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.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
