Match Day Thread West Ham v Hull City

So... how about that West Ham vs Hull City match, eh?

This is the match day thread, right?

 

And yet, the results are there.

 

Quill, can you remember when it was all fields around here?

And when Starburst were called Opal Fruits?

Amazing.

 

Why are people calling Marathon Snickers?

It's awfully confusing.

 

Questionable.

 

Has anyone posted the fact that Tottenham have been awarded the tie because Leyton Orient players tested positive?

We could have been awarded the tie and played in the next round.

Would have been worth it if it brought more income into the club?

 

Why? They still could put out a team.

 

Sorry didn't realist Orient were unable to put a team out. Is that a fact or were they trying it on?

 

Maybe they could but the local council wouldnt let the match go ahead

 

Go to 21:30 to hear an interview with Robert Snodgrass about his departure from the club and the goings on ahead of West Ham Vs us earlier in the week.

Confirms what many before him said about new contracts not materialising and everybody from the Phelan/Silva season leaving.

 

Double post.

 

Very interesting interview. I didnt realise they test for COVID-19 3 or 4 times a week.
It does seem as if the club were looking for a reduced cost base even then.

 

Rather than "He's a good player. We better give him another contract". It was more "He's a good player. Let's try to sell him".

 

Norman Hunter error v Poland

 

Was Moore's very similar error against Brazil?

 

Genuinely can’t remember. Poss my age. Which game? Not the 0-1 where Jairzinho scored the goal. No real error there.

 

I dont know but I was thinking Hunter and Moore's errors were very similar.

 

We are playing West Ham again? When?

 

“I understand the EFL have told their clubs that offers like ours should be accepted. I should think so. And with thanks.“
that’s Karen Brady’s rather condescending last line from her column this morning ,regarding city’s refusal of the offer of tests .

 

Moore's error was in the first game in Poland, when he let the ball slip under his foot for the Polish striker to get a run on the ball and slide it passed shilton. Think it was 1973. England lost 2-0 that night. That might have been Moore's final competitive England appearance.
Hunter's error was in the return at Wembley in 74 when England hammered them but could only score through a Clark penalty in a 1-1 draw. That meant England didn't make it to the 1974 world cup in West Germany. Alf Ramsey's last game in charge. Don Revie took over and was crap
