Fair enough, although personally, I do hope he plays more than AWB

I'm all for bashing the club and the fucked up way it's run.

That is a bit of a stretch though, son  

He sloped off to Arsenal at the age of 13, ffs

Fucking hell 

All I’d say is none of them have really gone on to do much elsewhere that has us kicking ourselves they left.  That's all you needed to say. We've had 1 player from the Academy who was genuinely good enough to be a proper Premier League player over the last 15 years, Declan Rice. No one, not even M...

Come on mate, you was absolutely scathing about him.

Twice relegated, capped by England, none of that really matters. In terms of value, if he keeps up that form, as a free transfer it'll be one of our best.

Some of them are decent squad fodder: KWP, ageing Wilson (while fit) etc. But they don’t feel like permanent starters (although, as Eerie said, KWP doesn’t need to be).       At least you've upgraded KWP from absolutely useless to decent squad player! Even though I thought he'd be a decent player f...

He probably got offered silly money. We've seen this a thousand times. The ones that don't go anywhere usually have a connection to West Ham, these kids that fuck off anywhere are just looking for a payday, better off without them.

After travelling through Italy and Spain  Yeah those places like Venice, Florence and Rome with all their renaissance 14th and 15th century art is rubbish as are those horrible Alps and beaches. Don't get me started on that shit music by Puccini and Vivaldi or the crap food. They have nothing to co...

Where in Surrey did you exile to?

Assuming you didn't fancy hanging about wherever you were before?

I reckon you're from the Billy Bragg school of pointing fingers from his mansion in the middle of whitesville.

I don't like that his heading is shit, but after having a look, one thing he does seem is a bit of a warrior. After watching that absolute fucking gutless, limp, useless refuses to play cսnt in the first few games, that will be welcome. Let's see. As l9ng as Potter doesn't revert to a back 3, i doub...

Not finding a lot to be positive about with this Igor geezer. Apparently absolutely abysmal in the air, our biggest weakness at the back. Got disaster written all over it.

After the result yesterday, we have now deflated it by signing a bloke that can't head the ball. This fucking club.

If he can defend reasonably well, head the ball, and has the physique to be able to deal with a slight nudge, then he's a massive upgrade on the 3 centre backs that started the first 2 games.

100%

Just don't think we'll get it done.

I reckon they will be thinking that the lad from Monaco can cover CB Wouldn't be happy with that, but I've got the feeling that we won't be bringing someone in. In fact, I'd be surprised if we do sign anyone. Would be a real shame, as I think 2 players added could see us have a really good season. I...

If we get a centre half,and a pack forward who can play up top or on the flanks, I think that would make it a very good window. I hope the defender is Cresswell, as I think his heading in both boxes is something we badly need, proper attacks the ball a bit like Dawson. With Guilherme to come back, t...

The lad is 20 years old, for context, Freddie Potts turns 22 this month. The way he has performed so far in the league at that age, the weapon of a cross he has, it's mental to call him bang average. Fucking hell. As for AWB, possibly the most overrated player we've had for a long time. He was fucki...

Blimey

That's proper wound you up 😂 Don't take it too seriously, son. Even I'm wrong sometimes. LOL. You're the one who dragged up a conversation from 6 weeks ago, Dreerie son. You know, you've become as obsessed with our defenders as Sir Alf with our midfield. It's very boring. Still, at least you have a...

I've watched Liverpool vs Arsenal, which was pony, and now the Villa vs Palace game, also shit. I think most games now are boring, it's the way football is, overly tactical. We played well today overall, scored 3 goals, their keeper made 3 world class saves, and Wilson took one off the boot of Bowen...

Don't take it too seriously, son. Even I'm wrong sometimes.

He wasn't particularly bad, but he certainly wasn't good. An absolute nothing player, painfully slow, and now his set pieces have gone, what exactly is the point of him?

Dinos is our best centre half, no doubt in my mind. He’s earned a starting place.      I did try telling everyone before the season started. He's prone to a ricket, of course, but give me his heart and desire over the other 3 flakes. He was immense today, and he had to be, as Kilman was shit as usu...

I'm glad he's dropped the ridiculously overrated Wan-Bisakka.

Regardless, can't see anything but a loss. Chris Wood & Milenkovic at corners, fuck knows how we'll deal with it, and it's the sole reason I would have started Soucek today, he'll have to mark both of them.
