West Ham Match Thread

[JHB]

Mark De Man has to be the best name for a CB ever, I am surpised neither of the those clubs tried to pick him up from Anderlect in the noughties.

That’s a brilliant football name. My favourite ever is Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. Sounded like a fast show character

 

[JHB]

Everton have always been pretty good at it too. In fact I tend to think of Everton and West Ham as being similar type wannabe clubs.

Spurs too. Look at how much they’ve spent over the last two seasons to be looking nervously over their shoulder at the relegation places

We’re finishing the week in 12th place after today’s results. Great end to a great week!

Yes.

• 3 games in 6 days
• 3 wins
• 3 clean sheets
• 3 places up the table

oh and into the next round of the cup.

What's not to like (apart from needing thqt South Coast team to beat ManUre for us to stay in 12th.

And our first new signing of the window!

Ollie said he’d promised them an extra day off if they managed 3 wins. Good at motivating the team with little things like that.

On Nketiah, we can’t doubt his effort. I was at the Leicester game where he ran his socks off when he came on. Same yesterday. He’ll come right. He just needs to practice his composure and placement of shots and not just hit it in the general direction. Kluivert’s performance yesterday for Bournemouth was a master-class in a striker glancing up and picking his spot. What a player he is.

Lol, great suggestion. Please email that into the club, as he's obviously been practicing not placing his shots thus far

For the connoisseur there were Rod Fanni and Ralf Minge and for the more discerning the mighty
Danger Fourpence.

Your wish was complied with, 1-3

I remember Celtic wanted to sign Fanni from Rennes but he would have had to play alongside Bobo Balde. An unfortunate pairing that would have been!

The Dutch have great names.I remember Vennegoor of Hesselink at Celtic. They actually managed to get his name on his shirt! My personal favourite is Ricky van Wolfswinkel.

Buying a replica shirt with his name on must have been an expensive day out at the club shop

not necessarily, very much dependent on the circumstances and personal preferences. A defence to be split if ever there was one.

 

[taylors lovechild]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Paul Dickov.

 

[Badger11]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Paul Dickov.

Did Spurs have 2 strikers Bent and Keane?

 

[NEILLO]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Paul Dickov.

Or indeed David Goodwillie

 

[Willo]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Paul Dickov.

Signed by Dave Bassett for his 1st spell at Leicester.
He was a pest for defenders with his harrowing and chasing ,his workrate character and attitude were never in doubt.
He did receive a 'Super-sub' tag for scoring after coming on from the bench but he was not a prolific scorer during the entirety of his career.

 

[Willo]

Or indeed David Goodwillie

Signed by Dougie Freedman, his stay with us was somewhat ephemeral.
I am aware of issues he had off the pitch many years ago.
