I really want big Andy to batter the Arsenal defence up tonight then Kevin Nolan to mop up the leftovers from two yards and do his chicken dance all night long

Not sure what to expect from tonight. Hopefully winning the semi final on saturday will have some sort of positive effect after a Really Bad loving Month, even though most of the squad are either injured or knackered after playing 120 minutes against Wigan. I guess Källström will start. Maybe Diaby will play a part?? Kinda hope Fabianski starts in goal too, he's deserved it after being excellent in the cup. I don't think the amount of injured players will be as bad the one listed on physioroom though, but we'll see.

As it is, with Moncur gone too, the best we can hope for is Noble/Diame/Nocerino. In fact that's literally the only option that doesn't involve Joe Cole or Alou Diarra.

Is Nocerino as poo poo for you guys as he was for his last season at Milan? I haven't watched any West Ham games since he went there.

I saw Ravel run the show against yeovil in a 3 nil demolition at loftus road. And Connor wickham's goals probably kept the owls in the championship. Why do poo poo prem teams loan out their stars like this?

I'm still pretty sure that it was another case of Big Sam's Big Agent, what with him having a history of doing this and the fact that nobody sued the guardian.

His only start was against Stoke but he did pretty well in that. So naturally he was subbed off for Joe Cole. Maybe with Nolan out we can play Diame in the centre where he can actually play well and put Jarvis on the flank. Although considering Diame did an interview yesterday explicitly saying that he wants to leave, I doubt he'll start today.

Looks like Yaya Toure will be out for 10-14 days, missing Sunderland, West Brom, and Crystal Palace, but being back for Everton. It's Jack Rodwell's time to shine.

He's easily good enough to start, and he isn't starting. Because he's not Matt Taylor. Also yeah this ties in to the Ravel thing: anyone that thinks Big Sam isn't being a dodgy oval office should pay attention to the utter poo poo with his agent that keep getting starts. Ziggy Tzardust posted:Although considering Diame did an interview yesterday explicitly saying that he wants to leave, I doubt he'll start today. Haha whaaaaaaaaaaaaat, I've missed this. I don't really care because he can't pass for poo poo but I don't have any faith in replacing him well.

Because he's not Matt Taylor. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11669/9266443/transfer-news-west-ham-midfielder-mohamed-diame-claims-liverpool-interest I could see Newcastle or United going for him but he's loving delusional if he thinks Liverpool will go after him. Liverpool need some depth in their squad and the £3.5 million release clause is stupidly low but Liverpool aren't in any state that they need to be going after bargains like Diame when they can attract much better players. That said, West Ham are going to get raided in the summer. Reid, Morrison, Cole (granted, he won't be missed) and Diame are all almost certainly gone. Also, the fact that Noc isn't starting and Armero had to wait until McCartney was injured makes me really angry. Signed a load of decent players on loan and not using any of them. And apparently both of them want to stay but Allerdyce isn't interested in keeping them. gently caress Big Sam.

The best rumor I've seen is that Villa will have new owners and they will bring in a new manager come seasons end on the condition that Villa don't get relegated. If they do, the owners will pull out and Lerner/Lambert stay in charge. So, this is why the team has been so poor lately, because Lambert wants to keep his job and Culverhouse was threatening to expose this sinister plot and lost his job for it.
