West Ham


Jah


Key players not fit yet (we were excellent for 40 mins on Saturday)

Signings - jury's out but a bit underwhelming to be honest -apart from the 2 young ones who are both going to be terrific

Some adjusting to the new stadium & bigger pitch

Not sure why we sold Tomkins

Not panicking but mid-table

Europe was an embarrassment exit ( but may be a blessing)


Olympic Stadium -stewardings awful - not run by club BTW; standing was ignored at UP but now not being ignored (man City had very similar problems if you reacall when they moved; as I said a few weeks back, I'm worried about the potential for trouble when we play the likes of Spurs/Man U/ Chelsea with current away fan arrangements.


Onwards & upwards


PS unlucky with injuries

City were good in the first half, but I felt we backed off far much...Mourinho's liking for zonal marking explains that.

At least he admitted that he goofed playing Lingard and Mikky after both coming back from injuries, and that he shouldn't have changed a winning team.

Smalling was injured and in his absence Blind and Bailly have been good pre-Derby.

A lot of the squad that haven't played much will surely get a run out on Thurs in the Europa League, including Smalling and Rashford.

I thought we came back into the game well and on another day could've got a draw or even a win...

West Ham's first 'big' game is against Arsenal in early Dec, so plenty of time to sort out the stewarding/standing up issue. Not sure if that's classed as high risk but a month later Utd rock up and I hear revenge is in the air for the attack on the Utd bus...

I still love Roy Keane


Speaking on last night?s Champions League Highlights show the former Celt said: ?They need to do a lot better in Europe. Easier said than done, of course.


?But even in qualifying, they were poor. They scraped through.


?The whole mindset has to change. Don?t accept, especially away from home, being the whipping boys of Europe.


?It?s Celtic, a huge club.?


Keane, Martin O?Neill?s international assistant who spent six months at the club in 2006, added: ?When they qualified for the group, the celebrations, for me, were way over the top.


?I actually thought they?d won the competition! People were hugging each other, the manager, the coaches, the players.


?It?s not Altrincham, it?s Celtic!?

At least we get to play at Wembley now and then and have won plenty of trophies there. And it's all going so well at the Tax Free Tesco Stadium isn't it.


West Ham's latest glorious European jaunt has been noted and already laughed at so I won't tread on your toes again by reminding you just how far you got. BTW: What was the name of that team again?

Watching a bit of Soccer Saturday one of the pundits was asked if Liverpool could keep it up. His reply was that he didn't know but last season those teams who played the 'pressing' game (Liverpool & Spurs) ran out of steam in the later stages. Not being in Europe has got to help Liverpool in the league.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
