  1. Flynn will do everything he can to stay at West Ham, he is a lifelong West Ham fan, and it was his dream move to go there. It was just that Moyes didn't fancy him (I know, he was signed under Moyes and given a 5 year contract with a one year option), but now he's gone (or going) everything is back on the table and I think it unlikely that he will be with us next season, though I do think we are second favourites. Really don't think he would look for a move elsewhere. Shame because he is a quality player and key to our success.
  2. Jamie Carragher, Jamie Carragher, Jamie Carragher are definitely the worst three.
  3. How do you know for sure that practicing helped him? Perhaps he would have scored them all anyway.
  4. No. Extra time and then pens if needed.
  5. Surprising given West Ham looks though they are going to appoint Lopetegui, would have thought Downes would fancy his chances at his club once Moyes is out of the way.
  6. The Skates aren't the only team promoted from League One, could be Derby or whoever wins the play-off. Even if it was the Skates, it would be OK as long as we were promoted as well, preferably with us winning the League and them being beaten into second place.
  7. Or even 8 conceded in the last 4 games. I am no fan of McCarthy but to be fair he hasn't done bad apart from Leicester, and I'm not sure you could blame him much for those goals. Can't see that Lumley would have done much better, but of course we'll never know.
  8. Think you're confusing "Premier League quality" with "played (experienced) in the Premier League". Its clear Adams should have scored more, given how many sitters he has missed, but that's because he is not PL quality. Not so sure about Armstrong, although he too has had a plethora of good chances which he has not converted (but not shocking misses like Adams).
  9. He is only just 16, playing for the u21s and giving them 5 years or more is a bit of an ask, especially for a CF. By the way how does it work that he also plays for Venezuela u17s and previously for Portugal u15s?
  10. He played for the U18s against Brighton on Saturday and against Reading last week in the 9-0 win.
  11. You should both try watching the 'highlights'. Bree was a couple of yards short of THB initially, when their forward moved it forward (to his right), Bree didn't move, as THB had clearly taken the initiative, they were a good 5 yards or more away from Bree when he put in the shot. As I said before you could fault Bree (as Franny said), but it certainly wasn't a case of defenders strolling back as Derry stated. Of course it was a full backs ball to deal with but we have hardly played with a traditional left back all season, one or other full backs always push up leaving 3 at the back, or even 2 quite often. Hence Manning is always out of position and is defensively hopeless. Yesterday it was Bree who I think is marginally better defensively, but in the system we play neither of them is expected to be a traditional full back and THB would have been expected to close this down, he tried but failed. Not saying I agree with this but this is how we play and how we have played nearly all season, to expect anything different on MD45 is naive.
