Re: Southampton (H) | PL | 21/4/2023 | KO 20:00

I respectfully disagree that we should be trying something “innovative” for Wednesday or worry about goal difference at this stage. One game at a time.

Just
Fucking
Win

Re: Southampton (H) | PL | 21/4/2023 | KO 20:00

Whilst I'd agree ESR isn't a "presser", Vieira most certainly isn't, but it doesn't stop him appearing as a wasted substitute week after week. Can anyone remember him coming off the bench and doing anything vaguely productive? Minutes played by Vieira; West Ham: 5 Liverpool: 0 Leeds: 4 Pa...

Re: West Ham Mf A Sun 16th April KO 2pm

The point I was making rodders, is that this season city seem to be fixated on champs league and that they have dropped silly points in the league that they wouldnt have dropped in other years - had they not done so then they might be out of sight by now I just don’t think this is true or at all re...

We have 7 games remaining - I'd argue our 'seize the moment' now is akin to a tournament format
Well much harder to get where we are now than to enter the FA Cup but yeah that has to be the team’s mentality… it’s still right there for them so let’s see what they are made of.

Re: West Ham Mf A Sun 16th April KO 2pm

If you want to go down that road you should acknowledge that this season we are only competing with a champs league obsessed city who are less focused on the premier league than in seasons gone by, and that next season there will without doubt be another 2 or 3 teams minimum that we will have to co...

Re: West Ham Mf A Sun 16th April KO 2pm

Football is about seizing the moment. Greece took theirs in 2004, Leicester 2016, Wigan's FA Cup in 2013......they are the ones people remember forever, but there are many many more that don't take the chance. It certainly isn't inconceivable that City could finish 15 points clear next season, that...

Re: West Ham Mf A Sun 16th April KO 2pm

That would be my sentiment too - it would take a monumental collapse now to justify sacking him, and he has probably earned the right for another shot next season. “Probably”… 😂. He is PL manager of the season and it’s not remotely close. There is not a single football executive in the world who wo...

Re: West Ham Mf A Sun 16th April KO 2pm

We had a much better chance in 15/16 facing a Leicester team who are not a patch on today’s Man City and then genuinely bottled it pretty early with home draws vs Southampton and Swansea etc. Then there’s 07/08 where we were actually on a higher points total than this season until ~February but then...

Re: Wenger Out protests

Any chance there'll be a protest march before the Leicester game? NO, we won't get the numbers...and the few we might have would probably get attacked. We are in the final you ungrateful sods. Shame but not surprising. I just asked as I'm going to my first home game in ages and wanted to take part ...

Re: THE WENGER THREAD

if you are a young player or even one who is established, would you come to Arsenal? Would you come to a club which is in disarray, been shelled by Bayern (again), and doesn't challenge for big trophies? I think the biggest issue with this is; which young players have actually improved at Arsenal i...

Re: PSG away pubs/travel etc

I go to Paris a lot with work so have some experience of the place: - I've found most people speak decent English there these days, at least as good as in Madrid or Milan; has improved a lot recently - Yes pints of beer in pubs/bars are expensive at €7-8 (but lots of happy hours on); food, accommoda...

Re: The Emirates Deal

No. Financially it was a great move. We've got an enormous financial advantage over the likes of Spurs and Liverpool; it's just that our wage bill has been squandered on rubbish and we don't have a manager to make the most of the talent we do have. West Ham and Tottenham are just taking advantage of...
