Re: ⚽ Watford v West Ham Utd: match thread
I think we have been playing poorly for a while now. We have a small squad, loads more games and now some injuries so it is understandable. Yesterday was a nice breather and will hopefully install a little confidence as the opposition were so poor. I dont know why this Rice / Soucek debate is a thin...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2021
I think we are in agreement that Leicester is a very well run club. Last season we were so close to them and we finished a few points of Champions League. Since then, Leicester have invested, we have not. I know the window is still open but, the season starts today. This for me shows that our owners...

Re: Takeover talk
Concerning the statement, there was a passage about ground occupancy that had me thinking. I believe we near enough sold out the 35k at UP most weeks even in the Championship; from memory, when i had a season ticket i believed the attendance to be circa 55k which was near capacity at the time. Am i ...

Re: Takeover talk
Would it surprise anyone, if GSB were behind this, as a way to make people think 'Better the devil you know' I was literally about to say the same thing! This show of a takeover is distracting a very quiet summer of transfers and it draws sympathy for the owners (from some). Don't know how any comp...

Re: ⚽ Newcastle Utd v West Ham Utd: match thread
Think the team picks itself really. It will be interesting to see what happens with the keepers though.
0-2 West Ham, comfortable first game, no need to invest in the team

Re: Takeover talk
I would prefer it if there was a statement that was made to the general public along the lines of "West Ham UNITED FC has marketing potential that we as a group could use to enhance the growth of the club. With further investment in the local area we can maximise profits which would be reflecte...

Re: Takeover talk
Isn't it the West Ham way to have a consortium push this publicly for a take over and they behave the way they do! They are trying too hard to win over the support and it is becoming cringy! I want GSB out tomorrow and until the last statement, it was at any cost. I was thinking "how could it b...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2021
I appreciate that there is still some optimism and faith among us however, i cannot share just yet. We was short in playing personnel last year however, we didn't suffer many injuries but, when we did it showed. We have since lost Balbuena, Lingard and Haller. Dawson was excellent last year alongsid...

Re: Takeover talk
I agree with Doc on this one. Anyone who is a potential buyer for this club will come under scrutiny now thanks to the mistrust placed in the current board. They have said the obvious things first, money for players, improving infrastructure etc. and then followed it up with that statement yesterday...

Re: Takeover talk
I would like GSB out asap however, the vocal consortium do have me concerned. They are using public image to force their hand; they know there are fans unhappy with the current ownership and they are using this for leverage. In a way I like the fact they called Sullivan out, who is telling the truth...

Re: Declan Rice
This may be a two fold thing and at the moment and based on the loose offerings on the grapevine, I cannot work out where we are. Firstly Declan. West Ham have had a fantastic season in which he was at the forefront. He is now an England regular playing with elite players in an elite competition. Is...

Re: Gold & Sullivan
Id like Sullivan to come out and give us some kind of 2, 5, 10 year plan of what he envisages for west ham. I think to be fair they did that with their 10 point plan and all of the criterion they said they would meet is subjective. I'd like Sullivan to come out and be honest. Prior to the move if h...

Re: Gold & Sullivan
GSBGSB, I think you make a fair comment. In terms of facilities it is miles above UP. Not standing ankle deep in urine in the toilets makes a welcome change! The point I was making was it was the 'feel' for football that was lost for me. I wasn't actually against the move as I thought that it would ...

Re: Gold & Sullivan
There seem to be some new posters that are trying to make a point, that it really isn't that bad. I have tried really hard to step back from my personal feelings and try and look at the positives of the current board. I try to look at all angles of a conversation as perception is a funny thing. I am...

Re: David Moyes - 18th Permanent Manager of WHUFC
I don't necessarily think setting up cautiously against the bigger teams is a bad thing, sometimes you need to counter punch. I feel that we give them more of a go these days then we have done in past seasons. The problem is we don't have the squad to make game changing decisions especially when to ...

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd vs Arsenal: match thread
Just to echo what others have said, thought we would get a draw beforehand and i am pissed off we did! 3-0 up and coasting and the Arsenal changed formation and turned the screw, we didn't know how to handle it. Think we would have benefitted from Fornals yesterday to protect the fullback. More cred...

Re: Michail Antonio
Antonio is an awkward player with not much technique. He is fast and strong and has an unpredictability about him. He chases down defenders and often pulls out wide, making space for our attacking midfielders. His shooting is sometimes row z however, he has a habit of being in the right place at the...

Re: David Moyes - 18th Permanent Manager of WHUFC
We have played five at the back before and it has worked. We have taken Man U, who are second in the league by the way to the line in two games this year and beaten in the other with the momentum changing after they scored with the ball going out of play. As mentioned we are bare bones. I appreciate...

Re: Gold & Sullivan
I think you have to bare in mind that Moyes is Golds man, he wanted to keep him on first time around. I have no issue seeing him wave it in front of Sullivan. I heard too that Gold wanted Moyes and thank goodness he won that argument. Don't like that fact that it is almost like "look what we d...

Re: Gold & Sullivan
I'd say it's despite rather than because of GSB's 'stewardship'. I commented on this tweet. It was along the lines of your response. Despite my dislike for them I think sometimes the angry and somewhat near knuckle comments are unnecessary when David Gold wishes someone a happy birthday for example...
