England are competing with Germany for the extra CL place, so Spurs are relying on West Ham to overcome Leverkusen, and Arsenal to knock out Bayern. :crylol:

Yeah. Bringing those subs on at 60 mins would have secured us a handsome win, for sure.

West Ham 1-1 Tottenham Far too easy again. Jarrod Bowen' s corner is ****ed into the far corner by Kurt Zouma, who was allowed to run across a group of players and stand unmarked in the centre of the six-yard area.

Newcastle 4-3 West Ham Having gone close with a dipping effort while Newcastle were rearranging their defence, Michail Antonio scores the equaliser.

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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...
