there is no way we win today, Moyes has to much connection with West Ham, they have to stay in the division and their will to win will be stronger than our will to get a European spot.

Also, like this forum, there will be a significant about of Hamfee's in the away end (joint West Ham and Everton fans)

If we lose this it's going to be most likely from his tactical rigidity , unwillingness to rotate players and introduce timely subs not some underlying affection towards West Ham, I think he'll want to attain an European spot over any goodwill for them

Lukaku used to love playing against these, didn't run enough for some fans though

You lot are mad if you think he does anything other than Barry in like for like.

Think we will struggle today.
With city next - europe is looking harder by the minute. The thought of Barry leading the line is nightmarish for us and horrific for Spurs

Barry hat-trick, lifts up jersey to reveal a white tee underneath bearing the legend "sniff it GOT".

You read it here furst.

Rubbish. David Moyes didn’t contract renewed with West Ham United and was left out of work at the time, so I very much doubt he’s got any massive love or sympathy for his former club.

If this goes tits up, it’ll be down to a weakened back line, a toothless attack, or David Moyes being far too conservative again — same old cautious tactics and no ability to change things in-game, especially with subs. That’s always been his biggest flaw.

Moyes beat us as West Ham manager when we were fighting relegation... Twice.

….amazing that a poster thinks his pre-match team talk will be along the lines of;

“Right lads go easy on this lot today because I used to be their Manager, I don’t want anybody scoring a winning goal”

It’s funny how many football conspiracies pop out around April time

O'Brien was left for dead up against Summerville at home earlier in the season.

We need to get Garner in at RB and JOB into CB where he's been outstanding away from home with Tarkowski this season.

That Summerville v our starting RB battle will be the key to this match today.

If he starts Barry we're doomed. But on a positive note, Mrs TT and I are up from that London. We stayed overnight in Crosby and will visit the Hill Dickinson today. I can't wait!

 

[Bilko]

I can see no way we win this game while Barry is on the pitch,
Hope to be vaulted later !

Bloody hell, I agree!
