West Ham United (away)

[RP]

Away win.

[stressederic]

Be nice if Southampton can do us a favour on Saturday.

[Swipe]

This is the fixture I've had a worried eye on for a while. Don't know why.

 

Play like we have been though and we'll be in business.

[magneto]

They're going to try out-muscle us and keep that ball in the air for Big Andy to get on the end of it. Defensive aerial ability has been a bit suspect this year.

Winning the 2nd ball is key then, with someone like Andy Carroll you aren't going to win many headers so picking up the knock downs he plays for his team mates is going to be crucial.

[Falconhoof]

They have won 4 of their last 5 home games.

Probably much more of a fight than Spurs.

[Cheesecake]

Sakho should come in for this game, he's better in the air than Agger or Skrtel. Not sure there will be much change in a team thats on such a winning run though.

 

I would love to see an unlikely scorer on the mark over the rest of the season, a 25 yard belter from Joe Allen, a thumper from the right edge of the box from Johnson, a Lucas humdinger from 20 yards, a wind assisted 95 yarder from Simon, that kind of thing. If they could all come in different games that would be perfect. Hell if Moses and Aspas could score when coming on for the last ten minutes that would probably crown it.

f***ing last game of the weekend again.

 

Away win.

[smithdown]

A result against Sunderland is a bigger deal to them than the game against us.

[Cheesecake]

I've got a funny feeling that Charlie Adam is going to score first in a 2-0 win for stoke next weekend against chelsea, can't shake it, everytime I've seen either team over the past 3 weeks the name Charlie Adam, the words chelsea 0 stoke 2, keep popping up.

[drdooom]

I'm bricking myself.

Yeah but the one was the Mancs.

[Bootle Buck]

While they are picking the ball out of their own net 5 or 6 times.

[Cheesecake]

they've conceded 11 times in their last 10 league games, seem to be a reasonably tight outfit, 3 against newcastle in mid january, 3 against stoke in mid march, 2 against the mancs a week later, 4 clean sheets, but they have only scored 13 goals in that 10 game stretch also. Haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 5.

 

It's going to be a hell of a lot tougher than spurs today, think if we are to win it will be a nervy 1-0 or 2-1 job rather than a steamrolling 4-0 victory.

Why did Derek Acorah cross the road?

 

To pretend to talk to other side.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

I'm hoping to do a preview by Thursday - want to see how Monday goes before I change it.

I am more worried about Palace

[fred milne]

Sakho should come in for this game

You must be joking.

 

Tell you what - let's try to bring back Kyriagkos for this one.

[smithdown]

I am more worried about Palace

 

 

Can be awkward c*nt of a fixture for us that f*cker.

[Hieronymus Bosch]

Ha! RIP, Sam.

[Zoob]

On the one hand, I feel that at least one of Downing or Carroll (one league goal between them all season) is bound to score. Can just see Carroll having a good game to show what a mistake it was (even though it wasn't) to sell him. And then on the other hand, I think about how teams we're playing must be scared s***less before they've even got on the pitch. The same sort of fear that the Mancs used to have that would mean they had already basically beaten teams before the match had started....
