  1. i really want to watch it again. it's great.

  3. to be fair i think that clause expired a good while ago. think it was only a 2 year thing. good job he had a slow start for us!
  4. not as confident about these as i was yesterday's. low stakes if anyone follows these: 28 Jun 2023 17:50:00 KEMPTON (A.W) Melody Cher 28 Jun 2023 19:20:00 KEMPTON (A.W) Covert Legend 28 Jun 2023 20:20:00 KEMPTON (A.W) Graignes
  5. pretty much the only time coutinho has been fit enough to start under emery it was he that started and bailey was on the bench
  6. 150k a week apparently for a player that can be hit and miss. newcastle were in for him too - he'd never have chosen us over those two
  7. probably late to the party as it's a couple of years old now but a shoutout for heels. any wrestling fans on here would love it
  8. yes but there's not a load of clubs willing to fork out that kind of money. imagine how many offers he'll have on the table by next summer also sounds like levy doesn't want him to go to a PL club
  9. no offence to mcginn, but should never have been taken off mings who do i think will be captain? i doubt emery will take it off mcginn
  10. good luck to him. sad to see him go but is a great role for him
  11. so our current squad, i'd say there are 10 places which are nailed down. standard back 5 4 from tielmans, luiz, kamara, mcginn & ramsey watkins & TBD then 1 space left for another forward player out of buendia, coutinho, bailey, and traore. i think even coutinho's harshest critics would still put him above bailey and traore which means he's battling with buenda for the remaining place in the 11. based on that, i'm quite surprised people want him gone so badly because we don't exactly have an abundance of options in the wide/number 10 role now, if we sign a couple of quality forward options, then my view might change. but as things stand, we need coutinho.

  13. why can't we? we can read, we can see what has happened throughout history, we can listen to the experiences of people of colour, and we can then empathise and understand how and why certain language can be deemed offensive. my (american) boss once asked us in a team meeting how many times we've been pulled over by the police...a few of us said once, twice, some said none. he had been pulled over around a dozen times before his 18th birthday and told us of other similar experiences he's had. it had some of us in tears. are you saying we can't put ourselves in his shoes and think about how horrible that must've been to experience? surely it's by doing just that that we become a more tolerant society?
  14. oh i've no issue with upgrading positions if an upgrade becomes available...it's just a LOT of money for a CB considering how good mings and konsa have been. i know we're looking to have a big summer but this surely will take a sizable chunk of our budget when we need a new RB, a new back up keeper, and at least 1 but preferably 2 new forward players too. i wonder if emery has been less than impressed with carlos in training? based on how few opportunities he's had since he's been fit i guess as things stand with no solid links to wingers i'm still dreading the prospect of bailey/traore starting PL games next season
  15. astounded by the figures being chucked about for a player in his final year of his contract. i know he's a big 'name' but is he worth it? bearing in mind CB is one position where we're already in good shape.
  16. this argument always winds me up, similar to those defending that old royal family member who was asking the black british woman "where are you really from?" 'old' people have seen a lot of social change through the decades that they've been around and frankly should no better...it's never an argument he was being deliberately racist...it was the perception of all arabs being terrorists
  17. Just gonna chuck this one out there too: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2402041/amp/Celebrity-Big-Brother-2013-Ron-Atkinson-warned-race-row-house.html

  19. went to the gig at spurs ground last year and his voice was absolutely **** that being said, i'm still going to see them on friday. i grew up on them and at this point i go for the riffs rather than his voice
  20. thing is most racists don't actually think theres anything wrong with their behaviour, so it could be argued that they are not intending to offend. the standard daily mail comment section response is something like "leftie snowflakes are just offended by everything these days" which is usually in response to an article about something that most would deem to be quite offensive someone telling racist or homophobic jokes for example probably doesn't intend to offend...but that would quite understandably be offensive to a black or gay person. it's not that they're 'finding it necessary to be offended'. that being said, context is important. i'm a large fellow, and i joke about my weight with family and close friends. if a stranger made a jibe about it to me, i wouldn't take kindly to it at all...i guess that's the only remotely similar scenario i can personally relate to as someone said above, racism is probably best discussed on a case by case basis. in the case of monchi, it seems to me reading his and this thread is that most on here seem to have given him the benefit of the doubt on that one.
  21. modern journalism is all about views and clicks. danny murphy saying something like "fair play to west ham holding out for their price" would get bugger all social media interactions. danny murphy saying rice should go on strike would get everyone riled up, not just west ham fans. gets clicks. gets interactions on socials. gets views on youtube. he's a prick, but he's just doing his job, which is to be as controversial as possible. the best thing to do is not click or interact on the socials when you see these headlines pop up
  22. 'equally' is a big stretch IMO. buendia has had criticism but i don't think he's been anywhere near as disappointing as bailey. there were times last season we won games in spite of bailey, as it was like playing with 10 men. but i was massively critical of luiz for the first 3 seasons he was with us. and he ended up winning me over. i hope the same happens with bailey i agree with you, 1 more season, give emery a chance to work some magic on him.
  23. i think he'll still be in the squad but i can see him getting a lot of conference league minutes. if he's starting PL games next season something has gone wrong this summer
