It was pretty disappointing, Basildon Bob, to lose on penners. I think QPR would admit that we outplayed them but didn’t get the goals we deserved in the final.

My boys really enjoyed themselves. Even the Missus had a giggle with a Tottenham fan sat next to us who did quite an amusing “Belly’s gonna get ya” in to the camera when it filmed us.

Trevor Sinclair was definitely the outstanding player of the tourny. Shame our boys couldn’t even make the keeper work for 3 out of the 5 spot kicks.

Didn’t want a new shirt so I got,Steve Gerrard autobiography(a holiday reading book).Last year I read on hols John Lyall autobio for the second time which I recommend if you havn’t read it,and I also got a Ray Davies cd (formerly of The Kinks)and just listened to it. Rate this 7/10
With regards the new shirt,am I the only one who doesn’t like us in navy blue?? I think we should play in white with claret and blue sides or something simular when we are away.
Just a thought.

never liked 4-3-3, especially when we will have the likes of cole/ashton/dixon/dyer to play up front as well as anyone we may yet buy. chris i to think 4-3-3 is just basically 4-5-1 without the correct players to use.

i don’t think we have the right players for it, however then again if we sign a few wingers it may work.

we will have a very competitive midfield next year which is great:

Parker/Colly/Noble/Dyer/Stanislas/LBM/Jimenez/Behrami + any new signings + new youth players next year

this could be a very good year to be a hammer!

E1 4 4 3 is sought of the same as 4 5 1 all depends where the wide people are positioned,so yes I think we will play 4 3 3,and 4 5 1 in the same game.

I didn’t get a shirt but, there again, I didn’t expect one. I did get a coffee mug from my 8-week old grandson with his footprints on it and they were in West Ham blue. So I’m happy enough.

Chris 4-3-3 is more likley IF we get Jiminez and mancini they will be able to come in and around the box as well as going wide. Sturridge would be a better option than Davies IMO.

Sorry dont agree….I’m in the view Ashton wont make it so that leaves us with just cole to hold up the ball,If he gets injured there’s no one.
Roymondo….No Davis would favour zola’s system,I think he will play 4 5 1 next season 2 wide attacking players(hope its mancini) one centre forward to hold the ball and get on the end of things.

Chris : with respect any new player has an element of risk and indeed some existing ie ashton,savio,dyer thats were the manager comes in and thats why zola wants to asess the squad pre-season zola knows Bolotelli he will know best. His attitude problem IF it is ALL true may cause a problem but as far as being good enough on the pitch his goal/game ratio speaks for it’s self.
As for Davies Roymondo, spot on mate we don’t need his type of player unless someone leaves.
