What Is It With Hammers And Expensive Wingers? Could This One Work?

West Ham have apparently agreed a deal to take winger Michail Antonio, who is currently undergoing a medical, from Nottingham Forest, for a fee believed to be around £6 Million, but with add ons that could push the eventual price up to an eye watering £8 Million, for a Championship player! The last time West Ham United forked out a similar sum for a Championship player was to buy winger Matt Jarvis from Wolves, which has not turned out to have been the best of deals by anyone's imagination. The fact that Forest were not prepared to take Jarvis on loan as part of the original negotiations shows how far his value has plummeted, this is not meant as a criticism of the player's ability, more of the outrageous inflated price that was originally paid. Jarvis was purchased to fire in the crosses for Andy Carroll, so cannot be blamed for the 'Pony Tailed One's' devastating catalogue of injuries since his arrival on another expensive transfer, again sanctioned by Sam Allardyce, from Liverpool this time.
It is to be hoped that Michail Antonio can be more of a Cresswell than a Jarvis. - Ed

I can't believe that not more of you did not say anything when a spuds fan came on the site and run our board down. We can run them down not other clubs . Really surprised no one stuck up for them .

Spent the weekend away. Lovely time, lots of friends that purport to be football fans but Liberace was more devout than them.
Cue 5th beer on Saturday afternoon, wifi kicks in as I casually browse the scores at half time.
Beer went over, friends child soaked, screams, chaos and me just staring at my phone...2-0? How the fu** (one for the org)
Walking away from the screaming child (who was fucking annoying by the way and deserved it - one for Esther) my day swam away and my heart and mind lived in Liverpool.
The brain and basic instinct clicks in and all I can think about is West Ham. The group enquire what the score is, my wife has seen my shark eyes and knows something is on and we're doing well, she knows this'll be a big night.
I tell the plastics something big is going down. They pretend to know and agree, I just prey my 4g holds out.
It did.
When noble went I knew we were ok. The sky was stormy and the mood strange, something was up and the result was on.
When Sakho sent in the 3rd I ordered Moët (the establishment had nothing better) and it went all over the shop. This time everyone screamed. I gave the owner the damages and he was happy.
It doesn't happen often.
Kin sore head this morning by worth it.
This is not why we love West Ham though. This is because we are West Ham.
bring it in now bilic, bring it fucking on.

sendings off

Rodgers claims neither was a sending off. I agree nobles wasn't even a foul but the more I watch coutinhhos the more I see it as a right decision. Whether he pulled out of the tackle or not he still clattered payet to the ground. It was surely a yellow card and of course that meant he was off. Rodgers is looking for excuses imo.
