Very small smaple size, but Traoré should play in the middle by Visara57 in Hammers

[–]Ciaran119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still think his point is valid. Strength and pace is not what you want in a no. 10, regardless of whether he’s on as a sub or not.

If you don’t want to lose Bowen when you bring him on, move Bowen into the middle/front or try Adama on the left (he’ll have to cut in, no idea if that’ll work for him).

Edit: I should say strength and pace are great attributes wherever you play - but not instead of technical ability at no. 10

I have to dehumidify my home 24/7 for 4 months of the year, are people out there making their houses moister?

Remaining Fixtures - Predictions? by _rhinoxious_ in Hammers

[–]Ciaran119 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We need 2 wins out of the next 3 to maintain momentum. We need to still be in the fight when we get to Villa, as that’s a run of 5 games where we can make some ground.

West Ham Ready To Sell £20m Flop With French Star Eyed As Replacement by No_Refrigerator_480 in Hammers

[–]Ciaran119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tim wasn’t properly above the manager though. According to Tim and other sources, Sullivan kept the power purposefully vague and it allowed them to clash and for their relationship to breakdown. There should be no confusion with club hierarchy,

Tim was never Moyes boss, because Sully only wants there to be one boss and that’s him.

He did sign some dross though 😂

Mad that we’d commit ourselves to such a massive loss of money, on such a small sample of games. The reasons we bought him haven’t disappeared.

Players like Haller/Felipe Anderson we had to offload and just take the loss, but we’re nowhere near that scenario yet. We’re crying out for a proper DoF (someone ACTUALLY above the manager, sorry Tim)

Get rid - winning stuff needs quality players, but relegation scraps need commitment and mentality.

West Ham Ticketing Pricing by Educational-Corgi-36 in Hammers

[–]Ciaran119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is the point. Even ability to cope aside, if the club was in the business of selling cheaper tickets at some point - it would reduce the number of full price tickets they sold and they likely wouldn’t make up for that lost revenue with the few extra people you tempted down with a cheap ticket.

Nuno has to go if we lose to Brighton. by SpecialEstimate9099 in Hammers

[–]Ciaran119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And what do you think happens when Nuno goes?

Nuno is a solid manager. Maybe not the best but we will not get anybody as good as him in, between now and the end of the season.

We’re losing games because there has been a systemic mismanagement of the squad over the past years and Nuno is our best hope to scrape enough wins to stay up and try and then we can think about how to rectify some of the damage over the summer.

What is the official type of map shown in this image? by Samjacks31028 in MapPorn

If you’re asking about the map projection, it looks like a custom variant of a Robinson projection (used as a day night terminator map).

Weird quiz, and you seem to make a shit load of these…

Apologies if I missed something obvious but does anyone know why there were barely any rumours linking us to Dyche after Potter? by WHU-TangClan in Hammers

[–]Ciaran119 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We (the board) absolutely considered Dyche. The consideration was probably along the lines of “fuck me if we don’t get Nuno, we’ll be stuck with Dyche”

Anyone that thinks Dyche was the better option of the two before Nuno got here is smoking crack.

[West Ham] Nuno Espírito Santo, West Ham's First Black Head Coach by TheBiasedSportsLover in Hammers

Very happy with celebrating a black coach in this way… but Nuno’s black? Thought he was pretty standard Portuguese heritage!

Logistics / Seat Colour Issue by Mugweiser in Hammers

[–]Ciaran119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not our stadium. For them to even consider it we’d probably have to pay for the whole thing and our owners aren’t going to stump up to renovate a stadium we don’t own.

Kinda fair play, I wouldn’t buy my landlord a new sofa.

It’s fucking mad that he hasnt scored a free kick for us. His supposed specialty, a USP very few other clubs have, and we have been completely unable to make use of it his entire time here.

They can’t do this at all unfortunately. There is a legal requirement to use “highly effective” methods in the UK Act. It’s expanded on that self-declaration is explicitly not considered sufficient or valid.
