sep 30th a special day for west ham this season..whys that you ask? well it is one of only 3 yes 3 games we will play at home that will be the traditional 3pm kick off before the turn of the year thats just crazy to me...its the price you pay for selling your "product" to the tv companies...younger fans its not a big deal but to me it just takes a bit from the whole saturday tradition for me...and how long before the overseas fixture becomes reality? 5 years 10? its coming mark my words it will happen because the premier leagues the most watched league in the world and money talks.

£27.1million bid for him this will please DITM as he is the kind of defensive midfield come playmaker he hopes we get....

just created a fantasy league on the official premier league site anyone interested heres the code to join

18 attacking midfielder from halmstadt bk...£3million they say so is this another for the development squad or is he the answer and bilic has pulled off a coup....not got a clue myself but i am pretty sure he will not be in the first team this season unless he is truly exceptional.

just seen the gooners beat chelski(shame eh!) by the new pen shootout rules have to say i liked the format of course you prefer to win the game in normal time but if not this was refreshing.

I was going to post this under "One egg, or two?" as that seemed appropriate, but then I looked at the posts and people are actually talking about eggs -- I thought it was a metaphor! So, I think we need one more egg, preferably a golden one, before we kick off against Manure. And looking at the finances I think we should be able to afford it. We've spent £40M or less on two players (Marco and Chico) and brought in two others for wages (Zab on free; Hart on loan). We cleared a lot of people off the wage bill, sold a few players, sent kids out on loan, and there's still the Payet excess after last season. I feel we still need more depth and more attack and it would be nice to see one or even two players still come in. It hurt to see Iheanacho off to Leicester -- we could have brought him in as well and then we'd be looking pretty good. What do you think?

seems so long ago now that we overlook the fact that he as our big summer signing last year. most people think he's not up to it, the 20 mill paid was too much. perhaps it was. although looking at how the market is nowadays, you can argue thats the price of a prem league player these days. for me i believe in Ayew. I think he is a quality player. i think he was a good signing. I'm open to debate of course and everyone's opinion is welcome. my view is that last season he moved to a new club but then got injured immediately on his debut. it wasnt just a knock either, he was out a good while. then he went off to ANC and looked half injured there. he still managed a good few goals though during the second half of the season. its my view that he has the energy and eye for goal that will prove useful for us this season. i see him playing behind hernandez in the three (lanzini, arnautovic and him) while antonio is out. when antonio is back then its a case of playing him when we need to rest others or replace them i guess. either way, i can see him being an asset even if coming off the bench.

Sakho disruptive influence? moody git? self important prick? or none of those just a player frustrated ever since his disastrous african nations and that back injury which was compounded by his countries medical team...all reports now say he is looking strong and raring to go so would you be tempted to give him a go or try and sell him? personally i would love to see him back and playing upfront his movement and pace scares defenders and if hopefully his mindsets right we will have back a top striker which we need to go along with chicharito...of course nobody here can see slav playing 2 up top but i wish he would because the movement of both these players would be to much for a lot of teams to cope with...

Just read that Chelsea are interested in signing Danny Drinkwater from Leicester? Has the world gone completely mad ??? He was bloody awful last season and was lucky to be part of a Team with a strong winning mentality where all else was failing around them the year before. Hilarious if true and a sign of the desperate times?
