West Ham Online

With the 'interesting' football hiatus that International Football brings, figured I'd get this match thread up.  The result against Forest makes this game in some ways less significant (as the clock will have been reset on Potter's tenure) but also more interesting as there is a modicum of form to take into the game.

Fullkrug should obviously never be allowed on international duty again, what with it being an injury magnet for him, but that aside, as of now there are no new injuries.  Rumours of a Summerville injury also appear unfounded.

So from a lineup perspective, I'm expecting something like: Subs: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Igor, Rodriguez, Irving, Guilherme, Summerville, Willson

Left out: Earthy, Marshall, Potts, Scarles.
Prediction: 1-2 Spurs (Muani, Kudus;  Bowen for us)

Form can tend to go out the window in these games, so hard to call, but I think they'll have too much for us. Do we tend to do well after international breaks? I don't think we do. There should be some pissed up liveliness thanks to the kick off time, which usually helps these sort of games.    

Too many people are looking at the Forest result and thinking it applies here. Forest were having issues behind the scenes between Nuno and the fat Greek, and Cockpiss’s changes worked well, but if anyone think he doesn’t revert to his favoured formation with Bowen up front and James Ward-Prowse in the middle, you’re in for a nasty shock. Our midfield will be overrun and I think we lose 3-0. 

Their last result was against a very good Bournemouth team. 

In fairness to our two incumbent Spurs fans (so weird they hang about and get such a kick out a relatively small number of people being triggered by their 'humour'), Spurs started the season on fire....and aside from a gutsy performance against Forest we've looked largely dogshit.

They have a high quality manager. We have Cock Piss.

44% think we win this according to the stats at the top. The bookies have us at 28% chance of winning.

Spurs are favourites so predicting they win...understandable.  Quite a few claret tinted specs setting themselves up for disappointment among the fan base.

Hoping we left our game and turn the odds though! Feel like they have weaknesses we can exploit if things go well and our overthinking manager doesn't try and make it all too complicated.

Central & Ferret backing Spurs I see.

shock.

Would absolutely bite your hand off for that outcome.

I just don’t see a scenario where we take all 3 points, I must say.

Thanks for posting this as I always get one at our most important games.

Isn't that right you wanker?

First game for me since we lost to Blackburn in the League cup.
Hope that's not an omen!  I'll go 2-2! COYI!

I would like to point out at this juncture, that having been to many West Ham v Spurs games over the last 60 or so years, In my considered opinion, I would say that spurs fans are cunts. 

This is their players celebrating after beating us, a team they don't give a fuck about.

If he plays and he can get around the pitch, it might open up 3-4-3 again having two lads in midfield who can cover ground and more competent and brave on the ball. 

He's played 50 games so doubt they've watched him for years... But yes time will tell,

Just go on the Monaco announcement tweet for his departure and translate the posts from their fans. They were how I assume ours will be when we sell Guido or JWP.

Do you reckon Potter has been on their forum and asked them? 

He's quite highly rated and we scouted him and obviously rate him maybe so much that we didn't step aside for the decent Sangare, he may not start but I doubt it will be because Potter doesn't think he's good enough.

Chucking him in against Spurs at home will be a surprise for me, especially after JWP and Soucek started in a 3-0 win. Potter isn't exactly a big risk taker is he.
