West Ham banter 3

29 Sep 2025 20:55:16
How come we never played like Everton are playing when we had Moyes, on the front foot ?

29 Sep 2025 22:04:24
That is what I said to my boys ?

29 Sep 2025 19:45:55
I like the look of Nuno's first starting XI. COYI!

29 Sep 2025 20:29:32
Can’t say I like the look of Magassa his passing is poor and looks like an accident waiting to happen

He’ll probably score a hatrick now

29 Sep 2025 20:48:01
Just goes to show it’s all about opinions as I thought he looked really good, athletic, made some good blocks and supporting the attacks well ….

29 Sep 2025 20:57:41
Think you've gotten to used to JWP playing it back everytime, think over the first half was pretty solid performance from the 21 year old in his prem debut.

29 Sep 2025 21:01:22
Magassa has given the ball away a lot.
I thought the assistant Sky commentator has been well biased towards Everton. Checked and it’s Andy Hinchcliffe who made 182 appearances for guess who? Yep, Everton, between 1990 and 1998. When will Sky ever learn?

29 Sep 2025 21:02:18
At least he plays forward facing and doesn’t do the hand brake turn.

29 Sep 2025 21:17:07
Apparently, Nuno agrees with Hammer-D. Potts on for Magassa. Sensible move.

29 Sep 2025 21:47:21
He was on a yellow so was a wise move. He’s still done much more than ward prowse though ….

29 Sep 2025 22:00:01
It wasn’t just his passing it was the timing of his tackles but as you say he is still young.
I thought Summerville Sioux and Bowen were good. Fernandez was a bit anonymous
I thought they play decent second half

29 Sep 2025 22:00:54
More to do with him being on a yellow not the performance. Good full debut, potts also good when he came on.

Nice to us actually have some athleticism in there all willing to get stuck in.

29 Sep 2025 18:12:54
If Nuno has axed JWP then fair play to him I'm it's good to see he's got the balls to do it.

29 Sep 2025 20:22:16
Nonsense Stevie. He’s the bloody manager! That’s what he’s paid millions to do.

29 Sep 2025 20:50:55
To be honest Stevie I don't think its anything to do with his pair of balls more his pair of eyes ?

29 Sep 2025 14:34:05
SULLIVANS MATHS, why it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to any interested parties in WH
Kretinsky paid approximately £170 m for his 27.5%. Share
That values the club around £750 m, which is in line with financiers values

Sullivan wants £500 m for his shares, as he values the club. At £1.4 billion, if you look at Kretinsky purchase, Sullivans shares worth no more than £250 m

Golds shares 25% are available for £150 m
That values the club at even less £600 m!

So something wrong here, as you can see, and leaves no question about who is putting off any potential interest in a takeover

29 Sep 2025 13:56:40
Well one bit of good news JWLP has not travelled

29 Sep 2025 15:32:20
He had him on loan and discarded him after 10 games. Hopefully he has seen enough to know on the pitch he is one of the bigger problems.

29 Sep 2025 14:20:33
Yep that’s already reason to celebrate!

29 Sep 2025 14:46:55
Yeah that's really interesting. Seems from what I've read magassa and Fernandes will start in front of back 4

29 Sep 2025 15:11:53
Well if that’s the start, I’m happy with that, because he is useless.

29 Sep 2025 13:03:36
I have a strong feeling we will get something out of tonights game. Of course, a lot depends on Nuno's team selection and tactics, but I have a good feeling. I might end up having to eat these words, but for now I'm hopeful.

