West Ham banter 2

27 Jan 2026 23:47:30
JWP will sign for Burnley and score 2 or 3 free kicks. You can see it happening.

28 Jan 2026 07:17:57
Most of us don’t give a monkey’s. As long as he no longer plays for WHU.

28 Jan 2026 08:30:27
He didn’t score one free kick in all his time with us and had plenty of opportunities

28 Jan 2026 09:50:52
I can’t really remember him having that many opportunities to score from free kicks as we were never really that high up the pitch to win a free kick, we were always sitting back inviting the opposition on to us, I just hope he doesn’t score goals that keeps Burnley up and relegates his team, otherwise he’ll becoming back to us in the championship, will he be happy with that, if he gets a goal scoring opportunity then my advice to him would be to put it in row Z ?

28 Jan 2026 10:13:19
Tinlegs, try to be less argumentative. Read my statement properly. It’s irony, which means speaking about the opposite for humour or effect.
You mention ‘most of us’. May I suggest you speak for yourself and not others. They can do that themself.

28 Jan 2026 11:58:10
With some of the fantasies you post Brooking, we can only imagine you believe what you write. If you feel differently maybe make that clear with an emoji or just write what you truly mean.

28 Jan 2026 13:43:18
AOII, please refer to the irony of the comment. It is self explanatory. ?

28 Jan 2026 13:54:10
Brooking, a lesson in the English language and advice from you is akin to Donald Trump’s assertion that he is a genius and almost as hilarious! ?

28 Jan 2026 14:15:43
I am interested in the fantasies comment. Please embellish your answer.

28 Jan 2026 16:43:30
I apologise Tin. I genuinely felt you did not understand the irony angle. Generally, those who come out with such obtuse language do not understand.

28 Jan 2026 20:43:39
Lets hope if he does put a few in its against, Forest, Leeds and Palace.

28 Jan 2026 22:25:09
I agree, Iron.

28 Jan 2026 23:49:28
Brooking you've been on here talking up Just walking Pace as if the team would be better with him in it, now you think he's going to score goals for Burnley which would relegated us.

Your concept of irony is about as far of the mark as Alanos Morrisettes, as I said if you mean what you say don't attack those (many of us who can't wait to see the limpet gone) with unfounded suggestions that we're in the minority, especially on here where you might be JWPs Onlyfan (maybe get a subscription) ?

29 Jan 2026 03:49:58
I do not believe I have not verbally attacked anyone, neither have I mentioned being a fan. I have stated that his treatment has been deplorable by the management, and our midfield was inept and ‘could’ have used him. Furthermore, when we originally signed him the man was very good. I believe he was playing further forward.
I did mention in a previous post that the gentleman, possibly lady write for themself.

They did state ‘most of us’, therefore indicating a very high percentage wanted rid of JWP.
Please indicate where I have ‘suggested’ a minority? The word has never been used.
Feel free to reply, but along with anyone else you align yourself with, please correlate your facts.
To think, this started with a statement which was a throwaway comment using irony is interesting.

29 Jan 2026 08:40:11
I’m not into all this back and forth at each other but I’m glad JWP has gone, I personally think he ain’t prem quality anymore. But what I will say is if the troll doesn’t spend money on replacement, be it defense or midfield I think he’s lining up to get out should we fail to stay up, if we do stay up he will come running on his Brady’s back I mean his steed chucking a bit of money about shouting we have this club at heart…….

Bollocks

29 Jan 2026 09:59:59
Brooking, enough! You clearly misunderstand the meaning and use of irony. Your original post was not ironic. You merely pointed out that if the circumstances to which you refer were to come to fruition, they would RESULT in irony. Your phraseology employed was not ironic.

I was simply stating an opinion based upon previous comments voiced by other contributors. It was not argumentative; just simply at odds with your opinion. If anything, you introduced an element of confrontation with your follow-up post.

29 Jan 2026 13:32:30
The statement was 100% irony, Tinlegs, but as usual, you dragged it into murkier waters.

Anyway, I’m tired of this subject now and wish JWP all the best for his time at Burnley.

Think we may get a draw this weekend, although it’ll be tough.

29 Jan 2026 14:36:10
And your last post clearly illustrates why different posters on here describe you as “delusional”! ?

