Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I respectfully disagree. The complaints I hear around me in the stadium are not about losing, it's about approaching games positively. We had a full-blown conversation at half time against Villa where everyone agreed that even if Villa came back into the game we were proper chuffed Moyes had set us...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I've got to be honest, I'm finding it a bit embarrassing being a West Ham fan at the moment. Not because of the team, or because of Moyes, but because of certain sections of our support. Mainly the ones that phone into talk sport and rant and rave. Or the ones that unfurl a "Moyes Out" ba...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Is David Moyes the most divisive football manager of all time? I am not his biggest fan, but I appreciate where the club is now to where it was when he took over (twice). I swing from out to stick. Currently I am in stick mode. I think that looking at his record here in a fair and balanced light, D...

Re: ✍ Welcome, Kalvin Phillips

With Alvarez now banned for games against Newcastle, Spurs and Leverkusen, the logic of going for a player like Phillips in January must now be apparent. Let's hope he's up to it. Chuck in Antonio and Ings recent displays, along with Kudus ability to impact games from the left, and I think we can r...

Re: Nottingham Forest Deducted 4 points

It's ridiculous how the likes of Everton and Forest are getting these point reductions, while Citeh sit there wrapping up trebles and quadruples of trophies. Meanwhile the old Chelski regime did what they did and get away free. I hope Citeh eventually get clobbered like Rangers did in Scotland, and...

Re: Nottingham Forest Deducted 4 points

That'll be reduced to 2 points on the very obvious appeal. Everton 10 down to 6 for 3 years of offenses so Forest get 4 down to 2 for one year. Really hope Everton get another deduction and Luton start winning because that's the only way they'll get proper punishments. Everton overspend less and go...

All in all two points dropped of our own making but potentially four points lost in a week because of officiating.
How is Bowen ineffective in the centre when the majority of his goals have come from there this year

I have zero problem with disallowing the goal

Just the time taken over it

I'm wondering if the away leg may be a 1845 CET kick off.
Everything is an 8pm kick off this time round , and should be from here on our

The 1745 kick off were to show as many on TV as possible.

When I heard we had drawn Leverkusen, my 1st thoughts were 'oh ****, it was good while it lasted'. But after reading a lot of positive comments on here and also with last night's wonderful performance still fresh in the mind, I'm beginning to think differently. 1st leg will be a good gauge if we ha...

Think we've been very fortunate with our draws in Europe, so we're 100% due Liverpool.
To be fair that 17:45 kick off was ace

Re: Need a new car

Sounds a complete and utter flaf to me. I'm still trying to work out the advantages of an electric car. My fuel bill for 2 cars dropped from £200 a month (pre COVID prices aswell) to £20 a month in electric (post COVID prices) So the same fuel would cost £300 at least That's with 1,000 miles a month
