It begins for the English today as West Ham face FC Lusitans in front of a sold out Upton Park this evening. The team will be a bit mixed. Randolph, O'Brien, Tomkins, Burke, Page. Jarvis, Oxford, Poyet, Amalfitano. Zarate, Sakho.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:33 pm

2-0 at half time thanks to two Sakho goals

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jul 02, 2015 10:41 pm

3-0 win. Boring game. Tomkins got the third.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jul 09, 2015 7:55 pm

In the away leg its 1-0 to us through Elliot Lee but Sakho has been sent off, not that it matters

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jul 16, 2015 11:16 pm

Job just about done tonight as we score late to win only 1-0.

RED CARD: James Tomkins (West Ham United)
44min: Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. James Tomkins and Nikola Vukanac end up scrapping inside the box WWE style and it takes a good four minutes to calm the situation as players from both sides crowd the referee following the incident.

A yellow card looked fair enough punishment for both players following the incident, but Tomkins gets his marching orders while Vukanac escapes with a yellow - having feigned a facial injury for good measure too.

This could be the best thing to happen to West Ham if they get knocked out, far more money to be earned placing well in the league.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:07 pm

Ref has just sent one of theirs off for nothing too. Baffling performance, one of our players just apologised for the ref to the player going off.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:32 pm

Get in! Good 120 minute workout Wink

Some of those players will be lucky to see time on the pitch for us ever again.

Aberdeen pull off the result of the round, Rijeka are a very good side, particularly at home, did very well last Season in the Europa, think they'd only lost once in 55 home games and the Dons destroyed them 3-0 then saw out the tie 2-2 although it did go to 0-2 Rijeka, they're rated 85 places above Aberdeen, very good result.

Inverness C.T were so unlucky last night, if they had a goalscorer they'd have went through, the only difference between ICT & Astra was the stunning free kick their boy scored last week, he's a bit of a specialist so West Ham should be weary of them, they knocked Lyon out last year and their draw against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League helped Celtic secure 2nd spot in the group, they looked a better side at Celtic Park thab they did at Home, Celtic drew 1-1 with them in Romania but should have won the tie comfortably, they did score a peach of a goal but thats all they offered, ICT were in their first ever Euro tie so maybe a bit naive but they hit them with everything, Astra were throwing themselves about all over the place in the last 15 minutes, major time wasters

Europe is fun!

by Duty281 Thu Jul 30, 2015 10:48 pm

West Ham getting relegated this year! #hammersrelegationparty

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Jul 30, 2015 11:52 pm

I think you'll find I had the west ham to be relegated tip once Allardyce went duty - and I stick by it

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri Jul 31, 2015 12:41 am

We'll be fine. We bossed the game till the sending off (fair play winners) and Payet is a notch above most players outside the top four. If we dunk out of Europe than we'll probably finish top 10

by Guest Fri Aug 07, 2015 12:14 pm

Playoff

Manchester United vs Club Brugge. Comfortable

by Fernando Fri Aug 07, 2015 12:23 pm

Anyone really surprised at United getting an easy draw in europe it happens every year Laugh

by NickisBHAFC Sat Aug 08, 2015 12:02 am

West Ham going out this early on in the Europa league, it's just disgraceful.

by Duty281 Sun Aug 09, 2015 4:25 pm

West Ham favouring the league over some tinpot European competition = solid win at the Emirates.

by Guest Tue Aug 18, 2015 8:54 pm

Man U 0-1 Brugge picard

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Aug 18, 2015 8:55 pm

Epically bad own goal

by GSC Tue Aug 18, 2015 8:55 pm

by Lowlandbrit Tue Aug 18, 2015 8:55 pm

Bloody hell, Timmy Simons is still playing professional football?

by Duty281 Tue Aug 18, 2015 8:57 pm

How much of a tw@ is Michael Owen?

Talking about this being Brugge's World Cup Final. picard

He's an ignorant and incompetent man.

Brugge trying to copy Villa's high pressing from Friday, it seems, which does cause United discomfort.

by GSC Tue Aug 18, 2015 9:00 pm

Well that was fun while it lasted

by Fernando Tue Aug 18, 2015 9:15 pm

It feels very odd not to be watching an Arsenal match today Erm

I don't like it.

by Hammersmith harrier Tue Aug 18, 2015 9:30 pm

LVG's favourite pair combining for a classy second.

by Guest Tue Aug 18, 2015 9:33 pm

Brugge feeling the pace & this looks ominous now. Great goal by Memphis.

by Ent Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:15 pm

Let's see what hernandez can do here, that back heel aside Rooney has stopped every attack he's been involved in.

by GSC Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:25 pm

An interesting point was raised. Rooneys not ancient in terms of age for a footballer, but in terms of games played he is. Wonder if his body's on a permanent decline.

by Ent Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:27 pm

Your body being in decline doesn't make your touch appalling.

by Hammersmith harrier Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:37 pm

Standard Fellaini goal.

by NickisBHAFC Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:38 pm

Job done for United.

by GSC Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:39 pm

Fellaini prevents it from being awkward next week.

Got the job done again is really all you can say

by Jermaine2015 Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:39 pm

Is Felliani LvG's surprise striker for 2015/16?

by Jermaine2015 Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:40 pm

And Depay looks an excellent young player

by Hammersmith harrier Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:42 pm

Some promising signs in there; Darmian continues to impress, Depay two goals and an assist, Smalling continues to be solid, Shaw improving, midfield looks alright, just need a bit more in the final third.

by Ent Tue Aug 18, 2015 11:30 pm

that's saved us from a poor result, bruge aren't great for
This level.

A lot of issues for the side, the question needs to be asked about Rooney. He has been poor as a lone striker in 3 games this season. Hasn't scored away from home for 16 months etc etc he looked better in his cameo in a deeper role.

by compelling and rich Wed Aug 19, 2015 8:56 pm

celtic flying here, but its still celtic. would still need a clean sheet and another goal to be sure in my book

by NickisBHAFC Wed Aug 19, 2015 9:58 pm

Go on the Celtic!

by compelling and rich Wed Aug 19, 2015 10:00 pm

theres that away goal, for me malmo favourites now

by monty junior Wed Aug 19, 2015 11:38 pm

It's all about mentality, Malmo clearly can't defend but they never went after them and paid the price. Poor result considering the start, pretty fantastic performance from the ref as Malmo's 12th man! Boyata, Izaguirre and Bitton were atrocious!

by Fernando Tue Aug 25, 2015 9:58 pm

Celtic heading out of Europe 2-0 down to Malmo, Need 2 to get themselves in it.

Had a goal disallowed but should be down to 10 after Griffiths kneed a player in the balls.

by GSC Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:00 pm

hahahahahaha

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaaha

by Duty281 Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:00 pm

Yes - bye-bye Celtic!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:05 pm

Why do you care so much?

by Duty281 Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:06 pm

About what, my darling?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:15 pm

About Celtic losing bae? Tis a political thing?

by Fernando Tue Aug 25, 2015 10:18 pm

Since Duty has been a glorified Arsenal fan recently it's mandatory to hate Celtic Laugh

Never! And never!

I'm just a passionate supporter of Malmo, the richest club in all Sweden!
