May as well get going with this since with Sullivan at the helm, season ticket renewals slow, and the football vacuum to commence, this will soon be all the "news" there is.
Can Potter and MacCauley pull multiple rabbits out of the hat, or will Sullivan 'try really hard' with all of them before grabbing a few aging bargains from Big Willie Salthouse?

I like Geo and Gonzo. Good banter.
We have been shit and they agree,
Apart from Bowen and WB there's nothing good about the team,maybe Scarles involvement but Potter won't let him attack any decent manager would have watched him and allow him to go on a run.
Chris on Bobby Moore Stand is good.
Can't stand him, a boring, humorless, smug prick. Doesn't know his West Ham history either. A month or so back he was slagging fans off for not getting behind Potter, now he's doing it himself with no trace of self awareness at all. Gary's a proper melt too.
Others that I have seen in recent times:
Mark from the West Ham Way I find alright, yes he's a bit of a fairy, but he speaks well and his vids are not too long.
I like Geo, solid bloke, knows his onions too. Gonzo is nice enough but a bit of a nob, and another that doesn't know his history.
James from E20 can be good and he makes me laugh sometimes with his ott aggression.
Nick from C&B - A strange one, can talk a lot of sense sometimes, then spouts utter shit other times.
The fat fella on the Network can be alright and does some good stuff, but well connected to the club so never going to go all in. Don't like the Jock who is on there sometimes.
WHFTV is boring now, have lost their way Nicky is good doing the fan cams, but mainly talks total bollocks in the regular vids.

Man U not fucking about with Cunha I see, nor wasting any time. Tried briefly to mess Wolves around with a silly proposal over payments but then soon stopped playing silly buggers when Wolves told them to behave.
Sullivan take fucking note.

Nick can be a bell end but I agreed with him about Moyes and Loppy. Now Potter too.
But I can't stand his love in with Paqueta,Alvarez and Emerson. All have been shIt for 18 months.
None would get into a top 6 team currently on their performances.
Yellow cards,red cards,no assists and a couple of goals between them.
We all know how shit the 3 Statues have been in midfield but those 3 are experienced internationals who provide diddly squat.

In some ways I wish there were no rumours or ITKs as it would arguably be easier to get deals done without other clubs being alerted. So I was thinking we now have a small team identifying targets which is Macaulay with a handful of data analysts and of course Potter would know. So these ITKs, Roshane Thomas, journos and this Ex fella where they getting the info ? Agents? Or is the Sullivan family? Does us no favours but always been the same. I suppose it suits Sullivan as it might generate excitement and what he really worries about which is season tickets revenue?

Yeah I like that CnB fella too. Calls a lot of it right and is also pushing the petition to get traction as well. There is generally a night and day comparison when it comes to any of these West Ham fan YouTube whatsits when compared to those on Arsenal Fan TV or the soppy Spurs wanker that do theirs.

Hype.! Fucking hell goose. Don't let any of the Sullivan Shill Merchants over on YT see that word. It would be the biggest shortage of Kleenex. This side of the cough you can't mention.
Talking of YT, I've listened to a few things of late. Fucking hell that Gio is a miserable bloke isn't he. Constant doom and gloom and looking at the potential downside of everything.
The Bobby Moore stand is worse, he moans a lot, makes shit up and clearly hasn't got a clue what he is doing.
West Ham fan TV is the best.
I'll always have a soft spot for Claret and Booze...mostly because the bloke isn't trying to do it as a job and clearly loves the club. Doesn't run adverts. And 80% of the time my views align with him on the state of the Club.

Because everything is rosy and brilliant at the moment?
He's the only one I can stomach as he tends to see things exactly how they are.
Who said everything is rosy and brilliant?
It’s just constant negativity all the time though. Fair enough if you want to wallow I guess.

Todibo is the worst CB we've ever had by some distance, couldn't believe how bad he was v Ipswich, he didn't even look like a footballer.
Very puzzling.
Really? There's some pretty strong competition for that title. I don't think he's even the worst we have in the team at the moment, let alone all time. This is not to say he's good. Being our best centre back at the moment is the equvialent of winning gold at the special olympics.
Out of the three CBs Kilman is the worse, Mavroricket second and Todibo the best of a very bad set

Now, if we're debating players in our squad who don't give a fuck, Todibo would be top of that list.
Clearly couldn't care less about playing for West Ham.

Our goal difference is 0 since Potter been here. Aguerd ain’t coming back. And unless someone comes in with a silly offer. The other 2 ain’t leaving. The money will go on the midfield. And a striker. The Youth will fill any gaps.
I think that's been more to do with us playing 8 at the back.

Apparently, even Sociedad don't want Aguerd, as he's been shit the 2nd half of the season, so you might get your wish.
Would there be a worse collection of centre backs in the Premier League than Aguerd, Kilman, Todibo & Mavropanos? £120mil worth of defenders there, and I'd sooner have Dawson back on his own in a back 1 than any combination of them on the pitch.

Kilman was pretty lucky to stay on the pitch, I thought.
God knows what he was thinking when he went in with his elbow like that.

I really hope the rumours about Todibo being parked here for a season are true. Cash in on him and Aguerd and get two proper defenders who want to head, tackle, mark players etc etc.
Kilman hasn't been great either but i dont see anyone wanting to sign him.

You seem a bit obsessed with these YouTubers...
And you seem a bit obsessed with me!...
This is a discussion forum is it not?
Therefore the point is to reply to other poster's posts, if replying to yours makes me obsessed then yes I'm guilty

Emerson has put out on SOCIAL MEDIA:
'Time is the answer for everything'
Seeing as he wasn't even in the match day squad at the weekend probably means he's 99% gone this summer. A bit of a shitty way to treat him like that, IMO. Over 100 appearances, and part of the cup winning team.
So it's imperative we get a first team left back in this summer. We can't rely on just Scales there.
I reckon we need a player in every single position, apart from right wing.
