You don't think we could do what Newcastle or Villa have done, or are doing, and qualify for the Champions League? Newcastle went from 11th to 4th. Villa went from 14th to 7th to 4th. I'd argue we had the talent in our squad to finish in the top 6. But we finished 14th and are on track to finish 8t...

Or any 1970's British Leyland car.

i would think fans would be ok with the buying and selling model as long as it's evident there is a clear structure for replacements whilst the football adapts to the new coach We've seen steidten do a pretty good job in using the rice money to fund kudus, alvarez, JWP etc. Not saying it's going to...

That would be a bit of an overreaction considering Iran killed absolutely no one while Israel's attack on the Iranian Consulate in Syria killed 7 . Can't see Biden sanctioning something as stupid as that . It's Passover in a few days' time , they'll be too busy munching on unleavened bread to kill ...

I do find it interesting how differently people can view football but that is a really harsh summary I'm not an advocate for potter but most of that can be dispelled quite quickly Potter's Chelsea side had something like 15 squad players out and various new signings to try and bed in - the fact poc...

Yes after their new CEO was suspended after 5 days in the job for insider trading :D It’s starting to sound like I want Potter (I don’t) but all reports about him rejecting Ajax also mentioned that he is keen to be back in work. The money’s great but he knows he’ll soon be a forgotten man if he doe...

Moyes slagging fest - This is a point made by one of the more informed posters straight off one of the less reputable West Ham SM pages "Moyes moaning about Thurs/Sunday!! Villa play Thurs/ Sunday and they just beat Arsenal at the Emirates"......

Confirmation bias is king.

Many thanks to those who have completed the survey. It is still live if anyone has a spare few minutes to share their thoughts. Done. Many people go to football to escape the everyday misery that is the news cycle and the Euro's are just another content stream for TV entertainment programming. Lump...

I can't see the situation escalating further .

Maybe you don't but I'd stay away from your windows if you don't want to hear the ****ing great bang when what was Iran's Nuclear facilities goes up in smoke some time over the next 72 hours.

I've said for months, it'll be one out of Cooper, Potter or Benitez. I think Cooper would do alright, he has experience working for a chaotic owner and having players bought for him. Cooper or Potter and I am keeping my ST renewal money in my pocket. If we are to make a change it must be for a mana...

We were 3-1 up at St James Park, how much braver does he think is possible against Newcastle at home? What we needed was for the officials not to buy Gordons diving.

Not sure, mate. I had a poke around & couldn't find anything. We could always guess. "Did the black president go bankrupt 4 times?". "Did the black president publicly cheat on his wife & brag about sexual assault?". "Did the black president organise a terrorist atta...

Would you take Mourinho? Frank McAvennie thinks we should, citing he would sort our defence out and on that, he does have a point Thats not even a question is it?

If we had Ivan Toney we'd be in the top four in the PL as well mate.

What's the point it Steidten is picking players now? We need a plan tbh, everyone on the same page. We have had Husillos, sully/salthouse, Newman and now lear jet Tim all deciding policy in the last 5 seasons. If Steidtens the guy then he is the guy. Get a manager that will work with him and leave ...
