    & this one:

    Agreed. He is one of our own though and if he really wants to show that, and finish his career winning things at his club, then a move back home should appeal more than those concessions. His Citeh move did give him several medals, a healthy bank balance and consistent England call-ups. His England squad place is now open to question again though and future medals will be won as a squad player, rather than as a regular first team starter. I wouldn't be shocked if Jack is now looking at us and thinking:

    Would he want to come? Could we afford him thanks to FFP? Would UE want him? I suspect that all three answers may well be: I suspect that he will return in a few years, like Ashley did though.

    Gives a whole new meaning to those old chants of "The left side" & "The right side", doesn't it? Trust the Noses to get all political about it, but I guess the Peaky Blinders were associated with Oswald Mossley at one point...

    Murillo would be worth looking at if Forest do have a "fire sale", but I guess FFP would prevent us buying anyone from them, even if they did.

    I see that not everyone is giving Rowett a warm welcome on KRO, Albert has said: "Fcukin hate the cnut rowett, the aston loving cock.... having said that, i won't behave like some of the tools did that abused rooney at his very first home game. I wish it wasn't him coming in but needs must." I hope Agent Gary reads those subtle words of encouragement, before he takes them down to Division One!

    He's only 182 cms tall, so his height doesn't swing it for me either.

    I think that Moyes is doing a splendid job. The fact that West Ham fans aren't happy is an absolute bonus. West Ham fans seem to think that it is still the 1960s, they have a couple of decent players, but they haven't got Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst anymore, or even Trevor Brooking, to be able to play "the West Ham Way". There's every chance that a new manager will have them back as the "yoyo club" that they have been more recently (prior to Moyes). Next time we visit, will bring all of our first team with us and give them another good hiding.

    The subs made the difference! Cash blocked a potential winner, Zaniolo scored one and Diaby got us on the front foot. I would have taken this vital point before the game and we got it. Two “goals” correctly disallowed by VAR (eventually), 12 additional "Fergie Time" minutes (where did the ref get that?) and 70% possession, but the final result won't be welcomed everywhere!

    JWP. Don't give him a kick Villa!
  11. John
    Zaniolo!!!
  12. John
    Right, now learn from that Villa!
  13. John
    Another goal just after the break!

    Started well, but let West Ham into it and now we have a mountain to climb. There is a case to be made for substituting Langlet and going to a back 4, as well as bringing off Duran and Rogers, who aren't doing a lot.
  15. John
    Lenglet.....

    "On balance, I think West Ham deserve that" I can't stand that woman!

    It breaks your heart doesn't it?

    They beat Brentford 4-2 last month.
  19. John
    6 wins, 5 draws and 3 league defeats.
  20. John
    They would need Best, Law, Charlton, Giggs and Cantona back too, as well as Busby or Ferguson back to manage them.
  21. John
    They used to get one.

    That's the toughest route to winning it that we could have drawn. Lille, then if all goes as the bookies anticipate, Fenerbahce and Fiorentina. So the tournament favourites will potentially face the next three clubs in the betting. That said, the Lille representatives didn't seem too happy about drawing us, I think they were all thinking something like this:
  23. John
    Yes.
  24. John
    They did actually do that. It is Villa v Fiorentina (if they get that far). I thought the Ajax fans were very good last night. Kept singing throughout and stayed to applaud their team, despite a heavy defeat. I can think of other fans, whose clubs have a similar status in Europe, who would have been out of the ground by the time that we hit our third (the two Manchester clubs for example).
  25. John
    Can't they just keep the away fans in the ground for 15 minutes after the game, perhaps offer them a discounted "Follyfoot" battered sausage as a form of recompense? I can't see there would be trouble before the game, particularly with a number of police being around the ground and hopefully their fans actually having tickets for the game.
