Exceptional tonight

Good lad

Brilliant from them all

Can't ask for more in terms of effort and guts

You did yourselves proud, the manager and coaching team proud, us proud.

Put that in between now and then end of the season and the European dream can continue

Proud

There are three things that I have complete and utter faith in, and that I will believe until the day I die:- 1. My wife is the best person I have ever or will ever meet. 2. Thai sweet chilli sensations are the best crisp ever created. 3. On their day, West Ham United can beat any team in the world...

COYI's

Win or lose I'll be very proud.

Lopetegui Yep, yep... that feels about right. Yep... definitely Sullivan making the decision. Very Grant. Very Pellegrini. Very vanity. Higher profile name with a higher profile salary here for the joy of the paycheque. 18 months at max before he's lost the will to work with Sullivan (ala Wolves...)...

Surely Jonathan David is gonna move this summer with only one year left. When I have seen him he doesn't look good enough for the likes of Arsenal as previously touted but he has looked like a hard worker and team player with good speed and quality. Does his defensive duties and presses that Moyes ...

OK but you said replacing Paqueta with MGW is pointless as JWP has better numbers. Not as a number 10 in open play he doesn't and that's what we would be hoping to replace. JWP could play LB and most of his numbers would be similar. That's not a criticism but imo it does mean he cannot go into that...

absolutely baffling take - they're quite similar if anything if you take opinion and bias out of it - their statistics are very similar in terms of passing, carries etc take a look for yourself https://fbref.com/en/stathead/player_comparison.cgi?request=1&sum=0&comp_type=spec&spec_comps...

Are you saying JWP has better numbers as a number 10 than both Paqueta and MGW? Are you counting set pieces? Putting in a good corner doesn't make him a good number 10. If we went for MGW he would have to play centrally and we would still need a LW option. I'm saying if if the argument is that MGW ...

weakening? not sure where is being weakened when MGW has been numbers than paqueta in an arguably worse team Because he is a worse player and doesn't play anything like Paqueta. If you want numbers, just play JWP in the role (better numbers than them both). Job done, 60 million to be reinvested in ...

Last week I didn't feel nervous

This week I feel petrified! Not because I think we'll get smashed... but because I think we'll come close to doing something special but just fall short.

Handbreak off... **** it if it means getting a pasting!

Yep, that's exactly his position. Quick passes and running with the ball when needed. He would very well into their current team. Watching Man City struggle to break teams down a few times recently (yesterday once they scored... against Arsenal a couple of weeks ago)... Paqueta is perfect in those ...

Anyone who wants him gone is mental imo

Agree

I can understand being resigned to him leaving...
I can't understand actively advocating for him to go

A bit like Rice a year ago

hopefully result in minimal adaptation and HG criteria covered nicely

At least there are some benefits to weakening the team for 140 million

Personally I don't think whether we are in Europe or not (unless Champions League) will have much impact on our ability to attract players Conference League and Europa League is unlikely ti be a sway for the best players we can aim for, and then for the players in the level below that playing in Pr...

He’s a CAM/LW. Very different player to JWP, and carries a lot more threat in the final third. Personally I’d be happy with MGW as Paqs replacement next season. Bowen, Kudus, MGW behind a striker. He's closer to JWP than he is Paqueta for me... he's just played further up the pitch with different e...

Here's a deal

I won't mention Chalobah if you don't mention Gibbs-White?

If either Newcastle or Villas manager left in the summer to go to man utd (ie not sacked) I do not believe either would go for Moyes if available, they would look to Europe imo. Maybe Marco Silva. I'm pretty sure any team outside of the usual CL teams would appoint Moyes as first/second choice if s...

I can confidently predict that neither Aston Villa’s nor Newcastles hierarchy would be looking in the direction of David Moyes if either of them part ways with there manager The hierarchy that appointed Gerrard or Dean Smith wouldn't appoint Moyes? The hierarchy who may face some serious FFP issues...