29 Sep 2025 13:45:47
I’m actually looking forward to watching it. Just want to see an improvement…….

29 Sep 2025 15:21:39
No Soucek and no JWP in midfield. Happy days!

29 Sep 2025 16:44:53
On the money Tin. Couldn't agree more. Finally someone who realises JWP offers nothing.

Not worried if we lose tonight as long as there are smiles and we show little improvement

29 Sep 2025 17:14:03
It's always a difficult game away to Everton and he hasn't had much time I'd take a draw to be honest

29 Sep 2025 07:39:07
{Ed's Note - Alonso1786 has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool v Crystal Palace Review

28 Sep 2025 21:41:38
Nuno is a proven and successful manager in the PL. He knows what he is doing. Can he make it work with our current squad and overcome its frailties. We’ll see.

29 Sep 2025 05:56:47
It will be very interesting to see if he can get the same players playing with some belief. It will also be interesting to see if AWB stomach problem miraculously clears up ready for tonight’s game. As I think the last manager alienated many of our players and the many of the better players too. It would be great to see some good team spirit.

29 Sep 2025 09:06:13
Some good team espirito santos …. sorry that was s**t! ??

29 Sep 2025 10:23:15
Nuno it wasn’t! ?

29 Sep 2025 12:40:06
Boom boom as the legendary Basil Brush would say ?

29 Sep 2025 13:43:57
I hope he’s a success and we don’t start calling him NO-NO ?

28 Sep 2025 20:11:26
I really cannot believe some people are already against Nuno, you wanted potter out and you got your wish but you're still not happy even though the new manager hasn't had a game yet, this is just pathetic, we haven't got the best squad, he can juggle a few players about but give him a window or two for f**k sake, so those people that are moaning already let's see your choice of manager.

28 Sep 2025 21:47:29
100% agree Stevie66 everyone needs to stop the moaning and get behind Nuno, he turned Wolves round and got them into Europe and then did the same at Forest. In between he got hounded out of Tottenham, despite having a win rate of 47% which is better than our highest win ratio which is Moyes at 44%. His replacement Postecoglou had a win rate of 46%. He might not be everyone's choice, but he is here now and time for everyone especially, at the LS to get behind him and the team. COYI and welcome to our club Nuno.

28 Sep 2025 21:55:02
Give him a window or two is exactly the attitude that got us where we are now, and of course I'll have an opnion good or bad but it doesn't mean I have to have blind faith in the boards appointment when they don't exactly have a high success rate in that area, the reason a lot of us wanted moyes out was the boring tepid football, this is the 3rd appointment since moyes and it's got no where just another negative manager that wants to low block

I said on rumour page I think silva would have been decent and I'd also add ireola the bournemouth boss both play decent football

29 Sep 2025 05:48:08
I don’t think that’s completely fair Stevie. I am with you in that let’s give Nuno a try and get behind him, but people are still entitled to say what they think. And if it all turns bad they would be right to say we said so. I’m very much on the fence regarding Nuno but I will give him a chance and really want him to succeed and let’s see what he can do with the same team the last manager had. He did play low block at Forest but it didn’t look that bad to me. People have said he just had good defenders and DMs well he also had Hudson Adoy, Gibbs-White and Elanga who were great. I think he may be a little bit more adaptable than many are giving him credit for, time will tell. But we can’t be saying he needs 2 windows, we should be able to see by December if he can turn us around. And we do need to get to a situation where the managers come in and adapt to what we have and play a certain type of football not needing to completely get rid of everyone and bring in their players.

29 Sep 2025 07:51:20
Firstly you can't even spell the name of 1 of the managers you want to hire, secondly why would either of them trade their current clubs for us? Thirdly after getting rid of potter and all the backroom staff and the compo it would cost it was always clear the board would bring in someone not under contract so it was always unrealistic to expect that.
The boards sole aim is survival in the prem at this point which is really sad, when we won the conference that was our time to push on and strngth the squad but Moyes/board didn't bring in quite a lot of brilliant players we were linked with and flogged the same 11 every week.

