Utmost.

Yeah, alright clever clogs. F***ing pedant!

It’s no wonder West Ham fans want Moyes to go. According to the BBC match stats for tonight’s game between Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham, BL had 73% possession, 33 attempts on goal, 13 on target. West Ham had 27% possession, ONE !! attempt on goal which actually was on target.

I say again the one top quality player from the Union project and we haven’t got him what was the point? He would have been the Welbeck replacement for next few seasons.

We couldn’t sign him as we aren’t allowed to sign players from USG until January 2025.

But they do still have a chance in the second leg. Or a better chance than losing 4-0 like we did. Moyes tactics away from home are miles better suited to Europe than RDZ’s were. When you have your home leg second, just stay in the bloody tie to maximise home advantage.

 

[Winker]

Let's face it, West Ham have essentially had a free pass up until now.
The first decent team they have come up against and they lose.
A very Southgate-like performance.

It's a really strange one isn't it?

Even though Bloom relinquished all his shares?

Even though Bloom relinquished all his shares?

Bloom didn’t relinquish all his shares, he reduced his shareholding (to 25% according to The Athletic) to comply with UEFA rules. There was also a transfer ban put in place. The ban also prevented moves between Toulouse & Milan and Aston Villa & Vitória Guimarães.

Yeah, very much this.
I still haven't FULLY got over the fact that we could've been playing in the San Siro tonight.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

What?

The apprentice. You're fired.

I'll get your coat...

Sadly that didn’t include Aston Villa

Although Lille were the better side and should of got a draw. Hopefully they'll turn villa over in 2nd leg

 

[Chicken Run]

It’s amazing isn’t it, years ago when we were languishing in the lower echelons of the English leagues looking up to the stars i always wanted the English teams to do well in Europe, whoever they were.

Fast forward to 2024/2025 season when we play these mugs week in week out I wish them nothing but pain and suffering

That’s football innit? Full of could’ve beens, should’ve beens, might have beens. Aside from the stuffing at Roma we put in a good shift for our first ever season. Top of our group and in the end we had five wins, a draw and two defeats. Not too shabby, live and learn and all that.

A poor week for English teams, aside of Citeh and Villa

 

[One Love]

Sadly that didn’t include Aston Villa

How the hell VAR let their first goal stand is beyond me.

Blatant interference to remove the defender from the far post, same old Villa, always cheating.

This. Watching the Apprentice

So you're the one.

All about opinions but what IMO what a crock of s**t that programme is.

Way past its sell by date IMO.

I don't disagree! I watch it because I have a 13 year old and he watches it with us as an excuse to stay up late, so it's a bonding thing. As a concept, it is full of holes and deception, and it lacks any sort of integrity.

Yep, i’ve gone from watching the entire series and the spin off to fast forwarding the entire episode just to see the last 10 minutes of squirmfest

We could see most or all of the English teams out next leg - Liverpool and West Ham need miracles to progress.

While Arsenal can't be written off, it's hard to see them getting past Bayern in Munich.

City is not a sure thing either, while Villa have an advantage but could still feck it up given how inconsistent they have been lately.

Interesting take on fatherhood.
