Sherwood confirmed as new manager

West Ham are, somewhat annoyingly, absolutely dreadful today

The hallowed turf is looking mighty fine today....

Or....if only West Ham's defending was as poor as this when they played us....

All "student fees" do is put graduates on a different tax band to non -graduates when they start earning a decent wage. When one starts a job with a decent income one doesn't 'worry' about how one is going to pay this months PAYE 'debt, it comes out at source and you budget what to do with the rest of your income accordingly. I just don't see it as a debt, its note of an investment if anything....

The 'real' me isn't as politically dogmatic as the online me.... Believe it or not

My daughter is in her last year at 6th form and I'm placing equal emphasis on university and apprenticeships. I never went to university and it never did me any harm....

Sounds like you might be "better placed than most" to highlight their misconceptions too?

In which case, I wonder why they are so late in being presented if there's nothing complex about them?

Here's the FA statement: http://www.thefa.com/news/governance/2015/feb/adrian-wrongful-dismissal-claim-upheld Which to me confirms it was withdrawn solely because they decided it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity, not that it wasn't an infringement by the keeper, nor deemed to have been preceded by a foul by Mane. If Adrian hadn't dived onto the ball then surely Mane would have had a goal scoring opportunity? Edit: the common consensus amongst West Ham fans seems to be that it couldn't have been an "obvious goal scoring opportunity" as they were both moving away from the goal, not towards it, which is a fair point I guess. That said, it wouldn't have taken a lot for Mane to nick the ball away from Adrian's feet (if he hadn't dived on top of it) and slipped it into the goal with a nimble 90 degree spin.

Ian Abrahams (Moose) ‏@BroadcastMoose Good decision overturning Adrian's red card as he wasn't preventing a goalscoring opportunity So, what else stopped Mane getting to the ball and having a shot if it wasn't Adrian's intervention....?

Fixed it for you

Carroll ruled out for the rest of the season

"But apart from that...."

Superb

Koeman wins!

There's only one way Pompey's cash flows...

Making favourable assumptions on injuries, my team would be.... Forster Clyne - Fonte - Alderweireld - Targett Davis - Wanyama - Schneiderlin Mane - F. Djuričić Pelle Subs: K. Davis, Yoshida, Gardos, Reed, JWP, Tadic, Elia

Yes we are or yes we aren't?

There's some distance between "isn't good" and "a disaster". I agree that our striker situation could have turned out better (partly in hindsight), but I'm not about to start using hyperbolic words such as "disaster". The situation that Alps highlights would have been a "disaster" if we were now sitting in Leicester's position.
