Flop of the season - from the new lads

Submitted by Gerus on Fri, 03/04/2015 - 21:08

Forums:

I was just wondering we always do the topics on which we discuss our favorites to become the next HOTY but who dissapointed you the most this season. But to get away from the regular discussions about Kevin Nolan and poor Mayy Jarvis let's concentrate on the new lads. Apart from Zarate obvioulsy I have been a bit dissapointed with Valencia personally. Started bright but with time he seems to get less of a sniff in and always seems to run direclty into the first defender he tries to pass 1 on 1. Thoughts?

Home v Away

While on the subject of going to Leicester to batter them (or not), a subject which has always bothered me arose again. Why do most teams (and most definitely ours) play SO differently away from home? The only research I've seen says that while officials can be significantly swayed by a vociferous home crowd, the players don't give a toss that a few thousand people are booing, jeering, or casting aspersions on their female relatives. Very few players are intimidated by noisy crowds, and not a few are actually motivated to play better when jeered at! To my mind it's all in the head, if they are prepared properly psychologically I see no reason why we shouldn't play exactly the same away as we do at home.

Leicester City v West Ham

Seems like an age since our last game.
Leicester sit cleanly bottom of the table, and look doomed. It would take a miracle change in form for them to escape. And while it's said that a wounded animal is very dangerous, surely not a half-dead animal? Yet what's the betting we start the game in a defensive 4-5-1 formation? Shouldn't we being going to The King Power Stadium (I still want to call it Filbert Street!) with the aim of giving them an effective 'coup de grace?' Let's ATTACK them. Thoughts?

FIFA, in an area that truly needs worldwide reform and monitoring, has decided that the problems of the vast amount of cash being taken out of football across the world by 'agents' is too tough a job for them to handle. Instead they have introduced some new "rules" which don't appear to legally mean a damn thing, and then done a runner. Is this organisation of any use whatsoever?

WestHamFans.org is pleased to announce the launch of its new YouTube channel, and to kick things off we have created a classic goals video, taking on board some of the users top goal suggestions. While the channel is still in its infancy, we will be looking to create more fans choice compilations. As well as this if there is enough demand we will be creating pre-game previews and game reviews from videos of fans of the club and fans from the opponents club (co-operation permitted). If you have any suggestions for videos feel free to drop them in the comment section below

I would just like to thank Nev for what he does to keep this forum going. Over the last few months I think most of us have been going through withdrawells with the lack of all things West Ham and for me it has been murder. As an Aussie I rely on this site to keep up with what is happening over there and I love the banter on here so to not be able to get this forum is a pain. The amount of effort that Nev puts in cannot be underestimated and the dedication to this forum is outstanding, so from me a very big thank you Nev, I really appreciate the effort.

I know a lot of people (including myself) are disillusioned with the England team. But somehow when games come along, I can't help but be interested. We seem to have a lot of offensive options, but look pretty poor defensively. Italy seem to be having a few problems currently, so that might make for a good game. I'm predicting a rare English win in Turin. Anyone else interested?
