Some good points made on here, especially by Darren Caskey's Dietician. I agree with Basingstoke Royal too. Shorey has been out of sorts all season IMO. Just a dip in form though, nothing too major I hope. Bikey I think was probably dropped because of his trip to Tokyo and back. Overall though, I think that the 11 players that Coppell played should have been capable of getting a draw at least.

We fans were poor too. The West Ham fans were right. On Saturday, our support was O*ford shite. I think we should all resolve to put in a better performance next time out.

Yes, at the moment they really are that bad.

If they're that bad at Sunderland and at home to Wigan we start to panic, right?

Kitsondinho 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 we can do so again!

I'd be surprised if we did. As for the money we spent well that's rubbish, we spent only £11 million and £7mil of that is out for the season with another £6 mil out until christmas at least.


Scott Parker £ 7,000,000
Julien Faubert £ 6,100,000
Craig Bellamy £ 7,500,000
Kieron Dyer £ 6,000,000
Fredrik Ljungberg Undisclosed
Kyel Reid Undisclosed
Nolberto Solano Undisclosed

= £11 million :roll:

But I suppose that the £8.5 million you got for Reo-Coker covers some of it.

And the £4m they got for Harewood and the £3m plus for Konchesky

EDIT and £5m for Benayoun.

Tilehurst Mike
Gordons Cumming Now they're having a go at Doyle!!!!!!

FFS

:roll:

What a bunch of t*ts!!


He deserves it--to be honest he has been bloody awful. In future if I want to see what Lino (lita) looks like I'll go to Allied Carpets!


maybe he hasn't been good so far this season but if you look at it we have have had a rather difficult start.

Supporting the team is one thing, but get your head out of your arse. Doyle and Shorey all need dropping, as they miles away from the form and effort showed last year.

For me Shorey and Doyle are only doing the bare minimum they have to in games (compared to last year), so the management either sort them out or drop them both.

Golborne, DLC. There's two options for a start.

Would they play better than Shorey?

Rosenior until Shorey sorts his attitude out. Who then plays right wing ?

The club is in turmoil, the new signings are poor and the best players from last season ain't performing.

Don't worry at the start if August most posters on here could see "no reason" why we won't finish 8th.

Isn't Rosenior a right back?

In fact, I wondered who would play right wing since we stupidly let Seol go to Fulham. I blame the booers.

Kyle Ried, where did you get him from, he came through our youth team?

We're one of the lowest spenders in the PL this past window.

Seol wanted out I don't blame Coppell for selling him, however with Little's long term injury he should of signed a replacement early in the summer.

I think you'll see Rosenior play right wing, but ultimately he's been signed to replace Murty who looks like his legs have gone.

EDIT and £5m for Benayoun.


So I was wrong. However, the £11 million figure is still incorrect because they spent just over £26 million (maybe a bit more with the undisclosed stuff) and got around £20.5 million back.

Probably.

Ljungberg would be ~ £5 million, if SSN were to be believed

Solano a good couple of million as well.
