UCL: West Ham Utd 3-1 Viborg FF (18/8/22)

[brothernero]

Thank you for the information DL.

With regard to the two players missing out wouldn't you think that someone there would have seen that there was a chance that they could be playing in the UK and getting the ball rolling with visas prior to their playoff game, just in case?

Viborg aren't the biggest club around, how much money does a visa application cost?

Have teams needed them before Brexit? Should they have applied for Visas for every possible opponent?

[Burnley Hammer]

Like on Arsenal’s All or Nothing documentary where Mikel Arteta did a team talk via zoom, will David Moyes do the same?

I’ve not seen the Arsenal programme so I can’t comment on that. I won’t be watching it for a number of reasons.

I really wish he'd have listed those reasons....

I looked into and I think it was £100 per person. Seems its 2 players.

I'm sure we will hear if Sully has to shell out for any of our aways in the future.

Apparently, Zouma is struggling with that knee, so if he is out too, I have no idea who will play at the centre of our defence, other than Johnson filling in

Where'd you hear this Puff?

I have a feeling it''s internet chinese whispers, someone on the internet says "Zouma looked like he was struggling with his knee against NF" after that tackle and one 5 second video of him limping a bit, then it eventually gets turned into "Zouma's definitely out for the game, as he's struggling with an injury.

[Eggs'n'nuts]

Had a look as fancied that myself, he won't be there on Thursday because of the trains/low attendance.

Cheers Scratchy.

Scamacca

I demand Ashby!

I'm in Scotland for the Edinburgh Fringe and want a Scot to cheer for.

[PF.]

Am I having a brain fart? I can’t see any trains from Brentwood to Stratford after 5pm tomorrow and nothing back.

Thought there wasn’t a strike on the Elizabeth line.

[simon hammer]

Thought I'd treat the kids to their first match at the London Stadium tomorrow night!

[Watford Hammer]

Saw some footage from today's training earlier. It was quite a long camera shot. Among the 1st teamers, the tallest player was a guy with a massive afro, Couldn't think who it might be (unless Moyes has finally persuaded Fellaini to join him).

Could have been Baptiste maybe?

Anyone got any ideas?

I think it might be Pierre Ekwah. His hair is braided in his profile picture on the web site but he was certainly sporting an afro the other day v Arsenal in PL2

That rumour yesterday about a long term issue?
Downes and Johnson I suppose.

Probably rubbish though

I think there is a reduced service on the Elizabeth Line due to the industrial action - whether that results in no trains as you describe I don't know.

[Puff Daddy]

You see, I would play Antonio up top for this one and let Scamacca loose on Brighton on Sunday

That was Cresswell

[Doc H Ball]

...and let Scamacca lose on Brighton on Sunday

Written it off already Puff?

[hammerman11]

Scamacca needs some gsme time at least one half tomorrow.
We need to rest zouma if he has issues with his knees. Means kehrer will definitely start but we are short in defence

in the context of "must win games" this is a "MUST WIN GAME."
