Stoke boss Tony Pulis believes Demba Ba is an accident waiting to happen after West Ham agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal for the Senegal striker. Ba's ?7.1m move to Stoke collapsed when he failed a medical because of a knee injury, and Pulis said he could not have gone through with the deal in good faith.


No sour grapes there then.

If he just scores one more goal for us and it keeps us up it's money well spent!

I wondered how much of a risk West Ham were taking given Stoke had turned him down because of his knee problem, but if he continues with his 'shoot on sight'* policy, should go a long way towards saving West Ham. And yes, Pulis is probably bitter about a couple of results going against him of late.


* insert cheap Ashley Cole joke of choice here.

Pulis is Hedging in case of two Ba hatricks in their two games against us coming up

Can only presume that as Carew is on loan his dodgy knees weren't subject to a medical.


Forgot you had two games against them - Britannia Stadium's such a nice place to visit.

Dead right we need to be careful. Too many players carrying knocks for too long and today was a very bad day at the office (cliche no.33 in a series of...). Rumours we are prepared to throw our FAC QF at home against Bolton next week (obviously not official rumours).


Wigan yep. Wolves and Blackburn the other two.

You Hammers fans should beware of Tottenham Hotspur losing to Wolves tomorrow. These are the sort of fixtures that are our particular type of banana skin especially as some of the players may well be thinking about the AC Milan game next week. Obviously, I'm sincerely hoping we win both but I know only too well what we're like.
Good to see that, according to the BBC website, Rooney decided to administer his own punsishment for that latest act of thuggery; "Last month Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney went unpunished by referee Mark Clattenburg after appearing to elbow Wayne Rooney for elbowing Wigan's James McCarthy."

Ummm... Narnia go back and read my post again. I'm certainly not underestimating them.

I think you should read your post again Jah.Banana skin suggests a superiority complex. Wolves are better than that.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
