West Ham


Jah


Key players not fit yet (we were excellent for 40 mins on Saturday)

Signings - jury's out but a bit underwhelming to be honest -apart from the 2 young ones who are both going to be terrific

Some adjusting to the new stadium & bigger pitch

Not sure why we sold Tomkins

Not panicking but mid-table

Europe was an embarrassment exit ( but may be a blessing)


Olympic Stadium -stewardings awful - not run by club BTW; standing was ignored at UP but now not being ignored (man City had very similar problems if you reacall when they moved; as I said a few weeks back, I'm worried about the potential for trouble when we play the likes of Spurs/Man U/ Chelsea with current away fan arrangements.


Onwards & upwards


PS unlucky with injuries

City were good in the first half, but I felt we backed off far much...Mourinho's liking for zonal marking explains that.

At least he admitted that he goofed playing Lingard and Mikky after both coming back from injuries, and that he shouldn't have changed a winning team.

Smalling was injured and in his absence Blind and Bailly have been good pre-Derby.

A lot of the squad that haven't played much will surely get a run out on Thurs in the Europa League, including Smalling and Rashford.

I thought we came back into the game well and on another day could've got a draw or even a win...

West Ham's first 'big' game is against Arsenal in early Dec, so plenty of time to sort out the stewarding/standing up issue. Not sure if that's classed as high risk but a month later Utd rock up and I hear revenge is in the air for the attack on the Utd bus...

I still love Roy Keane


Speaking on last night?s Champions League Highlights show the former Celt said: ?They need to do a lot better in Europe. Easier said than done, of course.


?But even in qualifying, they were poor. They scraped through.


?The whole mindset has to change. Don?t accept, especially away from home, being the whipping boys of Europe.


?It?s Celtic, a huge club.?


Keane, Martin O?Neill?s international assistant who spent six months at the club in 2006, added: ?When they qualified for the group, the celebrations, for me, were way over the top.


?I actually thought they?d won the competition! People were hugging each other, the manager, the coaches, the players.


?It?s not Altrincham, it?s Celtic!?

At least we get to play at Wembley now and then and have won plenty of trophies there. And it's all going so well at the Tax Free Tesco Stadium isn't it.


West Ham's latest glorious European jaunt has been noted and already laughed at so I won't tread on your toes again by reminding you just how far you got. BTW: What was the name of that team again?

Watching a bit of Soccer Saturday one of the pundits was asked if Liverpool could keep it up. His reply was that he didn't know but last season those teams who played the 'pressing' game (Liverpool & Spurs) ran out of steam in the later stages. Not being in Europe has got to help Liverpool in the league.

      Herne Hill School and Dulwich Prep

      By Nikn · Posted

      Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you

      Thames Water - water meters

      By QueenMab · Posted

      Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway.
