Payet must be thrilled for staying put at West Ham for another season.

And who do we have? 

I tell you that if this stupid board sack Conte for their failings then I will lose all hope in the club and expect us to go downhill from here on. 

Because you can't expect to get better results doing the same mistakes over and over again. 

Then I would  just have to settle perpetually for mediocrity because that is what we will get from those that run the club. 

I don't want to blame a certain person here but we were on rebuilding phase and our board did signed plenty of good players.

Other than kante,michy and hmm maybe luiz this is his team.

This is getting too easy for City they are creating golden chances for fun, if city is playing with neymar/messi as one of their winger, they will be up by at least 4

[Laylabelle 9,535]

Wow West ham!! Really on the slide since they've moved Stadium

What do you expect when players like De Bruyne or Filipe Luis get sold for no reason while dross like Pedro, Oscar, Willian, Matic, Cahill and Ivanovic are still stealing a living here. Some employees of this club either don't care or are mentally challenged.

I believe they are just there for the money. I can almost garuntee, based on our transfer dealings that the people who Roman has employed to run the club have no idea about football at all!

[Laylabelle 9,535]

Oooooo West ham got 2 back 

And city got another..away they go

City look like runaway champions, while 'pool may prove capable of offering some resistance.
How the fcuck we lost De Bruyne ?
Reminds me of the Karl Heinz Rummenigge story. Timo Zahnleiter brought him to AEK Athens as a youth in 1975 but the coaches rejected him.

City 5 points ahead us already...

Arsenal and Everton above us....

Don't get me started on the Romanian clubs stories and their history of rejected players 

1) Back in 2008 I was playing five a side football at Rapid Bucharest's training ground. The team was away in Portugal for pre season, but a 20yo Seydou Doumbia was in Bucharest waiting for them to get back so he can start the trial. Meanwhile he was training on his own while we were playing five a side football. When the team got back the manager rejected him and he went to Switzerland's Young Boys. A year later CSKA bought him for 15m.

2) In 2006, 21yo Koscielny and some other anonymous player was having a trial for a defunct team now, Otopeni FC, near Bucharest. They kept the anonymous player and rejected Koscielny.

3) Rapid Bucharest, again, had 18yo Obi Mikel (2005) and 21 yo Kolarov (2007) at their training ground, but rejected both. Mikel then went to Lyn Oslo and one year later to Chelsea. For Kolarov, some team in Belgrade asked 600k, but Rapid Bucharest did not want to pay that "much" money and they sold him to Lazio instead. Three years later City bought him.

4) 18yo Zoran Tosic was close to Timisoara (now bankrupt) for 400k. Everything was agreed with the player, but the Romanian club did not want to pay the money. He went to Partizan and two years later to Man United.

5) In 2005, 20yo Taye Taiwo was playing for a Nigerian team, agent brought him to Romania, but once again, Rapid Bucharest rejected him . Went to Marseille instead.

6) In 2006, 20yo Falcao was coming after a torn ACL and some time off the pitch because of the injury. He wanted to come to Steaua Bucharest, but Steaua penny pinched at a few millions and he stayed at River. Two years later he went to Porto.

Where is the 89m player?

[Fernando 6,585]

They are setting up like us, no creativity in the midfield. 

 

[Essien19 1,415]

Absolute shite. It's time for Jose to earn his money, he must change something.

You didn't see his chipped pass?

[communicate 2,703]

Haven't watched much pogba but he has been extremely poor

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

This United team are set so poorly. For the life of me how can you position Pogba as a number 6 or 10. José needs to figure it out.

Think might be the system.

 United right now are just like us, no creativity.

Well they got Mata in now, but it seems like us. They don't want to start with Mata and us without Fabregas.

But unlike us, this united is freaking loaded with good players.

They have mhky, mata as creative players and pogba in midfield that should be enough, they even have ibra and rooney up top plus Rashford and martial I am not sure what else can you ask going forward. Creative players, Excellent target man, young speedy winger/striker.

They even have morgan who I rated very highly when he was at soton, Fellaini has played well also.
