We're having a go apparently, but we just don't have anything approaching their class. The guy Haller who has scored the two WHU goals - I read he cost £45m That's just £5m less than Roland wanted for the whole of CAFC: lock, stock & barrel. And about £15m more than we're actually worth. Good luck to the Addicks tonight, but in terms of what money can buy West Ham are on a different planet.
Someone worked out their starting 11 cost £181m, ours just the 200k we paid for Bonne. Really did not care about tonight, I was surprised there weren’t more changes
I agree. Lee Bowyer put out pretty much the strongest side he could, from very limited options. They are doing themselves proud against a badly managed team of much better individual players. God forbid, but West Ham could do a lot worse than offer Lee Bowyer the manager's job. Moyes is useless. I'm amazed he has been given so many chances to prove as much.
3-0 now. The lads gave it a good go. If our injury luck is not too awful we should be able to avoid the L1 danger zone for a while. Bigger worry now is administration, if that toss-pot Elliott can continue to hold off the Sandgaard take-over. Wages are only covered until the end of October, so I read a while ago. Current thinking however is that the take-over is a done deal, and we're just waiting on those masters of red tape, the EFL... God help us.
