Football Banter

@ Hannahspet
1 billic announced a week ago he was putting out a weekend team and that the arsenal game would take priority. If you can't be bothered to check relevant information that could affect your bet don't see why he should give a monkeys toss but I will bring up your concern at the next Agm!!!!!!!!!!

2 Blacburn rovers the club that sacked Sam whilst lying top half of premier league table. All on account of some devious back stabbing Scotsmen. How did that workout for you?

3 so WestHam have got no chance than? So should they not turn up than?
If Billic put out a weekend team against arsenal he would be hung drawn and quartered by the fans. should he have put out a full strength team in the euoropa and Arsenal game he would risk further injurys to our squad. We already have Valencia and Carroll out as it is. If you want to win money I suggest you back arsenal to win even giving westham a one goal handicap. Should get evens at least.

what di-maria's open letter to man utd fans should really say:

Apparently in their prospectus one of their selling points is the fact they are within 2hrs train journey of London!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if Psg when they play a Paris derby away from home, the fans complain about it being one of the longest away trips of the season!!!!!!!

Kind of bizarre that Man Utd part with di Maria after just one season, I think if van gaal believed in him more and gave him confidence he would have done much better this season( I know a lot of it has to do with di Maria being unsettled but still), van gaal has that nasty habit of just getting rid rather than wait and see how a player progresses

On West Ham they are just pathetic to crash out of Europa league, if they signed up song too I would have said they have a good squad to take on some of the best in that competition, considering they never tasted CL also this would have been their best shot of getting in but sadly that kind of mentality is not drilled in them

1) The terms of Billic contract is such that if WstHam get relegated he will be sacked without severance pay.
2) his edict is to finish top 10 and play decent football. Ideally taking 4 points off spurs.
3) Everton Spurs Swansea all put their struggles of last season down to the fact that the Europa league was such a distraction. Also they came no where near winning it so what makes you think westham would have a chance? Also should they win it they would enter at the second preliminary stage of qualification. The likelihood of them getting to group stage of champions league would be negligible.

4) coming from an arsenal fan that is a bit rich. Only till recently Wegner use to view the FA cup and whatever they call the other one these days as a chance to hive the youth team and reserves a run out. He even admitted that in the past he saw finishing fourth as being more important than winning those trophies.

Yeah but when arsenal play the kids in say the league cup they usally win

I'm sorry but if West Ham can't get through this random team in the qualifying rounds then questions early yes this early needs to be asked, I still would be in the opinion that west ham could have done well had they made the group stages, I know everyone moans about the Europa league but come on a chance to feature in Europe and especially for west ham why not have the mentality to make a good fist of it?

Also wouldn't you say I was being rather complimentary of West Ham by saying they have a good squad to take on the best, not like I proper ripped into them

Lastly setter don't start bashing me ok I just simply expressed my opinion on something which I am entitled to do so plz respect it atleast

@shano
You have to be incredibly sensitive if you think I was bashing you. I never insulted you just stated I disagreed with you and explained why I disagreed with you. You than gave your counter opinion and fair play to you.

@ Hannahspet
Correct me if I'm wrong I thought arsenal winning the FA cup was the first time they won a trophy for nearly 10 years. Does not suggest that their reserves and youth team always win, to me.
Here is a thought maybe just maybe Arsenal have a better team than Westham.
I have no Problem admitting that. I would draw the line about saying that about spurs though!!!!!!!!!
