Re: Newcastle Utd v West Ham Utd - Match Thread

Edson is a big miss. I think I'd rather JWP than Phillips. He looks to get on the ball more.

Re: Ben Johnson

I made an account on here specifically for this post. I bumped into Ben in Waitrose in South Woodford on the Monday after the Villa game a couple of weeks ago. He was more than happy to stop and have a chat about the game. He's a top bloke - humble and loves the club. When I asked him whether he'd ...

Dunk goes with the wrong foot trying to clear it.

Well that got me out the armchair. And then sat down again quite quickly.

Have they been told not to give Jarrod the ball?

Re: England -v- Brazil (C4 from 1900)

I thought it was a yellow card trying to get the other guy booked.

Just want to enjoy the last couple of months of Paqueta. Can't see him staying. We've got Brazil's no 10, unique player.

Re: Ben Johnson

We tried to get him to change agent. We also tried to get him to agree to a contract behind his agent’s back. All this despite said agent being someone who has been incredibly close to Ben and the family since he was a youngster. It has never been about wage demands to the level that has been rumou...

Re: Top Flight Clubs Fail to Agree EFL Funding Deal

The Premier League is apparently the wealthiest , best watched league in the world so to say it is incapable of governing itself is surely somewhat disingenuous. For the life of me I can't see any logic in obliging clubs to effectively subsidise their competitors. ALL clubs should be capoable of li...

Re: Top Flight Clubs Fail to Agree EFL Funding Deal

For me it's more an issue that money reaches grass roots youth football. There's still a lack of facilities and coaching.

Re: Where will we finish?

If the PL gets the extra champions league spot does that mean 8th gets ECL?

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

So what was the better sub to make if Antonio was knackered? It's worth mentioning that he's started 3 games in the space of a week. We've no options on the bench to really change things. JWP has been part of what is arguably our best front four. And he’s better defensively as a midfield player tha...

Re: West Ham United v Aston Villa: match thread (17.03.24)

I thought Soucek and Mic touched it with their arms but Mic’s not clear at all. And Mo’s even less so.

Zaniolo has to go for that second yellow, ridiculous decision, totally unambiguous yellow card. Sympathy for the ref in a way but not for that one.

Shame. Was nearly a perfect week.
Plenty on the bench. Ben Johnson at right wing isn't one of them.

That injury looks to be far worse then first thought and it looks like Broja might be finished at this level
Oh *****. Hopefully not for his sake.
