The metro are running a vote on the greatest midfielder in prem history. Usual suspects on there, well the lads on kumb have high jacked the vote so far been voting regular and now Steve lomas the only hammer on there as we don't count lampard, has risen to the top above scholes. Let's keep him there I'm off to vote. Not sure what the address is just clicked on a link. Steve needs our votes
I didn't see the match but Randolph gets a good write-up here, albeit a lot focuses on his old man:

Good for us having a decent backup keeper to call from
Ahead of this weekend's Barclay's Premier League 'top six' clash against fellow Londoners Crystal Palace, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has been handed a boost and a headache, with virtually a full squad to select from! When was the last time Hammer's have been able to name FOUR top strikers in their squad? Andy Carroll and Enner Valencia have joined Diara Sakho and Mauro Zarate to complete a formidable forward line up, one which will be aided and abetted by the electric dynamism of Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini.
Without wanting to overly criticise the old guard too much, dear old Carlton Cole did not exactly strike fear in to the opposition, despite giving his all when wearing the Claret and Blue.
Of course it could all go 'pete tong', Carroll is made of glass and could well be a contender for the Kieron Dyer Cup by the end of the season, but even wearing tinted spectacles it is hard to say that West Ham United have not moved on to the' next level' that fans had been promised by continuous spin over the last 25 years, but never saw anything come to fruition.

Just wondering guys what this means as a member and a non-season ticket holder does it mean i go into a que for a season ticket for next season
Just what is it that West ham have done for lawrenson to keep having digs at us....his latest in his prediction league is for palace to beat us 2-1 fair enough as he always has us down for a loss!! but to then say Palace more likely to finish in the top four than west ham if there was to be a surprise package just goes to prove he has a dislike for us but for the life of me I don't no what it is can someone explain it to me please?
How much do you watch? every game if you could or do you keep to a strict diet of prem only no other division or maybe you go cosmopolitan and watch the games across Europe that are on at various times across the channels or are you a live football person only who has to be at the match for the atmosphere and watch highlights only?personally if I cannot go to a west ham match(because of work that's quite often)I will watch MOTD but that's getting harder now because setting up to record the last 5 mins to see us play does not at the moment work damn slaven and his creative free scoring style!
so just how discerning are you? I don't watch champs league until the knockout stages cup games unless its a derby or an actual chance of a giant killing watching man utd/chelski/gooners at home against a minnow that's a turn off straight away....I do delve into championship games of an evening as I like to see if there is some player that catches the eye and maybe could do a job for us....the prem games I will watch the Monday night game and on sunday if not doing family stuff I will watch the 4pm game....Spanish/Italian/german football sounds exciting and I do not doubt the standard but I find it hard to get excited watching those games dutch football can be entertaining at times and I may look at one of those now and then...so I reckon I will probably watch 3 games a week when the seasons are in full flow across Europe how about you?
With the international break finished we can look forward to a long uninterrupted run of domestic games until the spring, starting against Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Hopefully all those who have been off representing their countries will have returned intact, and Slaven Bilic should have an almost full squad to choose from, although it might be a game or two early for Song and Valencia (BTW what has happened to Joey, heard nothing about his injury for weeks?)
Palace are flying, and I expect a tough game for our under fire full backs. But with them above us in the league, I consider us underdogs for this game! So hopefully we wont under-estimate them, and we can hope for an away performance more like our first 3 away games.
On form it should be a high scoring draw, but since when has form been much use in predicting games with West Ham? :-) So I expect 0- 0.
What do others think?
and the new players are fitting in nicely but is anyone worried that come the summer transfer window a few of the bigger clubs will try to pick of the likes of Payet or Lanzini. It's been reported that BFS will be after Tomkins but I can't see him wanting to go after signing the new deal earlier but Payet, Lanzini, Sacko now they are a different kettle of fish. Hope not but money talks.
