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.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
