West Ham United (H) - Wed 3rd May, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Pam]

Sorry blues, we will drop points tonight unless one of you can tell me how to reverse the curse. Here is why...

It's already been a perfect day. Went to bank to deposit cheque for overpayment of water rates. Cheque had Pam on it and not Pamela. So it spat the cheque back out and told me to piss off. Stormed out of bank. Went to Morrisons. Got to to the card only till. Looked in purse. No card. I lose things when I'm angry. Luckily had the cash. Got home. Cancelled card. Then 5 secs later mum shouts down and says "Alexa is down. Looked at the router. She'd only pulled out every plug she could find trying to fix it. Then tried to cover her tracks by plugging one back into socket, so the router was showing the red light of death and the entire Internet was down. Meanwhile, she snuck off back to bed and lied at first. It just went off, she said, and she never even went downstairs. She merely waited for me to get home. LIES! Unless it was the bloody cat that pulled all the other plugs out, and then reinserted just the one. innit? Anyway I stopped shouting after I fixed the blood
y net and Alexa and cancelled the lost bank card.

I don't care if these are First World problems. I'm not making her any dinner and City are playing tonight, and we will lose because today is cursed, I lost my debit card and mum tried to break the Internet. It is a sign. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. What's to be done?

WHU to rest players ahead of Euro semi final?

"If rumours are true", "could"

All hear say, a clickbait article. I personally don't see them resting players 8 days before their euro game. We'll soon see though I suppose

 

[Akiva]

I'll be at the Etihad tonight and have an ongoing "haven't seen City win on a sunny Wednesday afternoon in the Prem" curse, so apologies in advance.

 

[mosssideblue]

Why would we rest players when we can make 5 subs?

Play the strongest XI every game now. If we’re in a nice position, make changes early.

Do not take the foot off now!

Exactly, and I'm sure Pep will think likewise

Conversely, you’ve used up all the bad mojo for the day and we will now absolutely smash West Ham.

Can you lot save the flapping for the match thread

This is the match thread.

Are you one of "The Kinks" ?

FInd a darkened room and don't come out until full time :-)

 

[urban genie]

We will win, our brotger in arms will do us a favour ;-)

 

[Pam]

Good call!

 

[Ashleymcduff]

4-0 tonight Haaland to bag 2 and be subbed off.

West Ham are poor.

My father in law is a West Ham season ticket holder he is dreading tonight.

 

[Pam]

I would. But I'll be at the game. Though there's always the concourse toilets, I suppose.

 

[Silvercloud]

Landlord of my local is a Hammers fan. He just wants us to not humiliate them. He says he’ll be happy with a 6-0 loss! More important games coming up for them he reckons

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Pep has said he sees how Haaland, Alvarez and KDB can work in the same side so I expect him to follow his own words and play the first two tonight, Kevin being wrapped up warm until Madrid. Grealish needs a rest, Foden needs minutes, Ake to come on for half an hour.

 

[SebastianBlue]

@Tony - MCFC any word?

Nothing yet sorry.

You've got me worrying now :-)

seems to also be a mentality around with some of their fans that their next home game against the rags is much more winnable for them so best save some key players' legs - I endorse this strategy

Well Foden on the left is awful this season so I would play Foden instead of Mahrez. But we need Mahrez to have games on his feet also because he is an important player. So it's a strange situation.
I would play Grealish :)
