Just a week to go boys before the rubbish internatinoals are over soooo i'd thought i would put this little topic up.

who are the two greatest male singers/showmen of all time? young i maybe but i think you would be hard pushed to beat Freddie Mercury and Meatloaf.

I am sure Nev you will have your thoughts on this topic but i just think for vocal ability and sheer presence on stage neither can be beaten sadly i never got to see either of these two artists live but through watching film etc of them both in action i have yet to see another artist who comes close to what they did true god given talent and thankfully generations to come who have yet to discover them have a treat instore.

So any other contenders boys?

Fab/Coufal/Cresswell/Ogbonna/Dawson/Antonio All north of 30yrs old all Starters for Moyes and a lot of promising youth players leaving or thinking of leaving as he refuses to use them even when we are up against poor opposition...Silkborg/Steau for instance Kidderminster in the cup last season.....Declan rumoured now to of refused £200 thousand a week so what is the club going to do??the big spend of this summer well recoup a lot of that from Rices sale but where is the forward thinking Alese sold to Sunderland why? he could of learnt a lot from Oggy/Dawson and been a good fit on the bench....Perkins again a place on the bench integrate these kind of players into the first team squad let them get a feeling they apply themselves they will get a chance but again no.....Coventry anyone really expect to see anything of him other than 5 min cameo as a sub....Downes the same how long before they feel FFS why am i here i am never going to be given a chance....no i guess our manager is happy to have two g/k on the bench as he clearly does not trust or believe in youth.

Of course a lot of younger players do not cut it but to never be given a chance is poor management and when i say chance i dont mean as a 5 minute sub then judged on that no give them five six even seven games if they struggle then they should listen and understand that they need more u23football to keep building on there footballing ability but to just be on a bench not played etc has to be soul destroying for a young footballer specially at West Ham,,,The Academy of football dont make me laugh.

“Morning sports fans, glad you all could make it this morning. As you know I’ve called this meeting to find a new Jock. Good morning, Sir Trev as an honouree Ambassador I felt you should be here to,” said Dave.

“Cheers Dave” said Sir Trev. “Ere Dave, you couldn’t put your hands on another one of them cashmere overcoats could yer”? This ones 15 years old, I wear it everywhere and it’s knackered”. “I have a certain image to keep up you know”. “Calm yourself Trev”, said Dave, “I’ll have a word with Boris my Russian Tailor, he makes all my coats n hats that make me look like the mad monk”. “What Putin”? Mumbled Sir Trev whilst maintaining his trademark gritted teeth smile. “Whatever Trevor,” said Dave.

Goldie almost chokes on his corn flakes. “Haha good one Dave,” said Goldie. “Heh Trev, I bet no one's ever actually said that to you before have they”? “Course not Goldie and do you really have to slurp those things in here? It’s a board meeting for Christ sake”. “Stone me,” said Goldie”. “Did you just take our lords name in vain”? “Ere Dave, he never got booked on the pitch but he’s showing his true colours now”.

“Buttplugs” blurts out Lady B loudly whilst staring into her iPad. “That’s it Buttplugs she says looking enormously pleased with herself. This time Goldie spits out all his corn flakes over the table. “Are you on glue Lady B”, he asks with a puzzled expression. “No Goldie buttplugs, I’ve just had a eureka moment to push up revenue!”. Dave gives Trev a nudge, “push up something he remarks”.” There's no need for that Dave”, says Lady B. “That new boy, the Italian one who looks like somebody’s drawn all over him, very handsome” says Lady B getting a hot flush. “Jan Loooka” says Trev “that’s his name Lady B, Jan Loooka”

“Thank you, Trev, I’m well aware what he’s called. Dave pipes up “the Italian one, the French one, ze German one, the Checkle brothers, the Pole”. It’s like the bloody league of nations downstairs”. I went in that dressing room the other day and I couldn’t understand a bloody word that was said”. “An another thing if big Mick doesn’t stop doing the elephant trick with that bloody great Hampton of his I swear I’ll sell him”.