29 Sep 2025 09:09:24
Correct on every point ChrisB05!

29 Sep 2025 09:13:47
Firstly the spelling is irrelevant, secondary they may well see it as an exciting project with a club that has massive potential if handled correctly, thirdly that's my point the board have shown a lack of ambition with a cheap appointment again and a safe option we are only 5 games into the season, we aren't in trouble with 10 games left so just staying up is small minded

29 Sep 2025 12:09:13
It’s got to be said — correct on every point Redrobbo2.
I’m not against Nuno. He may well be ok, but the fact that Sullivan will only hire unemployed coaches surely indicates a lack of ambition. That, and his unwillingness to invest in the club.

29 Sep 2025 12:44:44
Redrobbo/Tinlegs - again both your points are 100% correct, Sullivan has no ambition and doesn’t want to invest in the club therefore until he goes we won’t get the manager we all want. Given he’s still there Nuno is the best we were going to get ??‍♂️

28 Sep 2025 09:24:11
I think we all virtually agree that Nuno is probably the best of the available managers, as many have stated, there's. No way Sullivan, is ever going to pay a large release clause, for anybody
Again do we have the players for Nunos style, No not really, so we just have to see how it rolls out
Bramley Dock tomorrow night, let's get behind the team, you never know?

28 Sep 2025 10:37:21
Been trying to watch videos of his tactics at different clubs and it would seem he is fairly flexible tactically. I do think at least he will play bowen in his best position, summerville and maybe even Guilherme would benefit from a fast counter attacking style. Paqueta and fernandes more than capable at playing quick forward passes into those. Should be interesting to see what he goes with as it's not given he'll be a carbon copy of what he done at forest.

Seems more charismatic and much less of a soft touch compared to Potter.

28 Sep 2025 13:46:58
Can’t agree Joyfull. Xavi would have been a better option, but the incentive would have to have been massive for him to take on WHU, and Sullivan isn’t ambitious. He’s also a penny pincher. I wouldn’t mind betting Xavi will soon be taking over at Old Trafford. I’m not convinced Nuno is the right fit for us, but time will tell. Given what’s happened in the past, I’m certainly not rushing in yet to back a manager appointed by that idiot Sullivan. Let’s see how it goes first.

28 Sep 2025 15:45:07
Xavi… he would NEVER consider us!
We need to ALL get behind Nuno and give the man a chance.

28 Sep 2025 15:48:45
YEAH, Tin, but Xavi isn’t coming to WH nor where a host of others, it was always going to be someone who was instantly available, no buy out sums involved, and for me Nuno was the best choice OF THAT LOT

So when realism is involved, that’s what you get, NOT THE BEST manager WH can or could get, just for me the best choice, of what Sullivan could get, that’s it, and that’s how I see it

Surely he must do better than Potter, and Loppy, starting tomorrow, we will get an idea?

28 Sep 2025 16:22:49
“We need to ALL get behind Nuno and give the man a chance.” Now where have I heard that before? A broken record, or history repeating itself?

28 Sep 2025 16:36:08
I agree Joyfull, there are decent managers out there that wouldn’t dream of coming to WH because of Sullivan and those that would if the money was right Sullivan wouldn’t pay for. On that basis Nuno is probably the best we could have hoped for. We’ll see ….

28 Sep 2025 17:19:31
I fully understand your comments Tin, but there was NEVER going to be a dream appointment mate
If you look at the other contenders O’Neil, Bilic Carrick, Nuno was always the likeliest
I’ll, be happy to get away from the bottom, for now, which is a big ask, and then have another look

28 Sep 2025 17:21:35
The best we could have hoped for or just a lack of ambition? A clear reason we need a change of ownership.

28 Sep 2025 18:40:31
Correct on all three points, but at this time, we are where we are, we are stuck with Sullivan and Brady, therefore no ambition for sure, we just have to hope that their days on the board are short in number, what more can you say?

28 Sep 2025 19:33:40
The owners won’t sell. Why would they? I wouldn’t if I were them. Every game is profit.
We can’t keep blaming the owners. The players are the ones not producing the goods, irrespective of the manager, owner etc.
