I remember losing down there early in the season under O'Leary (we'd just signed Bouma) and making Marlon Fucking Harewood look like Adriano in PES 6* in a 4-0 drubbing. This must have also been the one game Martin O'Neill watched Harewood play in.*Niche reference but if you know, you know.
Can't blame them if they're being gouged but they make me laugh. They're all excited about the new manager and he's going to get them back to playing "the West Ham way". Moyes might have been old school but they won a bloody European trophy under him, having qualified for European football under him. Whats the "West Ham way " if its not being successful?

I guess it's the same with us, take two fans and you'll get two different opinions. The stats seem to back up that he's good in the air though.

It’s not great that we’re going into the first game of the season with both striking options barely having played over the summer.
