West Ham Online

A game not dissimilar to last week's encounter with Spurs, against a team that has had a terrible season by their standards.

There are many parallels to us, with them hiring a new manager that prefers to play a back 3, and it not going well at all...but with most of the fan base hanging onto the fact they're 'not his players'.

Sadly though one of either our opponents last week or this week will end up playing in the Champions League next season. Whilst we'll end up with a squad decimated by the loss of our saleable stars, punts on a load of unknown foreigners, journeymen, and lower league hopes, and Cock Piss Potter clinging to Premier League survival.

Anyway, this game...with Man Utd having played Thursday, we should have the edge in terms of energy, but at the same time they have a reason to stay sharp, and we have a squad more than likely already on the beach, along with on going rumours of squad friction and divide.

Prediction:

Away at Old Trafford, Potter's side are in an undesirable patter of draw-loss-draw-loss....and last time out was a draw.

So...predict a limp defeat here. 0-2.

Lineup.

At this point it feels somewhat immaterial who pulls on the shirt, but likely a lot will depend on if Paqueta is in the right frame of mind to play with more of his Kangaroo Court Case looming.Feels like only two positions are debatable...does the error strewn 40m Kilman keep his spot over equally error strewn Mavropanos, and is Paqueta good to go.  Other than that the team looks like picking itself.

And there's me thinking this was a man utd west ham thread.
Couldn't get excited over that performance we've been missing all season and decide to treat this match as the cup final.
Pretty disgusting if you ask me

It’s always great to win at OT so that was a very nice surprise. A good all round performance from the team and hats off to Potter. 
Really pleased for the away following today and great to see us go above Manu and Sp*rs.

I saw that, he came on the pitch and gave Nuno a piece of his mind, having said that I would  not be best pleased as the amount invested and they have literally tossed CL away.

iron Duke.

It's because he's 'one of theirs'

No one from that City is ever allowed to want something that doesn't serve that football club.

Precious cunts!

Nice to win though. It would be great if we could take this into the final two games, while giving a couple of youngsters a few minutes on the pitch.

Liverpool showing their class boing TAA. He’s going to Real Madrid FFS, not Man Utd.

Just on the train back to London.

Best away day of the season

irons!

An easy win vs a very poor Utd…

But we were not so good second half…

Areola saved us with a couple of great saves".

I’m hoping Potter will kick on and improve results going forward…

onwards and Upwards…

And a POSITIVE ATTITUDE at Pressers…FFS…




 

Always great to win at Old Trafford. 

Wildly out-of-form Forest next, and Ipswich on the final day.

A real chance to end the season with 3 straight wins, which of course won’t happen.

Was at a family birthday today so missed the game.
were we any good or were they awful?

It’s all or nothing one match for them. For the winners it’s the riches of the champions league, for the losers it’s surely the sack for their manager and back to the drawing board. The lesser of two evils would be Man U bit on today’s evidence they will struggle

Can’t complain really. First time under Potter where I thought we dominated. We didn’t have to get out of 2nd gear really. 
Our 1st goal was well worked. It looked like there was a sort of plan there, that backheel to start the move was great. 

But I have to say I’ve never seen a shittier Utd side. And the league form was 16th vs 17th. So we all have to be calm here. 

in reality Man Utd didn’t press much, didn’t move around fast enough etc to give us any real problems. Other teams do not play like that so I still dont know what we are building on here. 
Also, his subs brought them back in the game which was weird. 

but we won. Convincingly. I can stop taking the Valium this weekend…

Subs again were a bit flaky. I dont know why bowen went off as i only had radio commentary here, did he get a knock? 




 

No injury, he went off with the hump having not long scoring our 2nd.

How do you know he had the hump? 

My youngest son has just texted me to say that this is clearly a late push for a European spot.

Have to be happy with any win at Old Trafford but don't think we've turned a corner after this.

Nice to see those detestable cunts sitting bottom of all the London clubs.
