Wonderwall wrote:Not a good fixture for the gamblers. No-one knows which side will turn up for city or west ham. Fortunately for city, Sergio is looking like he is getting into the mood and might be hitting his stride. Silva is OK but not hit form yet, however he is showing signs, so I am hoping our offensive players give our defensive players an easy ride.
Payet is a very tricky customer and would be my selection to have a word in delphs ear to keep him close at all times.
As an aside Walmai, what's the score with the retractable seats at the new stadium? Will it ruin the aesthetics or is it OK? I just can't picture it.
Edit: also who is sullivan talking about with this mystery overseas striker. The only one I can think of is Michu ?

Mancini was with us for approx 3.5 years despite 3.5 years of rumours saying he would be leaving. The average time a Prem manager gets is 14 months so I think it's fair to say we actually buck the trend when it comes to the madness. He was in 4 trophies at Xmas last year but win none. The proves the media talk about him being in 4 tournaments means nothing, unless you win them. Personally, I think a draw would be a good result at the Hammers given the quality they have. Two centre backs and a left back missing.....again. I suspect our defenders will have their work cut out.

So what was the 4th trophy we were still in with a shout of at Xmas 2014 then? Given we went out of the League Cup in October...

Up until 10 December 2014, it was still possible for us to win any of the these four trophies in 2015:
The Premier League
The FA Cup
The Champions League
The Europa League

Have I just seen the best of him or is he really brilliant mate?

He is a 'this is what I paid my money for' player. A magician.
However, some of his tricks wind up his opponents. There's a strong belief that Everton kicked him out of a game at ours, damaging his ankle in the process.
As for the ground move, I sincerely hope that my personal attitude does change. I still however remember Maine Road with fondness. Your new home is all about, well, average, really as an experience.
As for Pellegrini, sure, I can understand that a club such as yours is always wondering whether it can upgrade and, yes, Pep is one of the very best in club football. Lets just put it this way then. He seems to deal with it all in quite a measured fashion.
Someone mentioned a fullback issue up in the thread. Does that mean we are going to see Kolorov, or Clichy? The former has a wicked free kick, iirc.

Everton kicking a playmaker out of the game? Sounds familiar. Besic by any chance?
