Re: UEFA Champions' League Final 2023

I have a big issue with English Clubs becoming the play things of Billionaire owners from abroad…especially Arabs and their human rights abuses. There’s something that doesn’t sit right with these people owning the Crown Jewels of English community History and the clubs borne out of that. I am behin...

Re: 🏆 ACF Fiorentina vs West Ham Utd: match thread (UEFA Europa Conference League Final)

What a day! I don’t get nervous usually, but today has been the exception.. also a day of reflection; my dad would be in his element today and my good mate Dave will have been there no matter what. Both Hammers in spirit…and it’s the spirit of West Ham fans as one mind that will roar our lads onto v...

There’s probably info about this somewhere already, what kit are our players wearing tonight?

Re: ⚽ Leicester City vs West Ham Utd: match thread

We have every incentive to want to turn these over and send them down. There is no doubt a threat of injury to key players; but that has been a threat the last few games. I think the on-field banter from Leicester players will be about our lads avoiding injury..the dark arts of psychology. They have...

Re: ACF Fiorentina

Like most finals, the time element seems to ebb away quickly - we have been notoriously slow starters against teams that come at us - there is a danger that in trying to sit back hoping for counter attacking opportunities whilst defending wave after wave of attacks against a very good team at that -...

Re: Potential Managers Thread

It’s looking increasingly likely Moyes will stay on as manager. With the likely departure of Rice, Lanzini, Scamacca and other squad players - he’s going to have another decent money pit to bring in good players. I like the Harvey Barnes rumour. especially if Leicester go down - Tielemanns and Maddi...

Re: ACF Fiorentina

I know absolutely nothing about them and are guided by what others have said so far about them. I know Batistuta played for them. Traditionally, Italian teams have always played with an open brand of attacking football, whilst having a strong defensive ethos. This game will be an epic one; a real ba...

Re: West Ham United v Leeds United: match thread

Last home game of a long campaign…the team should still be running on the Adrenalin of last night. Plenty of time to go on holiday when the job is done. No reason why these well looked after athletes shouldn’t be ready for this game. Allardyce will have targeted us as his must win game:.. let’s not ...

Re: AZ Alkmaar vs West Ham Utd: match thread

Seems Knollsy held the one closer to the middle of the stand and that giant Hodor guy held the closer one, with some help. Whoever the giant hodor is, what a man. I even saw a few people say he was just a random Dutch guy. But...he looks rather West Ham to me :rofl: You couldn’t make it up..and bot...

Re: ✍ Pablo Fornals

What a way to seal a place in a final..iconic goal from a fabulous player on his day. If his personal life is affecting him, what better to use that energy in such a positive manner. In 2 different games this campaign he has scored 2 of our 3 most brilliant goals. He is already an icon, now he is a ...

Played his part when he came on and did well to give them someone different to deal with. I’m still thinking how lucky he’s been landing in a Euro final with us 😆

It’s been mooted that there was 2 sets of stairs and Knollsy was at the top of the other one - can anyone confirm that?

Re: AZ Alkmaar vs West Ham Utd: match thread

We went through this same scenario 12 months ago; this time we have an advantage compared to then by going in effectively, 1-0 up. We are rested, focused and Moyes will have had them drilled. Like any one off game; set them free to play to their maximum strength - Guardiola did with Manc C and they ...

Re: Declan Rice

Our final home game on Sunday could be filled with mixed thoughts and feelings - Rice’s reaction will be telling - I’m still hoping he stays for another campaign. As unlikely as that might be, the club have still got to invest in the right targets for life after and with him. We have a lot of player...
