Fallen flat on pursuit of Affelay, Shaqiri, Konoplyanka, Sergi Roberto, and now probably Yarmolenko. Sold off our 2 best players. Will finish with more points this season than last.
I'm a west ham fan. I have a bet with some potter friends with fairly serious stakes that we will finish higher in the table than you. By default that means I will make my presence felt in this thread to exchange in witty banter and high grade puns.
Update from the last sad post. Got both Affelay and Shaqiri. Shawcross out for 3 months (back surgery). Cameron and Muniesa will need to stay healthy. We aren't deep at CB.
Coming back for the 2nd consecutive week running Bojan as the False-9. Over 400 minutes since we have conceded in the PL (starting with Shawcross's return)
Good match, both teams had their chances. I think the result accurately reflects the performance of the teams. My buddy and I put a bet each on both games we play against each other, and a separate bet on the end of the season table finish. Since we tied, the first bet $$$ now just goes to fatten the pot for the end of season table bet. Getting spicy now.
Out of 2 competitions this week. I don't have a good feeling going forward in the league unless we make a buy this window.
Really lacking that finisher up top. Arnie, Shaqiri, Bojan, and Imbula (and I'm sure Allen, soon) all create so many chances for such ineffective strikers.
