Don't know and I don't ****ing care anymore the ****s have finally broke me and I've gave my ticket to my cousin as I'm sick of sitting a jibbering wreck moaning my tits off due to frustration (one up front) ... I've yearned for the football to return and when it has they have kicked the stuffing out of me.
We were pretty bad at home last season and unless we attempt to take the game to the opposition are going to be hamstrung even more by it this season. Look at the teams who in the past few years have come up and "had a go" - Burnley, Bournemouth, Watford, Leicester, reaping massive rewards. The teams that came up and tried to bore their way to survival include Hull (not under Silva), Villa, Moyes' Sunderland and Boro. We'll see Sunday, but if it's the usual six at the back, pretend no.10 and inverted wingers we'll get beat. I think we all know - including Bilic - that this is how we'll line up. Defeat for me, 1-3. Like Anyobrien, I'm struggling to be interested.
2-1 win - West Ham are in almost as bad shape as us so far and used a decent team in mid-week to sneak by L2 Cheltenham. My mate who's a hammers fan is dreading this game, but I know I'll not hear the end of it if we lose, so we can't lose this one.

Woah woah woah WOAH. Sorry, but what in the name of jesus holy ****-christ is that? You're missing a left back, you've got FOUR(???) in the "mid"dle of the "field" and no strikers ahead of your inverted wingers. No, no, no, this is ALL wrong. Let me explain. Four Defenders. Two Defendering Midfielders. Three Forwarding Midfielders. ONE isolationist striker. 4-2-3-1. Nothing else makes any sense at all, are you doing netball or hockey or something? 4. 2. 3. 1. So start again. 4, 2, 3, 1. Pick whoever you want but if I catch you coming up with any of this not-4231 mumbo-jumbo voodoo bullshit I'll have you banned. Or put you on a team with Albert in a Mafia game.
sorry I know this is no laughing matter... how about... Manquillo-Lacs-Clark-Aarons Mbemba- Hayden Ritchie-Merino-Murphy Mitro Full backs bomb right on frowards while in possession with Mbemba holding just infront of the back 2, Hayden gets alongside Merino and the Wingers tuck in and support Mitro?
Looking forward to the game and a 2 - 1 win. Strawberry beforehand according to the young un, not sure what he's expecting, but at least I'm not walking up any hills...
What I'd like to see Elliott Manquillo Mbemba Lejuene Clark Atsu Ritchie Merino Aarons Joselu Mitrovic but very unlikely to be what trots over the white line
I'm expecting something like a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. Boring, uninspiring, but not quite enough to send us into total resignation or panic mode. Or to spur any additional transfer funds.
We could lose 12-0 with krul up front and fail to spur additional transfer funds! I reckon we'll sneak a win but we're gunna see football so bad it'll hurt ya balls
I predict a draw on the grounds it would probably make me more miserable in the long run by letting hope flicker for a bit longer before it dies.
