Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

David, for the love of god, his name is Nayef Aguerd! It’s not like it’s Stelios Giannokpoulos! Bloody Nathan Aguard 😁 I believe it's a training ground joke. Nayef sounds like Nath in a British accent, extended to Nathan. It's a bit weird to say in interviews, but not nearly as annoying when manage...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Yes, I agree but the pull of a club in the Premier League, London plus a recent history of Europe may let the right manager see past that. There are plenty of bad owners out there. The other side is do you trust Sullivan to give Moyes what he needs to reenergise this squad or are we heading for ine...

Re: Other Matches 9 March - 14 March

People are allowed an opinion. They’re allowed to disagree with IB. Do they? Literally? Because plenty of English fans have said (and continue to say) that Rice is nothing special…. Plenty say the same about Saka, Rashford and plenty of other English players too. There's having a different opinion ...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

We rarely appoint from a position of strength though. All that Moyes has achieved actually makes it easier to find someone who can replace him and maintain or kick on IMO. There is (another) rebuild to be done in the summer and I'm not convinced I want a squad built for Moyes. If we dont build it f...

Re: Other Matches 9 March - 14 March

People are really going for IB tonight...

Gilmore's a good player, potential to be a very good one.

And he's Scottish, like IB, so of course he over eggs him.

The English do it all the time, literally all the time.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I thought we were bang average for the first 45 minutes on Sunday. We were lucky not to go in 0-3 down at home against the bottom team in the division. If the stats don't back that up, then I'm surprised, but nothing will change my opinion. That Burnley were much better than us for 45 minutes on Su...

Re: ✍ Welcome, Kalvin Phillips

I really miss, Philo Kehrer. No idea why Moyes sent him out on loan. ****ing pointless, if you ask me You can state it as matter of factly as you like, but there's absolutely no evidence that Moyes made this decisions. In fact there's more evidence (from ITKs on here) that Moyes didn't want players...

Has anyone said this?

Re: West Ham United -v- SC Freiburg - 2nd leg match thread - 14.03.24

. However , I've seen him shoot some fantastic goals from outside the box when he is given time , so fingers crossed . Antonio has scored two goals outside the box for West Ham, one against Brighton at the end of 21/22 and one in the Conference League last year. It's not a strong suit of his :grin:

Fabianski
Coufal Mavropanos Aguerd Cresswell
Alvarez Soucek
Bowen Kudus Paqueta
Antonio

I'm tempted.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I'd take a wild ride on the Sarri train.

There are very few managers I wouldn't choose over Benitez. He's completely passed it.

Not going to go into all our yesterday’s and family legacies and history of my support I think he’ll be gone end of season imo.

Still think we should have gone for that Cole Palmer paq man swap deal , what a player, will score at least two and a half times more goals than paq man this season , did we try? Gnoto is on fire at Leeds, did we try ? Perhaps not. Paqueta feel through because of the gambling charge and regardless,...

Re: Other Matches 9 March - 14 March

If we make the assumption 5th place will be the Champions League, then 7th will probably be Europa League and that is much more appealing than conference league (even if there is more chance of winning the conference league) i don't think we have a chance of 7th (IMHO) but could sneak 8th, although...

Wolves are the dark horses. Of those teams chasing Europe, us, Newcastle, Brighton, Chelsea. Wolves are above us all over the last 15 games and 10 games. For what it's worth we're above Newcastle and Brighton over the last 15 games, and we're all level on points over the last 5 games. It's incredibl...

Zouma has looked far worse left side to me? Previously I thought it was OK. I think Johnson has to play for more pace LB Yeah I don't like Zouma on the left, as I said I'd rather play Mavropanos and Aguerd together again. Failing that Zouma with Aguerd on the left side. I wouldn't mind seeing Johns...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I support West Ham because my Dad told me to when I was too young to know any better. My earliest memories are us being relegated under Roeder, though I did love Di Canio.
