Lawro strikes again!
Forums:
I appreciate Lawro is a twat however sour grapes springs to mind over the recent Liverpool game.
His summary and prediction of the Norwich game:
West Ham are another team that had 120 minutes of FA Cup football in midweek, with their extra-time win over Liverpool on Tuesday.
The Hammers are not playing that well anyway, but fatigue from that tie is part of the reason I am backing Norwich here, despite the Canaries' dismal form that has seen them lose five league games in a row and drop into the bottom three.
The last time Norwich had a positive result was when they won back-to-back home games against Southampton and Aston Villa at the turn of the year.
Alex Neil's team have conceded eight goals in their past two home games and they desperately need their results at Carrow Road to improve because their away form is not going to keep them up.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Payet Nailed Down For Two Extra Years
As every West Ham fan knows, unless they have been asleep or on a desert island, Dimitri Payet's deal with the club has been extended by two years and the player will receive a further £20,000 per week in wages. This might seem like a huge pay hike, but it still means that Slaven Billic's 'main man' will be earning less than Andy Carroll, who was signed for £85,000 per week following his £15 Million transfer from Liverpool. There is so much money sloshing around World football at the moment with both the Chinese and Arab Leagues adding their huge resources to the pot, throw in the MLS and then the huge amount of money Barclays Premier League clubs are about to receive when the new TV deal kicks in, and you have all the elements for potentially explosive bidding wars for players. David Gold and David Sullivan, not forgetting the 'Lady', are shrewd operators and have obviously seen the writing on the wall and acted quickly to keep hold of their prime asset, they have also recently signed up other valuable 'assets' on long term contracts to try and head off potentilally damaging departures. West Ham fans of old were used to the club selling their best players, so the new modus operandi is incredibly uplifting and refreshing, long may it continue! One storm on the horizon though, no matter what is written in a contract players and their agents now wield so much power that if either the player or agent really wants a move, they WILL get it! This is the nature of the beast that is modern day football, it won't change, so it is better to accept a long term view, one that hopefully sees West Ham United as one of the clubs players want to go to. - Ed

Scousers love to play the victims!
Forums:
The one thing that seems to be coming clear over the last couple of decades is that scousers just love to play the victims! Just read a lot of their comments about Tuesday's game and they really just don't get they are now only a mid table team. Over 95 per cent of them were slagging everything off other than their team. Said we were a disgrace from the start. Constantly throwing ourselves to the ground, long ball, never a penalty or a free kick for our goal. Ordinary players, ref gave us everything, not once did we get any credit. They played a shadow team whilst we played our best team! No mention of us playing Randolph and joey and obiang. Or missing sakho, song, Adrian, Lanzini, byram, Tomkins. The closest I came was when one person stated they haven't beaten us in four games and only scored one goal. We were described as a very limited team! It's about time the media and their fans realise that most things in Liverpool are just a myth! No not everyone in Liverpool is funny, not everyone can sing, their fans are not that knowledgeable or gracious in defeat and most importantly the team is currently no more than a mid table team who buy over priced players that are over rated.
