Better today but his deliveries from set pieces are woeful. He's supposed to be a specialist but in reality he's just shite. Charlie Adams corners in the last ten minutes had us under constant pressure. He's a pub footballer but his set dead ball stuff puts our lads to shame.

I'm guessing some of the seats are removable or retractable. For concerts etc. The Wikipedia page says they host motocross events too, so that's worth spending an extra couple of hundred million dollars. The stadium it replaced apparently had issues with the roof, but it hardly warranted spending £1.6billion on a flashy new gaff. In America it seems their stadiums have a lifespan of no more than a few decades, and with teams being franchises of a league they're holding cities to ransom. Build us a new stadium or we're offski.

Ffs if you really want to jeopardize the takeover, sack the manager. And who are we gonna bring in? Your man who played 400 times for spurs is available.

Sinclair looks like a pint of Guinness.

Mind games had nothing to do with it, Fergie was a monumental bell end.

HTT - if this stays 1-0 til the last few minutes and we nick an equaliser, would you change your mind?

We've been the go to club on slow news days for years. Nowt happening? Let's all laugh at Newcastle. And the clueless neutrals lap it up.

I'd be fyoomin about that place if I was a west ham fan. They were sold a dream that was never gonna materialize, they sold their collective soul.

Yup.

You could talk all night about what makes Rafa great, and not even mention football. He's a phenomenal man who also happens to be a world class coach. We hit the jackpot when he chose to come here.

I'd have him back in a heartbeat man if we could get him for reasonable money, but he's never gonna be a consistent starter for anyone.

First time I've watched motd in ages. If the highlights were a true reflection the 3-2 probably flattered West Ham. Credit to Rafa for going at them. Every time I see Andy Carroll play against us I think what a career he could have had if he could stay fit. He's an absolute beast.

I got the Kennedy! Decent 3rd line and this could be mint. Need to see the kid play though.

I just showed that Sam Allardyce video to me dad. Basically cause I know what buttons to push. The old lad is on the very left edge of the labour party, and having grown up through rationing after ww2 was brilliantly placed to comment on food banks. He's only gone off on one for what seems like an hour. So I've had a chuckle to myself, me dad's gone for a shite. Meanwhile there's hundred of thousands of people in our country going hungry. Pensioners freezing cause they can't afford to heat their homes. And papa papa henke was absolutely spot on, nothings gonna change anytime soon.

Feels spot on, I got a large and it’s just about perfect. It’s very leight weight, they did try an Adidas version but it was basically a similar template to the Magpie Fans brand top, which compared to the club’s official Puma Top was heavier IMO. I love the Toon Aid logo btw. Cheers. They're out of XL but there's more coming in January so I've pre ordered.

Ok I'm gonna be honest here, I only caught on when he became our record signing. Thick as mince like.

I like the cut of your jib, but you're far too rational for this thread.

The Lane on bt sports. Thumbs up from me.

Oooh I'm having one. What's the fit like, compared to say the current home shirt?

Relax lads. There'll be an announcement in the next few days, money to spend in January and everything will be sweet as a nut. Just have a mince pie and a pint and stop carrying on like a bunch of fannys.

Not that it matters but I'm sure the £25m a season figure came from Deloitte.

How do you work that one out? Because sports direct has had a decade of free advertising, valued at £200m to £250m . Which has helped transform the business from a successful one to a spectacularly successful one.

Batshit on loan in January then Bas Dost next summer with Mandy's millions.

Surely Penfold would still be in charge after the sale, until he's paid off at least.

I know plenty of city fans who were there through all the bad times, they can't stand the glory hunting pricks either. It's the price of success I'm afraid.
