Compared to that time when we 'won the transfer window', it wasn't so bad. C+

In each of the last four games, the opposition have scored headed goals from crosses from the right directed at the far post. We have been poor at defending that area. Centre backs have been drawn towards the centre of the goal and full-backs have been slow or reluctant to fill the gap. Personally, ...

Anyone want to chip in to buy a Dignitas Gift Voucher for Sir Alf?

The repercussions? A war with Iran, I suspect.

Brighton & Hove Albion v Everton:  1-2 Leeds United v Arsenal:  0-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers v A. F. C.

We don't need to own the stadium but need to have operational control. Pay a more realistic rent, remodel the stadium and keep all the revenues arising from naming rights, food and beverage and non-footballing events. Brady's alleged 'deal of the century' is a millstone around the neck when it comes...

I know a few Barcelona supporters. When he went there on loan a few years back they were amazed. So fast, so strong. So unlike the rest of the team. Then after a few games they realised. Can't pass. Can't score. Thank fuck the rest of the team aren't like that. That said, I reckon he'll do well for...

“Strong, quick and able to create and score goals ” Haha, yeah at a rate of around 1 in 20. I've added his stats for last season when he was regular for Fulham (18 starts, 18 as sub)...a direct goal invovlement every 86 mins. If we can get THAT guy, he's well worth having.     Please show your work...

While every season is different from another there are still 20 teams who play each other with 3 points at stake. Teams can still go on dreadful runs. I doubt most fans expect West Ham to get out the current fix but it’s only natural to hope they can or what’s the point.  If the West Ham squad in 20...

Another league we are about to be relegated from. To think, a while ago we were neck and neck with the likes of Villa and Newcastle who have been subject to the same financial rules and constraints. All about desire and ambition. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mESFdFwblggv5BXvcD3L9E0hnGe04s_o/view...

No surprise that games can be exciting once there is something at stake i.e. in the knockout rounds. But most competitions now are set up to spend 80% of the games to eliminate 20% of the entrants 

Or it's the product not the fans. It is expensive to go to games and no longer affordable as afternoon out with your mates or kids. Most matches are boring to watch and bogged down in tactics. VAR has killed the spontaneity. Football is now optimised for media. They love VAR as it provides their tal...

Pierre Sage, the manager at Lens appears to doing a very good job.

Don't know anything abou him but if he is proved to be a managerial genius remember who mentioned him fiirst.

On the other hand if he turns out to be a one-season wonder, please disregard this post. 

Given we are in a massive hole and can’t solve all the problems in one go, I would rather prioritise what we don’t have rather than worrying about additional backup. With that in mind, my preference would for ball carrying creativity. Someone to deliver what Paqueta is meant to do but doesn’t.  

Enjoy 30 minute’s worth of football as entertainment by watching Big Match highlights of West Ham vs QPR in the 1975 FA Cup 5th Round. Upton Park, muddy pitch, open game, both teams pushing forward trying to win. Proper tackles, Phil Parkes in goal for QPR, Keith Robson manhandling the referee, no V...

Areola is the least of our problems. None of these signings are going to be keeping us up nor prepare us for the championship. We need CBs and STs plus a winger familiar with the premier league.  When their was talk of Toney and Traore I thought to myself that gives us a chance. Random scatter gun ...

Forest being crap offers a glimmer of encouragement.

Looked to me as if the keeper went as the result of injured pride following his embarassing attempt to intercept the through ball

The cautionary tale is Fabio Silva who Wolves paid a shed load of money for and who was crap - and continues to be crap now he's at Borussia Dortmund

I'm assuming this transfer was during Nuno's tenure at the club.

 

I does what I likes and I likes what I do

Based on past performance, Nuno will be looking to double check that selecting Guido Rodriguez last week was a mistake by repeating it again. 

It was a much more encouraging performance all round. Can’t agree with Nuno that it was a similar level of commitment to the Liverpool game. It was several levels higher. Can they carry that forward to Sunday now?  AWB had an incredible game. It would be nice if he could show the same “I want to sho...
