Looks like a decent team selection apart from Antonio. At least Soucek has been dropped.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 18:06:32
Oh my God, Antonio is a waste of space. Get him off!
2.) 31 Aug 2024 20:20:20
City on this form would have scored at least 3 at any ground in the country today. We were a bit rabbit in the headlights 1st half but pretty decent in the 2nd. I think once everyone's settled in and the manager has had a chance to instil his philosophy in to the the team, we'll be a pretty good outfit.
It'll take a few games, especially at home since we've been dealt a bit of a stinker in the old fixtures list - Chelsea up next, but on this showing I think we'll have at least a solid if not spectacular season this term.
That said, we really should've gone that tiny bit further this window and got in a pacey, mobile striker. Who knows, January maybe?
3.) 31 Aug 2024 20:55:12
Lack of striker is going to cost us
4.) 31 Aug 2024 22:24:31
Anthony Martial's still without a club. Bit of a no brainer really considering Antonio's inability to do football anymore.
5.) 31 Aug 2024 23:36:54
ITS the money Billy, he was on 210 k a week at man untd, but he and Depay have no suitors at present because of their demands, few weeks go past no one comes in things can change? However he was never a great trainer at United, and always on the treatment table, depends what happens, but no strikers glaring mistake
6.) 01 Sep 2024 05:51:28
Personally, I thought Antonio did ok yesterday, against the best team in the land. He was feeding off scraps, yet did try to push us up when he had the ball. Not one person can fault his endeavour, and he is the best striker we have.
Pacquetta was really poor yesterday. In the big games he goes missing.
7.) 01 Sep 2024 07:37:31
? I didn’t realise there was another game being played in a parallel universe! If Antonio is our best striker, then we really have got problems.
8.) 01 Sep 2024 14:40:50
Agreed Brooking?I think Ant was OK, at least I knew he was getting involved, as you say we were playing perhaps the best team in the world! Who else could he play instead of Ant, Paqueta is well we’ll overrated for whatever reason, wtf would City want with him, bloody liability!
Fullkkrug was awful last week, don’t take all the “not getting the service “ rubbish, it’s a Team game, bloody get involved, much rather have seen Nketia/Broga/Abraham!
⚒⚒⚒⚒
9.) 02 Sep 2024 09:06:57
We were playing a fully established team that can probably say it is the best in the world.
We are a revamped team, learning to play together under the different ideas of a new head coach.
Yes, they were obviously and expectedly the better side, but we made chances to score goals.
I am encouraged.
10.) 02 Sep 2024 15:33:06
Antonio has been a great servant . The blame is on the club for not replacing him sooner . Always comes to one thing haller apart . Lack of funds from the owners. While DS is in charge nothing changes . But there's good news in that department going forward . Taps nose . ?⚒️⚒️⚒️
11.) 02 Sep 2024 15:35:00
Top 6. mark my words.
12.) 02 Sep 2024 23:46:09
Lack of funds a bit unfair, WH spent all available funds in that window, we will need the same and more, the next two three four windows, it’s a massive job, turning an old tired, shell of a team, into a strong 25 player squad, able to compete with top clubs, look at the size of the next job, 5 players end of contracts, plus two strikers required!
24 Jul 2024 10:34:11
Ugly rumour that Liverpool are upping their interest in Kudus and the player might be receptive to a move there since Heitinga is now a Liverpool coach. That would be a disaster.
1.) 24 Jul 2024 11:41:33
Oh no, that's the last thing we want, especially to Liverpool. Lots os TALKS are ongoing for multiple targets seemingly. Leeds want in excess of £35m for Summerville and apparently we've offered £20m! Only WEST HAM would think they can get a £35m player for £20m!
2.) 24 Jul 2024 15:00:33
It was only a matter of time and from what I hear Zouma will soon be gone also
02 Jun 2024 04:19:33
The vultures are beginning to circle above Mohammed Kudus. Man Utd and Liverpool are two English clubs who have allegedly started to show an interest, with the suggestion that Man Utd would be prepared to double his salary. And that's without the likes of Real Madrid not yet joining in. We might be in for a rough tide to keep our jewel in the crown.
23 May 2024 15:39:40
Lopetegui announced officially as head coach.
1.) 23 May 2024 23:10:52
Well, JLo was not my first choice and, to be honest, I was a little sceptical over his appointment. However, having just watched his first interview, he’s certainly won me over. I’m now looking forward to the transfer window and next season. He’s so much more easy going than his predecessor, not so defensive (pardon the pun) . He’s got my support.
2.) 25 May 2024 07:59:14
The video of his first 24 hours at the club on YouTube is well worth a watch.
10 Mar 2024 11:59:45
Any truth in the rumour that .....................
