Carlton cole to start?

And score?

Think we will win 2-1 personally.

Collison and carroll to score.
yacob to score for wba as we were going to sign him and that always happens... (See ivan ramis)

Markus Rosenberg If he starts I will also start to believe Dean Saunders really does know the formula for getting into the Premier League.
We cannot afford to play a game with 10 men, which is the effect Rosenberg has. I just don't see what he offers us.
As usual, I am prepared to be proved wrong. But I won't hold my breath.

Noble missing is a blow for the Hammers, I hope Nolan is fit (still don't like him) I can never work out exactly what he does but it appears to make a difference.

Every manager seems to have a love child. Rosie seems to be Stevies...


When he scores the winner, we can show just how fickle we are...

I'm hoping last week's OS news will give everyone at the club a big boost.
This is a must-win game for West Ham. Lose it, and we're in real trouble.

Collison and carroll to score.
yacob to score for wba as we were going to sign him and that always happens... (See ivan ramis)

Ohhhhhhh. Tell you what. You missed out on one hell of a player.

He's been immense for us.

What a player.

But you don't have to worry about him scoring, he doesn't go past the half way line.

1-1 draw with Rosenberg grabbing a late goal.

JH - I shall be there. I don't often go to away games and this ground is a first for me. They will be tough at home but I don't expect us to come away with nothing.

It's actually a nice ground.

Kind of reminded me of a castle with how square and high it was Alouion.

Baggies end has been sold out for weeks. Should be good atmosphere

Won't be going to this one but looking forward to seeing how we deal with the hammers. Stoke we dealt with well but they also managed to stop us in an attacking sense, hopefully we create some more space at the Boleyn. I'd give Rosenberg a few starts to let him back up his claims about not having enough minutes, still think there's something there we're not being showed.

Agree.

He's scored goals at some big clubs.

A run of 3/4 starts with decent game time....then we can make a fair and proper judgement on him.

Anybody ever been to the Albion pub in London.

Looks epic. Think I'm going to go on Saturday if possie.

It's a great pub, bit of a walk from Bethnal Green station, but worth it.

That said it's a good few years since I've been so don't quote me on that.

Nice one DE.

Sounds like a must for a Baggie when visiting London.

Well worth a visit, but as others have said, it's s fair trek to the West Ham ground. Went there before the 3-4 game, was a fantastic day!

Youssouf Mulumbu, what were you thinking?

Yeah, that's very poor from him. God knows what he was thinking. He thought it was a full-time whistle hence he got frustrated.

Thanks for the 3 points..

Fair play Hammers a deserved win.

Same problems keep cropping up away from home though for us. Too slow starting games away from home. Why hasn't Clarke addressed this?

I think one of the main differences between the teams today was that one was safe and seeing out the season, whilst the other was involved in a relegation fight.
