Don't know how true this is , but my mate who works in the press has just told me that the reason away games aren't being counted is the swapping of tickets . With home games they're pretty certain that the person whose name the ticket is bought under is the person attending , but with away games they've no idea. Therefore somebody with 7 aways on his membership may only have actually been in person to 3 . No idea if thats true or not, but it's a theory Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Matt summed the handball up perfectly . He said , had it been given he'd have understood why , but would have felt slightly hard done by. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As a S/T holder I'm ok but I'm surprised away games haven't been counted for members . Doesn't seem right to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There's going to be chaos if you're coming from the west . Buses replace trains from Bournemouth to Parkway that day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now I've calmed down I can reflect on the match & performance. Easy to say " they're all hero's" ( and maybe they are),but I thought we had to carry Tadic, he was very poor. Back 4 & OR were superb . Davo did well , worked hard and played a real captains role. JWP had another good game. Fair play to Claude for picking him over Classie. Needs that level week in week out. Redmond was fantastic first half , faded a bit second. JRod still not quite there yet and Long the perfect sub in that game. Despite the temptation to give Stephens motm, it has to be Yoshida or OR for me. Lot of pressure on those 2 to perform . To me Yoshida edges it for playing so well and then marshalling that young lad. He's turning into a club legend!!! Finally Puel. Tactical master piece there. It wasn't surprised tactics or anything new ( I think we'd have all set up like that ), but the drilling and coaching of the formation. The players looked comfortable in the set up and well coached. We had a game plan and stuck to it. His substituations were spot on , particularly Simms for Redmond and PEH instead of Classie. And he deserves utmost credit for chucking Stephens in instead of mixing things up ( as I wanted him to). What a boost for the youngsters on the fringes. Gives me real hope for the future.

Great day for Steptoe today. He pays tribute to a dead policeman , who hasn't actually died . And then labour select a Remainer who called for Turkey to join the EU to fight Nuttell in the Stoke by-election . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. It wasn't as if we had an easy run. Arsenal away ( and ok not a full team, but still pretty decent) and then Liverpool who played their strongest available side twice. Throw the VvD injury into the mix and it's a ****ing great achievement . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that's right. The Puel out brigade weren't over reacting or wrong . Puel was wrong but is changing . Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He's been solid all season Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess winning the Euros makes a difference . Had he not won anything in his career , and unlikely to at West Ham , I'm sure it would have hurt more if he didn't have one of the greatest prizes in his locker Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fair play , but you also gonna stop this Redmond is a championship player nonsense as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let's not go ott . He's clearly not "great" . I've been one of his biggest supporter on here but he's not great. He's just a half decent manager, who matches our model. What wound my clock was the nonsense comparing him unfavourably with Koeman Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thoughts of the Puel out brigade tonight? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, unbelievable performance. Would Koeman have played him? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Penny for Sr Fonte's thoughts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Without VvD, wow . One of the greatest performances in the clubs history considering the circumstances . Well done Puel , tactical masterpiece Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great tactically from Puel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But Redmond's championship level , our forum experts told us Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My issue with her and most of the remoaners is their pathetic attempts to try & claim that they "respect" the result, but just want to ensure its done right blah blah blah. Of course Nigel Farage et al , wouldn't change their position and wouldn't have given up fighting for a leave vote. But they would come straight out with it. They would want to change the British people's minds and force another vote. The remainiacs don't say " we want the British people to change their minds and will set about trying to do that". They wrap it up in pony about the process and the law. They don't respect the result . They're just trying to delay it in the hope that the economy tanks and the British people blame Brexit. I'd have some respect for this Miller bird if she told the truth and was straight . She doesn't respect the vote , she will do everything possible to reverse it and this court case isn't about clarifying the law, it's just a delaying tactic . Problem is, it's backfired a bit. A50 will be triggered, but now it'll have the legitimacy of parliamentary approval, with the added bonus of ****ing on Krankies fireworks. It would have been much better tactically had they left it and stirred up the grievance that May went ahead and triggered it without consulting parliament. They could have eat away at its legitimacy for 2 years, with Krankie banging on about a vote in the devolved legislature . Parliament voting for A50 gives May a little bit more cover when the going gets tough.Krankies defeat can also be thrown back in her face every time she pipes up that it's somehow unconstitutional .Salmonds performance on newsnight was laughable . Claimed that Scots were being treated differently . The dragons den mush pointed out that one Scotsman's vote was equal to one Englishman's vote , what's the difference? It was also pointed out that the UK parliament will have a vote for the MP representing every Englishman and every Scotsman. Salmond arguement would have had way more weight if a PM representing an English constituency had triggered A50 off her own back. Judges ruling that it's a reserved issue ,and unanimously at that, is a big blow to the Sweatys . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty obvious that he's not going to play. Get through this one without him and it'll be one of our greatest achievements . Just can't see it happening , it was hard enough with him. Pretty impossible without, if you ask me. Liverpool maybe missing their two best players but their Sturridge and Orgi would walk into our side , they're pretty decent replacements. We're going to be using a kid that's hardly played a game. Personally I'd really think about putting Betrand in there with McQueen at LB, it's not as if they're going to be chucking balls into the mixer. They'll do us with movement and cleverness. You may get away with a naive nipper heading and tackling , but he's not going to have faced movement , quick feet and quick thinking like this before . Bertrand will be more attuned to it and he did well in a 3 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's pretty obvious when you think about it. Personally I always thought May would try & fanny it and would use this ruling to water down Brexit . Once she accepted we will be leaving the single market it can't really go any other way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Within a few days she'll just put a very simple and short bill in front of parliament . It will be drafted in such a way that amendments will be pretty impossible to insert. This bill will basically give parliamentary approval to trigger A50. At the end of the process she will give parliament 2 choices, leave with her deal or leave with no deal. Anybody who thinks this particular court decision will make a blind but of difference is deluded. The major battle looming is whether once triggered A50 is reversible. All the remoaners have left to cling on to is A50 being reversible and then somehow public opinion changing. Pretty unlikely, but it's their only option left , a Hail Mary in overtime . If A50 is irreversible , and once triggered you leave after 2 years, it's game over for the remoaners. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The West Ham deal would have been pretty much sorted a week before it was announced . There is no way on earth we could have said " do you mind hanging on until after our semi final in case someone gets injured and we need Jose". Complete ****** to suggest otherwise.

A badly drafted referendum bill caused this issue. More incompetence from head remainer Cameron. I'd also question the House of Lords, isn't it their job to scrutinise legislation and pick up on poorly drafted bills? Good news for Nuttall in Stoke IMO . Despite it not making much of a difference to the triggering of A50 labour will be getting themselves in a mess & certain of their remaniacs will be given air time. Although it's dawning on the remainiacs that this won't make a blind bit of difference, especially as Krankie lost her only decent card today, they still won't accept the result. I fully expect a challenge on whether A50 is reversible. May intends to put her deal to parliament with a no vote meaning out on WTO rules, whereas they want staying in on the table. They'll be a court case on that IMO. A50 was drafted to be a 2 year period and you're out regardless of s deal or not. I'm sure the remoaners lawyers will be scanning the small print for a get out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
