What are the odds on getting a smile out of Jose this evening?
And, we’re off.......2018/2019
- Thread starter Fish
- Start date
When you take a step back you remember the team is very strong, really strong. What damage is he doing psychologically to them though?
Now you’re just being a tease 😜
And if your were to drop out of the top 4 with no CL, then tell us how important that 60-70m would have been.
The same as me being the centrefold in Men’s Health magazine 😳

City won the league yet because everyone else around them strengthened they needed to add someone to the squad to replace aging players and give more options.. welcome mahrez
Scattergun? So we needed a gk, a right back urgently .. welcome Fredericks and Fabianski
We needed better centre backs .. MP asked for diop and the general
We needed much better midfielders we got Wilshere , Anderson and the one I won’t attempt to spell.. from Germany
We signed Perez last day of window for a bargain 4 million.. goal or assist every 3 games accross his career and last season created second most chances in La Liga only beaten by Messi
Sanchez is a cheap back up defensive midfielder to cover rice
I’d say that’s very targeted signings
Add those to arnie .. Antonio.. Hernandez .. and that’s some attacking force with a solid passing ethos
Top 10 this season without a shadow

Not quoting everyone from the previous page but you chaps are grossly underrating Lamela. He has real quality and tenacity, and gives us something different to the other attackers. Lucas will be showing a lot more this season as well I'm sure. Poch always eases players in slowly.
I can't argue on Llorente, he is rubbish. But I don't feel he'll get the nod if Kane is missing, it'll be Son up top with Lucas or Lamela coming in, which I'm absolutely fine with.
Pauljames - it sounds like you needed an entirely new team! I know last season wasn't great but was it that bad you needed that many?? Just seems like overkill. It may work, the manager has a job on his hands though. But you have got a good manager.

if you don't add in this league you stand still like I said so half our players were needed and half are to add depth
our first 11 last season was decent.. however soon as injuries happen we are down to bringing in not up to standard players
now we have depth in each positon
for example
GK Fabianski / Adrian
RB Fredericks / Zabs
LB Cresswell / Arthur
CB Diop / Reid (injured already)
CB Ogbonna /Balbuena
DM Rice / Sanchez
CM Wilshere / Obiang
CM Noble / Fernandez
RW Anderson / Antonio
LW Yarmolenko / Snodgrass
AM Lanzini (injured) / Perez
ST Arnie / Hernandez
that's without counting Carroll who prob wont play again
also a lot of these players can play in diff positions and have a free flowing attacking line
rice can fill in at CB if needed
going to be much better to see Perez coming off the bench or Antonio rather than Hugil (no offence to him ofc)

I feel that this man is giving us older, wiser, scarred by bitter experience West ham fans a bad name...
Shut up and be miserable like the rest of us, and only celebrate when it turns out there really are 3 teams worse than us...

Spurs off and running, 3 points in the bag. Happy with that as we don't have a good record at Newcastle. 👍

Always good to get points away at Newcastle
Was surprised with just how many of the World Cup players actually played today
You won there last season 2-0 didnt you?

Yes after Shelvey got sent off, but our record there is not great
Scrappy first half but 2-0 up, much more conviction in this second half from Chelsea.
Interesting starting 11, bloody Luiz still really worries me though, even in a back 4 which we’ve adopted today for the first time in nearly 3 years!
Watford goals are very well taken ðŸ‘

Really expected Fulham to do better today (still time ofc) but palace hats off to them. Zaha again coming up with the goods
Even tho players can be sold to Europe I don’t see many leaving as Europe only really can afford a few players.. ie Madrid and Barca only ones who can match the wages .. so unless Madrid come in for kane, salah or hazard then this is it until January
I like it.. settled teams and no excuses

This ref is very card happy. Just about a foul, possible yellow, definitely not a red.

Thought he got the ball first then caught the Wolves player, shocking decision to send him off!

He did get the ball first. Red card has completely turned the game. Pickford should have saved the FK as well.
