Wot Quids said - i think Nolan should be got rid of now - he can't play in anything other than a lump-it-and-see style; Noble used in his stead is far more effective and works better with the rest of the midfield - not going to rehearse same old reasons most WH fans I know still want BFS gone, except to say there are still a lot of good things happening despite rather than because of his decisions.

In my 'Fantasy World' we would have tried to entice Pardew back before he joined CP.

My "ungrateful bollix" phrase was intended as a Roddy Doyle-esque quip last night - but rereading it this morning it looks more like a straight insult, so I'm holding myhadns up here and offer an apology


It's odd me trying to defend BFS as I don't like the man very much but the vitriol lobbed his way constantly surprises me


Just as the Wenger Out brigade at my club appall me in their vitriol too...

I thought SJ was saying that the vitriol each receives from their own fans was comparable, nothing to do with their managerial skills/legacy.


I think sometimes too much credence is given to systems/formations. 10 mins of watching Sky punditry and everyone is suddenly a tactical genius. I watched the game, West Ham looked hungover and lethargic after the highs and exertions of their mid-week Cup win. Second best to 50/50's, the defence, in particular Tomkins, run ragged. It doesn't matter what system is played, if a team isn't up for it, they're not going to perform. Something a good old fashioned half-time rollicking and an orange put right. West Ham might have been in the top 4 with a different manager, but equally they could've ended up in the Championship if they had sacked him this time last year...

I don't think it's vitriol, it's two parts frustration erm, probably another two parts distaste.

He doesn't make me angry or hateful, he makes me depressed*


I reckon we should get that Setphanie Roche as the new gaffer. At least the post match interviews would be less stomach churning.


*pedro syndrome, everything good is my genius, everything bad is everyone else's fault

Its been an amazing turnaround at west ham - a matter of 6 months ago there was a big defeat and I thought BFS would be gone but he hung in there.


I'm surprised at Downing's transformation too - he looked fantastic in central midfield on MOTD.


BFS has to take the credit even if he does operate an unsophisticated plan A. And I agree the first half tactics looked a bit agricultural compared to the second half but maybe you have to soften the opposition up first.

I'm sure that was the plan Mick.


''Don't worry lads, Hull's pressing game will eventually knacker 'em out by 'alf-time, then we'll stick to 'em in the 2nd 'alf...''


Tactical genius...

No he doesn't, he could give some to his players and his coaching staff (who probably have more to do with the good football they play than he ever will).


BFS doesn't HAVE to take the credit, but he will, every single time.


Cunt!

Nope. I said players playing out of position and/or combinations that don't work - no mention of Tippy Tappy, which I've slagged off before. Sam's simplistic binary is the Strawman here...as EP would say

Had not seen it RD - very interesting and in some ways even I have to admit its somewhat sad - I think many thought that 4 seasons on and Rangers would be back to where they deserve to be fighting it out for the SPL next year - but more are now conceding it will be a long time before they are back at their level of past greatness, as evidenced by their struggle to keep up with Hearts this season.

    • 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....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
