The Hammers ⚒ v The Peacocks 🦚 - Sunday 16th January, 🕑
As if Peacocks is a real nickname?
Team likely picks itself. Only question mark is whether Soucek is COVID-recovered.
Noble out for over a month, according to Ex. Outside chance Zouma is in the squad.
Fabianski

Either way it's a loss for us I'm afraid.
Clack.
I prefer not to know them as the whites or the peacocks.
The devils spawn, beelzebub, lucifer or Rees Mogg will do for me.
Or they used to be
Horrible man.
Ooh forgot Alan “spitter “ Clarke.
Am I showing signs of early onset Alzheimer's or wasn't it that bans were for all domestic matches rather than separate for league and cup?
I asked this guy for Leeds best xi, he gave me 12 players as he couldn't decide. 8 of those featured in the cup against us. How many of our best 12 did? 6 (if you don't include Vlasic which he probably isn't yet). So all this whining by Leeds fans for their injuries and they could have had closer to their first team than us last weekend.
I'm trying to make the point that they're not struggling because of injuries, they're struggling because Bielsa refers to adapt his tactics to suit the players he has available and insists on playing the same way every single game.
It is a real test for Bielsa, his team got outplayed in all areas and it's now up to him to change something regarding team or tactics.
