Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

I genuinely believe that if the seats weren't white it wouldn't be so much of an issue. I also firmly believe the seats not being claret and blue mask the fact that there is a team called West Ham United that play there. Until this is changed, it will always feel like an athletics stadium. It's one...

Thomas Tuchel won't be one of those coaches.

Re: UEFA Europa League 2023-24

I’m of the mindset that we should want the easiest opponent possible to try to win the thing, even if that’s unlikely with the standard of some of the teams this season. I still wouldn’t want Qarabag though, the potential embarrassment of going out to them isn’t worth it. Also imagine how toxic it ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Moyes will be gone in summer I've no doubt. Be amazed if he is sacked sooner.
I've also absolutely no doubt the replacement will be out of work at that point in time

It's how Sullivan operates. Minimal outlay.

Re: January transfer window

I decided to scour the Web for any gossip. And what a load of old tosh. One headline (so obscure it didn't even mention a players name), said we are set to sign a scary striker. What does that even mean. Some people are desperate to write something and I wish I hadn't wasted 1 minute of my life cli...

Deccy repaying some of that huge fee. No one is really talking about the fee. Shows how well he is playing tbh. Few idiot pundits will tell you hes "gone up another level, but the truth of the matter is he is playing exactly like he has done over the last couplel of years but at a much higher ...

Re: January transfer window

Even with new owners -> ZERO chance to get Xabi Alonso. Leverkusen got him under a new contract until 2026 knowing that he's primed for the big stage. Tactical clever manager, an absolute team-player when it's comes about working with his staff (not all are spanish speakers! - half of them were at ...

But hey, like I said, let’s judge his decision to move to Arsenal in May.
I would judge it at the end of he's Arsenal career, not after 1 season

Re: Saudi Arabia

A lot of attention quite rightly on Saudi right now, but with Everton this morning reportedly about to be taken over by 777 investments , we now have a situation where half of the Premier League is now US-owned. Going to be interesting to see where the English game will be in the decades to come. O...
