Ham. Always. Look forward to seeing your thoughts on the upcoming season, mate. ⚒#COYI
This was hard to watch Gary, I can clearly see this was hard for you. I was so looking forward to the 2 of you talking about the new West Ham of next season I really was. I really hope you 2 can get back on good terms as it seems to not be the case. Family is everything ❤I will be watching every video you release already subbed and notifications on! Take care buddy.
Didnt appreciate how hard you guys work away from the cameras to make these videos so entertaining . Was a brave video to make and best of luck to you . I for one will be watching your content along side Nick with his team . Do the things you love and love what you do mate COYI
What an open and honest chat this was from yourself to us. You are a lovely Man Gary,you really are. I felt every word that you have just shared. If I could put it into my own words,it would be REAL….. And that’s you And I love that!! I can’t wait to be part of your RU-vid Channel journey And the content that you will be sharing with us. Bless you Gary And thank you for being you Simon x
I'm not gonna lie Gary, I was totally gutted when I watched Nick's video earlier today and heard that you were leaving C&B, but I completely understand where you are coming from. Making RU-vid content can take over your life and your family and personal life should come first, it's good to hear that you are going to be spending more time with them and your friends and I wish you the very best for the future. I hope you continue to make videos but don't feel obliged and do it at your leisure as and when you can. I also enjoyed your daily rambles. Do you think you might pop on the the C&B as a guest from time to time for maybe an hour slot? I was almost welling up myself watching this, a very heartfelt video. Here's to a more positive season, I am loving the training videos the official West Ham YT channel are putting out there and I am, for once feeling optimistic for the upcoming season. All the best Gary to you and your family. COYI. ⚒
A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do Gary, and sometimes that’s put himself first for the sake of those he cares about. Well done for all the hard work you did on C&B and I look forward to your content on C&B extra.
Thanks Bob, really appreciate it. I know it's a bit selfish but like you said, gotta put myself and my situation first. RU-vid can't dominate your life, it needs to fit in around it.
I have always enjoyed the individual C&B content you presented, same as the C&B group shows you were part of, you were a big part of that and the opinions of each of the age groups gave a fair balance to a common theme, Moyes Out. Whatever you decide to do, wherever you take this opportunity I will continue to follow you. Stel and his Voice channel broke away from Anton & Russ and that has gone from strength to strength, and I cannot see why C&B Extra can’t do the same, we as WH fans have a number of quality channels to choose from and yours will be another in that list. Please don’t let it consume your life, but enjoy it as part of your ‘hobbies’ that fit within your family and social life.
I must admit to having been upset watching this which I never expected from viewing a video about my beloved West Ham. I completely understand why you became emotional....displaying your emotions is NEVER anything to be ashamed of....on the contrary...you should be proud. We are all one family....we all love West Ham under whatever guise....we would love to help you move on bit its only you that can do that....we're here for you..we all love you....❤...
Gary best of luck to you, I used to be a steward at Upton oark and in 2002 being in the RAF I got posted abroad, I had to say goodbye to the club I love after being at every home game for 10 yesrs albeit as a steward. I have been overseas ever since, currently Saudi Arabia. You guys help me feel connected with your passion, especially after matches. I will watch both channels for sure. I really wish you every success, Gary you will smash it 😁
Very heartfelt and honest of you Gary especially as it's none of our business really. I enjoy listening to you both and will continue to do so. All the very best. ⚒️⚒️
Best of luck with your channel Gary, blood is thicker than water wish you all the best and will watch both of you. I love Nicks heated rants and I love your calm even reasoned thoughts.
Best of luck Gary with the solo project, Always a pleasure watching the shows and won't be missing any of yours either. You and Nick along with everyone else have created a masterpiece in C&B. Both of yous should be proud of yourselves and all the other contributers! 👌🤝and your mum and dad would be proud of you and Nick also! ❤. All the best mate ⚒
I love Claret and Booze. You were a huge part of the reason why. So I have subscribed and will continue to follow everything you do my friend 😁 Now go and smash it !!! 👍
Wish you all the best Gary and success with your new show. Have always enjoyed your content so i am grateful that I have now another show to follow. As a very old ex Bow boy I will look forward to following your show with great interest. All the best me old cocker.
