West Ham (a) Pre-Match Thread

[mosssideblue]

but over 38 games that losing 1in 5 is a disastor

Eh?

Strongest team for this one, need to get a good run going. Chelsea will inevtiably drop off they can't keep winning forever (see Leicester last year....) so we need to build up some momentum ti hunt them down. Title race far from over (see 2012 for anyway being a wetwipe) anything can, and usually does, happen over the course of a season.

Burnley match could be a huge turning point for us as a team, club and fans in general. Hopefully everyone rallies together, the fans get behind the lads more (we have enough people slagging us off without doing it ourselves) and we can go on a good run

Even if it results in nothing this year, a good run from now until the end of the season is vital for next season which will hopefully start to show Pep's philosophies shining through more

Are you taking the piss or are you not strong with maths?

Over 38 games it would be 91 points.[/QUOTE .look i never said we had poor form i believe we are still capable of going on a great run .but with Chelsea not losing 1 in 13 if they clapse us losing 1 in 5 would be a disator .we could not catch them with a trawler net.but lets hope they slip up and we go on a run we are capable of

Strongest team for this one,

But what constitutes our "strongest team"? Does it include players who would playing their 3rd or 4th game in 11 days, or players who might not normally be of the same standard but are fresher?

Good point, and one only Pep will know the answer to. We probably do have a strongest 11 (give or take a couple of players) so i suppose pick the most fittest from those players and any who aren't fit enough to start then make the best decision on who to replace them with.

I mean i know that's pretty obvious but that's kind of what i mean by strongest team!

You should be a goverment spin doctor .what is that saying about lies and stastics?

yep we are shit , we have lost at Spuds , Barca , the champions , Dippers (all shit teams) also at home to the Chavs and our 2nd team lost at the Rags (two more crap teams) , so thats six defeats in 30 games with a new manager feeling his way in a new league and new country , we should be winning every game by at least six goals its just not good enough. Sack Guardiola now and bring back Stuart Pearce and Beanie

 

[Bluep*ss]

We should win this game, using the squad, West Ham are shit! - ?????????
We should beat these, beat Monaco and if we do the business away at Everton and home t Spurs then we could have a great last few months

I wish I lived in LA _LA LAND..............

 

[CrownPointBlue]

An early goal or two will help but time to circle the wagons round Pep.

'La la land'. Sorry for being optimistic but I'm in the minority that believes football is about this season not waiting for next season(that never comes)

West Ham are shit, I think we can both agree on that. Everton aren't much better, but Spurs will be up there at the end of the season. All that said, and I will keep saying it, we are aiming to win the Champions League so I believe we should have the belief that West Ham, Everton, Spurs and Monaco are all beatable

Do you think Barcelona worry about Seville or Bayern worry about Shalke? No, neither do I - they give them healthy respect, but ultimately expect to beat them. Us, with 4 wins in 5, should be very confident of a win on Friday

Good response Blue Hefner............I really wish that your expectations do happen.
But I do not think City will win on Friday........hope I am wrong...

By the way, anybody got the slightest idea how far Vinny is from fitness? I've heard and read not a thing for weeks. His injury this time round had nothing to do with previous ones, and I for one am not accepting that it's over for him. In fact, I happen to believe that a fully fit Vinny from the start of the season would have taken to playing Pep's way like a duck to water, and that, playing alongside John Stones, we would have been top now.

There is an old boy sits near us, was telling my mate that he knows Vinny and he is already fit and available to play, sounds like bullshit to me but he was adamant

Fuck that, bring back Alan Ball.

Olive oil is the ref for this match?

Anyone got an idea how many were taking down?

This isn't anything to do with xmas decorations is it? Doing ours tomorrow

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Presumably Jones has been retrospectively charged with simulating injury.

If there is any justice, but we both know it won't happen. The FArce are desperate for those c**ts to get back to winning ways. It must be crippling their worldwide TV domination strategy while they aren't wining.

There is no logical reason why we cant win at West Ham and go on to win the cup we have the players to do it we just need the belef

What the chances of a quick getaway if we park at the Westfield centre?

PEP just needs to tell them 2 things dont give Payet any space and stop crosses coming in to Carroll ...its fucking easy this management lark
