Avram Grant is a loving awful manager and I still don't understand how Drogba dragged that loving disgrace that far

Yeah we still have the hardest 2 games of the month to go with Liverpool and Man City after Christmas and Bournemouth & Tottenham in the new year

City are going to get loving demolished by Leicester on current form, their defence has no concentration at all and they hate being harried.

There's not a team in the league that I don't think a fit Leicester could comfortably beat atm, everybody has forgotten how to deal with direct football. It's weird.

ah yes i forgot theres literally no good teams in the sport of football

we could discuss reasons why everyone's gone to poo poo this year or we could make snide jabs and pretend Norwich didnt just accidentally win against a Manchester United side who simply refuse to shoot

or a Swansea side that appears to be in the process of a full meltdown, players clearing out their lockers

I think Leicester are great and I really don't think anyone in the prem has a first team that can reliably outplay them. Personally I blame lance armstrong.

it's all too common here to label every team that isn't bayern or barca on a 20-game win streak as "poo poo" and thats the kind of thing i was referring to with my comment.

i just don't think what they're doing should be lessened in any way. even if swansea/chelsea/man u are in rough patches, every game at this level is a match of narrow edges between two set of extremely skilled and well prepared players. any run like the one leicester is on is special.

I agree with your point and Leicester are fully sick, I just don't understand why things like Swanseas implosion and Manchester United choosing to never shoot are possible at this level, aside from the bonus of an unfancied team showing what good players used properly looks like

For real though I'd like to know if some teams are running less than last year, Chelsea's collapse is almost as bad as Spains when they lost their bloodbags.

West Ham ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand, but can't go above Watford even if we win. I'm just not getting the hang of this season. Crystal Palace level with Man United? what a world.

Swansea Form LLDLLL
West Ham Form LDLDDD

Gonna be a cracker boys.


Swansea: Fabianski, Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Ki, Britton, Cork, Sigurdsson, Gomis, Ayew. Subs: Amat, Shelvey, Emnes, Nordfeldt, Montero, Naughton, Barrow.

West Ham: Adrian, Tomkins, Collins, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Song, Antonio, Kouyate, Noble, Zarate, Jelavic. Subs: Randolph, Valencia, Jenkinson, Obiang, Oxford, Cullen, Hendrie.

Zarate on the left again, what joy. Pretty balanced team from us, it's a shame that the attackers are a bit poo poo.

Zarate has been the only one of our front line who's even looked like scoring lately. He has his problems but he's been doing well since Payet got injured.

But yeah, it's a shame that literally half our first team plus Carroll are injured. Jelavic works hard but just isn't good enough

I can't remember who it was that said Zarate plays for the fans and not the team but it's accurate and frustrating. He just can't pass. Even when he wants to, he's not very good at it. He's like a flashy foreign Carlton Cole, comfortably good enough to be in the prem but not quite good enough to do what he thinks he can.

He works well in Bilic's teams because possession isn't very important. He's a complete luxury player.

Ok Spangly. You win. Zarate is having one of his stupid days. He's not passing at all

We're loving awful today, Antoniou is the only attacking player even trying and he's triple marked.

gently caress off Souness, Swansea haven't played anything like this this season. Monk had the team playing long ball, defensive shite and that's why we'll be watching South Wales derbies again next season.

This is the Martinez/Sousa/Rodgers Swansea. With Gomis up front.

I've not seen many Swansea games this year, maybe 3-4 at most when west ham arent on, but they're playing so much better it's like a different team. Monk really was quite bad.

This is a bad game of football.

Jelavic needs to be taken out behind the woodshed.

he's our fourth choice I think? he's alright for that.

Some family friends were round earlier, their youngest just played west ham under15s and chilled with Payet. Said Chadwell Heath looks like utter poo poo and clearly isnt being looked after, long grass and bare turf on the same field.

Carroll, Gestede or Rooney.

Two of those can win headers, Rooney isn't offside anywhere near as much.

I'd reckon all three would contribute *something* to a game against this defence, Gomis is just a waste of space.

West Ham start singing the Harry Potter chant for Shelvey. Most creative thing we've done all day.
