West Ham Utd 1-5 Arsenal (03/12/16)

[1860OnceMoore]

Antonio - out

Cresswell - out

Carroll - on the bench

Arbeloa - very doubtful we will see him in a West Ham shirt again

Tore - looking to send back in Jan

Ayew - mysterious one this, may or may not be available for Saturday apparently has a knock

Sakho - 4 to 6 weeks

Jesus is there any good news at the moment Jinxed?

[Porkeyes]

The good news. Southend Vic trains are actually working tomorrow! I'm looking forward to the extra booze time no rushing about. I hope the bowl of disappointment produces an intimidating atmosphere like the Chelsea game. Despite all the fuss made over nothing that night was the only time the place has felt like home. The players responded to it and we turned over a much more expensive side than us. We are West Ham , we need to do everything we can to make it an uncomfortable place to visit for the upper classes of this division.
Basically maximum effort from us tomorrow, if the players are found lacking then we can start moaning after knowing we did our bit.

[1860OnceMoore]

another 1-4 I am afraid!

Naïve defending and lack of team spirit will see us on the end of a tonking

Cresswell goes years without injury then picks up two in a few months. Its the West Ham way.

bit of positivity. arsenal always flop when they think they are going to lay a team out.

Is the right answer....... Apparently we didnt have a cat in hells chance when we beat them in 1980 did we.

Dimi to score a stooping header and send them home crying again!

[artlin]

i think we are going to get weighed in. We might score the first .. then get absolutely weighed for 70 odd mins.

Beg pardon?

[3Dicks]

I'll be watching from behind the sofa

[Udonhammer]

So . It looks like this winning formula for sat then
Randy
Kouyate reid oggy
Fernandes noble obiang aurthur
Lanzini payet
Fletcher

Hard fought 2 -2 ( will feel like a win )

[WoodfordJnr]

Beg pardon?

I know ffs

[kenthammer1984]

this is the sort of game where we will turn up and turn this lot over and suddenly look like world beaters.

3-1 west ham.

[HighWycombeHammer]

Start with Carroll and bully them. They don't like it up em and never have.

[psychoscoredthelot]

we will probably get smashed - well i definitely will

[James P]

Don't forget you need to score three times against this mob to have one count.

[steps]

Can't see this one ending well.

Our only hope is if Carroll plays and we launch balls into him. They couldn't deal with him at UP last season.

[Crouchend_Hammer]

Think we are going to get absolutely tonked
3-0 down at half time
Arsenal take foot off pedal 2nd half, ends 4-0 in a half empty stadium

[CWM]

I've got a real nasty feeling it's going to be 7, there is always a couple of 7-0's a season, reckon we'll see one this weekend, I can't watch, probably give us a swerve till after the new year, it's upsetting me too much at the moment

I think you could be right. Only not this weekend, next weekend. Liverpool could absolutely rinse us silly.

So could Arsenal, mind you, but my only source of optimism for this weekend is big AC coming back with a bang and netting another hat trick...okay a brace would do...well okay a goal would do...I suppose a 0-0 would do...just don't get pumped, that would do.

Edit: Didn't see Jinxed's post. Fletcher up top it is then.

If Nordtviet starts I'll probably watch the game from the bar on the concourse.

God help us.

I'm genuinely getting some popcorn if that happens
