Not sure what's gone on but what a refreshing change to hear a manager (our manager) give a totally honest opinion on the Amalfitano saga. Read part of his interview in the Daily Snail ( a rag I read whilst in the takeaway, not a rag I'd buy myself unless I needed toilet paper urgently). Bilic will have highs and lows at this club, we are West Ham of course, but I am impressed by his boldness ,re.Oxford, his frankness and honesty, see above post, and his belligerence, re.squad put out in last Europa game...I wonder if at long last the fans will sing the claret and blue army song with our managers name in it again....who was the last one to get that accolade?

So, Obiang seems to be fit. Poyet I thought had an excellent pre-season and Oxford made that astonishing debut against L'Arse. Assuming we play the same formation against Leicester, which of the three do you think Bilic should go for?

If it was up to me, I would probably start off with Obiang for the first hour or so, gentle introduction into the Premier League as it were and then replace him, probably with Poyet, I think he deserves some game time after his Europa League stint.

Oxford I would probably save for another day, let the hype settle down a bit.

Then again, there is always Nolan!

Firstly apologies to anyone called Maurice. No slur intended...Anyway as I have mentioned in another thread I thought Zarate had a particularly nice haircut on Sunday. Which leads me to ask as the Premier League is under way again. We can all marvel at the array of haircuts on offer. Personally I sport a bit of a quiff, so it's nice to see all the side parting Martins out there. (Apologies to anyone called Martin, again no slur intended). However, my thoughts go out to dear old Marouane Chamakh no further explanation needed......

Hey guys I need some advice.
After 5 years on the waiting list I finally have a disabled season ticket for this year.
It`s a wheelchair based one for myself and a carer (my son-in-law). However since getting the ticket I`ve found out that I`ve got cancer (again) & am going to be in & out of hospital for the next 4 months having the dreaded Chemotherapy & obviously I won`t be able to go to all the games I had planned to.
Anyone know what is the ruling on letting someone else use my ticket on the days I`m unable to?. I`m not really interested in the ticket trader option as my daughter is an armchair fan who would jump at the chance of going.
I`ve read that able bodied seats are offered out to friends & family with no problem but my daughter appearing in a wheelchair space without a wheelchair would be obvious that she`s not disabled.
My seat/space is right up in the upper corner where it is just an area with no markings for each wheelchair unlike pitch side where carer has designated seat directly behind the wheelchair.
I suggested that she go to the games using my wheelchair but she is 100% against that idea on moral & ethical grounds, which I admire her for.
Any help, suggestions or ideas would be gratefully received.

Not sure if anyone has created a Fantasy Footy league yet, so I have!

If there is an existing one, please let me know.

Cool?

Just read that Sakho was arrested a few days prior to the Arsenal game for assault on his girlfriend. Now that is worrying if his court appearance in September results in prosecution. Would be a big blow but not condoning anything if true. Hence major need for a striker.

In the spirit of technological advancement, is there a way of restoring the search function on ones own posts. One used to be able to go into their account and see all those posts they had created themselves? That way your not rude if someone responds and you cannot see it.
Similarly, in the active forum, there used to be a update number next to it to say how many people had commented on that post since you last logged in, that way if someone has responded to your post you could reply.
Obviously its a "nice to have" but I don't get the opportunity to log in as much these days and it would make browsing faster and more polite to those who have responded.
Now, I must go, my trimmer is charged and my testicles are long overdue a short back and sides.

Blimey it is being reported that Joey Barton is having a medical with us tomorrow. What do people reckon on this. I gather he is free agent. He does some steel but his discipline record is not . Is he a fit for us?

Hope to never hear that stupid 'football pundit' cliche ever again.
0-2 at the Emirates.
Why wouldn't I wish for that.
I predicted 0-1 at HT and 1-3 full time on WHTID site. So glad we kept a clean sheet.
Adrian was immense.
I tweeted that Chelski gave L'arse a dud Cech and it didn't go viral or wasn't copied and pasted by claret & hugh. For that I'm gutted...
May the ghost of Sam Allardyce be well and truly buried.
Just got to get shot of some of his remaining deadwood and we'll be playing the right end of Europe next season.
Thanks Slaven and your awesome coaching staff. Thanks for giving a 16 yr old a debut first game of the season at the EPL favourites home ground. He'll never forget that.
Thanks for sticking with Zarate, he will come good and learn not to take that one touch too many.
Thanks for not subbing The Ox with Maiga but please don't do the Nolan trick again.
Thanks for trying out "Superman lookalike' Tomka at RB and not JOB. Great move.
Thants enough for now, I'm sure there are many more things our Org friends can thank you for.
TBH I'd also like to thank the two Dave's for bringing you in. They cop a lot of flack, but I for one appreciate all they have done, and are doing for West Ham.
Roll on the top of the table clash with Leicester City...
Who'd have thunked it
