Alan Medic Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well look at Palace. Pulis is a hero I expect for rescuing a team from certain relegation. He left Stoke because they were bored with PL mid tableness. This West Ham academy of football is now a myth. When did you last play up to your expectations? Frankly Man City play the football we like now and we know why. Money. They can buy great players and have a manager who can mould them into a team.After that there are clubs who aren't quite there yet and who may never be. Liverpool and Everton are examples. Arsenal,Chelsea & United will improve. But WH's aims are to stay in the PL. If moving to the Olympic Stadium changes their profile then maybe they too can hope for top 4 status. However, only one team can win the league and finishing 4th shouldn't be any consolation. I blame UEFA for that.

???? Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 West ham are a bigger team than palace and stoke in terms of resources, support and heritage ( academy or not), we should be aspiring to more than them. BFS can,t even attract decent players to us, his tactics are one dimensional he,s made a hash of transfers with a pretty good budget, he's been rude about our support....where do we start on what a failure he,s been for long term progress for west ham, especially this season. A lucky play off victory, thanks Sam now fuck off.I still think we,ll be lucky to stay up this season.

Otta Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 IF Liverpool win tomorrow (and Liverpool being Liverpool it is an IF), that will out Man U 9 points behind 4th place. Which is a big gap to make up (although not impossible).

red devil Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Too big a gap imo. With City and Chelsea playing each other, Liverpool could also close the gap on one or both of them.I still think Liverpool will have a big say in who does/doesn't win the League, as they have to play the top 3 at home, where their record is very good...

Mick Mac Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Carroll knocks down for Nolan to score. Toshack knocks down for Keegan to score. 19 th century football. Not a lot wrong with that.

red devil Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You have to hand it to Mourinho, very rarely loses the big games. I thought Matic was outstanding, you don't often see Toure come out second best, make that 3rd as Luis had a very good game too, much better midfielder than defender...

maxxi Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Before the Swansea game I was hoping a manager would be sacked after it as a result of the result... *sigh* Life's way of pissing in your satchel.
