Re: What's happened to the forum?

A reasonably healthy number of replies to the match thread throughout the 2nd half, particularly as it was an uninspiring performance. Were you expecting the enthusiasm to be as keen as it was pre lockdown? How long after the match finished is a reasonable time for online numbers to dwindle? Does y...

Re: Declan Rice - Now We Know

The only hindrance for Rice is the lack of quality in midfield at club level. He is far superior to Dier but Dier has Eriksen to feed off. It was a tentative performance from Rice, not awful, not good, just there. The loss was entirely the fault of the defence and a couple of squandered chances that...

Re: Tottenham vs West Ham Official Match Thread

Would it be possible for someone to put up a link to Ben’s thing where he sits in front of his jizz-covered computer and dissects the game? He seems to have disappeared from youtube and social media a few months ago, all seemed very sudden with no 'This will be my last video' type of post. Hopefull...

Re: Declan's England Debut - The Thread

Southgate seems to prefer Henderson in a slightly more forward role, therefore the battle for the lynchpin defensive midfielder would be between Dier and Rice. Just no contest. Rice offers more mobility, better passing, better quality tackling and an equal threat at set pieces. A long England career...

Re: The Fourth stand

For me it comes down to 4 names: Greenwood, Lyall, Hurst, Devonshire. There’s big arguments for each of them, but for me?.... it’s Devo. Hurst, no-one can argue his global credentials and would be a big “marketing” choice for the club but he never really connected with the fans in the way that Devo...

Re: West Ham vs Newcastle Official Match Thread

I'm not sure anyone has ever described Noble as a great player. However he is very accomplished at a specific role. That role depends on an energetic, brilliant defensive midfielder alongside him. Had Rice appeared 5 years earlier we may have seen Noble reach beyond his current limits. As it is, he...
