The Hitman

Easy for my lazy ass to say but about time someone sorted something. Will be there.

Unusually confident which normally results in a loss.

Wasn’t there last night but really please to hear that the chants are gaining momentum. Will be starting and joining in with them from the beginning and throughout on Saturday. The time for waiting until after the match to show our frustrations is past.

Anyone know how well this has sold? It’s the first time my season ticket hasn’t resold relatively quick.

Has it been said that we have passed due to getting the £105m or did we get below £83m too? If we’ve got below £83m loss then that means we’re in a better position going forward.

So when we keep making these catastrophic losses every year does that mean we are hundreds of millions in debt? How is this a sustainable business model? I’m not clued up on football finances at all so sorry if it’s a daft question but how are clubs losing so much money every year and still surviving? Does it get written off by owners or something?

Always trusted those at the top that we would pass with flying colours 👀 In all serious that’s great news, I feared us not being able to bring any players in with a points deduction. That and the damage it could do to morale.

I’m probably putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 but I have a feeling there would have been a leak had we failed. The FA staff would have been too giddy at the prospect of getting their own back on us for them to all keep it under wraps from their journo mates.

I know £15m isn’t a lot in modern football but I can’t see anyone daft enough to pay that knowing our financial position.

Just go in January if you want.

Come on ‘The Birch’ get yourself fixed up. The words used too sparingly nowadays but he’s a true club legend.

Enjoyed that match today. I’m not going to be negative but both goals conceded were a continuation of the sloppy mistakes we keep making. Overall very positive performance, BEK and Facundo need to play together more often. Just shows the gap between the top two divisions is crazy.

This is bringing back memories of the Red Star Belgrade match all those years ago 😂

I’m happy with that tbh if we can get a solid victory and performance. It’s imperative it goes well though because it could be a confidence knocker if it’s a struggle. Come on boys positive attacking mindset from the off.

Honestly, theses unheard of cheaper transfers get me a lot more excited than spaffing £20m+ on average players with ‘premier league experience’ It’s the complete unknown that makes me look forward to seeing them play for us.

Ruud doesn’t sound too confident going by his press conference.

Thanks a lot I’ll check it out 👍

Possibly the wrong thread but didn’t want to start a new one and it’s house related. Can anyone recommend a company that does good quality oak furniture? Looking for a tv cabinet, large and possibly small sideboard and some sort of ladder/shelving unit. Below is the sort of thing we’re after but it’s only oak effect and would prefer the real deal. https://www.next.co.uk/style/st012073/q87701

The only way I could see this happening is part of a Hermansen deal like the KDH one last year as a PSR fiddle.

It’s massive but it’s not as big as 2 years ago. A right back is absolutely key, normally I’d want a raw player we can build it but it’s important they can hit the ground running. That’s often the big downside to January business. I’m not even sure we have many squad registration spaces do we? Probably need a few out first as always with us.

Absolutely, no excuse for the place to not be absolutely bouncing tomorrow. Huge match, let’s match it with a huge effort from the stands.

As much as I’d love to see him back, I just don’t think he’s actually worth that much money. Any loan deal would come with a big fee and with Bouba seemingly reformed I just don’t think it’s needed. If we’re going after ex players then it’s Barnes please.

Just came on to post pretty much this. Love his honesty too about the 31 attempts for West Ham. Really like what I’m hearing with him.

Not a great look having to keep putting out statements saying all is well. Part of me hopes this goes belly up to teach them a lesson, the problem is we all know the people making decisions don’t seem to learn from past mistakes.

There was a point on Tuesday where he really only made a half hearted effort (if that) to chase one of their players down who was bursting into our half. It looked like bad attitude to be honest but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Maybe as alluded to above he’s actually not right at the moment.