No it will be different, but it'll still be great. The show must go on, nothing stays the same forever. Appreciate the sentiment though Al, I really do.
All the best fella. We could all see that was a tough one for you. Don't let any social media BS come between family. Will look out for your new show. COYIs
Big up respect Gary, hope you both can sort out your differences real soon, but in the meantime will continue to follow both of you guys - really like the content and will contionue to watch and support you both COYI ⚒
Ego’s are a terrible thing when they rule the heart. For the life of me I don’t understand why you can’t do exactly what you’re proposing to do but making it a feature of the C&B channel. This should have been an easy move for you and Nick but it needs some standing down and a bit of love and understanding. Shame there’s drama but good luck to you both, I will follow as always! Good season coming, init!
Gary your a legend mate your even better in person and always will be missed on circle and c and b I can’t wait see your new content always brilliant watch Hope your there on the next meet up brother
Wish you the best of luck Gary. I thought it was a good video, nothing wrong with showing emotion, we are all human. Looking forward to your future shows.
I have been following both Nick and yourself since the beginning of Claret and Booze and still will be in the future. Keep up the great work Gary, looking forward to your new shows.
Ahhhhh mate proper feel for you. Can see it hurts, you were both good for each other on C&B but friends/family/business often don't mix. I've watched C&B since the start and its my fave channel mainly cos of the honesty, you both and others bring different things. It's a shame you both didn't leave it a couple of weeks for the dust to settle, either way will watch and subscribe to both channels + wish you all the best mate. Chin up mate ❤ & COYI x
All the best my friend… I’m gonna miss you on a Sunday night… I’ve never laughed so much in years listening to you guys match analysis 😂… I was almost sad to see Moyes go but thank you for everything… I’ve subscribed to your Channel but we’re the same age Gary and I know where you are coming from my hammer brother ⚒️… as for the tears don’t worry.. I never cried for 30 years but when I did it was so nice to feel something again. I felt alive ❤
You should of took yourself of somewhere nice,had a break,unwind,come back stronger,and maybe you will start to enjoy it again,and like I said thanks for the honesty,refreshing in this day and age,ive subscribed and liked,will be watching you,cmon you IRONS ⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️
Bloody hell, that was a proper tough watch. Putting yourself out there is *hard* and such emotional honesty is genuinely inspiring. I know exactly where you're coming from when a thing you love just becomes just too much - and it is never for just one reason. Life priorities can change, people can be twats, grief can come into it. I thought the two vids you did with the lawyer about Paqueta were fantastic. I reckon you could put something by getting people who *genuinely* know that they are talking about (rather than just having an opinion) would make for a great football channel, not just a West Ham one. How do agents really go about their work? What do contract terms really mean? How the fuck do sponsor get chosen and how damaging are betting companies? Could we *reallY get a new stadium? etc etc. Best wishes, and keep it fun
Thanks Grumpy, it was a tough make as well! 🙂Yes I'm definitely looking to do some more well researched stuff that are perhaps a bit deeper than the normal stuff. And yes there's definitely a good chance you could see John again.
Gary thanks for all your effort and insight throughout the years, loved watching you and the boys. Well done for being brave and keep doing what you're doing love! ⚒️
You've got my support Gary, I always enjoyed your input on Claret and Booze and will watch this channel as I will continue watching that one as well. Best wishes mate and look forward to the content COYI
Well done for getting through that mate, must’ve been very tough. Can’t wait to start watching your videos aswell and the main thing is you look after yourself 💪🏼
Really enjoy the content that you fellas put together, whether that’s together or separately. A shame for us avid watchers as you obviously/naturally have great chemistry which is just brilliant to watch and listen to, but there’s more to life than work/RU-vid and if it’s better for you to do your own thing and that makes you happy/clear of mind then you’ve got to do what’s best for you and your own sanity. Keep up the good work, done at your own pace and keep your brother close in real life - my 3 boys bicker like mad but I’d be gutted if they grew up not watching out for each other. All the best and I’ll most certainly tune into the your revamped separate channel, aswell as the original. You are all great at what you do with your different styles and I think that’s what made the show in the first place. Stay positive mate, different directions at different stages in life - all good. COYI.
