Might be in the minority but I hope Man City get away with it all, I love the fact they have stopped the likes of Liverpool , Arsenal and Man United picking up trophies , I like them and Pep a lot and hate them other three clubs so couldn't care less if they have cheated .

Presumably because the style of football his teams play isn't " The West Ham Way".

As bad as Spurs are they can't not beat Burnley and Sheff United so we won't catch them . We would comfortably be above them though if it wasn't for injuries .

The whole media are , it's ridiculous enough but the worst thing about it is when they say it will cost like 80 million to sign him, as if we are just going to bend over and give him away for that sort of money when he is worth double that .

I think that's why our training match against them in the cup killed them so much , they had actually convinced themselves they played some of the best football since 2010 Barcelona and that they would give us a game. They even said they would give the likes of PSG a game when we hammered them 4-1, they genuinely believed it all as well . The fact we turned up strolled about in first gear without breaking sweat and won 3-0 meant they literally had nothing to cling onto anymore .

On a side note they have such a weird obsession and hatred with anything or anyone from County Durham that isn't a MLF, they genuinely believe the whole of the County should be red and white and anyone that isn't is some sort of Judas .

Spurs are a complete joke like aren't they.

Man United do have a far better squad than us to be fair ,we have a load of championship standard players still starting for us as times . The fact we are only 3 points behind them despite having an unprecedented injury crisis this season shows how much of a better manager we have than they do. Bruno won't be going to Man United either way . Only PSG or Man City can really afford him and he's wasting the rest of his career going to the French league so it depends if he wants the big payday, if Pep wants him then he will be off .

I don't see how we are stopping him for working though? He is free to work for Man United as long as they pay what we value him at. Imagine say Arsenal bid 10 million for Bruno in the summer and we reject it as it's way below our value , Bruno couldn't then take us to arbitration and expect to leave for a cheaper fee than we value him at.

The whole thing stinks like , we value him at a certain price , if that price isn't paid you can't just throw your toys out the pram and threaten arbitration. What is the point in contracts etc if you can just get out of one by throwing a tantrum like Ashworth and Man United are doing here ?

I don't understand on what grounds he even has to take this to court ?

What an absolute wanker the bloke is , imagine a footballer not getting a move to a club that wanted him because they didn't pay his value so he decided to take the club to court .

If he even achieves half of what Milner has then he will have had an excellent career.

Aye he must have been looking around at some of the players we had on the pitch last night thinking I can do way better than this .

He always looks better coming off the bench , West Ham and Luton been his best games for us.

If we beat Sheff United we will be on the same number of home points as we got last season, highlights even further how bad we have been away from home . If we win our two home games and beat Burnley that should be enough for 7th.

Its a straight shootout between us and Man United for 6th, they have a very similar run in to us playing four of the same teams, will come down to that game at Old Trafford for who finishes 6th. As other have said the conference league is a bit of a joke trophy but seeing how West Ham fans went on last season and Villa fans this season, I do think winning it would be brilliant and its not like we can exactly be picky over which trophy we want to win.

He literally wants a free stadium and director of football without any gardening leave dosnt he . The arrogance of it , if ever an owner suited a club it's him and Man United .

I know you are always going to drop points but its madness that we only got two points from Forest , Luton and Everton at home , as well as losing at Everton and Luton, all three of them are terrible , even winning two of them games would mean we would pretty much have 6th guaranteed.

Didn't Rice only have a year or so left on his contract ?. Seem to remember he did so West Ham had no choice but to sell really . We hold all the cards with Isak and I would be astounded and also disappointed if we even entertained an offer for £100 million . It would basically mean we have no intention of trying to close the gap on Arsenal.

I think Gallagher would be a decent squad player, either way he's definitely a significant upgrade on Longstaff.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/18/arsenal-eye-alexander-isak-michael-olise-search-for-striker-winger. It is understood that ­Newcastle’s striker Alexander Isak is one of the primary targets. He could cost about £100m and was heavily scouted by Arsenal before his move to St James’ Park in August 2022 for an initial £63m. 100 million must be some sort of joke , he's worth at least double that and even then I wouldn't sell him.

Have a feeling Munich will knock Arsenal out in the same way Dortmund beat us , not necessarily a better team but they have the experience and know how to win these sort of games a lot more than Arsenal do.

I'm not even bothered about that extra European spot , In some ways seeing Spurs or Villa miss out on champions league would be worth not getting the extra place . If we finish 6th we get European football so it's still in our hands and we have more chance of winning the conference league anyway, if we don't then so be it , we shouldn't need other teams doing us a favour and I can't be bothered wanting Arsenal to beat Munich anyway for the sake of it .

PSG and Dortmund both getting to the semis of the champions league would literally sum up our season .
