yay up the pool

Sort of bored of saying it but the hammers board have shown over the years at previous clubs great loyalty to managers and certainly do not crave in to supporters unrest.

Still can't see them taking a punt on our man.

West Ham cannot really afford to pay off Allardyce and his assistants, let alone pay us the compensation figure that is in Paolo's contract (and what I hear it's not a small figure !!!)

Four years taken up by WW2 though.

think West ham will win myself

[DRS]

Agree arriba although they have battered them twice this year so the way it works is they will lose now.

[Flashheart]

I'm not bothered whether or not West Ham win because I think it'll have no bearing on whether or not they come in for PDC. Even if the do sack Big Sam.

Stevenage vs Sheffield United is a bit dire, just no shots. Good ref so far though.

[pericarp]

Stevenage in my accu. Falling at the first hurdle..

Not a great game tonight.  If these are 2 of the top league 1 teams then that gives me added confidence that with a bit of strengthening we'll be challenging at the sharp end next year.

Huddersfield's annual play off fuck up starts today.

It's maybe harsh to judge the first division on one game but having endured the St. Evanage Versus Sheffield Grinders last night I do not think we have much to worry about next season. Also bare in mind we did beat three teams in cup competitions last term from division one.

Franchise vs Hudds - one of those games when you desperately want both sides to lose.
On balance, come on Huddersfield !

Last night was dire but in fairness, when they played at Bramall Lane a couple of weeks ago and drew 2-2 it was an excellent game, which I imagine the second leg will be. I love the play offs (especially when we're already up) but semi final first legs are often not great.
