West Ham vs Spurs | PL | 13.9.25 | Predictions and Match Thread

[stubbo-admin]

With the 'interesting' football hiatus that International Football brings, figured I'd get this match thread up.  The result against Forest makes this game in some ways less significant (as the clock will have been reset on Potter's tenure) but also more interesting as there is a modicum of form to take into the game.

Fullkrug should obviously never be allowed on international duty again, what with it being an injury magnet for him, but that aside, as of now there are no new injuries.  Rumours of a Summerville injury also appear unfounded.

So from a lineup perspective, I'm expecting something like:

Hermansen

Walker-Peters  Mavropanos   Kilman   Diouf

Ward-Prowse Magassa

 Bowen     Soucek   Fernandes

Paqueta

Subs: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Igor, Rodriguez, Irving, Guilherme, Summerville, Willson

Left out: Earthy, Marshall, Potts, Scarles.
Prediction: 1-2 Spurs (Muani, Kudus;  Bowen for us)

I'll go 2-2!

Would absolutely bite your hand off for that outcome.

I just don’t see a scenario where we take all 3 points, I must say.

Don't do that, I'm already half a left leg down!

Heads up you half and half scarf wankers

Thanks for posting this as I always get one at our most important games.

No genuine West Ham fan would get a half and half scarf unless they are five years old or a Spurs wanker.

Isn't that right you wanker?

Your mrs gives a good five knuckle shuffle

First game for me since we lost to Blackburn in the League cup.
Hope that's not an omen!  I'll go 2-2! COYI!

I would like to point out at this juncture, that having been to many West Ham v Spurs games over the last 60 or so years, In my considered opinion, I would say that spurs fans are cunts. 

This is their players celebrating after beating us, a team they don't give a fuck about.

Not sure why anyone would want AWB in, he's been awful preseason and the start of this season. 

Thanks for pointing that out, CS. My mistake - I meant to put KWP in there. Agreed - AWB has been poor so far. Curse of HotY.

Fair enough, time will tell. Fans of clubs are usually a good marker that's all. They would have watched him for years as opposed to our lot seeing him on youtube for 90 secs. 

If he plays and he can get around the pitch, it might open up 3-4-3 again having two lads in midfield who can cover ground and more competent and brave on the ball. 

He's played 50 games so doubt they've watched him for years... But yes time will tell, 

His last 90 mins was back in January. He struggled with injury and the maybe some form as he was mainly a sub 2nd half of the season. His final game they lost 4-0 and he got sent off on 52 mins. That's also a reason why I would be surprised to see Potter throw him in. 

But if he does I hope he sends Kudus into the Bobby Moore stand at some point.

Just go on the Monaco announcement tweet for his departure and translate the posts from their fans. They were how I assume ours will be when we sell Guido or JWP. 

It's quite the opposite on their instagram page. Only one negative comment, all the others said they were stupid to get rid of him.

Be very surprised if Magassa starts also.  Monaco fans were hardly complimentary about him, throwing him against Spurs is a big call.  It will be JWP or Soucek 

Do you reckon Potter has been on their forum and asked them? 

He's quite highly rated and we scouted him and obviously rate him maybe so much that we didn't step aside for the decent Sangare, he may not start but I doubt it will be because Potter doesn't think he's good enough.

Chucking him in against Spurs at home will be a surprise for me, especially after JWP and Soucek started in a 3-0 win. Potter isn't exactly a big risk taker is he. 

Are they also like some of our fans when we signed Fernandes....

Not to mention other teams were in for him, if only some were in for JWP... 

He had the most recoveries in their whole league he's young

Can't see why he wouldn't start, unless he's injured or looked gash in training. He wouldn't have to be all that to be an effective replacement for JWP or Guido as long as he runs tackles and makes a nuisance of himself and more often than not finds a claret shirt with his passes. Potter hasn't been shy in starting new signings he percieves as being an upgrade/

Absolutely diabolical in every single game.

Also strange why people would choose him, when KWP has played so well. Probably been our most consistent performer in the minutes he's been on the pitch, hasn't put a foot wrong. Been very impressed.

Hermansen

AWB    Mavro.   Kilman.   Diouf

Fernandes.  Magassa.  Paqueta

Bowen.   Wilson.   Summerville 

Stubbo - there's no way he isn't playing Wilson up front. (Better wrap him in cotton wool til Saturday and leave him out of the warm-up.)

This

Depends how we line up. Giving Potter the benefit of the doubt I’m gonna go for a 3-2 win. I expect there to be plenty of goals and goal mouth action at both ends.

[nychammer]

Heart says continued improvement and 2-1, head says an ok performance but we make silly mistakes at the back 1-2
