Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

Pointing is an unnatural position? Having your arms flat to your side is natural? Having your arm stretched out to the right is when defending a potential cross. I am as annoyed about the result as anyone, but honestly apart from the Kudos goal, I thought all the decisions were correct (apart from ...

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

He smashed the ball at Emerson from a yard away. Impossible to get your arm out of the way. Never intentional nor was his arm in an unnatural position. It was in an unnatural position because he was pointing to a spot to his right with his arm outstretched. We got away with that. Most defenders ens...

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

I have just watched the highlights again on Sky (website video) and slowed it down. The first handball decision was harsh on Antonio, but letter of the law. The Kudos one I don't get. I think probably Emersons was handball which we got away with, Soucek deliberately moves the ball with his arm towar...

Re: What are you playing right now?

Elder Scrolls Online on PC

Found this to be really good. Regular updates, good gameplay and well levelled.

There is an emphasis on premium content, but not to the point of spoiling the game

Re: Need a new car

Bris,, with the greatest respect Portishead to Plymouth and back isn't really a long trip. I day trip to my younger daughter in Plymouth every month from North of Worcester and that's one of my shorter journeys. However,I pay a great deal more for fuel,I I grant you, but I ain't got thousands to sp...

Re: Need a new car

I have a Peugeot E2008 and have no problem driving on long trips I drive to Plymouth regularly due to family living there and it's easy. I drive to Buckfastleigh which has around 14 chargers then after 20 mins I am back to 80% and on to Plymouth. Same on the way back Ironically Portishead where I li...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

My problem with last night is why was Zouma starting? As far as I know Aguerd isn't injured. For me he's becoming a liability. His lack of pace and ability to react is costing us. I get that Moyes made him captain, but for what you gain in attacking/defending arial ability, is negated by his lack of...

Re: Premier League sack race

There's almost an acceptance that the league is now two divisions. There;s the top twelve and the bottom 8. The gulf in these two leagues in terms of haves and have nots is now so stark, that only a manager doing an exceptionally bad or exceptionally good job will transition their team from one to t...

Re: West Ham United v Brentford : match thread

Tonight is when we buck the trend

Brentford are out of form and on a slide with big games to come.

I think we will win comfortably.

3-1 to us.

Antonio, JWP, Zouma

They will score late on

We lost Declan Rice when we had just won a trophy.

Money talks. When Man City, Liverpool or Arsenal come calling, players will jump ship

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I don’t think that is unreasonable for the size of club we are, but how often do we perform to that level? Last time we had three top half finishes in a row was the 1990s. Three years back to back European football? Not sure we have before, have we? We’ve had good seasons playing a much better styl...

Many other posters have argued that the two don't need to be mutually exclusive.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I'm finding all this anti DM stuff difficult to understand. We've been absolute rubbish for decades the only difference now is that DM can find wins from terrible performances. We are going to get relegated under another manager. What is going on your heads??? The anti David Moyes abuse is ridiculo...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

The question has been asked time and again what would be acceptable with Moyes’ style of football so my question is the same for those who (as they are entitled to) don’t like that style. What would be acceptable if we played easier on the eye football? What would you be willing to accept in terms ...
