by Preview Percy

Hull City v West Ham UnitedFriday, 31st March 2017
by Preview Percy
''Preview Percy doesn't enjoy international breaks because he doesn't get to do his thing. Funnily enough we enjoy them for precisely the same reason. However, if for some unaccountable reason, you've missed him, he is back and here's his look at this weekend's trip to Hull.......''

''I like Slaven Bilic - which doesn't qualify him as a good manager, but I believe he is a good person (although Laurent Blanc may not agree). He is the sort of person I'd happily spend a night in the pub chatting with. He has an engaging warmth and I believe the players like that...''

No time to be fickle, Bilic in or out?Monday, 20th March 2017
by Adam Smith
''Another loss, another defensive disaster, and another three goals scored. And sure, there is no time to be fickle for West Ham United and their supporters when it comes to the elephant in the room, but is there justification for wanting Slaven Bilic out?..''
