[Manuel]

"Looking forward to this now, firstly because it's a Sat 3pm game, and if we win it puts us back in a decent spot, lose and the (rightful) meltdowns on here and elsewhere will be entertaining if not anything else. Don't want a draw. Maybe not a popular view (on here anyway) but I'm pleased the big man is back to give us another option."

[terry-h]

The Scottish chap who has been irritating West Ham fans for too long will no doubt have three strikers on the bench at the start of proceedings today. Round about the 70 minute mark when things have gone ape shit two of them will probably come on to little effect. Mr Moyes please fuck off tonight and return to your other half at Lytham St Anne’s. Your service is no longer required.

[pdcwhu]

Enter Michael Antonio

[1964]

I don't want to see us lose but it may be the worst thing if we win or draw this game.

[wd40]

Moyes will want to win and even put up some fight if we loose plus he will wake up this morning thinking about it As for players who wear the shirt and the badge - who knows what they will bring to the game -shitting on the badge and supporters from a great height of late .

[Alfs]

"A 4-0 defeat, and the sacking of Moyes. Noble to take over as caretaker manager, is my prediction."

[Mickey Rat]

"I suspect you might be right Leonard, Moyes, my preference is for Moyes to go in June if not before but it would be typical for him to win just enough games to get a new bloody contract!"

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"I can't see how we will win another game without Paqueta. All the opposition have to do is keep Kudus quiet and we have absolutely no outlet for anything in the final third, unless we force a corner or freekick. Draw at best but most likely another loss."

[Leonard Hatred]

Time will vindicate me.

[the exile]

"Which bit of you do you want us to stand on, Len? It probably ought to be your bollocks after posting that. Can't see anything good from this, apart from Moyes being closer to his departure. Yes, we've bounced back from bad results before but this looks different and smells different. Some kind of rot has set in."

[Tomshardware]

They will be rubbing their hands together as will every side we play for the remainder of the season.

[RM10]

"I’m not confident we will respond with a win after Sunday, this time."

[northbankboy68]

I will be dismayed if Zouma plays. He is finished and Moyes needs to show some leadership and pick another captain.

[Leonard Hatred]

"There will be a positive reaction to last week's shambles, the team will put in a good performance and we will defeat Nottingham Forest by two goals to one. Stand on me."

[northbankboy68]

"When we lose this, what will be Moyes' excuse? ""Notts Forest played very well, they are a top side and have a very good manager. We are capable of playing much better than this and need ti eliminate mistakes in defence and start taking our chances again."""

[Sir Alf]

"Wonder how many of the 10 names that supported Tommy Potatoe Salad 2nd half against Arsenal will start against Forest? Depends on Antonio but I'm saying at least 8 of the 10. Moyes will leave Zouma out but play Aguerd even though he looks out of place Moyes sit deep and counter team, he will replace Johnson with Kudus I reckon and bring in either Ings or Antonio. Ings I reckon and Antonio on the bench coming on if we are 2 down 2nd half after 70 mins or coming on 80 mins if we are 1 down and 85 mins if we are drawing. Thats about covered it. Predictable? Perish the thought !!"

[boleyn8420]

"You just know after all this Lurch will score on Saturday. Nope, have to stop wearing these claret and blue bins. Moyes has to go, sooner, as in yesterday, or later, as in today. But he will play the same team, tactic (yes singular) and substitutions as he always does. No enthusiasm for a West Ham fixture, how sad is that. Fucking Moyes."

[JAC]

Just leave that useless streak of piss Soucek out of the squad FFS....

[daveyg]

Same team as Arsenal. It was inspired team selection. Genius at work. Maybe rest Bowen for Ings and Cresswell deserves a spot too perhaps for Coufal.

[irisiris95]

...lack lustre passing from back (correction)

[irisiris95]

"All I can say is I want to see a bloody reaction to that farce last weekend. I reckon a few of the boys will be up for that ; Bowen, Kudus, JWP, Alvarez, Emerson amongst others. Time to put the record straight. Defensively aggression has to come up, none of this fannying around at corners & passing from the back. Sort it out Moyes"

[Sir Alf]

"Brady, at Moyes behest, looking to change the club name again but to “Tommy Soucek All Stars”. “They are the masters of deception and the art of football”. “You will be amazed by their deceptive pace and skills with a football”. “You will soon realise, yes they are actually slower and more clumsy than they look!!”. “Hurry and call the Potatoe Salad Bowl ticket office to get you’re seat and a free red nose and clown shoes to match those of you’re heroes”"

[Lee Trundle]

"Can't wait for this. Hardly any possession of the ball. Areola's goal being peppered with shots. Another change at centeback. A load of players playing out of position. A game of ""who's turn is it to play left wing"". Exciting stuff."

[Side of Ham]

A plank of Wood could play and would score......
