"Bigger problems".

We scored a fucken absurd amount of goals without signing the league top scorer and a top playmaker.

Seems to me like "bigger problems" is Meus talk about possession and deserve quotients.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Huddlestone's not even in the squad today, he's back at Spurs Lodge training with Bassong and the other rejects. I knew AVB was a dick, and maybe that's necessary to get the club to the top level, but he'd better get the points rolling in. That he prefers Jenas to Huddlestone is absurd and if results are poor with JJ in the team the fans will be on his back immediately. I'll give him a chance but he's pissing me off already.

AVB's time at Chelsea has conveyed one thing very clearly...he'll do it his way. Even to the bitter end.

True. If he gets us up the league I can't complain. I just hate seeing good players ostracised.

At least Sandro is ready for war:

Shocked more people didn't go for Ian Harte in fantasy. Defender who takes all the penalties and free kicks (and usually scores them).

Liverpool to finish with 65-70 points is the only prediction I'll make.

Allardyce. Book it.

Also happens to be the biggest impediment to West Ham surviving, so they should get it out of the way sooner rather than later.

How the hell is it that Sam, of all things, is the biggest impediment to our survival? For the first time since we were managed by Pardew, we actually look half-competent. Even if I dislike the style of football he has us play, it's undeniable just how much more organised the team look and just how much they actually look like a team, rather than a collection of overpaid mercenaries playing for little else than their pay-cheque.

Also, if not Sam, then who? It's not like there's a wealth of managerial talent for us to turn to should we be insane enough as to sack Allardyce mid-season.

Yeah don't see Allerdyce as a impediment. Certain fans see Allerdyce and think long ball, shit manager. Its not true at all though.

JJ is mobile and can carry the ball and play the pass (sometimes).
Huddlestone isn't mobile and relies on the hollywood pass and the 10 long range efforts to every 1 on target. Basically English version of Charlie Adam.

Leeds: Kenny, Byram, Peltier, Pearce, White, Austin, Norris, Green, Varney, McCormack, Becchio

7 new players, 1 new youngster (Byram, promising defender), another four new signings on the bench incl. El-Hajdi Diouf. Peltier and Austin (bought from Norway) are FM (Championship) legends, 4 new players are from Portsmouth.

McCormack just signed a new contract, will be interesting if he can be as good this season as last. Also, very offensively minded line-up, will be interesting if they can score some goals.

Pearce is looking like a very promising signing, the good central defender they needed last season.

Wolves: Ikeme, zubar, stearman, johnson, ward, jarvis, henry, doumbia, forde, ebanks-blake, doyle.

Fletcher injured, Jarvis might be on his way to West Ham (£10m) but will play today.

Every week we hear they've finished buying players and then they want someone else. Twats.
