Re: West Ham United v Arsenal Match Thread
If a player refuses to play surely you could terminate their contact and sue under breach of contract? It's not like he is a player we would get any money for

Re: West Ham United v Arsenal Match Thread
I'm sure I read somewhere that he didn't even have his shirt with him in the dugout. Someone had to shoot down the tunnel to get it from the changing room when they'd realised he was going on. Two-bob attitude from a two-bob player.il_martello_di_genovesi wrote:He should be with the development squad, not training with the first team and certainly nowhere near playing a game. People think Payet is playing with an attitude, yet we actually have someone who doesn't want to play and wasn't really scared to show it. Nightmare...
Re: West Ham United v Arsenal Match Thread
Speaking of the reserves where is Oxford? Is he injured or not being played until he signs a deal or something? Surely better to give him a game than ginge at this stage considering he can run and might show a bit of determination

Fair enough, shame could do with himJohnny Byrne's Boots wrote:He's not long off crutches.
Recall Burke asap. Letting him be loaned is Almost as bad as not signing a right back
Terrible decision. He could have been a right wing back for us or a centre back. Best youngster on the books and I'd trust him over ogbonna after sat evening
Re: West Ham United v Arsenal Match Thread
I'm not particularly pleased with myself, but I left when their third went in. I have left precisely one game before the final whistle up until this weekend (because my son was ill, about four years ago) but I'd just had enough. As my mate said to me "if someone like you is leaving early, we have a problem" (not that I think I'm a better fan than anyone who does leave early, but I have simply never done it myself). At the moment I don't feel like dragging myself to any more games before the new year. I have been crushed and beaten.
If it was just **** football I don't think I'd be that bothered. If everything else was **** but the football was great, again it wouldn't be a show stopper. I'm just feeling like this is an experience that I no longer get much out of, bar a visit to Trurib, so why should I continue? I'm too old and don't have the energy any more.

Re: West Ham United v Arsenal Match Thread
just remembered the highlight of my day
got on the dlr at stratford high street after staying behind for a few more and there was a father and son on the dlr in c&b scarves
so when i got on - i said to them was it still 1-1 mate i left early
the look on their faces was priceless - probably cos it was never 1-1 but i thought it was hilarious

Re: West Ham United v Arsenal Match Thread
First thing my Arsenal mate text me saying after the game was "we would never have won that game 5-1 at the Boleyn".
Had to agree. Our support was pathetic, everyone in the new stadium is only interested in waiting for the next mistake and moaning rather than supporting the team. No wonder everyone looks like they have the hump. It was like being at...the Emirates.

There was probably a slight moistening in the Brady lingerie

And to think what some of us would give to get out there and play for our team.

Everyone? bit of an assumption, not sure how any-one can come to that conclusion on the feelings of 50k other fans.hawkins_hammer wrote:First thing my Arsenal mate text me saying after the game was "we would never have won that game 5-1 at the Boleyn".

Re: West Ham United v Arsenal Match Thread
It did look clear Arbeloa lacked interest but his job was impossible. Arsenal doubled up on him and had acres of space to exploit him, he was on a hiding to nothing before he even kicked a ball.
Cafu in his prime would have had a mare on Saturday, absolutely no one covered him, it was shocking.
