Obiang v Oxford v Poyet

Submitted by Apache on Thu, 13/08/2015 - 19:26

So, Obiang seems to be fit. Poyet I thought had an excellent pre-season and Oxford made that astonishing debut against L'Arse. Assuming we play the same formation against Leicester, which of the three do you think Bilic should go for?

If it was up to me, I would probably start off with Obiang for the first hour or so, gentle introduction into the Premier League as it were and then replace him, probably with Poyet, I think he deserves some game time after his Europa League stint.

Oxford I would probably save for another day, let the hype settle down a bit.

Then again, there is always Nolan!

With their efforts to sign a striker failing to materialise, and Enner Valencia being unavailable for at least three months, the West Ham board are believed to have adopted a plan 'b' approach, and are now looking at 'cover' strikers instead of one marquee signing. Mindful of the all your eggs in one basket big risk strategy, it appears that the club have turned their attention to Swansea's unwanted striker Michu. At one point in time his value had risen to £20 Million, he scored 22 goals in his first season, but an ankle injury and a serious falling out with Swansea manager gary Monk saw him eventually sent out on loan to Napoli, where he only made seven appearances. We reported Hammers' testing the water for a deal a long while ago, however Labrokes have suddenly taken a big interest as a result of some keen betting within the last 24 Hrs which leads them to believe that Michu could be Boleyn bound. He is another player that comes with a pile of baggage needed to fit his ego, but Slaven Billic could be the man to get him firing on all cylinders again, and depending on the number crunching he could definitely be worth a punt! - Ed

Haircuts or hair by Maurice..?

Firstly apologies to anyone called Maurice. No slur intended...Anyway as I have mentioned in another thread I thought Zarate had a particularly nice haircut on Sunday. Which leads me to ask as the Premier League is under way again. We can all marvel at the array of haircuts on offer. Personally I sport a bit of a quiff, so it's nice to see all the side parting Martins out there. (Apologies to anyone called Martin, again no slur intended). However, my thoughts go out to dear old Marouane Chamakh no further explanation needed......

Help needed guys plz

Hey guys I need some advice.
After 5 years on the waiting list I finally have a disabled season ticket for this year.
It`s a wheelchair based one for myself and a carer (my son-in-law). However since getting the ticket I`ve found out that I`ve got cancer (again) & am going to be in & out of hospital for the next 4 months having the dreaded Chemotherapy & obviously I won`t be able to go to all the games I had planned to.
Anyone know what is the ruling on letting someone else use my ticket on the days I`m unable to?. I`m not really interested in the ticket trader option as my daughter is an armchair fan who would jump at the chance of going.
I`ve read that able bodied seats are offered out to friends & family with no problem but my daughter appearing in a wheelchair space without a wheelchair would be obvious that she`s not disabled.
My seat/space is right up in the upper corner where it is just an area with no markings for each wheelchair unlike pitch side where carer has designated seat directly behind the wheelchair.
I suggested that she go to the games using my wheelchair but she is 100% against that idea on moral & ethical grounds, which I admire her for.
Any help, suggestions or ideas would be gratefully received.

Sakho

Just read that Sakho was arrested a few days prior to the Arsenal game for assault on his girlfriend. Now that is worrying if his court appearance in September results in prosecution. Would be a big blow but not condoning anything if true. Hence major need for a striker.

In the spirit of technological advancement, is there a way of restoring the search function on ones own posts. One used to be able to go into their account and see all those posts they had created themselves? That way your not rude if someone responds and you cannot see it.
Similarly, in the active forum, there used to be a update number next to it to say how many people had commented on that post since you last logged in, that way if someone has responded to your post you could reply.
Obviously its a "nice to have" but I don't get the opportunity to log in as much these days and it would make browsing faster and more polite to those who have responded.
Now, I must go, my trimmer is charged and my testicles are long overdue a short back and sides.

Joey Barton

Submitted by edwindup on Mon, 10/08/2015 - 16:32

Blimey it is being reported that Joey Barton is having a medical with us tomorrow. What do people reckon on this. I gather he is free agent. He does some steel but his discipline record is not . Is he a fit for us?
