so I half jokingly mentioned on another post that our bid for Tarkowski was probably instalments over 20 years. well, turns out our 'bid' for Fofana was ...wait for it......4 mill up front and the rest in instalments! if there were any doubt left that our owners don't really want to sign anyone expensive, this is it. Leicester have stepped in and signed him no fuss.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Hope you are keeping well, distancing, keeping to the rule of 6 and hiding your mouth and noses.
What a strange time to be alive....
Almost as strange as this team of ours. Going from abject to wonderful in 2 weeks. In fairness, no change there really...
Talking of change though, what's the score for paid up ST holders that haven't been to games?
Is there a refund on a month by month basis? Was curious as to how they would manage this.
I decided to give the club the money up front. A bizzare part of my brain telling me to help the club out.
Anyhoo, any insight appreciated.
Now, time to go. With the staff furloughed the grounds are getting shabby and the scullery is abysmal.
Toodle pip.

I cant get my head around the metamorphosis in west ham ,they seem to have gone from a dull bunch of losers last year to a bright entertaining team that are fast becoming the club that no one wants to play ,so whats your views ?,i know its early and maybe it wont be possible to keep up this level of spectacular
football ,so whats the reason and how long will it last .
Is it :one or two outstanding players ,
A great management team ,
The no fans element,
new found determination on the part of the team ,
Increased energy levels ,
A desire to prove the media (who had us in the championship already) wrong ,
Finally found a formation that suits everybody ,
We finally have a striker that can cause havoc and get a shed load of goals ,
Could it be their finally enjoying life in the concrete fish bowl.
I for one cant figure it out ,i do know that every time i see Rice i am amazed at how he is turning into a worl class player ,and how Ant should have been playing striker all his life ,and at how Souchec and Bowen have slotted in so well and even Massu and his runs with the ball from wide deep position's are slometimes mesmerising ,that Cress maybe getting a second wind in a defence that a lot of people had writen off but in the last 2 games have shown a resiliency bordering on outstanding, its as if they love playing together ,they hate the middle of the week when theres no game .
If you look at teams with expensive players ,like for instance Wolves ,and look at our boys with no one coming in you have to think maybe ,just maybe the board were right to say enough ,we spent massively last season and where did it get us ?,fact is even if you bought in new players where would you play them ?.
You could see the pride in Ant and Bowens faces when they walked off together last night.
I like everyone dont know how long this will last but i know im going to enjoy it while it does .

5-4-1 yesterday. The back 3 were rock solid, each one seeming to know their task. the General was back and looking really solid. The wingbacks were freer to get forward more and Masuaku looks good because he doesnt have as much 1-1 responsibility was a wing back. I have to say he seems to have the best close ball control out of our entire squad. Several times he's able to 'ballerina' around the ball, twirl and emerge from a crowd with it. The four in midfield were excellent - working hard and the wide players Fornals and Bowen getting forward as much as possible. Still cant trust Fornals finishing though, how did he miss that one? Up front Antonio seems to love the battering ram role. Wolves back 3 couldn't deal with him.

I think Moyes needs to stick with this formation, in fact I insist upon it. The 4-2-3-1 should be binned. Im fed up of watching us get carved open in wide areas. Noble? well, I think most will agree his best place is the bench now, coming on later or for a change up, taking off soucek or rice when/if needed. he cant play in the 'hole' in that wretched 4-2-3-1 if you ask me.

We thought we'd seen it ALL with 'Fergie' but now there's a new Messiah at Old Trafford! Not only can the officials give TEN minutes 'injury time' , we now know that a penalty can be given AFTER the final whistle has been blown!!!
The MOTD panel were certainly their usual pro United selves.
What I want to know is when was it decided that VAR was in charge of how long the match lasts???
The ref blew the final whistle and THAT should have been THAT!!!
Disgraceful but not surprising.

Well yesterday I hear dear old Uncle Ben is having his rice and other products rebranded. Due to the politically correctness Police insisting on it.

Today more worrying Boogerscaravan Jnr who is in his 20's tells me Declan Rice has agreed personal terms with the Chelsea Rent Boys!!

Watch this space I guess????????????

Moyes, Diop and Cullen have coronavirus - all asynptomatic... Doctor took a bung from Brady, she wanted Moyes away from the team so she could influence the selling of Diop, who's been kept away from training and games to keep him injury free and Cullen who's been showing potential being lined up to do another Diangana? The truth is out there...

Don't let him near our box he can't defend we all know that yet put him up the pitch and suddenly you have a player who can put in a good cross and does not have a bad touch and can pick a pass..Against the gooners he was one of the best players on the park Saturday night just what do we do with him? he's up for sale yet not a sniff of a buyer..will Moyes keep him as an attacking option because as a defensive one he's a nightmare.....after his Spitting incident at Wigan i wanted this man gone....nothing worse than that but he has got his head down worked hard and not moaned about basically being a squad player so what should we do about this Enigma?

Just scored a beauty against Everton how do you feel now mr Gold mr Sullivan?
