I saw him play for Bologna at Hellas Verona the night before we played Milan. Best player on the park in a decent 0-0. He’s just done his ACL though so he misses Scotland in Germany this summer 😭

That Dougie Freidman might know a thing or two about talent

😀

And you’re comparing his appointment at Real Madrid with his appointment at West Ham he’s a good appointment… at West Ham…

And after he’s left Newcastle he’ll continue to get chances at big clubs . So has Lopetegui after his achievements at Seville. That’s how it works. I think he’s a decent appointment for West Ham.

People letting the good be the enemy of the excellent is illogical but will never go away Is Thomas Tuchel likely to roll up in Stratford then? … would West Ham be mad to appoint Kieran McKenna?… no one gets a fuckin chance do they? We appointed someone who’d never finished above 10th in the premier league… I wasn’t keen (I thought Emery would’ve been great and was disappointed when he turned us down) but it’s not been too shabby has it?

He was very good at Seville… less good at Real and with Spain but West Ham are hardly likely to be able to attract a coach from the level above… he did pretty well at Wolves, they looked fucked but they ended up 13th or something?..

Decent for the hammers…can’t see Paqueta and Kudus hanging around though…

When Bleasdale wrote that scene it was Keegan who was the Liverpool player. He left in 1977 so the player and the dialogue was changed. Fuckin class all the same

If you were still at school the morning after that episode of Boys from the Blackstuff came out you’ll know the power of a time when we only had 4 TV channels Not to do him the disrespect of just limiting his achievements to that, he was a great actor. Played Lech Walesa in a sort of biopic. RIP Bernard

Fuck off you useless part time cockney cunts

You’ve missed their pre season game v crack European outfit Newport Isle of Wight FC . They had to get a ferry there

If we beat Brighton and they (very conceivably) lose the next two we’ll just need a point… games v Sheff Utd and Burnley will probably save Spurs in 5th

I’ll just leave this here 😆

Did Ritchie have “more than 3 corners and both teams to score” on his slip today?

Lovely fuckin goal that mind, great long ball from err, Hall

You off the booze? Looks like a glass of Orange Crush you’ve got there ☺️

FUCKIN YES CAL

No, he’s gone for the grade 0 all over and nerdy specs. Like a Gaelic Michael Stipe
