No game this week, so something light.

Submitted by Red Neck Iron on

Yep no game this week, so something to discuss if you are bored. Watching TV this week and am beginning to wonder how some people manage to work on TV on a regular basis with no recognisable talent or personality in the field the occupy. Obvious football ones being match of the day pundits, but also people like Sue Perkins Mel gedroyed ( auto correct but can't be bothered to change) Miranda hart and that guy in Mrs browns boys. These are the dregs of British TV. Guaranteed to turn the TV off! Can anyone add to these? What Meeks it worse is these are off the bbc so it means we pay their wages through the TV licence! Ugh

Morgan in the Squad

Submitted by moore2come on

Morgan Amafitano has been included in Slav's first official Premier League squad. He provided some useful contributions last season as well as some more forgettable ones but considering he was an outcast for the first few games this season, what's the story here? Is he merely filler and cannot expect game time unless we go through injury armageddon and lose half the squad or is it a bit of bridge building and a slow reintroduction back into the frame?

Red card overturned but the club gets fined for 'failing to control it's players?'

Submitted by ANTKB on

At a full house and where you cannot enter the field of play, and after the referee has made a bad mistake? So how did we 'fail to control our players?', should Bilic run on the pitch to calm them down? Did any of our players threaten the referee? Take emotion, caused by the referee on this occasion, out of the game and what will you be left with? A bunch of cheats diving around getting fellow professionals sent off and getting away with it, Danny Ings and co! Disgraceful charge from the FA and no substance to such a charge in my book, your thoughts???

A match made in heaven

So Adebayor and Levy fail to reach agreement to end the Togo forward's contract. Apparently Adebayor wanted his final year paid up in full -- 5 million quid freebie in effect -- and Levy wasn't having it! So now Tottenham have to pay 100k a week for a player their manager has no intention of playing. Allegedly Adebayor was desperate to come here and play football, but not desperate enough to lose a red cent to bring that about. Personally I'm glad we haven't signed the bloke, he might have scored a few goals in his first few weeks, but his record shows he always then goes cold, and at what cost to team morale?

They are a fine pair, and I hope they have many more happy years together!!!

What a transfer season

Submitted by albyforeverirons. on

The two David's and SB have bought in 13 players and according to one source with the 5mill from Downing at an expenditure of just over 20mill. Nearly all of these players are first teamers with experience in the big leagues so the battle for first team places is going to be exciting to watch. With the eight or so players we have from last seasons window it shows the David's are really planning for the future and I for one am very excited. Being in Australia it's hard not to be jealous of all you supporters over there being able to go to the games especially this season as we draw closer to leaving our home at Upton Park but the move next season shows our intent to establish West Ham United as a force in the Premier league and that's fantastic for us supporters. I won't be able to get to any games this season but I have already started planning my holidays to come over for the first game at the Olympic stadium. Can't wait.
As a matter of interest I would like to know which of the new players excites the most , for me the ones that have played against Liverpool where fantastic but the one that impressed me the most was Lanzini, he never stopped running and his goal was a great way to show that he is here to play.Thoughts please .

Options at last, happy for Bilic

Firstly I'm not going to arse lick the owners, they've eventually backed the manager today although why that couldn't have happened 2 months ago only they know, personally I think business needs to be done early so that pre season is a time for bedding in, hopefully they'll hit the ground running. More importantly we've made some decent signings that have at last given us some options and some much needed width in the squad....you could say a squad big enough for a European campaign but we won't talk about that.
Just wondering who you all think will be the strongest starting 11 from this squad we've built, I think midfield is going to be interesting, plenty of competition there now so whoever gets the shirt is going to have to play well to keep it, far different from the competition we've had in recent years, so what's your best line up?

Christmas Come Early!!

What a window, is this our best ever, better even than the Tevez / Mascherano one?

Able to challenge the first teamers we have Randolph, Ogbonna, Jenkinson, Payet, Lanzini, Obiang, Moses, Antonio and Song.

On top of that some decent squad players like Hendrie and Samuelson.

And don't forget, Bilic in, with whatever you may think about Allardyce, as a set of fans, we are massively behind in a way that we never were with Big Sam.

Hats off to the board... unless anyone thinks it was panic buying after the last two results and recent injuries?
