Me and my old man will be in town for the Tottenham game we would love to represent the irons in the away(he’s never been to a prem game) section (we’re from nyc) if anyone can’t make and need to sell. Please hit my life

I’m prepared for a roasting, but is this crazy? I’m considering how we move/possess the ball more through the midfield.

• Kudus is the wild card here (and maybe this causes too much of a defensive liability). My thought is that this allows Kudus to do what he does best, i.e. carry the ball from a deeper position. Also allows him to get on the right side while keeping Bowen in his natural position where he’s been so effective.

• Allows Emerson/Paqueta to keep their connection on the left side while getting Summerville into the squad

Feel like a complete biscuit, thought I'd share my pain to ease the burden. 😂

Ignorant championship fan here. Do you like Declan rice or do you think he’s a snake for leaving you?

Any fellow Chicago Hammers going to the Q&A at AJ Hudsons tomorrow? Going to be my first time going so wondering what to expect. Anything I should try to Ask/Say to Cole?

I am supporting this team since 1998 (PDC). Moved to London several years ago and live around CW, so the dream to support WH became true. I attended a couple of games, but overall I am much less passionate about football and just following it online. And buy some merch on sale/ I was curious if there is any value in the membership (if you do not need tickets). It does not save much if you get things on sale anyway.
How do you use your membership otherwise and do you really need?

This is what I would like to see. My only issue is Paqueta being on the bench. He's been a little loose at times on the ball, but he can be a game changer.

I'd like to hear some thoughts on it, as I don't really like Kudus on the left and I don't like displacing Bowen on the right

Martial has missed 100 games over the last 10 years through injury, which is a significant volume of matches per season, however if he were open to a 1 or 2 year deal, would you take him?

My thoughts are Bowen through the middle fails to fully utilise him, albeit frees up Kudus to play in his favoured and much more effective position. Antonio has been woeful so far, and although Ings took his goal well, I don’t know if he’s any more than a roll of the dice on the 70th minute mark.

Thoughts?

Trying to get me and my mate (both claret members) tickets for united game but when I go to assign one to him it says “client selected does not have correct attributes to purchase seats”. Anyone know why this would be? Thanks

Hello all!

I am working on a TV series about food revolving around football. It's with a famous foodie presenter too. I am looking for the best food recommendations for prior/during/post match at London Stadium, if anyone could help? Any recommendation near Boleyn Ground would be well received too!

• Anywhere near London Stadium with great pre-match atmosphere? Fan-favourite?
• What concession/food vendors at London Stadium are worth trying? Where's the best pie? Any worldie scrans available at the stadium?
• Also, where to go after a game for some 10/10 grub?

I've heard the Ribman was a staple outside Upton Park, do fans still try to find him?

Please let me know!

Hey Irons gang, I wrote a little bit about Lopetegui’s selection dilemma versus Fulham.

Little bit about me: I support BVB and West Ham, I did a journalism degree but don’t work in it. I suffer from a lot of anxiety so haven’t written anything in a few years, but trying to get back into it.

Let me know what you think http://fourfourtom.home.blog/2024/09/16/monday-morning-takeaways/

• We've played 4 games against really good teams, lost the two you would expect and got 4 points from another 2 games we could easily have lost
• All of our best players were involved in international games, Paqueta for instance started both games for Brazil and only trained with us on Friday. It makes sense we were sluggish yesterday.
• We already look a much more coherent team than our last two season under Moyes. I'm sure we will only improve over the course of the season.
• We made a lot of changes in the summer and Lop is clearly taking his time to bed in new players. I don't think the lineup yesterday is anywhere close to his ideal starting 11, but we will get there.

All in all I'm happy with our start to the season, and I really disagree with anyone claiming we are just playing the same as we did under Moyes. We lost 5-0 away to Fulham last season, and 5-2 to Palace.

Think about it, Weve traded scamacca for a much older version of him in Fulkrug and before people say, Undoubtedly we'd have gotten the best out of his in this system as he was more mobile than Fulkrug. Especially with Playing higher up the pitch and having runners in JB and Kudus, more technical passing from Paqueta and Soler etc.

The link up could have seriously opened up teams and he had a very good finish.

Cant help but feel he'd have made a massive difference in this team.
