If they want a quick game, coming here? Let’s fucking give it to them.

He went for double that because it was Chelsea and they are run by idiots.

Why would it be the end of his career?

Not banned from driving according to the presser today.

So can West Ham tbf

Well no this is just a hypothetical discussion really, but I don’t doubt they would be if there was significant numbers involved (suppose everybody has there own interpretation of what significant is).

Yeah, I think even the most frustrated of fans (well, most of them) would probably accept those kind of numbers are completely inconsequential in the grand scheme, and should obviously continue to happen. It’s if a story came out about a school, youth club or whatever, getting, say 50 tickets, you’d start seeing meltdowns.

Did he? I’ve not seen that confirmed anywhere? It’s a fair assumption to make like.

Not as cool as Newcastle v Port Vale

It’s bizarre that they seem to have been really coy about what the injury actually is. Appreciate that they’re not obliged to tell anyone the specifics, and we all know what Eddie’s like when it comes to injuries, but I don’t think we even know what’s wrong with him other than “something under his toe”.

He played the last 15 mins in midfield last night. Granted, that’s obviously not his best position, but it’s an option Howe clearly considers, as opposed to something like Schar in midfield.

It would be like asking an NHS Trust how Billy from down the street only had to wait three weeks for his knee replacement. Don’t waste your time.

That horse video is less outrageous.

Looking back through the pre-match thread, @leffe186 called it…

If we’re in a final and it’s not Botman and Schar (barring injuries), I’d be astonished.

Yep, he’s still not up to absolute peak acceleration yet. There was a moment right at the end of the first half where he had Dalot completely isolated and went to just burn him on the outside but didn’t quite manage it. If he’s 100% he leaves him trailing.

I don’t think that would be a good idea for either party tbh.

Yes, if you’re building a large stadium and you have one end significantly bigger than another for no apparent reason that would seem a bit odd. And probably a bit try hard.

With the current demand for tickets there would be absolute hell on if they started giving tickets away to schools. However worthy the sentiment.

Sounds like the idea of a new site is closer to getting put to bed.

Fuming, even though it’s probably not actually true.

Linked to tickets or just for general content do you know?

The keeper did go off injured in the first half at the weekend, but sounds like it was a bit of concussion so probably be fine.

Yes, cup yellow cards don’t carry over. Red ones do like….

The way Eddie was talking you’d think not, but you’d also be an idiot to listen to Eddie on injuries.