27 Jan 2026 15:42:21
AREOLA! SOUCEK, I can only give my own opinion, TOTAL MADNESS, to let Areola leave in this window, and I know Soucek has his haters, yes he's a bit marmite, BUT now is not the time to sell these two

A sale, many sales may be forced upon WH in time to come

BUT now is not the time to sell these established players

27 Jan 2026 19:50:24
Joyfull are you saying Areola and Soucek are going in this window, I sincerely hope not?I will have the right hump with all concerned and not sure I will bother to watch us any more on TV especially if we are relegated and been a massive fan since early 1950’s, we will have less chance of relegation with both staying! !
⚒⚒⚒⚒

28 Jan 2026 11:48:25
No mate, I stated it would be MADNESS, to let these experienced players go, at this juncture

Obviously at seasons end, the whole squad will be reviewed, whatever the league position

28 Jan 2026 13:19:59
Joyfull, thanks for the reply mate, just what I wanted to hear?Thought you may had seen some type of under cover info???⚒⚒⚒

27 Jan 2026 09:22:48
Give Palace Kilman and £20m for Mateta, if he goes Forest then that could be curtains for us as far as relegation is concerned.

27 Jan 2026 10:21:15
Dont see Mateta going to us or Forest. He wants to play a big club to try cement his place in frances world cup squad. I think he will end up staying at Palace and they will hope he has a good world cup to get a big summer offer.

27 Jan 2026 10:23:22
Good shout that!

27 Jan 2026 10:27:19
If we give palace Kilman it will be curtains for them

27 Jan 2026 15:08:42
Chris B05, he might not play all the time at a so called big club, he would get more minutes with us, imagine if he banged in 10 or more goals from now until the end of the season then surely his country can’t over look that.

It’s not going to happen but I don’t think teams at the bottom should be overlooked as these players would definitely get more game time ?

27 Jan 2026 16:37:52
But he is already at a side where he would be first name on the team sheet. I thought he wanted to leave at seasons end but Forest are just chancing their arm.

27 Jan 2026 18:42:28
Stevie66 its not going to happen. If it did i would eat my hat. There is no logical sense to leave Palace for us.

26 Jan 2026 12:45:46
Many fans are dispirited this morning following Forests win yesterday
It was always.going to be nip and tuck from here on in

Form, team spirit, and motivation, are all that count, from now on

All the teams above us will drop points here and there

WH need to win 6 or 7 games, to-give, themselves some. chance of staying up, after wasting half a season playing rubbish

Can it be done? Maybe, we have given ourselves a small chance now, where we were dead in the water

Let's see where we are 10 games from now, before we accept it's over

Keep your chins up

26 Jan 2026 17:58:53
Not over by any stretch of the imagination. Have u seen spurs next 6 fixtures and palace play teams all around us fighting for there lives. i'm betting one if not both get dragged into it

26 Jan 2026 18:19:57
WH need to get points on board, forget the others, just stick to your targets, let the others worry about WH, the others will drop points no question

WH need to be in a position to take advantage

26 Jan 2026 19:25:16
We also have a few 6 pointers left to play. Burnley, Palace and Leeds last game of the season

26 Jan 2026 20:22:57
We can do it, but we need 3-4 in to give us the best chance possible, i fear the board may do the usual bare minimum and hope none of the players get injured. We are one injury away from seeing kilman a starter or being left with 1 winger.

Hope Earthy has a recall option.

27 Jan 2026 00:55:14
And now Leeds have picked up a point against Everton.

27 Jan 2026 07:39:28
We may get a free hit this weekend. Will be difficult to get a win at Chelsea but let hope, a draw would be a decent result but even if they lose it might not be too bad because Palace play Forest so any result could end up being beneficial.

26 Jan 2026 10:50:09
Brooking, what say you now about Michael Carrick? It's still only two games into his Man Utd tenure, but so far they've beaten Man City and now Arsenal (the Prem favourites) at the Emirates. Not bad for a coach who you good as said wasn't good enough for Middlesbrough!

28 Jan 2026 06:46:47
I stand by my word. He did not do good enough at Middlebro. Furthermore, it’s only 2 games.? Even you must realise the new manager bounce, and Arsenal should’ve won that game comfortably. Ask me after 8-10 games and you will be able to give a better perspective.
5 people on this site have agreed with you, along with yourself, so you have many followers.