{Ed002's Note - Very, very old news. Try and find something more recent.}
1.) 10 Mar 2024 13:39:34
Rumour breaking today about Moyes’s son appointed as scout at WHU. Breaking on Newsnow, West Ham Chat for the first time. I have not previously heard it, and neither had every WHU supporter I spoke to today. Where was this “old news” previously reported out of interest please?
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea where it was reported but Jr left the Wassermann agency two or three years ago to undertake some scouting activities for the club.
2.) 10 Mar 2024 13:42:23
Are you getting this rumour confused with the appointment of Tim Steidten’s brother to the scouting staff?
{Ed002's Note - I am not confused about anything.}
3.) 13 Mar 2024 06:58:56
He's been at the club for months . It's the sun as usual trying to stir things up at the club . Tevez olympic stadium bowyer signing they have form for it . Moyes is going 100% .
4.) 13 Mar 2024 11:40:17
Let's hope you are indeed right mate.
5.) 16 Mar 2024 14:50:13
In which case, I apologise to Ed002 as I was totally unaware of his appointment until it was reported recently on Newsnow and by Gonzo on Hammers Chat.
{Ed002's Note - Don’t worry.}

Interesting and common sense article on the continued selection of Antonio -
"West Ham duo made it clear they don't trust Michail Antonio and Julen Lopetegui must act."

2.) 09 Sep 2024 22:22:49
In other news, Niclas Fullkrug's gone and gotten himself injured on international duty. Achilles according to reports. If that's true, even if it's a minor injury then he's out for weeks - anymore serious and it's months.
3.) 10 Sep 2024 06:33:43
If true, we are back to square one - reliant on underperforming Antonio and Ings, or Bowen being played out of position through the middle. Reluctance to go that extra few yards with Duran will come back to bite us.

-------------Take it to the Teams page please--------------
29 Aug 2024 11:32:15
With only today and tomorrow left for any further transfer business, I am feeling a bit uneasy over the first team squad as it stands. Hopefully, we can find a way of moving Ings and Cornet on. For some unknown reason, Soucek appears to be living yet another charmed life under this coach. It's obvious to anyone with a heartbeat that JWP contributes nothing, so hopefully someone will come in for him, but I'm not holding my breath. Also, several of the new additions will take time to settle in, but if's also plainly obvious we cannot rely on just Füllkrug and Antonio up top. It's early days still, but we need another creative midfielder and a decent centre forward. One or two newbies are looking good. Drawing Liverpool away was a kick in the teeth. Whether we do any more business is questionable, but without it we may be in for a very average season. COYI!
16 Aug 2024 13:49:38
Oh crap! What's with all this talk about us possibly selling Mo Kudus? With Sullivan now suggesting that we've massively overspent, is this him preparing the ground for a possible sale of one of our best players to recoup funds? Jesus, I hope not. What's really worrying, just as we're beginning to look like a top 6 side, is that Man City are allegedly sniffing around Kudus, in addition to Liverpool. Fingers crossed.
1.) 16 Aug 2024 14:41:32
You’re now making me wonder if the Summerville purchase had nefarious motivation.
Kudus tore up the PL last season and scored some remarkable goals. He’s young and can only get better. He must be worth at least 100m.
Does anyone know if there’s a release clause in his contract?
Joyful?
2.) 16 Aug 2024 14:47:26
That's exactly what I was saying yesterday could see it coming
3.) 16 Aug 2024 15:57:40
Release clause dates HAVE PASSED,
4.) 16 Aug 2024 16:21:53
Thx. So we can price him out of reach if the interest becomes pressing.
5.) 16 Aug 2024 17:39:21
Kudus isn't leaving. Some of our supporters are Levy's wet dream. Remember who David dein thinks who the goons biggest threat are . And DDs exactly right.
6.) 16 Aug 2024 17:45:17
FFS west ham United ain't a small club. One look at the clubs turnover and attendances. Tells anyone sensible with a hole up there arse that
7.) 16 Aug 2024 17:55:14
Tinlegs the correct terminology is alleged interest. The club is genuinely ambitious for the 1st i can remember. I've supported us for 41 years . Enjoy it .
8.) 16 Aug 2024 21:31:19
Hammer, I’ve supported West Ham for 61 years (since 1963) and David Sullivan is the craftiest owner I’ve known. Nothing would surprise me where he’s concerned. I only mention Kudus because all the noises on the grapevine are beginning to intensify around Kudus. I’d hate to see him go.
10 Aug 2024 10:21:02
Morning all! Just to let you know I haven't gone anywhere. And Dabber - I haven't posted much recently because my biggest complaint (surprise, surprise) was the management and style of Moyes. I'm not waiting for JLop to fail - I'm looking forward to a successful season under a progressive coach. Oh and by the way, I'm not Oshee or Daisy, and my name's not Mike! ?
