Some of the plankton on here... fuckin' ell! 🙄 He's adjusting to a much more intensive level of football compared to the Czech league but despite our disjointed, dysfunctional team he has already shown signs of skill and promise and we're only 3 games in. What does anyone realistically expect at thi...

I see Moyes has ‘set up his team to old man’ their way through another game and get a result. Top Top manager who should still be managing West Ham. Instead we had 2 inferior managers. Absolute shambles!   He lumbered us with Aguerd. Told anybody who would listen that he was clearly his pick and th...

I saw Zidane play for Rael Madrid in a friendly against Beckhams L A Galaxy. He stood out amongst a group of all stars. In a competitive top flight match I’d have to say Liam Brady,  Best West Ham player was Trevor Brooking, although I always enjoyed watching Billy Bonds. who stood out to you on th...

Think Aguerd and Paqueta going would leave us too much to do with 2 days of the window left.  Cresswell for Aguerd sounds good to me. but who comes in for Paqueta at this stage?  if Liverpool are going for Ghuei and Isak then Elliot could be available.  Talk is Sullivan is thinking Vieira. Also bee...

He'll realise the centre backs are the actual problem when we're still letting in goals by the bucketload. The trouble is Mavropanos would be absolutely fine if he had a decent, pacy centre back sweeping up after him and covering his back. He's like a Greek Neil Ruddock or Martin Keown. Effective b...

We need a commanding centre back who can head the ball and a proper striker for the first eleven aswell We need to keep Paqueta and sign a Kudus replacement Don't forget the two loan options! Hopefully we can use them well! Mavropanos does the heading the ball part really well and he is quite the p...

At the time that we signed Cornet, we needed a natural left sided attacker, he fit the bill. But that’s our problem in a nutshell. I’m not sure how much scouting work we really did on him. Sure, he’s “naturally left-sided”. So are hundreds of other players around Europe. He was relatively cheap, an...

The more I have reflected on this, the more I think the Palace game on 20th September will be the real cut off. Assuming we lose away at Forest and at home to Tottenham (which I think is highly likely), then we would be going into that Palace game with 5 defeats from 5 in the season and 4 from 4 in...

“In both instances is was driven by potential property developments and, if I remember correctly, and I'm sure some on here will relish in correcting me, the possibility of building operating a casino attached to both new football grounds” Totally agree Mike, although I think the casino thing was o...

The club is fucked. If we aren’t relegated this season it will be next season or the season after if things don’t change fundamentally. I said before we’re the new Everton. Declan Rice got us out of a short term hole, but we managed to balls up that opportunity. we don’t recruit well. Look how many...

What goes around, comes around, Sullivan. The Football World never forgets how you treated others, so it's only fair we get the same treatment because of your shocking 2bob dealings. From the recent humiliation of the Brazilian Keeper and Botofogo getting pissed around who you are now begging for o...

Steve "Boaty" Cooper nailed on.   Not had that kind of leader at the club since Dowie was manager. "The bells, the bells!!!"   True, he does have the face of a medieval pie seller... It's a handy skill set to have if he can actually manage to create something tasty out of such d...

It was right that Moyes left when he did...in fact he outstayed his welcome by a year. It's our owners and their lack of a strategic, relatively streamlined succession plan which causes us to crash and burn everytime a change is made. BBC five live and Talkshite purposely avoid mentioning this and n...

Had enough of this arogrant no mark now.   11 games, 27% win ratio and 0.66 goals per game. Either the break clause is true or this flake quits otherwise were proper fucked. It will be Sean Dyche nailed on. Something that I would normally like to avoid under calmer circumstances but we have seen th...

Now, I probably haven't ever mentioned this before because I like to calmly survey the available data for a period of time before making a decision on a manager, as I don't like to fly off the handle. But having done this I've decided; I fucking hate Graham Potter. I detest this prick with every fu...

I think what we have discovered and for once Sullivan got something right, is that Potter was effective as a Head Coach, working under a DOF who implemented a football infrastructure to deliver a long term strategy at Brighton founded upon discovering young talent that would be sold to fund year on...

Just saw this on Facebook: This was on a Brighton fan page: FROM THE FORUM: Graham Potter had no clue how good he had it at Brighton There’s a lot of reasons to dislike Graham Potter. For me though, it was always the vibe. He carried himself like he was bigger than the club, like we should’ve been ...

Clueless today

 

Ronald Koeman - Barcelona v Sampdoria 1992 European Cup Final, Wembley.

He gave a masterclass in defence and midfield and scored the winner from a free kick in extra time.

I never realised what the hype was until that day then I felt completely foolish afterwards.

Sublime

A well run club with it's ear to the progressive grapevine should keep in the loop regarding up and coming coaches or those who have done their badges and rated as most likely to succeed. A best in class so to speak. If the owner isn't serious about investing in a player analytics scouting database...

Carl Fletchers missus clearly didn't get the memo.

That garish red Ferrari saw some serious blow job action in Chadwell Heaths car park, for fucking sure!  

The trouble with all this is we get rid of Potter and we will still end up with another unemployed legend in their own lunchbreak who interviews really well - but never does much to elevate the players at his disposal on the pitch to anything more than survival mode - at best. Rinse and repeat. Fail...
