The Official West Ham United Thread.

Man Utd huffed and puffed and Martial had a chance he really should have scored towards the end. Despite their possession, I'd say a draw was a fair result. Zarate's miss was shocking.

Having taken a thumping at Spurs a few weeks ago I am pleased with a solid 0:0 at old trafford. A point away against ManU, can't complain...

Maybe but having hit the post 3 times and had 2 one-on-one chances think we'd done enough for the win.

Plus usual st ref'ing as our players are being assaulted again.

Having just seen Stoke on MotD, for the first time ever I'm actually looking forward to watching Stoke play !!

[bad company]

How did AC play? He seems to be taking a lot of criticism lately.

[Mr Red Barron]

looks like we've just lost Reid and Moses for six weeks too.......this is getting ridiculous!

Was going to post that earlier but I've been too busy. Looks like we're moving training grounds early as Chadwell Heath has been cited as a potential cause of the injury issues. Reid out is a major blow, almost as big as Payet IMO.

Switching training grounds...a few injuries too late? At least Carroll is still fit...right? right?

Unbelievable really - currently our are Reid, Payet, Lanzini, Moses, Valencia & Sakho. Our attack's blunter than the blunt end of a blunt thing.

Hopefully he's wrapped in cotton wool & being moved everywhere on a bed of pillows.

I can sense charlie adam preparing to stamp on AC at every opportunity at the weekend already .

Just seen a retweet about changing the training ground to Rush green.

Find this a bit of a joke, are our players really that finely tuned? I doubt it.

Not sure what to expect at UP tomorrow?

I can't believe I'm about to say this... We'll be lucky to get a point against Stoke if they play how they have been playing. We are severely depleted. Fingers crossed they have an off day. 1-1 is being optimistic in my opinion. We aren't a bad team/squad, but we must be topping the injured players charts right now.

To be honest , Chadwell Heath was shameful for a PL team.I'm not sure how the pitches could contribute to hamstring injuries ( they were perfectly flat with plenty of grass etc),but the buildings and lack of basic things like a decent clean outside toilet made it look and feel like a bloody shanty town.
When you see the likes of Spurs and Chelsea' facilities it makes you wonder how we even compete at any level.
As for today , we will really get an idea of how strong our squad is, and for the first time ever looking forward to seeing Stoke play!

They were due to move there next season anyway so it's just been brought forward. BM's spot on though, I training facilities have been st for years.

Going to be a tough one later.

[bad company]

I have great memories of standiong outside Chadwell Heath as a kid getting players autographs as they arrived for training. I remember being schocked at how many players smoked in those days.

I still see the ground from the train to London. I wondered why the place looked empty Thursday morning, guess they were all at Rush Green.

Nobody seems confident about today's match.

[TCEvo]

It'll be odd no longer occasionally seeing them out training from the train window and trying to make out whether there's anything interesting in the car park

Shhhhh! Don't jinx it.

[sjc]

Half time ....wouldn't it be nice if Andy Carroll could bust a gut just once to get in the box
And just once if we could get a corner higher than two bloody foot .

[BrabusMog]

Is it as dull as the scoreline suggests?
