Re: Assists: 2023/24

West Ham 1-1 Aston Villa Michail Antonio had put the Hammers in front after scoring his first Premier League goal since August. The Jamaica international executed a superb diving header, getting on the end of Vladimir Coufal 's pinpoint delivery in the 29th minute. Key Contributions: Paquetá, Souce...

Re: The kids are all right

Because like "the west ham way", it's self proclaimed. We had a golden generation in the late 90s, then had to wait until Rice for the next one. Give it another decade or so and we should have someone else pop through. Conveniently ignoring someone that played the small matter of 550 game...

Re: Assists: 2023/24

West Ham 5-0 Freiburg It's all square in the tie. Aaron Cresswell swings in another corner and it's ****ed on by Tomas Soucek 's head at the near post. At the back post it reaches Lucas Paqueta, who slides the ball into an empty net. Jarrod Bowen picks a good time to get his first European goal of ...

West Ham 2-2 Burnley Midfielder Lucas Paqueta showed the desire which had been previously missing to press Burnley high, winning back possession to go clean through and calmly stroke past Clarets keeper James Trafford. [unassisted] As the board showed eight minutes added time, this time Ings did br...

Re: Financial fair play ?

I see they are now saying that Leicester are likely to fall foul of the regulations at the same that they are returned to the top flight. This is getting a bit silly for me now. Arguably possible for 25% of next year's Premier League having question marks over them (Everton, Forest, Chelsea, Man Ci...

Re: SC Freiburg -v- West Ham - EL16 match thread - 07.03.24

Could have gone either way, but looks to me as if Soucek gets a foot to the ball and it is ball to hand. You are correct in your assessment, however you can’t Schmeichel star-jump into the way of the ball to prevent it getting into your box and then plead ball to hand. Unnatural position supersedes...

Re: Financial fair play ?

I see Villa have just announced huge losses of £119.6m for last season. FFP allows £105m over three years. 20/21 - 21/22 - £300k profit 22/23 - £119.6m loss 23/24 - Basically, they need to show a profit of £14.3m this season. Given that they have a net spend of £67.5m, that seems unlikely. So assumi...

Re: The kids are all right

Strange loan move. Marshall had several offers to go out on loan to either League One or Two and surely would have played regular football there. Instead he went to a Championship side that is having a promotion-push. Not for me. A solid reality check of the levels he needs to hit just to get into ...

Re: Assists: 2023/24

Everton 1-3 West Ham Kurt Zouma brought the visitors level with a thumping header from a James Ward-Prowse corner. Tomas Soucek saved his finest contribution for the end. Taking Mohammed Kudus’ s cross down on his chest, Soucek curled a glorious half volley into Jordan Pickford’s far corner with th...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Atmosphere = would be no way near as bad as it is now, not even remotely close, if we were in a proper football stadium that retained noise. We would’ve also been able to sing a much more diverse range of songs rather than just ‘WH are massive’ on repeat. Did you never see us play at the Boleyn? :r...

Re: The kids are all right

The loaning of players seems poor from club. Marshall played a minute last night but in championship. Chester’s not played at all for Salford Kodua the odd minute. It’s not always about minutes played. Our top kids will learn little playing at U23 / U21 level and the occasional training session wit...

Re: Blue cards

So a player does a Willie Young, gets 10 minutes sin bin then rejoins the game with a relatively fresh pair of legs? Yeah great idea. RIP football as we knew it. I’m not sure where people are getting this idea from. How many players do we see feigning an injury to get ten minutes on the sidelines c...

Two blues or blue plus yellow will still apparently equal red (though blue plus yellow is technically green) so that remains the final deterrent.
If this is true, then it’s a great improvement. Hopefully diving classes as a cynical foul too.

Re: ✍ Welcome BACK to West Ham, Said Benrahma

So, we let him travel all the way over there and let him get acquainted with other people he might be working with. Surely we didn't do what is claimed and not lift a finger in terms of the paperwork? What would be the point of that? I don't get it. I’m assuming we left everything hanging until we ...
