Ive been a west ham fan since 1966
When in my little boy mind i realised west ham just won the world cup with some other england players
Always great to watch they are either brilliant or terrible
Never dull
Preferred Upton park but things change
The ironic thing with old school west ham was Upton park was a little bit racist but then we signed clive best how things change

Upton Park was a great ground and intimidating for the opposition but I find the new place too big (especially when it's not full), fans too far from the pitch and when things aren't going right, too quiet. I know they played away today but I wonder if playing in an empty stadium at home actually helps the West Ham players?
lamela is a total disgrace to both Spurs and what was used to be a “ mans “ game:grief:
AgreedQuote:

I blame you for this - if you weren’t so helpful I’d have saved £9.99 :la:Quote:

We then walked over to the side of the bar and removed our bike jackets to reveal our bright yellow Watford shirts.Quote:

The first and only time I’ve been in The Boleyn, and I will always be grateful that the locals took pity on two skinny little Watford wallies, and released us unharmed.
I can’t remember the score in the match, but we definitely had a result that day.
Is Roy Keane doing any punditry today? If yes, can’t wait to catch it later.

Amen.
I have to agree with you there, I think Bale will have a point to prove too.Quote:

I'll take that result today. Very happy COYS
No, Pogba, Maguire, Jones, Shaw, Bailly, Lindelof, De Gea, Rojo must be exitedQuote:

Update nice goal from Salah.
Good job Spurs have Bale to step in, now that Lamela is likely to be out for months with the broken jaw he sustained in today’s unprovoked violent assault.Quote:

I said a few days ago that the defending is shocking and never has that been highlighted more than today some crazy results
Clearly. But at least they didn’t spend any money in doing so...Quote:

Just laughing at scum and the bindippers.
I'm starting to like the premiership again.
Is there anything better than watching Liverpool get spanked, I think not

The last few days have shown that anything is possible - City losing 5-2, Leicester losing 3-0, the Utd and Liverpool batterings. The teams in form now are Everton and Spurs but I expect everyone to drop points in what could be the most up and down PL race ever. As GOAT said, in the grand scheme of things it's only 3 points dropped but for Liverpool it's a big wake up call that everything is not ok and key players need to take responsibility on the pitch when things aren't going well. I think we miss the leadership of Henderson and now with Alisson, Thiago and Mane out for a while it's going to be a difficult period.
+1 although our next game is against Liverpool and our record over the last 20 years is not good. I'm hoping Carlo's influence and new players who have no idea what a Merseyside Derby is will help stop our usual crumbling performance.Quote:

Well a crazy Sunday of football! Arsenal was a painful match to watch but we won. Always thought Spurs would win at Man U but not by 6! Liverpool was a crazy score and it could have been so many more if Watkins had scored with his other good chances. Grealish and Barkley are a good duo to have in midfield if they can keep fit.
One of my friends is a huge bluenose and we were chatting before the season started . He’d already given up on their chances but I was praising Ancelotti and the influence he would have to bring big names in . Alongside some of their own coming good , the future looks good for them .Quote:

Everton have got Godfrey in now and he looks a player.
If they can get a new keeper and a striker they will be in the mix challenging the top 4.
Feel sorry for the fans with the covid situation Goodison would have been bouncing !

I think the target this year should be a domestic cup and not worry so much about Europe. We can't go from being crap to a Champions league place in one season, Carlo probably needs another transfer window and some time to identify those who he needs to let go to truely get the team playing his way. Even Klopp took a couple of seasons to get Liverpool how he wanted them.Quote:

Not great as I'm a Sheffield Wednesday fan. Starting on -12 doesn't help!
I’ve seen some of the worst and best managers at Chelsea from Danny Blanchflower to Conte, but Ancelotti has been the greatest we’ve had IMHO. To this day I’ll never understand the reason to sack him?Quote:

Biggest disappointment was that Nkeith is still there, and could have shifted a few more players out to reduce the wage bill.
Still looking like it could be a good season for Arsenal, outside chance of a top 4 finish.
How much would you have shaved off the wage bill just by loaning out/paying off Mesut Özil? I read somewhere that he’s on £300-£350,000 per week. As a Celtic supporter, I’m pleased to see that Kieran Tierney isn’t out of place in the English top flight.Quote:

I'm still hoping there's money in Aston Villa's purse to bring in another striker and winger. We have Trezeguet on the right with Traore for backup but El Ghazi isn't really up to scratch if anything happens to Grealish (or we try changing formation). Benrahma would be a great addition. I suspect we'll end up with Josh King from Bournemouth, we have Kienan Davis as Ollie Watkins' backup up front and while he's a fantastic prospect he really needs a season in the Championship on loan to get firing. But then we do still have Brazilian striker Wesley coming back from injury. Selling Samata last week does seem to suggest we might have someone else coming in, we'll see.
Ollie Watkins in just the Liverpool match scored half as many goals as all our strikers scored in the PL last season. We have the defence and midfield, we just need to make sure we have the strikers scoring too.
