Would be a real shame for James, he looked the perfect middle ground between Walker and Alexander-Arnold for England. I would be lining up a bid for Madueke, personally. Think he's going to be a star, and Chelsea will sell fringe players. Would be great on the left, and I think he has it in him to ...

Taking off your striker for a midfielder, 3-1 up with a third of the game left to play isn’t some kind of default move. You don’t have to do it and not every other manager would/does. Is it as binary as that with the players with have tho? Take off Antonio yes a "striker" for Phillips But...

Against spurs same line up that started yesterday.. well personally drop zouma and play aguard. Against the Germans 3 - 4 - 3 ----------------fabainski ------dinos ---zouma---aguard JWP---soucek paquata Emerson ---------bowen Antonio kudus Now before anyone says but JWP.. he played right back for So...

It's 2024

Anyone worrying about bad language feel free to return to the 1930s

I wouldn’t start him Tuesday, keep him fresh and ticking over for Germany. See id say start him Tuesday but not Saturday Tuesday we have no Alvarez So who do we play if we have to push Bowen up top? Kudus goes right, paquata left then JWP back in the 10 So who goes into midfield? Can't be Phillips ...

They should be looking at why that is and doing something about it instead of swerving the issue, and for balance, the mob currently in charge should've already done similar. And WTF is a "hero voter"? The Labour leader's annual address to the faithful was part of a strategy to win back w...

Survation Megapoll makes sobering reading for Sunak Tories set for extinction level event as mega-polling analysis puts them on 98 seats. Reminds me of a saying an old mate & high level judo competitor used to say "If you're going to lose, lose quickly" There's nothing to be gained by...

8th.

None of this negativity mind set

We came back from 1-0 down yesterday

Our keeper goes off injured (sorry fab you aren't the same level anymore)

Dodgy pen given

Without that dodgy pen we 100% win yesterday

We go again

I think Dagenham is far from alone in descending in to the cesspit. Pretty much every reasonably sized conurbation is a shadow of it's former self, irrespective of the colour of the council. It's only the really affluent places that have retained that quality of life, and even then i expect their r...

Yes, nice towns have lots of pubs, crap ones have lots of fried chicken shops. Another obvious sign of a nice area is if you visit after dark and the shops ain't behind armour............. Lol maybe you should contact the home secretary and ask them why they cut police numbers and does it link to c...

In it's fairly recent history Barking used to be the filling between the cesspit known as Newham* and the posh sunny uplands of Havering. We could have been posh sunny uplands as well, we've got a fantastic history, at one point we even had a Marks and Spencer's, now we have more shitty fried chick...

Allardyce always had a certain contempt for us fans, he always banged on about us being deluded and that the WestHamWay was just one big myth. He still mentions it now. Basically he didn't like us and didn't bother playing the PR game. Gave the impression that he never wanted to hang around here fo...

He is man united soucek

Under appreciated for his efforts. Great player tbh

Plenty of experience

Would suit us perfectly

McTominay is up there with Gallagher as not really fixing any issues in the team bar maybe incremental improvement to a first team spot for significant amounts of money. That incremental uplift doesn't seem worthwhile given the real improvements that money could be directed on to the squad (FBs, ST...

A bit of today's BBC Gossip Manchester City are monitoring Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, with Manchester United, Tottenham and Real Madrid also interested in the 21-year-old Englishman. (Mail) Manchester United have been linked with selling Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay, but the clu...

You’re making a null point. Replace and upgrade players adequately, and this wouldn’t be a debate. Either way it would still make a difference. Yes the blame is on those who have not replace him however Antonio going on a jolly for pretty much bugger all reason isn't helpful. The fact is we haven't...

Im not sure why it would grate you.. the bloke gets paid a ridiculous amount of money to play for West Ham United, his body clearly cant deal with a lot of games and yet hes prepared to fly around the world for international games, when most players in his position would likely focus on the thing t...

I'm glad he is fulfilling his dream from his late 20s of playing for Jamaica after it was clear his dream of playing for England had gone...

Cancelo is 29 years old. No thanks. Knowing the fact that both Vlad and Emerson will be 32 and 30 respectively by the end of the first month in the new season, it’s the last area of the squad we could do with more ageing players. The oldest I want any incoming fullback to be is 27. 28 at a push if ...
