    I think Tall Paul has more goals in him right now then Mara. We have just been utterly **** at getting the ball to him in the right places when he has been on the pitch. Mara seems very hit and miss and has generally been better when coming off the bench imo.

    Had a little look on the West Ham forum. They are mostly very confident of not just a win, but an easy win. We are the worst team in the league and home to us will be their easiest game of the season. Hopefully their players go into it thinking that too and hopefully ours go in with a point to prove. One thing I always find amusing when having a look at our oppositions forums is that they fear corners and crosses as well as free kicks because of JWP. He's (we're) pretty **** at corners and bar the occasional great cross, most of those are poor too. JWP free kicks are our only consistent threat.

    Che pulled out of the Scotland squad after the first game with injury so you'd think it's unlikely that he'll feature on Sunday.

    Mara for me. Just feel he's a bit of a wild card, while Tall Paul looks very predictable.

    Was a great leap from Mara for Walcott's goal too, so he can be useful in the air.

    It's weird to say that Walcott is an absolute nailed on starter for Sunday but he is.

    Sutton; “He (Moyes) definitely needs the big calls to go his way this time, otherwise he could end up on the wrong end of a karate move - and get the chop”. <laugh>

    I’ve always said Walcott brings so much to the team. Not just his presence in the dressing room.

    Sorry.

    I’m umming and arring about Sally Sue. People have said that he and beddy are **** together, but wasn’t that under Jones when everyone was ****? Personally I think Sally is alright, he can stick a long throw on Paul’s bonce.

    Updates from Selles' Press Conference: Bella-Kotchap out for this match, but Salisu and Adams may be available - further training session tomorrow (Saturday) to assess their fitness, or otherwise.

    Those first couple of sentences need to pinned to our dressing room wall as a reminder of overblown optimism by some London clubs supporters.

    I've been debating between a prediction of 2-0 or 3-1.

    I think I'll go with 2-0 to West Ham.

    Seems to be the most popular prediction, even Lawro has gone for 2 - 0 WHU.

    I’m a saints supporter so always believe in the upset. If I didn’t I’d have nothing to believe in at all.

    Never bet on the favourite in a two horse race.