“Wait a minute Dave” says Goldie, “I thought we were here to talk about a replacement for Yoda”. “We are, but I want to hear what Lady B has got to say after all money is money” says Dave rubbing his hands together at the prospect. “Thank you, Dave,” says Lady B. “As I was saying, “we’ll have that Italian boys face in club colours mounted on our premium buttplug range. That way male and females alike can enjoy it”

“I like it Lady B, a sort of come and sit on Jan Loookas face and wriggle” Blurts out Trev hardly containing himself at being non-PC for once in his life. “Really Sir Trev I didn’t expect that” quipped Lady B.

“Enough already” says Goldie.

“I think we should go for a British manager this time” says Dave.

“Jock is British says Goldie”. “Is he”? Says Dave. “Cant understand a bloody thing he says either”.

“What about Rogers at Leicester”? Say’s Sir Trev

“Yes, that’s it” says Dave, Paddy as the new Jock he’ll fit right in”

“Dave it's not 1975 anymore, you can't use terms like that these days. It’s racist” said Sir Trev looking deadly serious.

“Bollocks” said Dave, “I was watching the Love Thy Neighbour box set last night with Mrs Dave, she loved it and wanted to watch the best of It aint half hot Mum. But I was knackered and knew I’d have to be in here at the crack of sparrow's fart”!

“What about Thomas Tinkle? Said Lady B

“Ze German”, said Dave alarmed at the thought. “Over my dead body” he added.

“He did lose the dressing room in Paris and again up West,” said Goldie

“What, he left them on the bus, don’t mention the war “said Dave chuckling to himself.

Looks like your humour is stuck in 1975 too, said Sir Trev

“Alright what’s the chances of getting that wop over from the Spud u Likes”? Said Dave

Dave you're going too far now I think it’s time for your medication” said Lady B

“Time for a break”, said Goldie

So at what point do we Question Moyes? in another 25?

All players no matter how good they are hit a bad patch of form and struggle and for us Bowen is that player right now and our Manager needs to be brave and put the lad on the bench for todays game.This would take the pressure he is undoubtedly putting himself under and give him a chance to think about his game and what he needs to do to recapture that form.

Yesterday Son started on the bench for Spurs as he was in a similar rut to Bowen no form lacking confidence and needed if not a kick up the backside but a reminder whoever you are you are not beyond being taken from the side and benched.

Start Antonio wide right Put Scamacca upfront and have Cornet on the left and let us see what happens.

According to Moyes Scamacca will have lots to offer and is still learning how to play with his team mates and they him its a bedding in process and it takes time specially for a striker coming from a different league etc mmmm one word for you Moyes,Haaland! now whilst i am not saying Scamacca is as good as Haaland you dont get to be Italy number 9 by chance.So rather than say he needs time an all that why not go the other tact and say we got you in to score goals i believe in you go out there and show us what you do best.

Talk like that will boost a players confidence and want to show that the manager was right to have faith in you.I do feel like many that Moyes is way to cautious on many fronts and as ever sticks to his favourites regardless of form.

Peterboro Peterboro Ivan Toney was at Peterboro in league 1 and i was banging on about getting him in but no he's not good enough they said and then in championship banging in goals nooo not good enough then we were offered him for £6/7 million nooo we are looking at better players...Brentford roll up oh yes he is a very very good player buy him and now he is in the England squad FFS i do despair at times at what scouts and managers see that we dont when it was blatantly obvious to me that Toney was going to be a big hit.....Cant wait for the stories to come out oh yeah we looked at him but at the time had a two footed donkey who couldn't hit a barn door from two yards out and we decided to stick with him.

The great Brian Clough once told Gary Birtles i pay you to score Bloody goals not defend get in the middle and stay there......Moyes appears to like leaving the middle of the box empty and his striker to play wide or deep Ants does it and now i notice Scamacca is doing it.....the one time he was in the right position he scored a cracker but mostly he was drifting wide...Football is not complicated unless you make it so.....the width of the penalty area is for me the widest a striker should go.....we have players who give us width naturally but what is the point of crossing into an empty box.....you watch this weekend be it Ants or Scamacca when we get the ball wide nobody will be in the middle for the cross because either one will be the bloody wide player.....this cannot be happening by accident because it happens every game....and it annoys me a helllluva lot!
