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)

Hope hee starts the same side with Wilson instead of the German upfront. German on the bench

With Fullkrug unavailable, our third choice striker has to be Marshall, not someone playing out of their best position, so he should be on the bench and given Wilson is an old crock, he should be ready to come on when Wilson has done his beans. Hopefully after a goal and an assist so he can warrant starting the next match as well.

[Alfs]

The German is injured, so doubt he'll be on the bench.

[Keep dreaming]

5 3 1 - Loss
4 5 1 - Draw

Still tickets on general sale!

We can’t even sell out our biggest game of the season, what a joke of a club we are.

 Yes I’m surprised you haven’t sold all the Villarreal tickets, we would have sold out weeks ago.

That tells you Spurs aren’t a big pull, more their cup final than ours as I’m sure you’ll agree. Same goes for Spurs, their biggest game in years vs Villarreal in Champions league Tuesday and it isn’t sold out either, general sale which is embarrassing !!

I was still getting texts for the match last night.
This is normally a sellout, has everyone gone to the Tommy march instead ?

[Ron Eff]

Must be people in our team that know the buttons to push on Kudus. Not like he doesn’t have history of losing his head. 

Other that that, I’d love someone to put in a good old fashioned reducer, early enough that it might be let go from a yellow card, that leaves him hobbling about and goes off injured. 

Or just keep him on his right foot. 

[ragingbull]

I'm going for a draw,and somebody get those foot stools with collapsible legs just in case.

[GBHammer63]

We have every chance of winning this depending on team selection, Potter has almost everyone available and should be brave, but based on his previous selections I fear he’ll put out more of a sows ear than the potential silk purse. Hard to call, hopefully 2-1⚒

[Fauxstralian]

Magassa hits Kudus with a perfectly timed tackle that fractures his leg in 6 places
Kudus lashes out from a sitting position & is sent off
Carried off for an early bath on a stretcher
With his leg carried off on his Elephant stool

[wanstead_hammer]

We’ll do Marty Feldman and the front wheels 4-1 today.
Diouf to get one of the goals (for us)

C’Mon West Ham!

[Mex Martillo]

My team to WIN

Areola
Walker-Peters , Todido, Kilman,  Diouf
Paqueta, Soucek, Fernandes
Bowen, Wilson, Summerville

Heads up you half and half scarf wankers

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

Are you saying we had a user name and sex change?

[Mex Martillo]

Now 41% say we will win.
I was not expecting that when I voted for a win.

[Trilby55]

1 - 4 

[Leatherhead Hammer]

I'm going for home win 3-1 which goes like this.
Kudos scores for the yids in the 1st half
Bowen equalises just after the half time break 
Paquata puts us in front in the lat 10 minutes of normal time
Kudos puts the icing on the cake with an own goal in injury time

[gpike]

Hope Potter has learnt something from the Forest game and we don't go back to the 5 at the back bollocks 

[Massive Attack]

Spurs were shocking against Bournemouth, so I think we do have a good chance of another victory playing the same way at home. I hope we get a controversial VAR fuck up that decides it for us against them.

[Tomshardware]

Hard to call this, if we are up for it and continue to play as we did against Forest then we have a good chance of taking all 3 points.   

[Fauxstralian]

Think half & half scarves are an abomination but how is banning them going to stop Tottenham fans getting in the home sections?

The only way to do that is to stop selling tickets to them!

[El Scorchio]

I have a feeling it's going to be an absolute fucking clusterfuck getting in tomorrow. Even worse than usual.

[BRANDED]

If its been said then I JUST FUCKING REPEATING IT you cսntWest Ham have banned half-and-half scarves from Saturday's Premier League game with Tottenham.The Hammers say the unusual move is part of "increased security activity" that will take place at the London derby, which kicks off at 17:30 BST.It is one of a number of measures the club have taken "for the safety of all supporters and to prevent any fans of the away club from gaining access to home sections of the stadium".Security staff will confiscate the half-and-half scarves - or any other item featuring the colours or crests of both clubs - before fans enter London Stadium.
