Do West Ham even have the fanbase to sell out that stadium?

[9 to 5]

They do, in theory. West Ham are well supported, but can't see it being filled much.

[Thrilla]

I really hope they have a shit season

Do West Ham even have the fanbase to sell out that stadium?

Yes, no, not sure. But they are selling season tickets for the new stadia for absolutely balls.

P.S. Fuck Wet Spam.

I'm working from home and Sky have put recent Premiership Years on all morning. Productivity low.

Just saw the 4-4, there are literally goosebumps on my legs after Tiote's goal. Must turn the heating up. 11/12 next, yay!

[TCO]

The ridiculousness of that comeback aside, Tiote smashing in a volley from outside the box, on his left foot is a once in a lifetime occurrence on its own!

[Colly]

Twice if not for the most ridiculous interpretation of the offside rule in modern times...

[The Lusophone]

Speaking of, hasn't it changed again this year?

[Benji]

Tony Cascarino's Revenge (Cascarino's Revenge due to character limit) has entered the fray in the EWB FFPL!

[Colly]

Speaking of, hasn't it changed again this year?

Yeah. It's clear as mud and open to interpretation as always, but that goal would still be onside. Bloody City getting all the decisions as usual.

[Baddar]

Speaking of, hasn't it changed again this year?

Anyone interfering with play (stood in front of the GK) or anyone deemed to have attempted to play the ball, whether they make contact or not, can be flagged offside.

[Whisper]

And here I was thinking that had always been the rule...

[Baddar]

De Gea won't play against Spurs.

[Lineker]

Pellegrini signs a new contract through to 2017.

This is cool, thought I slightly doubt the 'Given our track record, when we're due to win another trophy/promotion' of 2016, even if just that we can't be relegated until then. They have used Texaco Cups and promotions in the trophy stats which is nice.

It informs me that I share my birthday with Darius Vassell. :/

[Colly]

I got Marveaux and Riera. Think you win.

[Hobo]

It reminded me I share my birthday with Nigel Martyn.

Newcastle's average score in my lifetime is 1-1, how soul crushingly bland and predictable that was.
