Chicane

What game was it where Shola got sent off for saying a sarcastic comment to the ref? Dummett got sent off too

I love the guy's passion. Kind of a cringey thing to say, but little things like him jumping and heading after taking the corner when Lascelles scored We've had a lot of mercenaries and players who obviously couldn't wait to get away in recent years so it's a very refreshing change

Such a bizarre deal from our POV

Joselu should've had a hat trick man Hopefully it doesn't knock his confidence too much.

RESULT

O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

1 up

Feeling optimistic, 2-0 win

Pards or Fat Sam back in by xmas.

Stuff of nightmares that.

Like a salmon.

Who do you guys think did more damage, Pardew or McClaren? I mean, I despise Pardew far more, that's not even debatable. His years were harder to bear, but I think you could argue Schteve set us back more. He did essentially relegate us and spent all that money (that was not available to Rafa subsequently). I guess it's maybe harsh to blame the signings on him, who knows how much say he really had, but hell, he was part of that stupid 'board' they concocted with Carr and the others. Can't help but wonder how things would've been if Rafa had taken over instead of McClaren (not possible I know, since he was at Madrid, but hypothetically) and got all that money to spend instead.

Hate not playing on saturdays, 3rd time out of 4 isn't it?

Assistant taking the presser

I think the difference is that West Ham's owners care about their club and are somewhat ambitious. They might be crooked as fuck as well but that's more than can be said about Ashley.

West Ham have wanted Rafa for a while though. And they'll want to appease the fans so will give him a load to spend.

He was probably a bit of a frustration signing. We had missed out on several primary targets when we signed him, so maybe we just wanted to get a deal done and the price maybe misled us into thinking he would be straight into the first team. £12m is nothing in this bonkers market for most Prem teams, but for us it clearly is not.

Bottom five guaranteed, I'm at about ~60% thinking we'll go down.

This guy is our only hope

47 minutes about nothing?

Whether you think he's our best keeper or worst, we should not be doing ANYTHING to help a rival team on deadline day, it's absolutely bonkers.
