Makes you wonder how much better half our footballers could be if the could be arsed to practise with their wrong foot..

As a kid I used to smack a football against a wall with one foot and as it bounced back force myself to return it with the other. Would do this for hours on end to train myself to kick accurately with my left foot. Can't remember the last time I saw kids kicking a football around in the street. Everything seems to be organised by grownups now.

Probably because the grownups moan at the kids for smacking a ball against a wall for hours on end because it makes too much noise

True, there used to be what got dubbed "the knife woman" who would rant and rave out of a top window on the side of her house waving a knife & shouting at me!

Afternoon guys, after all the talk about who West Ham will be signing this summer. Do you think Xherdan Shaqiri would make a good signing?

Keeping the Frenchman would be the best one.

I like that we're bringing a winger in.

Isn't that where Antonio plays? Or rather should play!

[TCEvo]

Yep, apparently ST still fancies him (Antonio) as a RB... can't say I agree.

2016/17 Fixtures released, first six for WHUFC:

Chelski (A)
Bournemouth (H)
Cittee (A)
Watford (H)
WBA (A)
S'hmpton (H)

Tough away trips but home games not too bad, let's home we can avoid another 4-3 against Bournemouth though.

I was at that match. Awful though when we equalised I really thought we might go onto win the match.

Think I gave up at 4-2 & fked off home.

Did you hear Slav talking pre-match? Did he say he can go if anyone can afford him?

[TCEvo]

Club doesn't need or, presumably, want to sell so if anyone's seriously interested it'll be strong, strong money. Amazing considering he was pretty much a forgotten player before we signed him.

He's playing well though.

Bit of an understatement IMO.
