Just been reading this, was quite interesting. FIFA need to change the algorithm, otherwise everyone will cotton on and refuse to play friendlies.

It's not patronising to think Swansea could struggle, like. Been a decent start but they only just stayed up, before selling Sigurdsson and Llorente.

West Ham's upcoming fixtures are superb, on paper. Let's hope they win a few.

As if Wilfried Bony is impressive. He was awful at Stoke last season and poor for Man City before that. Sanches is a coup but he's no Sigurdsson.

Brighton, Huddersfield, Burnley and Swansea should come below us and maybe West Ham/Palace.

Good player.

The last question is a good one, about Rafa leaving.

Let's get Enrique, Bassong and Guthrie so we can relegated as a 2008 nostalgia act. Although I would take Tremoulinas and think we should pursue him, considering he's a left-back.

West Ham's next games: Huddersfield (H) West Brom (A) Spurs (H) Swansea (H) Burnley (A) Brighton (H) Crystal Palace (A) Phew! Although Rafa's advisers could say certain things, then Bilic gets sacked after a win....

Wages wise, there's no way we were ever getting Sturridge or Dzeko. And that's before Sturridge's injury record....

A sell-out doing anything but. I love it.

There's something in that surname

Caulkin's thread is both encouraging and worrying. Because it sounds like he'll stay but doubt he will beyond this season. Sounds like he's rapidly losing all passion for the club, all the things which attracted him to us in the first place.

Did they end up selling Kone?

Habit. A love of self-harming. Foolish hope.

One part of me almost wants us to go down, but then I remember that Ashley doesn't care. It won't affect him. So we may as well just stay up until someone buys him out. 8

Genuinely hope he dies.

Even after 10 years, my worst case scenario was only loaning Kenedy and getting a shitty goalkeeper. That was a pathetic disaster, so I don't know what this can be called.

If the only issue is loan length, that should get sorted out tbh.

It's so fucking obvious, like. Give Rafa another £20m and he'll get us mid-table to a guaranteed £80m - Ashley is even refusing free money. Relegation has a huge financial hit, so Ashley decides not to spend. How did this moron become a billionaire? The bloke just doesn't care, he'd gladly throw away millions just because he can. Probably in a pub right now laughing at us with 'the lads'. Y'know, thousands (maybe millions) die every day and Mike Ashley is still alive. How is that fair?

Rafa will be fuming. Only a takeover will stop him leaving next summer and we'll be lucky to get that far.

Tbh I still think we'll get SOMEONE in - Kenedy, Targett or some late loan. It just won't be enough in terms of quality or quantity.

Don't know how anyone can hate this. Firstly, he's an unwanted high-earner. Secondly, Brighton have a better goalkeeper in Mat Ryan so it's not like Krul is strengthening a relegation rival. If he was anywhere near decent we wouldn't be hoying him around like this.
