It will be a really physical game with the likes of Rice, Soucek, and Antonio starting for them. I think we need Phillips in the line-up for his aerial ability.

It was a routine 2-0 win for us in this fixture last season thanks to a penalty from Mo and a counter-attacking goal from Ox. In fact that game was on this very day a year ago while we were on that epic winning run pre-lockdown. The result put us 19 points clear of Man City after just 24 games, and a massive THIRTY points clear of Chelsea who filled out the top 4. That was the situation and we hadn't even reached two thirds of the way through the season!

 

Our first game at the London Stadium came near the very end of the 2016/17 season. We had that highlighter 90s Dortmund-style kit and finally got the better of Slaven Bilic. Four unanswered goals and it could have been more as we swatted the Hammers aside. Sturridge, Coutinho with a brace, and Big Div got the goals as the team positioned itself to remain in the top 4 and regain Champions League status.

 

 

 

 

May 2017 saw Clean Bandit's 'Symphony' knocked off the top of the charts by some tedious autotuned shit called 'I'm The One' from DJ Khaled and his mates Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne. Just another forgettable record where artists (I mean that in the loosest sense of the word) collaborate on each other's records to produce exactly the same songs over and over, while dickheads up and down the country stream that shit and turn them into hits. DJ Khaled looks like he should have played an extra in Four Lions or Phone Shop. Anyway, judge for yourself.

 

 

 

 

While we continue to suffer setback after setback in the centre back positions, and we continue to look like we won't get reinforcements in, we have actually looked closer to our usual selves over the past couple of games. Not absolutely purring but at least looking threatening going forward. Defensively, we might see Nat Phillips starting this one, mostly because of paucity of options back there. West Ham offer physical and aerial threat at set-pieces mostly, and PGMOL's finest always look to penalise us in areas where such teams can profit, so Big Nat might prove to be a useful inclusion. If I was Klopp, I'd be tempted to use this game to sit a little deeper and invite West Ham to try and break us down. Moyes won't want his team to have to play on the front foot and have at least equal possession as it doesn't suit him or them. We are capable of stifling the game this way and we have enough quality to make the most of any opportunities we get at the other end. Whatever we do, do it well and get all the points.

Benteke symtrom with the Antonio fears.  Worse even cause benteke looked great before one of his injuries.  Antonio has never scored more than ten in a season for them. 

I don’t really watch any other teams. Certainly don’t bother watching West Ham. Reading these last few posts it would appear this Antonio character is like a reincarnation of Cruyff and Maradona. Anyway fuck these cunts. I really hope we can continue our impressive London away form and give Davie something to cry about.

Last night means nothing if we cant take these guys down... down to Chinatown.

 

A must win. Last night they remembered why theyre champions, hopefully looking up at city is kindling that desire.

 

Buy a fucking centreback. Buy two. Arseholes. Infact buy three one as compensation for your insolence.

You don’t get one free if you buy two ?
