I actually agree with Swiss on this point. The politicians are more to blame than those seeking free stuff and an easy ride. If the government (and those before it) made it less appealing to be here then less of them would come.     And that is just it  You can see the reason for the influx and  th...

Jusr got back from Spain and we stayed in a villa in a mostly Spanish residential area where there are also apartments that Spanish use to holiday. Virtually every single community or set up had a Spanish flag up. We spoke to a barman about what is going on in UK and he said the Spanish flag is very...

I don't think it is territory marking. I think its more a message to the Government to not forget the people that live here. What are you doing for us? What are you doing for our homeless, elderly and vulnerable? We are English and British. Don't fucking forget that. .

Bang average? 

Wow. 

See where are at game 5. If we see the improvement sustained for another couple of games it might then be that we have “turned a corner”. But to really know will probably mean waiting until xmas assuming we dont immediately go back into a “downward death spiral”. The transfer window needs to get us...

When all said and done. I think we have had a good window when you look at the outs and ins.  Diouf looks a sensation and him and Summerville can be potentially as a good as any top PL teams left side. Fernandes looks like the energy and ability we needed in midfield and he and Paqueta can be very e...

What scares me is that even if we get the midfielders in, it’s not actually what Potter wants at all. He actually wants what we are seeing. He doesnt want to create loads of chances. He doesnt want quick transitions. He doesnt want more direct football at all. It’s all starting to dawn on me like s...

Yeah, he sees himself as some sort of Doug Ellis, Ken Bates, Ron Noades, Mike Ashley, Jack Walker type. The all powerful publicly visible owner who basks in the glory of it all and wants to be revered and seen as a deity. Only problem is they were all 20-30 years ago and he still seems to think it'...

Why does he put up with it?  He knows that he's despised by the fan base and derided at every opportunity.  Why not sell the club and enjoy his wealth? Could it be that he's such a psychopathic cսnt that he enjoys the misery that he inflicts on us all, and that he has the power to alleviate said mi...

Sullivan has turned West Ham into a dog with fleas. Nobody wants it. Why would they? No manager comes to West Ham and leaves with their reputation enhanced. It's like climbing through barbed wire. You just get cut to death. That's the environment that Sullivan has created. A backwards and retarded f...

The potless dwarf must be laughing his bollox off . The whole fanbase are arguing amongst ourselves.. surely we're all united that he needs to fuck off pronto . Concentrate on him and it will soon improve.  I disagree. The whole fanbase is not arguing amongst themselves. Debating about the best way...

A few of my pals played at a West Ham golf charity day on Tuesday last week. Galey, Harewood and Cottee in attendance. Also Jack Sullivan (for what its worth) and he told people we will be getting at least 2 more in, hopefully 3. Not willing to bet anything on it but its associated to this thread so...

As a 5 year old he scared the life out of me as General Zod in Superman 2. He just looked so intense in that film.  One of his more recent roles is very under-rated as it is a cameo of sorts when he played Terence Bundley in Yes Man with Jim Carrey. Absolute stunning performance.  "You're  dead...

How the fuck do you go from looking pretty decent in the first half to playing like that in the second half? Absolute awful decline.  Really not seeing anything from Potter to give me hope that its not him that is the weakest link. If things do some to fruition and we do get in the 2 or 3 being prom...

Itauma does look the real deal but, let's be honest, he hasn't yet fought anyone with serious pedigree. However, having said that, who he has fought he has dispatched with clinical ruthlessness.  The Dylian Whyte fight was a no lose for Mitauma. If he dispatched him early, which he did, then it woul...

Fernandes does seem considerably over-valued at £50m, especially as it’s legs we need in midfield (assuming Paqueta stays and remains the more creative force). I get that Soton fans rate him. But we shouldn’t pay that for him. He just hasn’t shown that value yet. As a marker (and it’s only that), y...

I couldn't give a fuck about Ramsey. We were never in for him and he never wanted to come to us. Good luck to him sitting on Newcastle's bench.  Fernandes would be a great buy. But, as I said yesterday, not a priority - Especially with Paqueta staying. yes, in an ideal world, we get Fernandes in and...

Just my two penneth FWIW..... I am not sure Fernandes should be our target. We have Paqueta and so a ball playing midfielder is not a priority. For me, our priority should be Makua who is powerful and dynamic. And available for £15m. Our engine is what needs an upgrade.  If I was Potter, I would be ...

We ain't paying anything like £50mil for him, but anything around £35mil would seem like good business   Paying 35m+ for a player that was available for 15m the season before isn’t good business. Why? If he has 2 or 3 good seasons with us and then we sell him for £60m, that is good business.

OK, asked a Southampton supporting mate of mine to give us his view of Fernandes in his own words. Pasted directly below. Apologies for any errors (he's not a writer!) and for the fact that he's a dithering Southampton fan who can't edit. He's from Hampshire, which is basically an illness! “Most im...

A few posters on here noticed and remarked on how good the no 17 was for Lille on Saturday, then we saw links to Mukau at Lille and so it seems Macaulay and Potter noticed too.   We need 2 central midfielders not one so Fernandes and this geezer would be great. Mukau is more of a Kante type player ...
