International thread.

Just a punt of a thread, we often criticise who is in the England squad, so I was wondering who you would include? So who has excited you enough that you would like to see given a run in the England team? There are some stipulation tho. No hammers players as we are all biased. You can include players who have the odd cap but no longer feature, you can also include championship players and to make it interesting even players that were eligible to play for England but chose another country. I will start with 2 Bournemouth players, Harry arter and Matt Ritchie

Payet's replacement

Submitted by stuartb on

The general consensus seems to be that Lanzini can step into this role in the short term. Let's hope so.
From the youngsters, Josh Cullen may be given a go. Let's see.
Thinking completely out of the box, longer term (after Real Madrid have bought Payet for £50 million) I'm going to throw the names of Jonjo Shelvey and Jack Wilshire into the ring. This is not as "far out" as would first seem. Both grew up as big West Ham fans, surrounded by West Ham friends and family. Both are creative midfielders and English internationals. If West Ham outdo Swansea this year, why wouldn't Jonjo fancy a move back home? He is still known to be an avid Hammer. And in Wilshire's case, if he can't get a regular central position for Arsenal where does he go next? To a team just round the corner and just a few places below in the league. My brother sat next to Jack at the Wembley play off final against Blackpool and if he is not a Hammer he is a very good impersonator of one (no matter what he tells the Arsenal fans).
Whilst we on the topic of West Ham fans, get behind Louisa Johnson on X Factor who is an avid Hammer. She's definitely going to win anyway as she's a star in the making and her big ambition is to sing at the Boleyn before the season is out.

petty i know but it just bugs me

Okay its a slow week so I thought I would post this and see what else annoys you about football...for me its the whole away kit/3rd/4th/5th/etc that really really annoys me...back in the day if there was a colour clash teams of course change into the away kit which was of course perfect but nowadays because of commercialism kits of all colours are warn colour clash or not....for instance arsenal against sheff wed in the cup no colour clash there yet arsenal played in some dreadful all blue kit errrrr sheff wed play in blue white stripes so arsenals traditional red and white would of been perfect......now sunday quite a rarity occurred with arsenal/spuds both playing in there club colours...this is how things should be...I love our away kit but when it doesn't clash with the home team then lets wear our claret&blue its who we are and I like seeing clubs who play us at the Boleyn in there traditional kit if no clash occurs....petty I know but like I said it just bugs me

Well, well, well better get Jungle Bob on standby. Apparently old Sicknote is going on I'm a celebrity get me out of here. Now, where to start with this one. So many gags so little time. I just wonder how they will refer to him. Ex premier league accident and injury prone footballer. Just hope they have lots of plaster of Paris on standby, my money is on him getting injured in the hotel and not even making the welcome party..........................

A few things to ponder...

Submitted by Hammers65 on

Any news on how long our main man payet will be out? i know hes having a scan but maybe im being a bit impatient!Also anyone know whats going on with Antonio?A few of us commented on why jelavic is coming on instead of him?,jelavic is offering nothing, surely antonio is worth a try??Also i rate Zarate,but noticed when he came on (a few on here have commented on this before) he didnt half hog the ball,& decided to shoot on goal rather than pass to (imo) players that were in better positions than him!!Last thing lanzini what a player (his goal was top drawer) what a find he is....A few things to ponder people.....