1.) 11 Aug 2024 00:28:18
Tinlegs, nice to have you back. You can always post something positive on here you know, you don’t have to wait until there’s something to complain about. This sight has been much better in the last week or so because the window has been good and the future bright. Banter is flowing, welcome to the party ?
2.) 11 Aug 2024 08:01:41
The thought of Tinlegs desperately hoping for negativity so he can ignite his social life on here has made me laugh.
3.) 11 Aug 2024 17:28:30

23 May 2024 02:40:53
Major clear-out of backroom staff, including Nolan, Heitinga, Newman and McKinlay. Wow!
1.) 23 May 2024 11:00:22
I am not in the slightest bit surprised, but I am a little disappointed that Nolan has gone.
2.) 23 May 2024 18:24:11
So, it looks as though Paqueta won’t be join in ng them. He’s being charged with betting offences. No club will take him on with this hanging over him, and if he’s found guilty, he’ll probably get a lengthy ban. What a disaster.
3.) 23 May 2024 20:55:03
Toney was banned for gambling. Pacquetta's is FAR worse. He is influencing the outcome. We won't see him this season. 1 year minimum ban.
4.) 24 May 2024 03:59:08
Hang on, he’s got to be found guilty first!
5.) 24 May 2024 06:00:11
If the FA has spent nine months investigating, they must be reasonably sure of his guilt. A Lincoln City player received a 5 year ban for the same offence, yet got booked twice. Pacqueta has four bookings - career ending.
{Ed001's Note - they don't usually press charges unless they have pretty much irrefutable proof. Hence why the conviction rate is so high in FA charges.}
6.) 24 May 2024 08:20:29
They are talking very severe punishment for him to set precidence. I just wonder, if it was Kevin De Bryune would the FA have pursued this as they did? that's not to say there is any sort of BIAS, but there is without doubt different rules for different teams. Just Look at this FFP Mallarky involving Citeh and Chelski. Everton and Forest have been punished whilst the CITY and Chelsea cases drag on? Why?
{Ed001's Note - the FFP stuff is completely different. Both Everton and Forest did not contest their charges, they pleaded guilty and just presented what they believes to be mitigating circumstances. City, on the other hand, have gone through every possible, conceivable method to block any attempt to investigate them. They even refused to hand over information which they are required under Prem regs to produce. The FA then had to go through the courts to force them to hand it over, which City then appealed and continued to appeal until there were no more routes left to appeal. That alone has taken years and for me shows a severe problem with the regs in that there are no powers to punish them for refusing to hand over the documents requested. They should already have had points deducted, at the very least. Personally I think it should be an automatic relegation for refusing to hand them over. But it is City that are deliberately holding it all up because they are guilty as sin and everyone and his dog know they are cheats.
Chelsea is different again. This was a case of new ownership coming in and finding evidence of financial mismanagement and under counter payments etc, cheating in a similar way to City, basically. They then handed it in to the FA as they found it. They didn't organise it or anything or investigate it themselves, just gave it to the FA to let them deal with it. So basically the FA are having to audit the books and collate all the issues found. Then they will have to decide what charges to press. The big question then is what kind of punishment do you apply to the club when all the guilty parties have left and it was the new owners who found the issue and told the FA about it?}
7.) 24 May 2024 12:53:36
I fear this could be a lifetime ban - or as good as. We are probably sensible to write off Paqueta, and his transfer value, for the foreseeable future. A great "welcome to West Ham" for JLo. What a waste of a good player for the sake of winning a few bets.
05 Sep 2024 05:56:36
I agree. I’ve also been a long term big fan of Oliver Scarles and hope to see him develop into a regular first team starter.
04 Sep 2024 19:47:33
Apparently, we have an up and coming striker from our own academy - Josh Ajala. He is very highly thought of and looks to be a promising candidate for knowing where the net is. Maybe Steidten’s job will be a little easier?
01 Sep 2024 07:37:31
? I didn’t realise there was another game being played in a parallel universe! If Antonio is our best striker, then we really have got problems.
31 Aug 2024 18:06:32
Oh my God, Antonio is a waste of space. Get him off!
31 Aug 2024 16:49:20
Mid-table, no silverware.
14 Sep 2024 16:59:51
1-1 and I’m beginning to feel uneasy about JLop’s starting selections. Why on earth did he start with Soucek and Antonio? Both hopeless and deservedly withdrawn at half-time.
10 Sep 2024 06:33:43
If true, we are back to square one - reliant on underperforming Antonio and Ings, or Bowen being played out of position through the middle. Reluctance to go that extra few yards with Duran will come back to bite us.
