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...

A shadow of the player who took the piss out of Leeds with some of the best flair since Di Canio days. Then goes onto play the ball to Bowen for the winner in Prague. It's been a steep downhill curve since then and can only imagine this betting scandal is playing a big part but it's time he gets dro...

Absolutely spot on I was thinking the same, even at 1-0 up on Saturday it didn't really get going. I remember turning up to every ground away and win lose or draw we'd make a racket. The games I couldn't go to, you could hear the fans loud and proud on the TV. I don't agree it's the level of footbal...

Troy Deeney scoring a penalty against us a few years ago at ours and then proceeding to do a full knee slide in front of our end like he scored a 30 yard screamer, completely stacking it and then booting out the corner flag to ride it out. The same guy who doesn't see Kane as being much better than ...

Miles better, first half wasn't pretty at times but they barely laid a glove on us 2nd half. It's clear we are a lot better at retaining possession this season and things finally clicked up top. Paqueta has been so poor for ages, not sure how much longer we can go putting him in there waiting for hi...

Too early to make any big judgements on him yet, but a lot will come down to his starting 11 on Saturday. If we see Antonio and Soucek starting again, it's going to deflate the crowd before the game even starts. I want to like Mavropanos but ultimately he makes too many mistakes leading to goals, we...

We've had to put up with some shit teams and managers but year upon year they don't seem to have anything to look forward to. Looking at their forums they're asking Beto or DCL to start up front, that's the least of their problems from the outside looking in. We get some shit for being negative as a...

Agree these Athletic articles are always a good read. What I remember of Obinna was him always leathering it from about 40 yards out. One of the brighter players in a really poor group we went down with. We've come a long way since that shambles 

Under the Cosh is a funny one speaking to ex players. Some great Di Canio stories from Si Ferry. The rest is history unrelated to football is also good
