Of course we're going to be weaker, we got relegated.

Might do him good as he might actually get some coaching on distributing the ball out from the back.

Villa have a bid rejected for Enner Valencia.

How much this guy's stock has fallen. I remember him being labelled as being miles better than Debuchy at one point.

Don't be such a mouthbreather man.

What type of injury is it?

With your history it was a good job you stopped where you did...

Agree regarding Hernandez. I'm not convinced Armstrong is ready as of yet and I don't think we can rely purely on Gayle all season as that type of forward. That's not based on Gayle's ability either btw, but more the risk of him being injured.

For the people complaining that we've signed a "plodder", who do they think that we should be buying?

Gary Speed man.

Yes but the olympic stadium needs to be multi-purpose. Aye, my original post did say that West Ham should have just worked with them to find an alternative location for athletics. Having a 60k capacity stadium for athletics which is used infrequently is unsustainable in this country. Athletics would be better off having a smaller venue that they can utilise any time they like, be that at Crystal Palace, land elsewhere in the Olympic park, or even at Upton Park. As it stands we now have 1 venue which isn't all that good for both the sports of athletics and or football instead of two very good venues, 1 for each sport. Yeah having a small stadium for next year's world champs will be really good like.

Started Angels With Dirty Faces yesterday.

The next Julien Faubert.

Watching the marathon and Brendan Foster has just asked Steve Cram if he has any football news for him from today.

For the money they spent on him I don't think so.

David Hirst style.

Surprised he hasn't given the Jormans two yellows. Those Bender brothers have committed about 6 or 7 petty fouls. Germany has hit the crossbar three times. Very good games, but be very surprised if Germany doesn't score at least once. They're just trying (although unsuccessfully) to beat Fernandinho's 2014 record of fouls conceded without getting sent off.

This Brazilian U23 side seem to have a bit of that old swagger about them you always used to expect whenever you saw Brazil play.

Class goal from a pure striking perspective like. Love having that pacey option up top so we can hit teams on the counter.

Really well taken goal by Gayle that. Nice ball over the top from Diame as well. Love a good goal on the break.

Pure MDL with all of that slap on.

Can see the total melt doing an Odemwingie on deadline day like.

Absolutely this.

The cult of personality that surrounds Joe Hart from some of the media is baffling like. Especially compared to the way that they've hung past England goalkeepers out to dry.
