Last nights performance was pretty abysmal from what I saw of it. It looked very much like where we left off from last year. The good thing I hope is that Bilic now realizes how bad some of the players are and we will ship them out soon. Hopefully he will have some notion who he wants to play regularly and what system he can utilize although he didn't change much last night. So not a very auspicious start to far. We need a winger and another striker.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................ANOTHER UNLUCKY PLAYER!!!!!

Barcelona believe he is too green to promote to the 'A' team, and are prepared to put him out on loan with an option to buy.

It's said that Betis are interested, but an article I have seen in Spanish says that the Real Betis coach has ruled out getting him. Top TOP prospect if Bilic could get him!!!

Having seen the photos of the team at the airport in Malta, it worries me that we are persisting with virtually the same team that struggled to break down Birkirkara in the first leg. It looks like Slavan Bilic is staying with the same team (less Sakho) meaning we will be slow in midfield again (Nolan and Noble) and slow to go forward with Miaga up front and then presumably Lee later on.
I can understand him wanting to protect and prepare his first team for the season ahead but a 1-0 lead away from home and having seen West Ham slip so many times I for one am not confident that we are going to remain in the Europa Cup with fielding so many players who lets face it, wont see much first team action this coming season.
I just hope a week later they are fitter and we at least win!!! Thoughts? am I the only one not that confident?

The Argentinian attacking midfielder 'Manuel Lanzini' has apparently signed on loan for a year from Al Jazira. How many more will be coming and who do you think we will now sell?

Anyone going to this one? Payet and Sakho not eligible for Malta game, so good chance they will get another run out. Several ex West Ham youngsters, including George Moncur in the U's squad.

hi every one wonder if you are in agreement with me that Bobby Moore should be on the new 20 pound note i think votes have to be in today !

Blimey, Daily Telegraph is saying Carroll won't be ready until Mid-October. We need to get someone else in surely now if true. Looks like Payet is a good find from today's game.

So the draw for the next round is out. Still a long way to go but should we play Astra in Romania would anyone of you guys go on a tour and watch the game live. As some of you know I live in Bulgaria and I'm holding my breath for us to play Astra. Should we play them how on earth would I receive my ticket back in Bulgaria if they're released on General Sale 4 days before actual game?

Long may it last.
