Re: Ben Rahma

To be fair Benrahma's not up to our usual standards of square pegs for round holes. Brentford had a pretty mobile front line. They weren't pinging it into to a target man or constantly playing possession football around the box. He can beat a player, has decent pace, can pick a pass, and can score. ...

Re: Official Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

The Dawson deal is meh, but I'd assume he'll be starting off as 5th choice behind the 3 senior CBs and Cresswell. Benrahma is a player I've liked for a couple of seasons. There's nothing to dislike except maybe we could've done with cover for Rice and Soucek and Benrahma is neither of those things. ...

Re: Latest takeover.......this is karma

Google is a dangerous thing,but...according to KMG by Enterprise Value - West Ham is the 18th richest on their list at £561M No idea how that is calculated and I imagine there must be a built in % potential value. So I don't know whether their valuation is a bench mark and I'm not sure what "e...

Re: This shows the BBC up for..

The BBC never seems to stop with this shit. Just reading about the new Xbox console -- and what the fuck has that got to do with race? Yes, fuck all -- and this is slipped in... "The Xbox Series S in my view, represents a great value compromise in a world of ever-increasing costs for cutting-ed...

Re: F1, 2020

What a difference a week make. A Belgian bore last week followed by that!!!!!!!! What a race!! So all we need is for Hamilton and Merc to drop a bollock every race. For me what this race did highlight is why Bottas isn't a credible championship threat. He really is solid wingman material and nothin...

Re: This shows the BBC up for..

Ridiculous in and of itself. But then again it's the Mail online, so it could be double bollocks. I mean stuff like black balled and whiter that white literally have no racial connotations beyond the words black and white. So, do these SJAs really think us peons are so thick that we immediately jump...

Re: I thought this was a beautifully written piece of literature.

It's a good. well written piece but sad that yet another writer has confused turnover, ours being the 18th highest, with being rich. Being rich means you can go out and buy the sort of players Abramovich is buying for Chelsea. Having the world's highest turnover, never mind the 18th highest, means ...

Re: Official Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Can anyone remember if we've ever made so few transfers between seasons before?
Soucek makes one, but it's zero for new players.

Re: ITKs & GSB

HC haven't got their feet under the table?! Are you sure?
I'd heard a whisper Gonzo was a regular up the bowling alley at Chez Sully. And that David Gold gives Geo the occasional lift home in his Roller.
