West Ham Online

"WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs LIVERPOOL (1230) Never an easy visit, but the Reds should be way too strong for Gary O’Neil’s side today. The hosts will look to climb away from the bottom while the visitors have their sights set on the opposite direction. Away win. ASTON VILLA vs CRYSTAL PALACE (1500) Villa under Emery have shown themselves capable of some decent, attractive, attacking football. Palace, the perennial spoilers, travel to Birmingham to show what they’re capable of. Probably not enough, though. Home win. FULHAM vs LUTON TOWN (1500) Leading contender for borefest of the weekend in all four divisions. Luton are yet to register a point on their return to the top division and there’s little to suggest that will change today. Home win. MANCHESTER UNTED vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1500) This could be a cracker. Although media eyes have been glued on Maguire and Sancho, there’s a decent game of football on the cards at Old Trafford. Draw. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs SHEFFIELD UNITED (1500) Spurs have made an excellent start to life under Ange Postecoglou and will look to consolidate their chase of current leaders Man City. Sheffield have amassed just a point so far. The Cocks are likely to be far too sharp for the Blades today. Home win. WEST HAM UNITED vs MANCHESTER CITY (1500) There have been few occasions in recent seasons when you could say that we have a sporting chance of a point or more from this fixture. If we hadn’t conceded a late equaliser at Bournemouth on the opening day, we’d be level on points with today’s visitors. Stones, Kovacic and the ever-irritating Grealish are out for City, but such is the strength of their squad that their absence is unlikely to have a significant weakening effect. Both sides are quick and dangerous on the break. Ward-Prowse has already shown his value on set pieces and that could come in handy again today. Moyes will have to choose between Antonio and Kudus to lead the line – or will he be ultra-brave and pick both? No, don’t be daft. With both sides high on confidence and capable of goals, an intriguing contest is in store. Draw. NEWCASTLE UNITED vs BRENTFORD (1730) The hosts go into this six places below their visitors, but despite a slow start to the season they will be definite favourites. The Bees should not be underestimated, though, and will provide a tough opposition. Home win. *SUNDAY* BOURNEMOUTH vs CHELSEA (1400) Chelsea haven’t made the best start under Pochettino and currently sit in 12th spot, two points above the Cherries. If they can’t win at the Vitality, storm clouds may soon appear over west London. Away win. EVERTON vs ARSENAL (1630) Another terrible start to the season from the Toffees is not the best preparation for the visit of Arsenal. The status quo is set to remain unchanged. Away win. *MONDAY* NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs BURNLEY (1945) After their phenomenal sojourn in the Championship, many people would have expected more – much more – from Burnley on their return to the Premier League. Instead, the Clarets are rock bottom of the table with null points and eight goals conceded. Forest, meanwhile, are one point away from a European qualification place. Funny old world. Draw. *CHAMPIONSHIP* Leicester romped to victory and top spot at St Mary’s on Friday, but the top part of the Championship already looks as tight as ever with a mere three points separating second from seventh. Expect that trend to continue for much of the season. At the other end, Michael Carrick’s Boro are resolutely bottom, having gained just a single point from their opening five games. Carrick will take some succour from the duck’s arse that also characterises the table’s nether region, with three points again all that keeps the bottom six apart. Also expect Boro to be chasing a promotion spot before long. Another tense and exciting season appears in store in the second tier."

When did it become a thing to do minutes silence for things in other countries?

Millwall v Leeds might be worth a watch

"That Melissa bird on Sky Sports, that speaks with the slow deliberate voice is so fucking irritating"

"Man Utd won't want to sack Ten Haag since he is meant to finally be the right man to stay and build and you can't keep sacking managers (unless you're Chelsea) but agree he looks out of his depth and you can see it in him now, it's a fucking massive job and it's too big for him. Writing firmly on the wall."

"Two very debatable penalties today. Newcastle and Villa both very lucky to get them. Delighted to see that twonk of a goalkeeper at Man Utd letting in more. They've been massively ripped off. At least he's good at passing though. Ten Hag saying that the crowd booing was good to hear is hilarious. He's way out of his depth, and continues to alienate highly paid players."

That was a fucking soft penalty

"Just before the 90 minute mark I was about to write that both Tottenham & Man U getting rinsed at home somewhat takes some of the rawness out of our loss, then the lillywhite cunts turned it around. Still; keeps my acca alive though - just need Arsenal & Nottingham Forest to deliver and I get a whopping 35 quid!!!"

"Ten hag is in over his head. Job is too big for him. Strikes me as one of those arrogant blokes who always reckons he’s the smartest guy in any room he’s in. Spent a fortune on a load of bang average shit and is mismanaging and alienating a number of his players. Got lucky last season with a relatively very weak PL but frankly his team look pretty poor and he’s not getting the best out of the good players he’s got. I’d fancy our chances against them home or away. Still, as long as Gary Neville reckons he’s the messiah…."

...H??jlund

"Watched a bit of the 2nd half of Manure vs Brighton. Ten Hag is in a spot of bother up there. Took off H??jberg and the crowd DID NOT LIKE IT one bit...just seems very stubborn, maybe too stubborn ?? Brighton took the absolute piss out them for the 2nd & 3rd"

2-1 spurs in the 8th and 10th minutes of injury time

"Wolves problem has been there for years now, not converting enough chances."

"As I was saying, you simply can't miss chances like that. Never seen an OG celebrated like that before, stupid curly haired cսnt."

"As I was saying, you simply can't miss chances like that. Never seen an OG celebrated like that before, stupid curly haired cսnt."

"Look at GON team going for it, why can’t we be more like them? Oh dear."

Why do teams when the get so much success attacking. The.sit back and let teams back into the game.

"L'pool won't be as bad 2nd half, Wolves will likely regret missing that sitter."

League

Yep shows off what you can do if you don’t sit off the so called top teams. “ checks leave table “

"Yep could have had a couple, shows what can happen if you don’t sit off so called better teams."

Impressive start for GON's Wolves. 1 up. Liverpool a shambles at the back

Highlight of the day will probably be Crouchy stacking it live on TNT sport doing the crossbar challenge. That’ll get replayed once or twice.

I fancy Everton to upset arsenal.

"BRANDED - Yep, very likely. I think our best chance may be that we are catching them at the right time, i.e after the break, Pep has been out injured himself, and they have a few key players out, not to mention we're in good nick ourselves. Anyway.. 0-3"

For us to draw we’ll need to score at least two goals. I’m looking forward to a hot sunny day at the London.
