A world without Breakfast TV and 24 hour "news" channels. It adds nothing positive and fuels all manner of negative mindsets.
A world where people weren't filming, photographing and recording everything. It triggers the vanity, narcissism and Stasi informant in too many people.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024
10 players to improve us requires a budget of £250m-£300m.
If the budget is about 50%-60% of that, so is the sensible level of recruitment, imo.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
"We are going for 20-23 year olds" "He'a an attacking manager, who wants to dominate possession and control the ball" It's cliche-tastic, isn't it? It reeks of herding without any thought of how X manager is going to be any different to the very many others that all spout the sam...

Re: West Ham Utd v Bayer Leverkusen: match thread (2nd leg)
I think the only chance we have is if we keep a clean sheet. I’m not sure we are capable of that. We've scored in almost all the games we've played against English Champions league clubs this year , and have bagged 2s or 3s in more than half the games :shocker: Kept a couple of clean sheets too.

He has been training since Friday, be interesting to see if he is training tomorrow based on this news. That 91st minute goal on Thursday was a proper kick in the nads. At 0-1, with Alvarez and Bowen to come on in the second half of the tie - something the manager would have known/suspected - the a...

I think we've been in it often enough now, and at an advanced level, for players to assume we're a 'european' side and it's possibly just an off year.hammer1975 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:22 pm Demand side perhaps Bubbs.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!
Not bringing in extra players in January will likely mean that we won't play in Europe again. There's no positive in that scenario. Not so sure about that. Smaller squad needed, easier workload with more preparation and recuperation time coupled with less travel. It arguably enables a smaller more ...

Everton really should have scored at least one by now. Plenty of decent crosses/chances.

On signings: We're likely going to see a complete change in signings. They're likely getting (much) younger but also more on the risky side. He obviously didn't give us names, but spoke about them in the majority being more in the 20 to 23yrs age bracket going forward. There are an increasingly lar...
