    Was thinking that. Of all the mid table sides, West Ham are the only ones I can’t remember a visiting fan, you’d have expected Ammer Boy to have shown up by now. (Cue Moog)

    I can't go as I have a match.
    PM me if you want my ticket.
    Will check post 5pm tonight and if no takers I will use the club re sale thingy.

    Any chance of a preview for your match?

    Is the diminutive Italian chain smoker playing?

    Any members of the squad still struggling for match fitness?

    Yep. We need to know about racquet weights, string tensions, any 'previous' with umpires, will there be VAR? That kinda stuff ...

    EB, bravo!

    A CL level start by the Match Previewers this season.

    But why no Architectural Corner?

    Thanks, and in answer to your question, it was planned for but I was conscious of not meeting my own in the morning deadline, took a little longer than I’d expected!

    Just started playing tennis myself and choosing a tennis racket isn’t as easy as I’d imagined. Although due to my ability (or lack of) it probably doesn’t really matter! So yes I’ll read that match report and take some notes.

    Javi will stick to the same formation, Deeney will start for some unfathomable reason and we will lose 0-2. "Dangerous" Dawson will give one away, Welbeck and Sarr on the bench will get 20 minutes each after we go 2 down.

    So depressingly accurate

    Should it be racket or racquet? Jury's out. The view of a French Canadian might be informative.

    Jeez - this post is so sensible I almost missed it.

    But if we lose again, the forum meltdown will be interesting to read and ‘disappointing’ probably won’t be the most used descriptor...

    Ever the optimist, 2-1 win to kickstart the season.

    Regardless of the result, if we score on Saturday, I'm going to **** my pants. I recommend you all do the same.

    Imagine 10,000 adults all emptying their bowels in a stadium at one time? It could become our thing.

    A bit like of one those glossy instructions you get in planes, will the club provide instructions on what to do if we score a goal?
    I'm usually in the brace position, sitting forward with head in hands when I'm watching Watford matches. [​IMG]

    I think they should offer something along the lines "In the unlikely event that Watford score a goal, you need to raise your arms and shout as loud as you can. A whistle is also provided to attract attention."

    Club could save money on whistles and just ask everyone to bring their flags...

    Does Geoff Pike still play for them?

    The whistle is provided to the referee for when he disallows the goal and gives a free kick to the opposition.

    There is one downfall with that.

    What if afterwards, like seconds later, there is a VAR call and the goal is chalked off? Be quite an interesting turn of events.

    I’m fully behind Javi and the lads and I’m their biggest fan.

    But lose this weekend and they’re all dead to me.

    I'm suggesting a 30 second pause, to allow for any review, and then we all, simultaneously unload into our kecks.

    The very same tactic is used by the old farts that can’t handle change and don’t want to leave ‘their seat’ in the Rookery.

    Sometimes when too much shampoo comes out, I have to get release some air in the bottle, hover it over the shampoo, and suck the shampoo back up into the container.

    I’m not sure if it is possible to recreate this effect using the human body, but it would be my first port of call.

    The tension of the review would certainly help.

    There's bound to be an 'early releaser' whose sphincter muscle simply can't handle the excitement.

    Easy win. West Ham are rubbish. Be a terrible result if we don’t put at least 3 past them.

    If you say that out loud you sound like a scouser saying ‘get opposing’.

    I wouldn’t recommend our Everton friend tries it though, it might cause a glitch in the Matrix.
