It's all going so well isn't it? West Ham playing the 'west ham way'. The owners have kissed and made up with Allardyce. Downing is in the best form of his life. The diamond formation is working a treat. Based on these reasons and life being as it is i.e. a ****, I would say back down to Earth with a frustrating 2-1 loss.

my father in law follows this mob really do not want to lose this one treble babe of the day if we do the business

[claretnblueglasses]

Was wondering where this was!

Any news on Kouyate and Noble? Would be great to have one back never mind them both. Either way we have enough quality to win this, though it won't be easy.

Going to this and still not seen us win away since the Championship so hopefully a first! Or maybe I should just stay at home :arry:

Gold has said that everyone bar Carroll should be fit.

[w4hammer]

got my dates completely messed up what with holidays Ive just come back home from/ international w/e bollox/ old age etc - I thought this w/e was man citeeh!

Booked the trains up this pm and two of the very few last tickets we had left-- looking forward to a long trip, a few beers, pissing down with rain all day , and a cracking three points from the mighty hammers IRRRRONS!

[SirStoneyOfBow]

I reckon we'll win this comfortably, I'll go 3-1. Our attack is going to be too much to deal with.

Feels nice to say that.

Best place to have a few drinks in this delightful Lancashire town?

[Burnley Hammer]

Queen Victoria is popular with away fans if i recall correctly. It was many years ago though so things might have changed now. It's only a 10 minute walk from the ground. Also The Bridge, also 10 mins away.

[WHUJohn]

Valencia back in London on Wednesday PM earliest after a week or so in the States, that might be an issue.

[Romford]

I can see one great big northern banana skin sadly...

I think so, too. 1 all, Nolan with a late equaliser.

[the pink palermo]

No banana skins here at all .

Regulation 3-0 away win , and with other results going our way into the top 4 .

Then on the lash good and proper .

[Billydinho]

Burnley haven't won a game all season.

This is nailed on surely? Seriously thinking of lumping on Burnley.

[likemydreams]

1-0 Sakho

[Nesticles]

I think we'll ship a fair few goals on our travels this season.

Expect us to have too much for Burnley to cope with especially in midfield if Kouyate and Noble are fit.
