As we’re now MASSIVE, should everyone be talking about the big 7, or is it still the big 6 with us replacing either the spuds or arsenal?

I absolutely love the fact that we are MASSIVE and STILL going under the radar.

Long may it continue.

Random rumour here on the Riviera.
Jorginho is a corrupt player.
On the books of Mafia in exchange for papers.
Watch his recent mistakes.
Watch his pass back to Mendy vs US and watch his fake run back to cover and reaction. Bloke I know won big money on that equaliser being a penalty and only put bet on AFTER Chelsea went 1 nil up.
Interesting.......

What papers ? Like The Sun, Daily Mirror etc ?

Lily - I thought we've recently ended unbeaten runs of Liverpool and Chelsea because we're massive, when it's now obvious they underperformed

You can’t put it down to the usual suspects playing badly without saying the “lesser” clubs played better. We, for example, were excellent. We took 6 points off Liverpool, beat Man City and Man Utd, and Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.

Just had a read of Garth Crooks team of the week on the BBC football page. Always chuckle at the shit this guy writes (or has someone write for him). He’s got Bowen in this week, and starts with this;

“I've never been a great fan of Jarrod Bowen not because he can't play but because a kid with his talent should be scoring more goals”

“However, against a desperately unlucky Chelsea…….”

What a prick.

Re: ⚽ West Ham v Chelsea - Official Match Thread FT 3-2

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. It was a very good Leicester side, but they were lucky that all of Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City were dramatically below the standards they'd normally achieve. And I suspect the boards of those clubs agreed as all of them changed their manager during or at the end of the season.

Re: ⚽ West Ham v Chelsea - Official Match Thread FT 3-2

Alex G - maybe, or maybe a sign of a more competitive league.. You can give other teams credit without saying it was because others underperformed..

Alex G 6:54 Sun Dec 5
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Chelsea - Official Match Thread FT 3-2

I'm going to have to politely disagree with you Fraser. don't get me wrong, if you offered me us getting the 81 points Leicester got that season I'd bite your hand off for it, but you only win the title with a points haul like that if none of the major clubs have a good year.

Look at the points hauls that season of Man City and Man United (both 66), Liverpool (60) and Chelsea (50!). I'd suspect that those are the lowest values those clubs finished on for many a year either side of Leicester's win.

Just for comparison a couple of years ago Liverpool finished the season on 97, points. Normally that would be seen as an amazing achievement but they were unlucky that Man City finished with 98!

You make your own luck to a certain extent in any sport, but the one thing you can't control is how your rivals do in games you're not playing in.

Re: ⚽ West Ham v Chelsea - Official Match Thread FT 3-2

Alex G - I think that's absolute bollocks saying it was because other teams under achieving.

Each season starts anew.. And they won the league because they were better than the rest.. Not because the others were poor.. That's quite insulting to them.

If we finish in the top four it will be simply because we deserve it, not because it was gifted to us.

Re: ⚽ West Ham v Chelsea - Official Match Thread FT 3-2

We re clearly miles from the current top 3 and possible man U in terms of players and resources, but do you think we are now on a par with the likes of Arsenal and Sp*rs on a consistent basis in being able to compete for that top 4/5/6 spot?

Mike Oxsaw 6:27 Sun Dec 5
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Chelsea - Official Match Thread FT 3-2

I wonder which "big teams" they had in mind when they were thinking such teams were having a "off-season", just 15 games in.

Alex G 6:24 Sun Dec 5
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Chelsea - Official Match Thread FT 3-2

With their extra resources then the only way we should be finishing above 'bigger' clubs is from a combination of different degrees of us over achieving and them under achieving. I'd say at the moment it's much more us exceeding what we should be doing, with only Manchester United doing significantly worse than you'd expect.

What rarely gets mentioned around the miracle of Leicester winning the title was how poor by their standards pretty much all the rich clubs were that season. Yep, Leicester had a great season, but normally what they achieved would have seen them settle for second or third.

fraser 6:11 Sun Dec 5
Re: ⚽ West Ham v Chelsea - Official Match Thread FT 3-2

It's not obvious to me, if we miraculously finish in the top 4 it won't be because they've had an off season it will be simply because this season we were better than them.. That would be taking credit from us

Cunts for stating the obvious?

Re: ⚽ West Ham v Chelsea - Official Match Thread FT 3-2

Did BT say before the game something like we may have a genuine chance of getting into CL if we're able to take advantage of some of the big teams having a bad season.. Absolute cunts

Comment from today’s Observer:

‘Riding high in fourth place, West Ham were immense.’

I think he meant Massive but forgiven as he almost got it right…

Yes and a decision like that Alf is why we will never win anything under Southgate.
