It's a funny old game. The width of an upright the other way last week, and Piquionne would probably have been the match-winner.

Piquionne was hopeless last week.
Agreed check my predicted line up although I included Cole I knew he wouldn't start BFS would have been told by Sully not to they are touting him around to other clubs.

Cole will never bring wingers into a game, they should both be playing but Piq is a better all round footballer.

Anyone know of an unlikely place to stream this, or is it on public radio somewhere?

And we'd have all been lauding him as the greatest striker to ever don the claret and blue! Ok... maybe not that far, but I wonder if our views would have changed much. As I have said before - to me he's looked lazy and disinterested so I hope that changes.

Personally, I'd have liked to see Cole for Piquionne and Stanislas for Parker (and swapping positions with Collison)

I struggle to see what Piquionne brings to the team tbh

Cole is stronger and has better hold up play. Capable of moments of brilliance but appears to lack confidence (unsurprising when playing in such a weak team with no direction last season). Cole has also played at International level fairly recently.

Only thing I will say...it is fairly nice to have some consistency in the selection...!

The long and short of it, is that Cole scores more goals then Piq.

Tis a fact.

It's true...

Cole score more.
Cole steams more.
Cole gets more overchuffed.

Piquionne's England career stats: 20 from 86 (1 in every 4.3 games)

Cole's West Ham stats: 42 from 165 (1 in every 3.9 games)

So, it is indeed a fact, but there isn't much in it!

As they say in baseball....we need to hit one out of the park today! I'd like to see 5-1. Really give the boys a lift as I'm sure they're all a bit jittery now after last weeks result.

I'd take a 1-0 win to be honest.

But why look at there stats at other clubs?

There West Ham ones show both in a similar light but I still prefer Cole
