If he wants to go we should insist he put in a transfer request waiving any right to a loyalty bonus, get £40m+ for him and go get someone that wants to be here. We seem to have a great spirit around the club at the moment, we don’t want anything or anyone upsetting that.

I was a bit worried playing Palace straight after their shocking midweek performance and subsequent rollicking from Hodgson. It usually results in a reaction (which to a degree I think Palace gave) and with our injuries, particularly Arnie being out, I was half expecting us to lose and would have be...

I like Perez and was delighted with his brace midweek however if I'm a centre half and I'm looking at who I'm facing today, I'd much rather face Chicha and Perez than Chicha and Carroll. Even a semi fit Carroll gives us something different and something neither Chicha or Perez can offer.

I think the Uniteds of Manchester will edge us out today. This mini fued will give them them the edge I fear and they will want to come out fighting and make a point. They will use it to their advantage. I’m going 1-2 to them. I’d have been more confident if there hadn’t been all this Pogba / Mourih...

8-0 up, five minutes to go. I’m starting to fancy us for a draw here

Had a feeling we’d win this one, we were due having the rub of the green and it certainly planned out that way. Was pleased with that performance we have some exciting players and always look like we can do something although we do look very fragile at the back. On to Chelsea and hopefully another g...

I don't know how, I don't know why, I have no idea of the score but by golly we are going to win this game, mark my words! COYI!!!

You could buy the best 11 players in the World, put them in a West Ham shirt and it would still be the same story, this sort of sh** is in our DNA.

This was the inevitable I feared. Just hope it doesn’t lead to the usual collapse thereafter.

Real shame as we had numerous chances but by the same token you have to say it’s typical West Ham!

Arnie is great, our best player for sure but you can see why he is just that tier below the top, top players. Has all the attributes but sometimes his decision making let’s him down. Shoots when can pass for someone else to have a much easier chance like in the first half and again there slashing wi...

Win, lose or draw, if we show the same commitment and endeavour in the second half as we did the first I’ll be happy. Have this down as a bonus game so fully expecting the inevitable in the second half, just hoping we make a game of it and don’t collapse.

That starting 11 would do well to finish mid table in the Championship. :lol: To be fair it’s such a strange league, anyone outside the top 6 or 7 would find it hard in that league, so many variables. On paper however, our starting line up would be one of if not the strongest team in the division. ...

This is all set up for Perez to be the hero, coming on and scoring a last minute consolation.

5-1

This is going to be a tough afternoon. We still don’t know our best 11, we are getting used to a new manager, a new way of playing and we are bedding in a number of new players. It’s all a recipe for a bad day at the office I fear. My only hope is that we keep it respectable and put up a show which ...

Poor result but only one way to go from here.

Will take a few games for everyone to get going but we need to shorten that learning curve sharpish!

That's the spirit

Contrary to what most others are saying, I think it's great that he's picked Snodgrass. £100m investment and he's seen enough in him to put him in the starting 11 shows he has shown something. Hope he has a blinder.

We will come storming back for this one.

Going 3-0 us

Get a good manager in they said. Give him money to spend they said. Let him decide who he signs they said.

Should have left it to Sully he’d have bought us a defensive midfielder :lol:
