As I've mentioned before I have a somewhat outsiders view of things as West Ham are very much my 2nd team. Therefore I don't care if Rice is a product of the academy or not, couldn't care less.
I watch most Hammers matches online and more often than not (including today) Rice looks to have more awareness and football nous than most of his supposed peers. He is a class act in a very average team. Given his age he will become a top level player.
The current midfield is woeful and needs a total reboot, Noble and Kouyate need to go. The defence is left horribly isolated too often which obviously makes them look bad, but more often than not it is the lack of midfield support causing the issues.
Trolly McTrollface, you had been doing quite well recently. I mentioned a few weeks ago that the obvious sign of a troll was that you did not interact in general threads and purely set out to aggravate with your own topics. Almost from that day on you started to interact more in general threads(I am sure you were totally oblivious to my post
). But you still lack the subtlety to carry on this facade of actually caring. You don't care, you never have. I am a Blackburn fan and I care more about what the Hammers fans are going through than you ever will (we've been in a very similar situation ourselves).
If this is the best thing you can do to wile away the hours of your life, well good luck to you, you need it. May I suggest a few evening classes in trolling though, much needed, quite cheap. Your benefits should cover it.
