I was refering to the reaction to Baines comments, not the reaction of your neighbours being put in their place.

It's ok. Despite never having met Baines or knowingly been rude to him on here, he appears to have taken a dislike to me and if I said the sky was blue he would probably slag me off for it. Some men don't like women. :roll: Without wanting to be added to your 'but he's taken a dislike to me and my ...

I'm not too worried about Shorey at the moment. He's not lived up to his form of last season yet but I think he'll knuckle down now the window has closed. Obviously if his form doesn't improve then Coppell will have to take some action, but I think a poor Shorey is still better than a good Golbourn ...

Solano was a freebie and Freddie was £2m rising to a possible £3m. No-one can deny that weve have spent money this summer but on the other hand its also a fact that we have recovered the vast amount of it from the sale of existing players. True So to get back to my original point (and amend it sl...

West Ham will be a top 6 side this year. they have spent more money than our entire playing staff would cost. We are not going to do as well this year. If we lose to Derby, Sunderland, Brum etc then I will panic. Staying up should be our only goal. We got done like this last year and came back and ...

Duberry for Bikey was a ridiculous decision. I do think that Bikey has that extra yard of pace over Doobs which might just have saved us a goal or two today. Probably not though. I thought it was a surprising decision to be honest as Bikey has played out of his skin the last couple of weeks. It als...

As soon as Coppell takes the Cups seriously then I'll start attending. Would fielding the same team he did against Swansea count as 'taking it seriously' ? Or is the clamour for him to give Henry and Pearce a game going to get louder ? Just because some people call for the promising youngsters to g...

Yet all the top 4's managers complain loudest about the quality yet it's their fault. Exactly. The best way to solve the problem BR rasied is for clubs to actually use the reserve team in the way Coppell did last year. That way more reserve teams would involve a regular splattering of first team sq...

Agreed but it shoes the comparative strength we have. We really need to play one or two of them in the next LC game IMHO. Would like to see Pearce, Henry and S Cox get a game. Agreed. But I do think we'd see a positive from another short loan spell for the likes of Henry and Pearce. RR is right abo...

Interesting that Gibbs was managing the side again.

Is this now a permenant thing or was McDermot just away doing some last minute scouting before the trasnfer window closes?

Players rarely ask to be transfer listed as this usually means giving up the right to any outstanding bonuses/signing on fees owed to them. It's not hard to work out the maths though.... Any outstanding bonuses will be minimal at the start of a season, unless there are 'loyalty' payments, which a p...

What we gonna do with £10M? We'd never spend, never be able to replace Shorey with a player of similar quality. We'll keep him and take the £60m tv revenue every season. Well hopefully, but thats a big assumption that Shorey will do a Sidwell and maintain his form whilst we 'force' him so see out...

I don't desperately want to believe it, I do believe it as I know it for a fact. To be honest I'm not that bothered whether he signs or not as I don't think he's that special. Personally I don't disbelive that Shorey would like to join West Ham. I'd be disappointed that that was the extent of his a...

Sodje hasn't actually gone yet has he ? And Bennett is only out on loan. Either way their effectively 'not in our squad.' Sodje could play for us on Saturday - he's still training with us and still registered to us. Yes, but he's obviously deemed surplus to requirements and the fact that he didn't ...

Adz1871 Why did the ball keep going backwards?

Henry looked to be very effective on the Blackburn Res highlights. Perhaps he's got the bit between his teeth following the doubts over Little's future fitness. He is though, only worth having on the bench if Coppell thinks he's up to the job. I hope he is, and that he's given a chance to prove it.

True, but we're going round in circles. I believe it as I have good reason to. In fact it's indisputable to me, but not my place to say why. So I'll believe it you wont, can't say I blame you either.
