West Ham: Kings of Europe

[Riou]

This guy just wants to get smashed by Liverpool and Salah it seems...




...I wish podcasts existed back in the day, see the likes of Danny Mills calling Arsenal and Henry out in 2004 and see how even more embarrassing those matches would have been for him

Then, an Allison howler hands all 3 points to West Ham.

West Ham Central's standards are slipping. Not one of their black players was cropped out of the photo!!

JWP's set piece delivery is absolute jokes btw, it's a genuine cheat code in a Moyes team.

It's unbelievably consistent. Have to put my hands up and admit I severely underrated that aspect of his game, I knew he was good but this is a different level. Dude might genuinely be better than Beckham on set pieces.

Would honestly do a decent job in that role I think. Think he's a very natural Xhaka replacement, probably better suited for that 8 role specifically but not quite as good passing from deep etc.

His set piece delivery is such a weapon though that having him on the pitch just adds so much value to every corner and free kick.

Grande old club this. Corner stone of what make Premier League feels like Premier League.

Best premier league signing this season, if you look at the total package.

What about Onana, unana?

The opposite side on the spectrum of JWP.

The guy is a loser. Has 1 bad game and suddenly turns from UCL finalist to 3rd goalie fodder.

Certainly a candidate for it. I think Villa did some immense business this window though. Diaby looks electric, Tielemans on a free is amazing value etc. Would probably lean towards Diaby given he's 24, so there's upside there as well.

I severely underrated JWP though, as did many others I think. Set pieces were well-documented but he's a much better player than I ever gave him credit for. Makes me question why more/better teams weren't in for him. Feels a bit like he got ignored for not being a sexy enough signing, similar to how he's somehow still being ignored for England.

West Ham play to the strengths of English teams in Europe.

You're laying it on thick here now. Gøngehøvdingen is not going to fall for this.

Well, we all have those clubs in the league that are part of what makes it feel like Premier League "the most". For me West Ham, Newcastle and Aston Villa are all part of that, and to some extent even Crystal Palace and Stoke. Think it comes down to the 13/14 season, which i'm weirdly nostalgic about since it was there i rekindled my love for the club.

Also King Kim Källström started his only game for us against West Ham una

This is genuinely heartwarming, huge respect to Areola for doing that.

 

[berric]

I think now that they spent Rice money well and overall play well they might realize we were the best possible enivornment for him to make the step up and get over it.

Was honestly cringe how much they begged for City or any other club to pick him up.

What's going on here?
