Where has he tried Mourinho style games?

I dont think Carroll will make much a of a difference to the result either way to be honest.

I take it you never read the previous article. Let's get focused on ourselves. If I was BFS I'd be saying "And they call me a ugly football manager?". Glass houses etc..

I'm sure he is focused on us. It's not like he was asked about our team and he said "No, I want to talk about West Ham."

Just answering a direct question.

I accept that we haven't played well at times but please don't tell me you are putting Lambert and that caveman Allardyce in the same sentence.

Rudy "this is pub football" Lambert shocker?

[Villafirst]

Should be interesting with heavy rain and 50 to 60mph winds forecast!

I think the legal action could disrupt West Hams preparation's, is BFS coaching his team to play with or without Carroll?

[Meanwood Villa]

This Carroll shit is a sideshow and re-emphasises for the umpteenth time what a set of twunts West Ham's current owners are, as we've all known for years. Hopefully it distracts them to such an extent they turn up at Villa Park even more useless than they have been the majority of this season already. 3-0 Villa.

Ha! I've already predicted a very healthy win, Gabby will be back, still doubts on Vlaar but I don't see why we should go out of our way to piss off BFS. Let our football do the talking.

[Richard E]

Bugger! Lawro's predicted us to win. And I was looking forward to tomorrow...

I do. Not to say they can't win without him but when he plays he's their main man.

[nick harper]

Whilst I think West Ham have given up any attempt to retain any dignity over this, the increased amounts of money involved for clubs makes this kind of desperation more likely. If their next 3 games were Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea, it's doubtful they would have made a fuss.

Without Vlaar, I also think Carroll will be influential for them.

Of course I read it. He answered a question he was asked. Not exactly a Mourinho esque mind game was it.

[David_Nab]

If he gets let off we should appeal that decision  and have game the  postponed so we can get Vlaar fit....it's no more ludicrous  than an independent panel  upholding a red card only for the team to threaten to go to the High Court.
