I would imagine that the club will parade him before the game though.
;ok

Wont be my fault.

Bilic is the manager, no-one else - the one who has "been there and done it in the major leagues" - this has now become a topic of conversation amongst fans which it really shouldn't have been.
;hmm
West Ham United Academy manager Terry Westley confirmed that new manager Slaven Bilic will take the Hammers pre-match team talk ahead of the Europa League tie with FC Lusitans on Thursday evening.
Westley has been working closely with the matchday squad which comprises a mixture of first team regulars and Development Squad Academy graduates such as Lewis Page and Reece Oxford.
In Wednesday’s pre-match press conference, Westley explained: “The team is all set up. We did all our work in Cork with the manager. With Diafra Sakho and Mauro Zarate up front and Morgan Amalfitano and Matt Jarvis on the wings, we pretty much have four forwards. It gives some indication to our attacking intent.
“We don’t need a huge team talk before the game because the work has been done. The players are ready. We’ll have to get here a bit earlier due to the huge number of people that are coming. We’ll have a pre-match meeting with the manager then the players will do the job.”
;ok
It's like they can't find anything to be miffed off about so they are making stuff up*.
*see tonight's match thread re showing the game for free on the ofish...
*wispers
Twist I don't understand the joke ;puzzled
Help.
(I'm talking about the Slav not being in the dugout bit, and assume you were referring to that too)
;hmm

It is the place of every fan to call out those who get miffed over the trivia.
All IMHO of course.
But I could be wrong.
But I doubt it.
;fence
I view it as post which creates confrontation and I thought that sort of thing was discouraged on this site.
I'm sure if someone like Twist had posted something like that he'd have been jumped over immediately.
I'll leave it in the hands of any of the other mods who might be online now that I have made my point.
There are two separate issues.
We are asking everyone to be careful about how they 'talk' to other users, but we have a different standard for issues outside the board.
So, calling someone on here a 'muppet' (by name or implication) would not be OK, but calling someone on Twitter or another forum the same would be fine.
It doesn't seem to me that what Suze has said is a specific dig at anyone here on the forum. If someone feels that it is, they are free to say, and I'm sure Suze would be happy to clarify.
;ok
I personally think that putting the word "supporters" in italics was not called for. And then saying people not being able
to find stuff to get miffed about, etc??
All very OTT when something along the lines of "cannot see what all the fuss is about" would have delivered the same message without the barbed side comments..
