Good away result and Haller off the mark nice and early.

Excellent - scored seven goals there in two games.

Pleased for Nobes. First game back, scores & we win.

And 15 years to the day he made his debut.... nice .

Yes - should've added that as well.

Currently the longest serving player in the PL

Remember the game v. Southend, last time we played them competitively.

WH won 2-0, Harewood with both goals, second in the 90th min.

S'end brought loads, overall attendance only 16,900 though - how things change.

Noble walked home from UP that evening.

Seriously! I didn't know that. You'd think the club could have called a taxi for him.

I think he lived in Canning Town at the time - probably quicker to walk.

Plus the cabbies would've all been in the away end.

Just watched MOD. We looked good and unusually at full strength.

Just catching up now, Haller's movement for his first goal was real class, that was no simple tap in!

I wonder which clubs will be in for him at Christmas

He'll be injured by then...

Overhead kick in front of the away fans. Decent way to start your WH life.

Indeed it was, son and me both said” Christ a West Ham striker that moves in the box!”
Very promising from what I’ve seen in his two appearances.

Also, he's apparently the 150th different player to score in the PL for WHUFC - record in the league.

[bad company]

From today’s Daily Telegraph, our strikers since 2010. Eee Gods we’ve signed a few donkeys.

[TCEvo]

There's some utter ste in there.

God knows where some of these clowns were found - presumably waiting for a bus on Green Street.

Ilan. Maguire. Fat Benni etc, etc.

Garbage.

1264 ish appearances
250 goals
What’s worse, is the amount of signings that didn’t score at all!

[Hammer67]

Carlton scored more than 9 goals for WH.

Somehow.

[bad company]

I don’t see Antonio as a striker at all.

The best 2 in there were Sakho and Demba Ba. Both odd characters imo but they knew where the goal was.

[BrabusMog]

Losing Ba was a real shame, he was a proper striker.

Or play - names on there that most of us probably never even saw.

Mido and Mccarthy knew where the kitchen was .

I’d like to see that table broken down to minutes on the pitch...

Andy Carroll wouldn’t have had many minutes.
