The dust may have settled on another impressive European night for West Ham, even if the cordite still hasn’t.
It’s fair to say that Preview Percy isn’t impressed by the security at the London Stadium. Neither are we – they still let him in every week. Let’s see if he can avoid over-zealous stewarding in this weekend’s trip to Southampton...
There’s an old episode of sitcom 'Til Death Us Do Part' in which Alf Garnett denies that Bobby Moore was 'booted out' of West Ham (as suggested by his 'scouse git' son-in-law). Alf explains the Great One’s move as being due to his having lost the spring in his step and thus being allowed to go to Fulham where they play a more 'elderly style of football'. Talking of 'elderly' here’s Preview Percy...
The rise to prominence of the Belgian national side in recent years has put to bed that old nonsense about there being no famous Belgians. Here’s Preview Percy to talk about a few of them...
Well that was different, wasn’t it? I mean a decent, winning performance, playing on a Saturday, with minimal Moyes baiting. This could catch on.
There was a moment against Everton that captured the collective mood of every West Ham fan tightly-packed in the Bullens Road Stand: David Moyes frantically tapping his watch as Frank Lampard’s men contrived to waste time and run down the clock. The sense of irony certainly wasn’t lost on myself. I (and I assume many others in the away end) had been mentality performing that same act towards Moyes from minute one.
Preview Percy takes a week off and the value of the pound plummets through the floor. Coincidence? Yes. Here’s his look at the visit of Wolves anyway...
I was one of the key stakeholders involved in the creation of the (then) new Independent Supporters Committee, after a considered period of frustration and turmoil amongst the West Ham fanbase that culminated with 8,500 fans taking to the streets to vent their frustrations.
West Ham remain in the relegation zone going into the first international break of the season after recording their fifth loss of the season at Goodison Park on Sunday.
Mark Noble is back. I doubt there’s a single West Ham fan out there who isn’t delighted that our former skipper is returning to the club as Sporting Director.
