    Don't think it would bother them looking at some of the subs on our bench; they cant hit a goal so no chance hitting a person with the ball.

    Changing tack - at Christmas I received a two dvd set, called The Best Decade, it included The Big Match West Ham edition and a copy of the 75 final.

    Essentially it features highlights of a West Ham game for each year from 1969 - 1983 (not exactly a decade but still) as shown on sundays The Big Match, I got strangely nostalgic at The Big Match intro music for each year.

    Brian Moore and Jimmy Hill, words fail me (but to be fair I always did prefer Motsons commentary) but watching this made me realize just how far we have come in how the game is presented.

    I have been laid low with the bug that is going around but I must admit that it made for a decent watch from my sick bed.

    In between long spells of definitely working very hard today at work, I decided to take a look at the 'best of the rest' teams in the league and try to make a two bext XIs from the squads. The Best of the Best of the Rest vs The Rest of the Best of the Best of the Rest, if you will.

    It's really hard to do, and I've tried not to be biased, but this is what I came up with.

    GK: Fabianski / Patricio
    DR: Doherty / Wan-Bissaka
    DC: Coady / Diop
    DC: Maguire / Ake
    DL: Chilwell / Digne
    DM: Rice / Gueye
    MC: Doucoure / Neves
    AM: Brooks / Maddison
    RW: Zaha / Arnautovic
    LW: Anderson / Richarlison
    ST: Jimenez / Vardy

    What does everyone think?

    It's for Best players not overrated ;sofa

    I'd probably have (pre-January) Arnautovic ahead of Vardy.

    How very dare you!!

    (bet Bats scores more points from now til the end of the season than Lanzini will....)

    Wilson and Fraser (before Wilson got injured and Fraser played hard sides ;lol )

    Also, Pereira at Leicester too has contributed plenty of assists and some goals

    I’d have Heaton over Patricio personally & probably Rondon over Vardy based on form this season (I appreciate Heaton has only played since Xmas).

    Rest of that is pretty fair, to be honest. ;ok
  • alderzalderz
    Lanzini hasn’t played this year so I’m not including him, but each of the others were considered

    Would hate to see Zaha playing for us, regardless how good or not he is, just a big FAT no on that 1!, But guess he fits in the best of the rest....
  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    The mention of Wilson made me check back on B'mouth this year - how can they beat Chelski 4-0 on the Wednesday and then lose 0-2 at Cardiff on the Saturday? ;hmm
  • secrethammersfansecrethammersfan
    That's rich, Mr. "lose 4-2 against Wimbledon and draw 1-1 against Liverpool"!
  • AdamAdam
    The question is would that squad get into the top 4?
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    But we beat Wimbledon 3-1 in the first leg so it ended 5-5 on aggregate. We win on away goals. ;biggrin

    From KUMB:

    Reece sees red as Augsburg falter.

    Oxford, who returned to Germany at the end of the January transfer window has started the last three games for die Fuggerstädter - all of which have ended in defeat.

    die Fuggerstädter = the Fugger townspeople

    So don't ever complain about all the Wet Spam, Wet Sham etc. names the Spuds et al call us.

    ;biggrin

    Its a tenuous link (nein nein nein for three Oxford losses) but was on a youtube trip down memory lane (80's club tunes) and this came up...

    The Fugger Family were an extremely rich family in medieval times, known for bankrolling the Emperor Charles V and for having an entire gated quarter built in Augsburg for poor people. (Fuggerei) To this day, if you are from Augsburg, catholic and of excellent reputation you can apply to rent one of these flats (60sqm) for a yearly rent of what would be something like 60p (yes, it really IS that low).

    You are, however, required to pray a certain amount of Ave Marias, Lord's prayers etc every day for the sake of the founder.
