I'm talking about the multiple chances we had to shoot either inside the box or just outside. I don't think you can use Victors shot from 40 yards off balance with his weaker foot as a reason to not have a pop.... We have a problem that none of Tadic, Davis, JWP, Elia, and Mane seem to be able to shoot from the edge of the box.

SHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I almost don't think it's the referee's fault. For them all to be this bad,the guidance from the FA must be dreadful. No consistently, poor decisions. However, ones like who did it come off last they should get right.

Thats "Allardici" for you!

Too much of a nice guy B-dog!

I've done a Q+A for their forum, anyone that's interested can read here: http://westhamonline.net/forum_flat.php?7765044||1||

Supposedly Reid and Collins are also fit for midweek. Tomkins has dodgy hamstrings and might not be fit for 3 games in 6 days.

Again updated after the weekend - it's so unbelievably close!! Could be 5 points between 3rd and 8th after the midweek games if West Ham beat us. Every tiny mistake matters!

The big difference between them this year and last year is they actually have some strikers. As much as I hate Carroll, he's had a good season this year, and is always a threat up top, They have some decent full backs who offer something going forward and they have an excellent DM in Song. We'll have to play well to beat them, and they've got goals in them, especially on the break.

There is no rush, we're not going to go down, and yes it would be nice for him to play this season, but i'd rather he was fully ready before he came back. Would be a nice return, on the last day of the season at Man City, to come on and score and fire us into the Champions League !

That's the one....name seems apt!

There is the engineers weld which is decent but home fans only, just don't wear colours. We're going to drink in the Churchill Arms in Notting hill FWIW.

Has anyone got any spares? Mate who is a STH can now go and is after a ticket...

Said the same thing coming out of the ground on Sunday, however I don't see a place for him in the team at the moment - still not sure where he plays.

Would be very tempted to start with Mane and Elia, Pelle up top, Tadic on the bench. However it leaves us pretty weak from the bench. If we get get ahead I think we'll see it out.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mauricio-pochettino-made-southampton-winning-5110028? Yes he did very well here, but he's talking like we'd never won before he arrived. We've had a winning mentality at the club for about 6 years now.

The problem is he is absolutely brilliant at what he does, and we have arguably missed him when he's played deeper recently. But the problem is he doesn't offer enough going forward. Will certainly be interesting to see what happens once everyone is fit.

They'll certainly be better prepared without him there, a real shame.

Thanks mate

Yeah saw something was going on from a distance, what happened?

West Ham scrapping around for a CB. Been linked to Distin, Kaboul, Caulker and Vidic in the last hour!

Hardly a surprise.

Come home Rickie...be a great alternative to Pelle.

But you do pick up on everyone elses smallest mistakes and correct them, so not really a surprise ppl are jumping on it....
