Nicely timed.

Charlies gone quiet since we had some good news re: contracts. That's a surprise. Not

Seems as if our direction this summer is to tie our main players down to long term contracts. There will still be a couple who go, in my opinion, but the future looks incredibly bright.

Another very big move from the club, shows the ambition is there. Big part of this team for years to come. Got a feeling a few more are on the way as well.

I doubt it was even a thought in his head last summer, going to Utd could cost him his place at the Euro's - if anything, he probably assumed it would cement it. Based on his first half showing at WHU, I'm not surprised. He was a shadow of the player we had here, like a poor clone of him. When Fellani and Carrick are regular's in front of you then you know it's time. I reckon he'll move in the summer.

They are tosh, which is why I'm really hoping we get 6th. Having to go via a third qualifier as opposed to the groups isn't as bad as missing out all together!

As long as we win, then I think we'll be alright. I don't fancy WHU to win if i'm honest, and we're got our noses ahead of Liverpool anyway. Odds on, for sure.

Means very little. We just needed them to drop points.

Great result, we just wanted them to drop points, wasn't bothered about them losing or drawing. 7th is in our hands.

There's still a fair few people getting confused about all this. It's this: 5th - automatic group entry into EL (long shot) 6th - EL - automatic group entry if Man Utd finish in a European spot and beat palace, otherwise 6th is a third qualifier position 7th - EL third qualifier only if Man Utd finish in European positions and win the FA Cup final. (So, exactly the same scenario as last season where we wanted an Arsenal win) Liverpool winning the EL makes no difference. We just need to win, see where it takes us. If it's 7th, root for Utd against Palace.

As long as we beat Palace and West Ham/Liverpool slip up in one of the remaining 3 games, then we will get at least 7th. Still very much on, just that the higher than 7th chance is a little slimmer now.

6th is tricky now, really needed this result for that to happen. Need a big favour from Chelsea tomorrow.

Well City are probably having a party right now, they must be thanking their lucky stars that Utd are so horrifically bad.

Well that back fired! Well done WHU.

Carrick for Morgan I'd expect. I imagine he'll be available in the summer.

Well, the only good thing to come out of that half is that it's 1-0. The only way they're getting back in it in the 2nd half is if they can bring on some footballers at HT, but the chances are slim.

Utd might as well **** off home tbh, they're not even bothering. What an atrocious team they are.

Was it the WHU v Millwall cup game at Upton Park a few years back that turned really, really nasty? (both fans invading the pitch etc)

West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm worried about the supporters. We had a wonderful show planned and some won't be able to stay now."

Edit

Maybe someone should show him the video. What a moron. I'd usually quite enjoy man utd getting ****, but WHU irritate the **** out of me - esp. their chairman and their ''bigger than everyone'' attitude.

Yeah, this makes it even more odd though. He hasn't signed that new contract yet, lots of talk about it....but it was left with ''it's with the lawyers' and now he's spotted with his coaching staff and a Utd advisor. Hmmm. I really hope there's something in this, it could be a very fun summer if that's the case.

There are some nice little chats on the spurs forums, reminds me of how we felt when he was touting himself around at the end of his time here. A sweet little bit of karma may be on the way.

Yeah, bloody utd. Trashing their own coach. Anything to disrupt the West Ham Utd festival of life.

Looks like Jesus, yeah. Maybe it's just a manger to ex manager chat? Or does Fergie still have a 'proper' say at the higher echelons at Utd? He hasn't actually signed the deal he spoke about, which does make you wonder.