Just watching this Brentford game and they are dog rubbish. How are they not down there with us

26 Jan 2026 01:39:54
I watched that too and agree. Crazy that they were in 5th recently and really should have beaten Chelsea away. They had three great chances in that game and faffed around in front of goal.

I actually think Palace and Leeds will sink down in the table. Forest won't be that far away either.
A lot of games to go and we're playing much better now.

26 Jan 2026 04:38:33
Wolves and Burnley are gone. The last place is anyone’s choice. Palace have the worst form currently.

26 Jan 2026 06:03:37
At least its getting interesting now lol

Amazing how much better we play without Kilman and Paqueta thought Scarles was outstanding today

24 Jan 2026 16:58:35
Great performance today, the first half was much better than the second, it’s a shame we couldn’t keep a clean sheet, but all we can do is keep winning to put the pressure on the teams above.

24 Jan 2026 17:42:11
Couldn't agree more. I know people will say "Sunderland didn't turn up" but we can only beat what's in front of us and how many times have we fallen at the next hurdle after a win in the league the week before

Dunno want Nuno is doing but that's the best all round first half performance I've seen from us in years. I thought Fernandes was motm and taty worked his socks of.

Nuno has a nice mix of busy players and soucek supporting the back works well.

Bring on Chelsea

24 Jan 2026 21:07:56
Chelsea away to Napoli late Wednesday night and on cusp of automatic places so should go hard team wise to maintain position. Hopefully we get the best part of a second XI on Saturday

25 Jan 2026 12:11:31
I think we have to go into the Chelsea game with the belief we can win it. We are on a roll and Nuno needs to encourage this rather than set us up defensively

25 Jan 2026 16:12:42
No choice but to try and win every game now, we need to be looking up at Palace and Spuds, Dyche and Farkes will be looking to match our results or just keep themselves far enough ahead of us.
Glasner has made his excuses and given up, Frank is really struggling and those two are where we can gain ground.

25 Jan 2026 18:08:59
Spot on AOI I think Palace are going into free fall and having the extra problem of Thursday European football ain’t going to help them ?

24 Jan 2026 14:21:26
We thought motm was between Fernandes, Summerville, Bowen, Soucek. all 4 were excellent

24 Jan 2026 14:54:45
Many disagreed with me about Pablo, but he’s the one player, I just don’t see what Nuno sees in him, just doesn’t look a proper forward

24 Jan 2026 15:41:58
Er, yes, Fernandes MotM, with Summerville and Bowen close contenders, but Soucek? Please explain what he contributed. Don’t get me wrong, apart from some of his passing going astray, he didn’t have a bad game, but a MotM contender? Nowhere near.

24 Jan 2026 17:02:38
It may not have shown on the tv, but his covering was absolutely outstanding. When Fernandes went forward, a majority of the time Soucek dropped back from the forward position he was in because there was a MASSIVE hole in middle. Plus, he was a the only player winning headers.

Don't know who they gave it to on the TV. Personally, I thought Summerville and Soucek were my choices. Bowen was also good.
Pablo links a lot of play, but there's not 3-4 goals in this man at this standard.

24 Jan 2026 17:08:03
Sky Sports seem to agree about MotM.
Fernandes 9/10
Bowen 8/10
Summerville 8/10
Soucek 6/10.

24 Jan 2026 18:01:53
Agreed Tin Souchek was no where near Motm, we look much better without kilman and AWB. Makes a massive difference as well

Joyful I said after the protests game that we had been fleeced for Pablo not seen anything to change my mind, Wilson should start over him every time

I think today was about a team performance though was good to see us getting the ball forward a lot quicker and working hard when we didn't have the ball

24 Jan 2026 19:01:45
How anyone can say that Fernandes was not MotM beats me. And Brooking, I did watch Soucek’s off the ball play.

His ball passing leaves a lot to be desired and that is the main skill of a midfielder, not running around off the ball! Bobby Moore always said, “When I haven’t got the ball, I always think to myself ’what would I do with the ball if I got it now? ’ That’s useless if you can’t pass the bloody thing!

24 Jan 2026 23:03:55
We have a good view at the game and I can only offer what I saw, those around us thought he had a good game.
