As you may be aware the mighty Hammers are coming back to the US for a summer series of games with Everton, Man Utd and Bournemouth in New Jersey, Atlanta and my adopted home town of Chicago.

We have tickets for the Everton game at Soldier field Chicago on July 30th.

I think it is going to be a fun day, the local supporters club, Chicago Hammers, have arranged a couple of officially sponsored fan events, one of which includes a boat ride on the Chicago River including pizza, a drinks package, a DJ, a Q&A with Anton Ferdinand ending up with a coach ride to the stadium for the game, you just know that everyone with be suitably lubricated, decked out and will be singing bubbles etc.

Details are on the OS if anyone is interested

I have a couple of mates flying over for it and I for one, am really looking forward to it

    We're training in Donaueschingen, Germany ahead of Saturday's friendly against Grasshopper Club Zurich who avoided relegation from the Swiss Super League by winning the playoff against 2nd tier Aarau (and no, I don't know how you pronounce that either)

    The match is at their training ground rather than their home ground (Letzigrund) which they share with Super League rivals FC Zurich. Despite sharing a ground they don't get on, 2011 derby was abandoned when FC fans rioted after Grasshopper fans nicked their banners

    Donaueschingen is about 65 miles east of Freiburg

    Yeah, they've cancelled my first train so I'm sat at work bored until 2:45pm

    Grasshopper appointed a new manager last month, their 21st since Roy Hodgson left in June 2000 (not including interim and caretaker managers)

    I'm spare today, don't get on a train until 11am. Bored

    Shame you start driving at 11am, that's when the Lions v Australia starts in the egg chasing.

    Irving opens the scoring, after good work by Bowen.

    You thought? I thoroughly enjoyed it.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Rodriguez in the book, finding the pace of even a pre-season friendly too much.
  • stevesteve
    Read somewhere that George earthy has ligerment injure .Anyone else heard that .Not in either 11 today so guess it could be true
  • LukerzLukerz
    Looked like maybe a 3 at back

    Todibo - Kilman - Scarles

    With AWB & Cornet as wing-backs.

    Second half is apparently

    Casey - Mavropanos - Aguerd

    With Guilherme & Diouf as wing-backs
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Marshall doubles the lead early in the second half with a decent finish.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Very confident goal
  • LukerzLukerz
    Diouf already looking a threat

    Obviously against weak opposition, but yeah, has really looked an attacking threat in the first 15 minutes; hasn't really been tested defensively yet.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Grasshoppers get one back.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    3-1 Paqueta from the spot.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    3-1 FT

    It generally is.All that build up and it’s the same old thing, stop, start, stop,start- penalty.
    I think unless you really know the game, as entertainment it’s way down the totem pole.
