Re: Arsenal vs West Ham United: match thread
Arsenal and Spurs away in a season when Arsenal are title contenders and Spurs are (semi-)reborn under AP. 6th in the league. Still in Europe. Yet Moyse can still do nothing right in the eyes of some because everything looks less exciting than in certain previous seasons (often spent entirely in the...

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v TSC Backa Topola: match thread
Jimenez Wardio Prowsio would have cost 100 mill and be playing for Real Madrid. Thankfully he’s from Portsmouth, has a normal haircut and prefers the claret and blue. I doubt it. It’s been English players who have been notoriously overpriced in recent years. Jimenez Wardio Prowsio would be cheaper,...

Re: Watching Outside of Europe
4am here in Japan and no Japanese based stations or services showing it so hoping the UEFA site doesn't let us down. We all have work the next day, and most of us Hammers couldn't get time off as it is halfway through the semster for teachers and lecturers. One lucky fella I know got a ticket. Will...

Re: Wales Vs Ukraine
Ukraine should have had a penalty and were the better side all evening. Totally undeserved Welsh victory. Gutted for the Ukrainians.

Genuinely starting to believe that winning the Europa League WILL be the way to get into the CL. And maybe Declan stays for at least another season of that happens?

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd v Chelsea: match thread
I think that line-up is OK and we really don't want to be outnumbered in midfield which was the case against Brighton where they continually passed through us.Coufal getting forward with Johnson a little more circumspect to deal with James who is a very good player.I think more important than the l...

Re: ⚽ Aston Villa vs West Ham Utd: match thread
Where are the sniggering fans of certain other clubs who kept insisting last season that West Ham had some of the worst fans and we were only doing well because the games were played without fans so the players did not have to ensure their poor treatment at home games?

Re: Takeover talk
Just because Rosicky was a great player doesn't make him a great 'director of sport'. Plenty of great players have made bad managers. Just being a 'football person' doesn't mean you can do every job in football. You could still accuse Kretinsky of keeping his mate in a job he's not suited for. I ha...

Re: Takeover talk
The one concerning point on the Sparta Prague fans feedback was one comment about putting his friends in roles rather than real football people. Tomas Rosicky is not a football person? OK then..He is the director of sports with massive say over transfers, etc. Some people who don’t like some of the...

It's not about finding the bad, it's about journalists doing their homework.

Whatever you think of his practices, he has been an incredibly smart investor throughout his c...

https://twitter.com/deant93/status/1453721025150021632?s=21 I’ve seen a couple of people commenting about him not being good for Sparta. Doesn’t really bode well. He has sunk a huge amount of money into Sparta Prague. He is definitely been a generous owner, perhaps to a fault sometimes. He is also ...

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd vs Manchester City: match thread
And there I was, like the moron that I am, thinking that last season could not be topped and that the thin squad would really cost us, with Europe in play as well. And here we are, beating a pretty decent City side with 8 changes from the Tottenham game. Someone hit me over the head with a pint glas...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2021
…for less than £7m Oh really? Then that’s a good deal for Brighton I think, well worth the risk, given his potential. Then again, not sure if it’s not a season too soon. Ideally he’d spend a year on loan in a lesser league, but obviously Brighton is not a club that can spend 7 million quid on a pla...

Non-WHU: Sima from Slavia Prague to Brighton
Looks like Brighton are buying Abdullah Sima from Slavia Prague. Just mentioning as there was a lot of speculation about West Ham being in the market for the man. Personally I think it’s good West Ham did not go for him. He is a very talented young player, but I don’t think he is PL-ready yet. Maybe...

Re: Jesse Lingard
If he isn’t making strong noises through his people to us that he’s desperate to come then I’d leave well alone. It would really say a lot about his desire to succeed at the top still if he’s willing to stay there rather than join us If he’s willing to stay there it primarily would say a lot about ...

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd V Crystal Palace: match thread
One somewhat subpar half in a draw, and 7 out of 9 points in the first 3 games. Not getting too excited about not beating Palace, it’s still a great start to the season. That said, the thin squad will become a massive issue further down the line this season. Hoping that it is dawning on Lingard that...
