If DM selects this lineup...I'll take a fucking knee !

I don’t think you’ll be needing knee pads any time soon BD

Like the positive intent. But with Cornet and Benrahma as the wide strikers even Wolves would find it hard not to score.

They won't get past 'The Rock' Dawson or 'Scuffer' Zoomer without a VIP pass...

I've just listened to DM flapping his gums and can tell some people are going to be in for quite a surprise saturday - probably not me...

The only surprise for most will be that the Scotch arse will still be in a job after it. But for suffering Hammers fans less so.

With the 2 lowest scoring (I think) teams in the PL, possibly even the entire bloody country I confidently predict a gripping 0-0. Some games are described as being end to end. This one I see maybe being more side to side.

I hear a train strike is planned which will, presumably, spare many from the ordeal of having to watch it.

If Moyes selects that lineup , which he possibly could now that Dawson is back in contention and drops Downes into the midfield I really cannot see a change of fortune for us . Will Moyes change the tactics , which has been worked out by all and sundry , doubt it very much .
You'll be taking the knee alright , you'll be under the executioners axe , I really do hope I am wrong and it all goes well after all its 11 v 11 and anything can happen in football ( Forest beat us ) .
Wolves are no great shakes at the moment ( having a few 1st team starters out injured ) , being just above us with 1 win and 3 draws and have only scored the three goals in seven matches same as us .

I was edging towards this prediction, but we’re quite good at letting them in

Itching to see the tactics Moyes will implement

Soak up pressure nick a goal shut up shop
Go a goal behind finally liven up huff and puff to no avail.


Still going for a 2-1 win though

When I worked at Shell, in accounts, a new-fangled technique called computerisation came in. I was young and and learned some basic programming skills resulting in getting a promotion to become part of the 'computer liason team', a wonderful title that paid me more money, a few expenses included trips to the Hague and a blind eye to my regular habit of not being seen at work on Friday afternoons as I resided in the pubs of Waterloo.

There was an old bloke called Jock Campbell in accounts when I first joined. He couldn't get the hang of computing and carried on, for a while, his plodding method of pen and ink until eventually Shell realised he was costing them money and offered him early retirement which he accepted.

The above is all perfectly true and the moral of the story is if you can't adapt, can only work in the one way you've worked for over twenty years....and in Jock's case you're also Scottish........

You're history.
