Hey I've just dug up the interesting bit - who cares if he wraps it up with some praise for Lampard ;-)


Bottom line is, Fletcher, who was given the run around by 18 year Aaron Ramsey last weekend, is talking as if he is a match for elite midfielders. I've got nothing against Fletcher but hell he'd not even get in the Everton or Spurs midfield! Some might say it's ambitious talk, I say his head is in the clouds!

What's gone wrong at the Hammers?


Apart from bad luck, bad buyout and impending financial(again) doom.


James Collins


I think we sold a guy that made Upson good, a real blood and thunder centre half, not pretty (like Terry), but effective.

We will not go down though, much worse around us.




Honest!

Agree on Collins - rumour is we had to sell him as we were hoping to unload Davenport but 'events'. I just don't like looking around for teams that look weaker than us - Wolves and Pompey maybe but then!!! Next week's a crucial one and we've certainly been a bit unlucky at home to Liverpool, Spuds and Everton and careless away at Hull and Sunderland! I guess we've got most of the bottom teams to play still at home but I'm a bit worried about games we could have won or got something out of but haven't...aparently the finacial situation is getting a bit better. I think Upson will go in Jan though.
Hull's penalty for the 3rd goal was an absolute joke decision. When will referees begin to understand that in giving a penalty, they are giving a goal... and you don't give a goal for two players bumping into each other on the edge of the box, neither of them even in possession of the ball.

Liverpool very flat yesterday - barely testing Shay Given. Players were up for it, and City were there for the taking, but the system of putting everything through an unfit Gerrard was too easy to defend. I'd been hoping to see Aquilani or Riera brought on with 5 minutes to go as we pushed for victory but Rafa decided to replace the tired Yossi with another left back.


I've been told that Rafa's contract contains a clause that should Liverpool fail to make the last 16 of the CL he can be dimissed by the Yanks for ?5m (max) (rather than the full ?15m to ?20m).

Just making some observations Mick - I'd not trespass on your territory ;-)


We saw Shay Given on our train yesterday, he looked quite depressed, and looked suicidal when he had a photo with our group! Haha. Although he did have the humour to say Mark Hughes had told them at end of match that City 'should have won' the game.

    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
