You do realise we are going to get done again in the new year.

Yes I'm aware, this is why I said about more charges pending. But I hope you understand I can't go into further speculation, assumptions etc. We're talking here about the initial points deduction which looks very likely. I'm just a fan of the team, I'm not an accountant. 

That said, it seems next season will be a proper rollercoaster and I can't say I'm very happy with that. Us dedicated fans who pay money for the club need to know in depth what's wrong and have a better explanation of the situation.

I agree with the sentiment but if you're presenting Ten Hag's Man United and Brendan Rodger's 21/22 Leicester as sides West Ham are more exciting to watch than, it might mean they're a bit flat.

point well made. Was really looking at just goals.  
 

Whenever I’ve watched West Ham they just seem well organised and great on the break. Their biggest issue seems to be never finding a good number 9 and not finding anyone remotely close to replacing Rice this season

Moyes is getting out at the right time, very good in Europe but their league form over two years is average and he's got a very decent squad. Reputation won't be damaged.

Agree. They're also sitting comfortably in the Top 10, was their season goal CHL football? I doubt it. Villa is getting CHL but it's going to be a very difficult 24-25 season for them like Newcastle's.

good finish from Olise, Palace have picked up some real good talent from the championship, 

Eze, Olise and now Wharton

 

wish we'd do that

[trabuch]

Unbelievably bad defending by Manu (feat. Evans)

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Great goal by Olise.....I remember a few years ago @Ric Flair was banging on that Leicester should sign him before he chose Palace 

[Fear Of The Fox]

I've never seen this in Sunday League and I'm in my late 40s. A throw in around the midfield, a player receiving the ball and cruising into the box with another 2-3 options left and right of him. He's still going unchallenged, the guy could easily walk the ball into the net. 

Man Utd are a joke.

[Leicesterpool]

I can see West Ham may regret sacking Moyes, happened before... Moyes will take a break a few months. Enjoy the sunshine and I somehow don't think he'll be in a hurry to come straight back. Won't be surprised if he heads abroad again, maybe Holland... well Feyenoord looking for new manager so yeah possibility. 

[Super_horns]

Man U all over the place but a bit unlucky with that disallowed goal ?

Huh? What do you mean unlucky? There's a certain rule about GKs. It was a clear foul.

Guess they do get over protected .

VAR proving to be terrible again. It's funny because it's Utd but that was a fair goal. Henderson so weak.

 

Edit: apologies wrong thread for this really.

I believe Moyes would do well in Holland. The Dutch media might have a problem understanding his Scottish-accented English, so I think he'll need to practice speaking English as if he were a native Dutchman. I mean what could go wrong?

[Vacamion]

 

Palace much the better side.

 

If you think how much Man United have spent to be this bad, it's fairly staggering.

Yes they do but that wasn't the case here. If they allow this they'll open a can full of worms. Keeper was shoved and pushed there. Please don't destroy the sport more. By common sense you can tell which situations are 50-50. 

[Stadt]

West Ham have been rubbish for a while. We all of clubs should know you can sack a succesful manager because the trajectory is awful 

[Tuna]

Evans!

[Vacamion]

 

What do you make of that defending, Roy?

 

 

 

[whoareyaaa]

Evans  

[UniFox21]

Jesus that was woeful from Evans, Onana with some dubious keeping 

[Unabomber]

Oh wow nice defending 

[fazzyfox]

Taxi for Evans (call one don’t steal one)

[Unabomber]

He absolutely twatted that

How this team is not in a relegation battle is bizarre.
