Guess the fear is it will be sold out instantly.

Can't speak for everyone but for me it's just because I don't see any reason that Gordon couldn't do basically the same job on the right (replacing a crap player in Murphy) while Barnes is probably our most dangerous attacker and is much better on the left. Since we have so many games it's less important I guess, they can't all start every game anyway.

No idea which united he means though.

Well yeah, occasionally there is but it's not the norm. I didn't mean it literally

He wouldn't even start in our current midfield.

I mean, it's on the shelf until it's not, I guess.

Biggest tragedy of my life is having that maroon top signed by Keegan and his entire squad. Mam insisted on continuously washing it until the signatures all disappeared.

There’s no way for anyone to go to the match with another person

West Ham looks daft in any league.

And people forget he’s actually been good

Us lanky lads can cover ground m8.

Knew he was good but not sure I realised how good.

Formation is not that important IMO, much more about patterns of play and movement. Not that I know enough to judge that either.

Me too but I just thought they had decided to stick with it.

Yeah, it doesn't work but it kind of has to work. Since managers can't possibly have the range and depth of transfer targets needed. It'll never be perfect though, massive egos and dodgy dealers involved in football at every level.

Oh sure, I know he was ultimately pretty crap, as was Ten H, but I just assumed they were OK with that.

He probably doesn't mean Howe TBF, must be another Eddie I can't think of.

Feels a bit strange to persist with Amorim for so long and sack mid-season.

I wouldn't say I'm confident but all your points are right and I really hope he can get his head right to succeed here.

He’ll probably be manager

IIRC Wijnaldum was relatively lazy and only performed in big games. But TBF I have tried to forget that whole era.

Yeah, it would annoy me a bit if he's permanently a sub because he's been the most interesting thing about the season. But, there's really no rush and he has everything to be a top player. There were signs with those previous 2 goals that he was being told to get on the end of things in the box more. Overall our problems were with the team rather than Wissa v Woltemade, but I can see why Eddie would go with the proven PL scorer for a while.

Our results have never really been as bad as the performances and mood suggest TBH. If we'd not lost the derby I don't think it would ever have reached the levels of concern it did. Said it before it reminds me a bit of the relegation survival season. Looked dire but we were never that many points off safety, and we never gave up.

Think Big Nick could start, dunno.

For missing a chance when we'd already won? People never cease to amaze.
