'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

Tbf who would you pick in his stead? This West Ham squad is a disaster

Also apparently the baggies approached bilic and he knocked them back? It's difficult to comprehend the lack of imagination and ambition

From bilic?

the squad is a shambles, and i'm not even really indulging in kneejerk Carrlols, he's just absolutely unsuited to any available ten that'll end up playing behind him

(bonus points for naming this image 'moyes_hero')

xxp both

yeah look i am in no way defending Andy Carroll and his swinging elbows here but once you're down to him and Andre Ayew it's basically a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea. they're fucked no matter what Moyes does. and the continuing presence of Arnautovic would trouble me more if i were a Hammer. so many liabilities in this squad lol

Going great so far.

they are the worst team in the division.

even Palace with their contemptible Christmas points return have got more about them than this West Ham side. they remind me of the absolute worst days at Villa in 2013-2015. it's not that they're entirely bereft of players, but no one has the least fuckin clue what's going on, the manager least of all

West Ham boss David Moyes, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's so important to get the first goal. If we get a goal then we'll get the crowd behind us. If we don't then it'll be tough."

Sacked by the middle of next month.

tad ambitious maybe but i wouldn't be surprised if he gets the chop when they're at or near the bottom in mid-Feb

the promoted sides this season are good enough that at least 2 "established" names are gone. Swansea will be one. West Ham will be the other if they stick with Moyes till the end of the season

what will survive of us is love <3

West ham's next manager should be called tad ambitious imo

losing at home to gary megson: zero posts

tbf there's no shame in it [LOL!]

Ffs

I'm out drinking fyi

finally

Whoo! Crystal Palace have won a winnable game!

My 6-fold acc was killed by Spurs ffs, it was the most odds-on of my selections at 2/9 as well.

yeah spurs let my goals galore xtra bet go too

fuckers

Megson's still out I hear

chelsea v liverpool is lively. chelsea looking more likely to score

I obviously haven't paid enough attention

What a goal. No way he meant it but A+.

shades of Hoddle v Watford, intent notwithstanding

Also good because I had Chelsea and Liverpool as a draw along with Man United, Wolves and Fulham to win in my fourfold today, which I am sure will come as a consolation to any of ye who had money on Spurs.

party at shari's country pad

Unsworth looks so disappointed. It’s heartbreaking.

Everton, Swans and Hammers to go down? That would be something, if Palace could leap over them.

something horrific

No feelings lost w/ Hammers and Swans tbh. I don't understand what Swans have been even trying to do or build the last couple of PL years. They seem clueless within the luxury of PL.

So keep Unsworth till the end of the season?

that was a truly dismal performance from Everton. Ashley Williams looks like a drowning man

just want to post my monthly reminder that Danny Mills is a fucking cock

no need to remind me

get in! what a fun half that was

great performance from Huddersfield

gonna be tough to hold out though

It's only fair they beat City too, after Manu. Loving this.

I'm going to enjoy this until the second half annihilation!

oh ffs

Only good reason for Palace's continued existence is to torture imago by surviving in the premier league.

Any seaweeds in the house? Wd like to get my congrats in early for what is sure to be a cathartic thrashing by the home team on tuesday

What are seaweeds?

He means Brighton fans

thanks

I don't think a deep rearguard action with zero shots on target will look too good for Town on MOTD tbh. But with the blue + white tinted specs on that was mostly good entertainment. Wagner learned pragmatism in that disastrous first half against Spurs, can't blame him against Man City tbh - it was like the Wehrmacht vs the Belgium army in mismatched-ness.
