Colchester United tonight
Forums:
Anyone going to this one? Payet and Sakho not eligible for Malta game, so good chance they will get another run out. Several ex West Ham youngsters, including George Moncur in the U's squad.

hi every one wonder if you are in agreement with me that Bobby Moore should be on the new 20 pound note i think votes have to be in today !
New striker needed
Forums:
Blimey, Daily Telegraph is saying Carroll won't be ready until Mid-October. We need to get someone else in surely now if true. Looks like Payet is a good find from today's game.

Would anyone go to Romania should we play Astra?
Forums:
So the draw for the next round is out. Still a long way to go but should we play Astra in Romania would anyone of you guys go on a tour and watch the game live. As some of you know I live in Bulgaria and I'm holding my breath for us to play Astra. Should we play them how on earth would I receive my ticket back in Bulgaria if they're released on General Sale 4 days before actual game?
We are 5th in table of % filled grounds.

Downing Departs
Stewart Downing has joined his boyhood club Middlesbrough on a four year deal for a fee believed to be £5.5 Million, rising to as much as £8 Million should the Championship team attain promotion to the Barclays Premier League. Not a bad bit of business for both clubs, Downing is 31 years old next week, so to have recouped their initial outlay and remove a large earner of the books, Hammers seem to have done rather well. However Downing was one of West Ham's best players last season, particularly when used at the tip of the diamond formation, indeed Slaven Billic has stated that he did not want Downing to move, but understood the player's desire to return to his 'spiritual' home.
Middlesbrough have acquired a player at his peak, who will inspire his team mates, he will obviously be made captain by Aitor Karanka and should grace the Riverside for the rest of his playing career. How he gets on with the rough and tumble of the Championship is a matter of some conjecture, but he gave his all for West Ham, and deserves praise for putting up with some atrocious managerial formation decisions. All West Ham fans will wish him well, and if he helps get Middlesbrough promoted he will have added a couple of million pounds in to the transfer kitty! -Ed
Goodbye Adrian?
Forums:
Ok, no formal bids have been offered that I'm aware of so no need to panic just yet.
However after reading of Manure's goalkeeping crisis on the BBC website www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33531333 is there the possibility/danger they could look to us to solver their dilemma?
Adrian proved his worth last season with some excellent performances and should easily retain his status as WH No.1 come the season proper. Would we be able to deflect any advances from the big guns should they come knocking and would he even think of leaving us after such a short spell?
There are still 48 days of the transfer window to go and whilst no-one has come knocking for our has beens we've also, so far, not had anyone come in looking at our first 11 other than Downing who moved for personal reasons.
Should we be worried about Adrian or any others leaving?
Great to see the tortoises back
