I would love to see "B" teams playing in proper league matches as is the case in Spain and I believe still in Germany. Maybe they could start off in the Conference or whatever it's called these days and basically find their level. That system would allow the parent club to continue to prop...

Thanks Whisky. Another point, not West Ham related. You're in Hertfordshire aren't you ? What provisions are made up there for bad injuries ? Yesterday, two of the lads in the opposition collided. One of them was screaming in agony for 5 minutes before being carried from the field. Nearly everyone ...

Is he Chinese then ?

No but he's an early candidate for young player of the year.

OK, OK I'll get my coat AND close the door on my way out.

Good post Palerider. I coach a kids team (U16) myself and you are absolutely right. And take it from me your lads will learn much more about the game, and themselves, playing in a harder league. Winning easily every week doesn't do anyone any good at that level. And now they've got their first point...

Nor did West Brom back in the day. Well, before last Saturday anyway.

Whatever your political leanings......left, right, centre, up, down....... If you're an Express, Mail or Telegraph reader....... ignore for the moment it's written in the Guardian and just read what's in black and white. There's not a lot in there to disagree with really. Interesting read but perso...

Masuaku did have a mare, but in fairness he has looked a very decent player until yesterday. If one player has a shocker in defence, which Arthur certainly did, then it filters through. His positioning was all over the place, and if he hadn't given away that stupid handball, I firmly believe we wou...

Let's be honest, it's very seldom a Sullivan signing turns out to be good... it isn't just this season. His record of scouting and signing players from South America is shocking. Hopefully Argentina give him a life ban. The only signing I know of which was for sure made by Sullivan was one Benni Mc...

We all know he had a mare yesterday but, having seen all his games to date, imo it was the first time he hasn't performed to the standard expected. And he was far from being the only one was he?

Of course the buck stops with him, but he can't do anything if Masuaku decides to go out and play like a cunt. A few were saying that Cresswell will struggle to get back in a while back. Bilic has been here one season and now he should be sacked!? Have a word. Masuaku did have a mare, but in fairne...
