    The fact that with injuries having worked out as they have the players we let go particularly lallana and lovren would have been extremely useful and arguably a lot better than what we have been left with is all the more sickening

    Eggy, odds on Lallanas out injured if he was here

    Ha yeah more than likely. Think he’s been out twice for Brighton already.

    We've still got a few BUPA sponsored players to get shut of, it won't be easy though because no-one wants players who spend more time in the physio room than on the pitch. They are literally stealing a living from the club.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    We need 2.3 points per remaining game to reach 70 points to get 4th by my calculations. If West Ham continue at current rate of point scoring they will hit 68 points. Worryingly that’s title winning form for this season stretched out over the full season. Over 38 games it would bring us to 87 points. Tall order.

    Doubt we'll get fourth, need to make sure we keep our mentality, don't let the prem officiating bollocks affect us and always concentrate on the positives and are bouyant and super energised and intense every time we set foot on the pitch in Champions League games in the expectation of something resembling a level playing field

    Really a penalty.

    Happy to give it rapid.
    Same muppet as Goodison and vvd.

    Their goal not even var checked.

    If we scored they fine comb it back to the kick off !! Haha

    He didn't even watch the full replay once, the cunt was on camera and the replay he was watching didn't show the angle from the side that showed is was no way on earth a foul, but a blatant dive, maybe down to that bent cunt Marriner doing the VAR and selecting which imagery he got to view, although in truth, he very obviously wasn't interested in viewing it at all

    He couldn't wait to give it, he'd made his mind up. Only looked at the replay because he was told to.

    The last crumb of comfort for me for our League season (and it really is a crumb) is that we have a decent number of games in the latter stages against sides who won't be competing for Top Four, nor fighting to save themselves from relegation.

    But realistically, given that we can't seem to buy a point right now, it feels like we're looking at the Lottery aspect of the Champion's League, with the bits of luck, moments of inspiration and improved standard of refereeing that we might pull off something wonderful at the last.

    Can't pretend I'm in any way confident in that regard right now, but we were much poorer (on paper) than Juventus, Chelsea and AC Milan in '05 yet still managed, with Di Matteo's Chelsea also having been far from the favourites the year they won it.

    We'd need to start getting some results though to give ourselves some self-belief. The second leg against Leipzig isn't a guarantee despite our huge advantage in the tie.
