West Ham United (H) - Sat 4th Jan, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Rammy Blue]

Its the televised 3pm kick off in Ireland

I’ll just head to the ground to watch it, probably a little easier for me.

Good news for us Bowen is out, he’s always a threat

Everybody is a threat recently.

I'll be wearing my new hat and gloves, you'll know it's me because I am the bestest fan and make the most noise.

OK it's going to be a big coat day but I'll chance it and leave the snood at home.

Thanks again, you know who you are :)

Channel balls over the top to Kudus.

I really think that'll be all whu have, it's up to us to bang a couple of early goals in let them panic themselves into defeat.

Dont even need to knock them over the top. Beat our non existent press and pass to him in midfield. He’ll just run straight through everyone.

Litmus test game as to whether the Leicester match was dumb luck or green shoots.

50/50 on that one mate. Great win at Leicester but was it a performance to make you think we've turned a corner, nope

What worries me is that 5-0 drubbing WHam got kasr weekend. The worst result for us.
It's absolutely the worst time to play a team, just after it gets thrashed. The manager will tighten up their defence, so that we'll struggle to score more than one,which won't be enough as they will score. Plus,no team ever gets walloped twice running.
The omens are not good.

we are currently sixth and this is our fans mindset going into a home game off the back of a team that have just got trounced, im no happy clapper and i recognise its not been great but my god lol.

We will see who's right.
I admire your optiism.
I hope I'm wrong. (I usually am)

im not optimistic mate, ive seen em be awful for long enough that typical city is ingrained in me, i just think rumours of our demise have been greatly exaggerated

 

[the blue panther]

Antonio, Bowen and Fabianski out. They've all done reasonably well against us in the past, and Bowen in particular is regarded by their fans as their best player. Fabianski's had a good season so far, despite their struggles. Hopefully, someone can get a grip on Kudus.

City win. 1-0 will do. Anything more is a bonus. Let the unbeaten run extend!

It's typical of City fans to not be optimistic, I'm the same, but you are right the mindset of some City fans is bizarre. It's as if they are happy we are not doing that well at the moment.

Honestly, you can not face us at a better times, injuires galore, players out, morale low. our team will be utter average. i fully expect a heavy drubbing from you guys however bad you think you are right now.
