Have you tried Google ?

Seems the Chicago Hammers drink in AJ Hudson's bar.

My memory of good performances against Hazard is that we usually sit deep and it’s about a combined effort rather than one man, squeezing his space between defence and midfield and people being aware of being the second man on him.

Should be interesting tactically. I can imagine Anderson and Arnie in particular might appreciate the fact Kante is now forced to be less disciplined, could give them some space countering.

Equally, ‘Sarriball’ in flow would be a better style against us than Conte’s Chelsea.

On the plus side, I can see Arnie giving Luiz all sorts of bother. I do fear for our right side though, Alonso is much better than Digne and there were times Digne was allowed to be the best player on the pitch, with Yarmolenko not the best defensively

Hazard, David Luiz, Mateo Kovacic and Emerson Palmieri all rested tonight for the rent boys, in preparation for the big one on Sunday...

Let's not have any more talk of 'sneaking a point'. We're at home. Go for the win. Their Chelsea FFS, not Barcelona or Real Madrid. Headbanger

Quick question, my old man is away but has given me his oap ST for the game - has anyone upgraded a ticket for this match and know how much it will cost to make it a standard adult one?

The cheapest tickets are 65 quid plus 1.50 booking fee. I think you pay the full whack and he gets a couple of bob towards his next s/t on account.

Same price for a 16 year old.

It’s the cost of his ticket (about 1/20th of his annual season ticket cost) subtracted from the full match day price. Depending what band you’re in probably about £45.

Over for this one, last game was Man City last season and we know how we rolled over and had our belly's tickled in the second half after getting a late equalizer first half and should have come out all guns blazing.
Just want you to show up and give it a go West Ham, shouldn't be too much to ask eh ?

I'm not going to count on Arnie for Saturday. To me its not worth the risk if he's not 100%. Unwelcome, but possible scenario that really only leaves Chicharito or Perez up front.

Sarri has made them regain their focus, just as Conte in his first season, and Mourinho in his first season of his second spell.

They're a bunch of primadonnas who need a kick up the backside. Unfortunately Sarri been kicking them of late.
