West Ham Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2024/25

Saw the second half, great win.

Hammer Archer

Massive game against Boro tonight. Win, and we go 6 points clear of third place. And depending on the result at St. Mary's, we could be top by the end of the day. Shirley Southampton have to drop points at home eventually

Edit: On the wireless here
Good start by the sounds of it.
1-0 Piquionne again.

Hammer Archer

Hull 1 up
Guy Demel finally makes his debut.

pjmn

Sothampton now winning - don't care really as long as we get the 3pts.

COYI

Hammer Archer

CFC wraps it up
Fantastic result and 6 points clear of 3rd.

me89

2-0 great win away from home..

Jelle1880

I was a bit sceptical of how Allardyce would have us play, but you can't argue with these results...

Straight back up imo.

pjmn

Goal King Cole ....

Hammer Archer

Argh :mad: Missed a great chance to go top.

pjmn

Fecking disaster - was listening today - seemed to go to sleep after going one up.... :mad:

Hammer Archer

Yup although just by looking at the (brief) highlights on BBC, we did absolutely everything but score another. Just one of those games.

Sheffield Wednesday in the cup. Pity it wasn't their city rivals Still waiting for revenge for the whole Tevez saga.

Ha good lads.
We've only lost to Southampton away from home so it should be a great game and could go either way.
How many tickets would away fans get for Hillsborough? I'd say there'll be a massive West Ham crowd heading to it.

pjmn

Poor enough fare so far - Demel looks like he's the new 'Dyer' - looks like he pulled a thigh muscle with less than 2 mins gone...

Hammer Archer

Fook.
2 losses in a row and O' Brien and Collison suspended for the Barnsley game. Things are beginning to turn to sh!te. Thankfully Southampton and Cardiff only drew.

Captain Havoc

Looks bad (commentary in French), gonna have to up it a gear to catch Southampton.

vicwatson

Need to get back on track soon or we could go on a bad run, and with the injury/suspended list increasing things are gonna get tight, we'll have to add more quality to the squad in January..

Yes - Papa - on live radio here....

Held on - that last minute was heart stopping - young Pott's sounds like a chip of the old block...

Are you Galwayman on KUMB ?

pjmn

Very perceptive.... Yes.

Hammer Archer

Bah Southampton take the lead against Pompey.
Edit: Scratch that. 1-1

pjmn

ended 1 - 1 - that'll do us nicely...

Hammer Archer

Indeed. Birmingham tomorrow week. Hopefully revenge for the debacle that was the CC semi final second leg last season.

vicwatson

Yeh sounds like he had a super game.

At least Southampton only drew today, boro bringing up the rear, imagine we beat Burnley and Reading (and Cardiff, Ipswich or Southampton - all games we could have won):(

Hammer Archer

Hope my fellow Irons had a good Christmas. 3 points tonight is a must as Southampton have three points in the bag.
Hall and Nouble could be on the bench after coming back from loan. Joey O Brien is back from suspension but Collison is still out.
Come on you Irons!

Cole looked offside there I thought, great finish though.

pjmn

Carlitooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:D

Wasn't it passed back by a defender?

I thought it was headed on by the West Ham wide man and the Birmingham defender was wrong footed/slipped.

Didn't notice.
Ref is a real homer by the looks of it. Handball in the area from Faubert's header goes unpunished and Nolan blatantly tripped near the edge of the box likewise.
8 frees to Birmingham so far and only 2 given to us.

Captain Havoc

That handball was terrible. Goal king Cole* super strike. Two super, super saves.


*I'll grab my coat :pac:

dfx-

Shocking tackle by Nolan. Red card for me.

Should be more than 0-1

Hammer Archer

Yeah lucky boy alright.
Referee's had a nightmare. Another handball 5 yards away in the box missed. We should have had 3 penalties so far.

pjmn

... its going to be a long 15 mins....:mad:

Hammer Archer

3 players around him and he still got the header away :mad:
We've been $hite in the second half but by jesus this ref is doing his best to give Birmingham a helping hand.

pjmn

...well feck that - we could have taken the three points there....

Should have more like ! Bleedin last minutes again - why the hell can't we hold a lead? Why oh why oh why :mad::mad:

Play offs I reckon, just like some of the games we'll concede near the end of the season, we need to be more cutting edge for straight promotion I reckon, we are still too rough around the edges and can't hold that bloody lead :mad:

Captain Havoc

Bristol City just beat Southampton so good news for the promotion push.

Hammer Archer

Lovely. Have to take advantage tomorrow although I'm not confident with all of 9 first team players either injured or suspended.

pjmn

Same here HA - depleted squad is a worry - having said that Derby's form at home is at best mixed - all in all I'd probably take a draw {but to quote KK "I'd love it if we beat dem"}

Hammer Archer

Sweet lantern of jaysus.
Why the hell does Sam continue with Piquionne? This is an absolute disaster. Will probably be out of the auto promotion places by this evening.

pjmn

... I'd take a draw now.... ffs...

Hammer Archer

5 strikers on the bench????
Baldock, Cole, Carew, Sears and Hall.
At least we'll have Nolan, Faubert, Collison and McCartney back for Coventry on Monday.
Our fans sound in good voice as always, despite being 2-0 down.

With 11 players out....

Derby Bistards, that Piquionne is pure and utter dirt

Game here on radio - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8273131.stm

Hammer Archer

Get in Nouble!

pjmn
