Glad we won, BUT let's be honest, our performance was no better than those that led to defeats in the league. We are a bang average side and we struggled against a mid-table Championship side.  And if and when we get relegated, we also will end up mid-table, On the positive side, we scored two good ...

I hope we pick a team which includes youth and experience. My team ( but not Nunos) would be:                                                              Hermansen                                             KWP         Igor    Todibo         Mayers                                                  ...

How many of you remember John Cushley?  38 games between 1967 - 70, Scottish played for Celtic before joining us. Not the biggest centre back well under 6ft.  I once shared a treatment room at the Boleyn Ground with him and the great Bobby Moore, and to this day, I would claim I was not the worst de...

As you say, Billy, obituaries are tricky things. Today, I was at a funeral, an event that, at my age, is more regular than it once was. I left thinking about what was said, not just the content but also the style. I contemplated what my loved ones would say about me, and it would be noted with the a...

There are so many variables at play here I don't think anyone can confidently predict what is going to happen any time soon.  I CAN WE ARE GOING DOWN Can Nuno still perform a miracle?   NO Will he get the chance to?   HE SHOULDN'T Would we want to pay off another manager?  OBVIOUSLY NO BUT  BETTER ...

RIP Alex V, and condolences to your family.
Thank you for creating this site. I have been on here for many a year, and despite its faults and quirks, there is nothing to rival it for its authenticity of all that is West Ham. Your work and efforts in creating this site are a great legacy.

9 thanks Zico, 

Thanks, Billy, once again, for providing the music for the season.
Happy Christmas to you and yours

There was a time when each year's Calendar had to have a version of 'White Christmas' and a seasonal novelty record, but somewhere over time that has been forgotten. I think it's time to change that.  So, I'm going to say 'jing-a-de-jing' and you're going to say...? Sending you off to the Calendar ...

Missed Monday's Quiz, which was probably a good move given my current form

Yesterday 13
Today 13 

Which would appear to be consistent with my current fortune.

Thanks for all your efforts this year, Zico. May you enjoy the very best of this festive season.

Oh and Feliz Navidad  to all

 

I like Earthy and I hope he isn't sold, but I can also see that he might be. I think there must be a real question around his physicality in the premiership where the mid field is now the land of the giants. Also we already have a young (bigger) Kante pushing for a place. Could Earthy replace Paquet...
