Re: Europa League Final (31st May 8pm)

Having been highly critical of English refereeing this season I have to say:
Anthony Taylor was the best man on the pitch at that match last night

Unlucky to our young Hammers.
It's the exact same story at U21 level.
Something isn't right within the game...

Re: The kids are all right

Commentary is soooo biased it's unbearable.
Shaun Goater as co-commentator bleating on about how good City are.
West Ham look the more dangerous going forward and deservedly lead at half-time.

Hugely disappointed that the club are not doing anything to make this game tonight available to its supporters.

Re: Pelly Ruddock (WHU-related)

speaking of another ex-youth start, just saw tonight that Dapo Afolayan joined St. Pauli in Germany from Bolton in Jan. They're that cult 'punk' club with the skull badge. The club down the road from where I live, can see the ground from my window. Dapo joined in January at the same time as the clu...

Re: Pelly Ruddock (WHU-related)

Always thought he had something about him when he was with us, and have followed his career since then. A bit ungainly, but very effective deeper midfield player. Luton went through a poor patch this season when he was out with injury, and have picked up again since his return. Proves his worth to t...

Re: ⚽ Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham Utd: match thread

Knew someone would pop up having a pop about last night's game, we were denied the most obvious penalty I've ever seen at 2-0 and they went straight up the other end and scored which demoralised us if we pulled it back to 2-1 a completely different game. Our youth team are winning the under 18's by...

Re: ⚽ Brighton & Hove Albion vs West Ham Utd: match thread

I just wanted to point out that I hate that we have a bench with one player short and two goalkeepers. We are a professional football club we have a brilliant youth team and we would prefer to keep the bench spots blank. I honestly think this would be demoralising for our younger players and I genu...

Down to Lanzini being on corner duty on both sides in the first half - no Cresswell, Bowen or Fornals

Re: ⚽ Chelsea v West Ham United: match thread

…or if they’d seen Mendy play acting before in trying to win decisions. He had quite clearly been told to go to ground and feign injury if he lost the ball, which he does a lot when put under pressure. It wasn't only Mendy, all the Chelsea defenders do it and were doing it all game yesterday. Silva...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.

Onana might go on to become a huge star, but right now I'm amazed that clubs are prepared to pay so much for a young player who is still by and large untested at highest level. He signed a five-year contract at Hamburg coming from the Hoffenheim youth team, played 25 games in the German second divis...

Re: How Do You See The League Shaping Up?

I’m assuming you live in Berlin? It’s one pre-season friendly. Cooper has an excellent footballing brain and has been successful throughout his brief managerial career. Spend a lot of time there for work - wouldn't have travelled far to see that match, it was a bike ride away. Cooper has impressed ...
