Re: Europa Conference League 22-23

We've got a great chance over two legs against any team in this competition, and in a one-off Final. Completely agree, probably our best chance of winning something since the Cup Final against Liverpool. We just need to start finding the back of the net more often. In recent weeks we’ve made lots o...

Re: ⚽ FCSB vs West Ham United: match thread

I think their night out in London was the highlight of their season. They had almost as many Romanians in the ground as there were English. They gave it their all and we went through the motions. Completely agree it was there big day out, but they were coming onto club posts during the Anderlecht g...

That sounds like us from recent performances (last night being an exception).

Re: ⚽ FCSB vs West Ham United: match thread

It was a good solid performance all round. The young lads did a fantastic job. Interestingly, following our home match against them the Romanians were all over our social media feeds saying that they were robbed and that they’d trounce us in Bucharest. I’m guessing their absolute double pumping by S...

Re: Europa Conference League 22-23

Could have sworn there was another post saying the last 16 would be organised on a group winner v knockout survivor basis last night. Yes, I posted the rules for the draw from the play off round and then the round of 16. I guess a mod thought it was a duplicate post and deleted it because they look...

Re: Europa Conference League 22-23

Knock out draw is on Monday. Probably keep the two Italian sides apart or is that cancelled after the groups???? From UEFA rules. The knockout round play-off pairings are determined by means of a draw in accordance with the following principles: UEFA Europa Conference League group stage runners-up ...

Re: ⚽ R.S.C. Anderlecht vs West Ham United: match thread

To echo what many have said, Downes was great tonight. Put his foot in when it was needed to break up Anderlecht’s forward play. Passed the ball well. He’s got to be knocking on the door of a start in Premier league.

Re: ⚽ Silkeborg IF v West Ham United: match thread

The lights that make PL grass grow must consume a small to medium sized town's worth of nice expensive electricity. Read something earlier from Bradford City’s chairman (I think), saying that hard up football teams should move matches to 1pm KOs on Saturdays to avoid the need to use floodlights and...

They always water plastic pitches for proper matches. Helps the ball run on a bit and is a little less burny when a player slides on it.

Re: ⚽ Silkeborg IF v West Ham United: match thread

Not allowed in the Prem. I wonder what the highest level they are allowed in this country? My local team has just been promoted to Segunda division (La Liga 2). Being at 1,000m and surrounded by mountains, they had a plastic pitch until this season. Had to put in a grass pitch to play in Segunda th...

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v FCSB: match thread

The number of 0-0s in the competition tonight. Most of the teams must be shocking. The difference could be just having a decent striker or two in your team.

He has been brilliant, but I’d argue that this isn’t PL level!

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v FCSB: match thread

I’d be interested to see Downes’s passing and interception stats. Got to be up there. I know a lot of them have been safe passes, but we’ve given the ball away too much this season in safe areas.

Re: ⚽ West Ham United v FCSB: match thread

I don’t get this, “Not a penalty, the keeper didn’t look at Cornet,” stuff. Cornet won the header, the keeper hit him after he’d headed the ball. Anywhere else on the pitch from any other player and that gets given as a free kick. So why wouldn’t it be given as a penalty?

Anyway, 2-1 now. Happy days.
