I think it's a good signing, he's not going to transform the midfield on his own but he's a big step up on what we have. With Mangassa, we are at least looking at the right profiles (young, hungry, mobile players), even if we've spent a fair bit on Fernandes. Judging by the initial comments from Sai...

Guilherme impressed as well they had to resort to taking him out a couple of times. Seems to glide past people. Got to get more of a look in this season, just whether he can fit into potters system 

Watching that reminds me how glad I am that we don't have Moyes as manager anymore. Everton looked awful just a few hot and hope passes. A couple of bad challenges from their players. Felt sorry for Casey never really recovered from his mistake. Potts looks like he can make the step up. Not bad from...

It's only a friendly but can't understand how potter thinks a midfield 3 of Guido, Soucek and James ward side pass is going to compete against anyone. Overrun as anyone could've predicted, I'm hoping it's just a last look at them to confirm they're not good enough. Really impressed with Fearon comin...

I think towards the end of the season Scarles looked a bit shakier and maybe lost that confidence to drive forward as much as he did first few games. Potter might have told him to stop doing it as much and slow it down? Who knows but I think he will be a solid backup once Emerson goes 

Very few fanbases turn up in their numbers the way we do even when we get treated to this nonsense so often. Can only think of the geordies during Mike Ashley era but they're a one club city. The place is going to be seriously toxic if we get off to a bad start but looking at the fixtures, it's hard...

Never particularly taken to Kudus with stupid goal celebrations (or non-celebrations). However, there's definitely a player there. Was great first season but like many players last season, looked lost most of the time. I think he'd do well in a better side and it's inconceivable that we would sell t...

Plus she gets a massive bonus and payrise every year. It's mostly a part time gig for her while she does The Apprentice, writes articles for the Sun etc. All the while, she's never secured us any decent sponsorship deals. Relative to the size of the club, it's always peanuts. Less said about the sta...

Surprised how many people turning their nose up at Brownhill. Admittedly not the most exciting signing but will be a strong squad option, I am sure he won't be the only one that we buy in central midfield.  Someone we should be all over is Tanganga from Millwall. Will be good to get a strong English...

I think Arteta has made them more unbearable, winds me up seeing him basically on the pitch on the side, not sure how he gets away with it. Their fans were slating Rice not so long ago and now they got him half price, as fickle as Spurs 

Fantastic free kicks. Meanwhile JWP the specialist has yet to do anything other than spank it into the wall for us

'insert any town here 's a shithole, I wanna go home. Boring, shit song. Same applies for how shite must you be we're winning away/ at home. Oh when the spurs boring slow version that they tried to make a club anthem. North London forever, cringey.  You could pretty much pick any Arsenal or Spurs so...

The insistence on playing out of the back is what winds me up. The first 10-15 mins were pretty much half of the Brentford team camped outside our area waiting for the goal kick and still we insist on putting our entire defence under massive pressure by still passing it to someone at the back. We ha...

Most horrible whiney accent in England. Aside from the Alvarez obvious 2nd yellow I couldn't really work out what they are getting so wound up about all game. Maybe not smashing lowly West Ham. They've got short memories from empty seats galore in their relegation fights to closing a whole tier in t...

Lanzini for me, was just getting better and better pre-injury. I remember the Argie team looking despondent after the news of his injury, had a big part to play at that world cup before then. He was linking up brilliantly with Arnautovic for a while, the kinds of players we are desperate for now.  B...

Managed to ride out the first nervy 20 minutes and then looked so much more like a team for the rest of the game. Paqueta was back to his old self and brilliant in the air, feels better with him further up not giving away the ball in dangerous areas. He took a hell of a lot of kicks and won us some ...

I am actually looking forward to going to games again. Given some of the other awful names I have seen linked with us, I think this is a good appointment for where we are at right now. The fans need to get behind him and hopefully a bit of optimism can come back. Obviously I would have loved Silva b...

Sick of Sullivan and his idiotic kicking the can down the road antics. When has it ever worked? I am giving Monday a miss, not fussed if my ticket sells on the exchange or not, will be empty seats everywhere 

From the outset this was apparently a manager that plays boring football but nicks results based on a solid defence. He insisted on Kilman and for that alone he needs sacking, a fraud of a cb who just sat there looking gormless instead of putting any pressure on them for the 2nd goal. I feel sorry f...

Big step in the right direction. He just needs to stick to that team now for next week and build on it. Can't revert back to changing personnel/formation again after previous wins 

Brevett is a good shout, I was just to the left of the goal myself. Powell was another one maybe just before him who gave his all but best days behind him. We did have some shite back then.  John Paintsil has to be a big one. We all dream of a team of John Paintil's! Behrami? Bit of a headless chick...

Watched last year's Everton home game hungover out in Athens after the Olympiacos game with a few other West Ham fans. That was bloody awful, didn't think it could be any worse this time around.. I almost fell asleep standing up watching it on Saturday. How many times did we seem to have a break on,...

My hope would be throwing everything at Silva from Fulham. I don't think there's a chance of getting Iraola now. Really don't like these Terzic rumours

This guy must wake up in the middle of the night and change his plans. Why why why change a winning side's formation. Seen enough now to realise he isn't going to work here 

Refreshing to see someone like Summerville with blistering pace, lifted the crowd massively. Would love to see Bowen, Kudus and Summerville together with Kudus in the 10 or up top. Great to see AWB, Bowen and Summerville tearing them to pieces down the wings. We are a good striker away from a really...
