Re: To Those That Went Today

Camera was firmly fixed on the West Ham supporters flooding out over the bridge outside the ground… and on the away end going berserk I watched the game on the tele and im still embarrassed at the footage off the fans streaming out. The supporter base already has a reputation for leaving as soon as...

Bit of a nothing game but referee is so biased
Correct me if I'm wrong but the same ref that was involved in the absolute debacle that was Spurs v Liverpool?

I feel the same way when we play the Nigels and we have to see/hear the Palace "ultras".
Do you even know what "Ultra or Ultras' refers to ?

Is it more/less cringeworthy than 'Firm' ?

Re: AZ Alkmaar vs West Ham Utd: match thread

Gotta love this forum..

10+ pages of ppl frothing in excitement over a couple of fellas lamping a gaggle of teeny Ultras yet barely a word that after 45 years WHU have made a European final and barely 3 to 4 thousand of this clubs fans will be in attendance.

Re: AZ Alkmaar vs West Ham Utd: match thread

You would have thought UEFA had learnt from the Roma v Feyenoord final in a similarly sized ground in Albania.

Two massive clubs so what happened...thousands of fans out on the street fighting.

Crazy...

Re: AZ Alkmaar vs West Ham Utd: match thread

Did I read correctly that the final will be played in Prague in a stadium that barely holds 19 000 ?!

Two very popular clubs and yet again UEFA are choosing these tiny grounds as venues for finals ?

Re: VAR Thread

Genuinely shake my head at people wanting it to remain.

We don't need it full stop.

Ask 100 football fans and I'd say 90 would be more than happy for the ref to make a decision there and then and we get on with it.

Have people forgotten what it was like already?

just heard some of Tuchel's interview. :shock: He said Antonio's goal shouldn't have counted either as apparently there was a foul committed as grievous as Cucarella's hair pull. What? His true colours have come out this season. Odious man and thoroughly slimy. Always someone else's fault, never hi...

Re: ⚽ Chelsea v West Ham United: match thread

So the VAR man Today was Jared Gillett? An acquisition from the A-League where like the MLS, VAR’s purpose seems to be to disallow goals. As im based here in Oz i can assure you he was responsible for some of the strangest/controversial decisions in the A League. Every other game he officiated ther...

I was just watching the Villa v City game and Coutinho was smashed one in only to be ruled offside by the assistant. Countless replays later and even the commentators had to concede it was a blatant mistake. Why isn't the VAR used Will the FA provide an apology What a complete pile of s #@! The game...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.

You're talking about Scamacca, right? He scored 16 league goals for Sassuolo last year in Serie A. He also scored double figueres in all competition in 20/21 at Genoa and Ascoli in 19/20. Granted I got last season wrong but previous seasons/club I was talking league goals. Either way, just don't be...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know what half of these things mean and they do my nut in as much as interest me, but what I do know is that the other three are really good players that we’d be buzzing to sign. Some statistical creativity there eh... As I said a few pages back. Watched him for a few years ...

Not going to lie but I've followed Scamacca for a while and I just find this a very odd signing.

Happy to be proved wrong but I believe he will struggle in the EPL..