An emotional time for you mate and we could feel how much it’s affected you but just to let you know that you have the support you need to keep going. Good luck with the new channel.

This was a outstanding video Gary. I am sure every Hammer wishes you and the new channel the very best. Looking forward to seeing future videos on 'Claret & Booze Extra'... and also watching Mock and the gang on the original channel. Gary, Hopefully on some huge important West Ham matches it would be great if you are going to watch a match in a pub somewhere if you are not going to the stadium to watch the match love...definitely let us viewers know and I am sure a few of us would come over to the pub to meet you and I'm sure we would all get you a good beer or a pub meal. All the best.

'Mock' !!! Looool Bloody Autocorrect...That was meant to be 'Niick'.
Mickey always agrees with what ever nick says on that other channel it’s nice to get real opinions and you always told spoke ur mind I’ll continue to support both channels
You’re a really good guy Gary and you are a mate from C&B and soon to be C&B Extra. Still in debt to you guys on what you done - so more than happy to help you where I can. You know where i am. COYI
Hi Gary, fully understand your reasons & although you will be missed on C&B I'm looking forward to your own content. Always enjoyed your in-depth analysis of West Ham. Take care.
Best wishes Gary. That's the hardest video over. Be following both of you. New season, new manager, new channel. Plenty to look forward to. Your shows with the legal friend, was highly original and great viewing. It will all be good.
Well, that was a tough watch, Gary, but I totally understand. I'm not gonna lie. I will miss you on the other channel as I think your chemistry was infective. Your content on the other solo shows are more than enough to pull views and regulars in, so I am guessing your figures will also be very high once people know what's going on. Your reasons are valid and personal and should never have to explain too much to us minions,I just hope you and Nick are OK as you do seem close and bounce off each other well. Anyway good luck,I for one will watch both shows and wish you both all the best for the future. Stay strong buddy, here's to your future and a great season ahead. COYI ⚒️⚒️⚒️
I understand the points you've made having seen Nick's video yesterday and coming straight over here to subscribe and make sure I still see your views on what is going on at West Ham. Possibly because I am getting past it, I always enjoyed your shows a bit more than Nicks. Nothing wrong with Nick, before anyone thinks there are sides to take, I'm just a bit more on your wave length if you like. I'll be getting both channels, and others, because I love West Ham and want to know about our club. I wish the best for you both, and the channels, and look forward to seeing your shows as you go. Take care of yourself, or you can't take care of others.
Great video Gary ,I appreciate how hard that was to make .Thanks for all your efforts and good luck with the new channel i look forwardto watching..The most important thing is that you and Nick still get along ....
Love you Gazza❤ you always have interesting comments and I be watching your solo show as well as C&B until you’ve had enough… look forward in listening to your show m8 💪🏻
Blimey Gary - What a choker ! I didn’t see this coming mate. Family can dominate your life (being the eldest I know that only too well) but looks like you need time away to regroup. Things will get better I’m sure but we can still enjoy your content when you’re good and ready 👍
Thanks Glenn, it really can and many people have the same experiences. It's the one thing that can has the ability to draw you into arguments you otherwise wouldn't have. I wish it didn't! Thanks for your comment, Glenn
All the best, Gary. Heart on your sleeve, honest to the core, proper East End, what more do you need? Good luck, mate. Subscribed and looking forward to it ⚒️
Gal that was a hard watch mate, and completely understand where you’re coming. Love your content. Take it at your own pace and do it to have fun. No pressure. Look forward to the new content. Chin up! COYI
