West Ham 2025/26

Forest away and Spurs at home next for West Ham.

I would not be surprised to see Potter sacked this weekend if they lose to Forest.

It's getting too toxic and they are only 3 games into the season. One being a Carabao Cup game.

Which is a pity as Brighton played some wonderful football under his reign but things have gone completely pear shaped for him. Shame because I do like the guy, but the writing could be on the wall if his next game ends in disaster.

Agreed . And since he left . On reflection do you think Brighton are a systems club and the manager is less important than their data driven, and apparently successful, recruitment which is always to a particular playing style regardless ?

Putting the shareholder loan issue aside their owner has an astute understanding of how to survive in the PL and seems to be very shrewd . Potter's mistake was thinking the success he had was him and his team , which he took with him to Chelsea, and not the club and the playing talent at his disposal , which moved on seamlessly without him .Tbh I felt sorry for him at Chelsea as it was like watching a slow motion car crash but he had his head turned. He's not the first and won't be the last .
( hello Reuben) .

Brighton appear to be a very well run club with a Chairman who doesn`t suffer fools gladly and has made some wonderful signings and made the club an awful lot of money, so fair play to him and his Board.
Under Potters guidance, Brighton played some wonderful attacking football and IMO for what its worth, they were a joy to watch.
If we are being honest I think most football fans thought he could maybe move to a "big 6 club" and thats not a slur on Brighton but a term used regularly by the press, and for whatever reason it didn`t happen for him at Chelsea.The problem is,its happening now at the Hammers and another couple of bad results and I fear his P45 will be seeing daylight again, which is a real pity as I genuinely like the man.
A case of "watch this space" I assume.

They're an abomination. Every home game, you see them being sold at the top of the stairs from the tram stop. Why does anyone buy them? As a souvenir? Even tourists must know that most football fans can't stand them. You'll see people sporting them tomorrow, I bet. Get Tyler Robi, never mind.

If you buy one for your first game (tourist or child) why not ? Don't understand the obsession with them to be honest
