Whammers at home

[Ray C]

Their Kiwi CH will be playing for them this time so "The Lazy Frenchman" will not get it all his way. Should win well 3 - 0 anyway, the same result as the Manaco away game next week !!!.

Things to remind yourself about West Ham .

1. They are murdering cants who killed my first friend at Arsenal John Diciknson !
2. They are not Cockneys
St Mary Le Bow Church is Postcode EC2V 6AU,Islington Post Codes start at EC1 ie next door .
Green Streen E16 is 7 Miles away
Contrary to popular opinion ,largth swathes of Bethnal Green,Whitechapel and Hackney are staunch Arsenal areas.
The suggestion that East London is theirs ,is frankly speaking risible ,as Whitechapel and the Isle of Dogs have always been
Millwall......so much for east enders then !
3. What they are is "Mockneys" or "Garnets" who come from Essex and North Kent and have accents real Cockneys laugh at.

[SPUDMASHER]

I'm afraid that I lack confidence in our team to beat anyone. They blow hot and cold and the opponent seems to be irrelevant when it comes to the result.
I hope we kick on from our win Monday and give these the battering that our respective squads lead you to believe we should.

[Nuggets]

I am never confident with this lot hit and miss, I sincerely hope they get the 3 points, just all turn up and don't go to sleep thats all I ask.

[clockender1]

i like west ham too

i think a scruffy 1-0. just like after the city win, wonga will be over confident and we will be wide open. but west ham are pants. worse than Brighton even.

is jenko barred from playing in this one ?

Yes mate all true as above, Bermondsey is also Millwall stronghold

As for that terible incident seem to remember no West Ham fans charged, only ironically several Arsenal lads, typical old bill

[GranadaJoe]

Some ICF definitely ended up in court, but I can't remenber if it was for the murder specifically or for other offences. Whatever it was they were all acquitted. Scumbags.

[Herd]

Ref John Dickinson, the Inspector in charge of the case was clueless ,but made it clear to all , from the start that someone was going down for it one way or the other as it turned out they charged the 8 Arsenal fans that lived with conspiracy and they ended up getting 18 months each.
2 or 3 West ham were charged but only with Public order offenses , one was fined and another got 3 months,the Killer was never caught because Plod never dug very deep,and in all likely hood was a kid with a stanley knife that went through the ribs and nicked his heart.
John wasn't a thug he wanted to go home quickly to Vauxhall that day because he had a date ........his childhood girlfriend has died in their bed of a brain aneurism barely a year previous and this I think was the first time he had felt up to seeing anyone .
He went to the southbound platform and the ICF who unknown to us all hadn't gone home but had regrouped in their 100's at Manor House burst out of the train and went for the group on the platform. Johns pal tried to make a stand where the 2 tunnels meet and got a broken arm and kicked to shit ,John got stabbed but got away and collapsed in St Thomas's road by the supporters club .

Yes Sickening in-justice, a real tragedy and terrible waste of life....RIP John

Arsène Wenger has revealed the following team news ahead of Saturday's game against West Ham United:

on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain…
Chamberlain has a hamstring strain, the only thing we don't know is how bad it is because usually the scans are only done 48 hours after the accident. That will be done today [Wednesday].

on Jack Wilshere…
Jack is progressing well, he is not back in training yet.

on Mathieu Flamini…
Mathieu is training, he could be available for the squad on Saturday.

on Gabriel…
Gabriel may be [available] next week, he should come back into training on Sunday or Monday.

on whether the Monaco game will affect his team selection…
No. We were at a high level of fatigue because we played against Monaco, Everton, QPR, Manchester United, all very physical games. I will have to test medically, physically, how the players are on Friday, and I will make my decision then. The big priority is of course West Ham.

West Ham - the so called Academy. I presume they are referring to the one season they had in 1985 when they finished 3rd and old man Brooking, McAvennie and Cottee were there? The rest of the time I can always remember them having a fucking useless lump like Dowie,Cole or Carroll up front, playing shit football and being a yo-yo club

I will forever be grateful to their team in 2006 for making the last ever day at Highbury one to remember by rolling the Spuds over (honourable mention to the Marriott chef too)

The match - probably one of the games like against Everton a couple of weeks back. 1-0 up and probably won't kill it off till late. Won't be pretty but they are on a shit run and Walrus Chops is again looking like the man who knows his number is up

[CloakedGooner]

Comfortable 2-0

[DB10GOONER]

3-0 to The Arse.

Welbeck might have a bit of confidence after putting his manure demons to bed with the winner the other night, so Wenger will drop him now, as you do...

I'm popping a €10 on 3-0 to The Arsenal & Giroud for first goal.
