    Main section of hammers fans but we're scattered all over the ground too.

    Goal by Reid, just at the wrong end ;doh
  • KingHammerAbroadKingHammerAbroad
    Reid makes up for it by stealing the ball in midfiel, playing a nice 1-2 and curled it into the bottom right corner.
  • KingHammerAbroadKingHammerAbroad
    Carroll makes it 2-1, nice low cross from Feghouli, Carroll got in front of defender and slotted it in the bottom left corner.

    2-1 at half time.

    Storm moved, game suspension at 62 minutes... fun fact, today was the highest attendance for the Railhawks... well done ;clap

    Finished 2-2.

    Slightly worried Nordveit was not involved.

    Crocked already?

    And then a ;hmm that they have back-to back games on the 19th and 20th.

    Are we splitting into 2 teams again. Dont we have a qualifier. Pre season games in England and a Juventus bout within 2 weeks then not long after the PL season starts.

    Doniel Henry got injured with about 10 minutes to go, he was going up for a header with two other players and came down hard on his right leg, after a long delay he was helped off but couldn't put any weight on it.

    Thanks Mrs Grey, it will certainly be a trip my son won't forget. We had a great time, good banter between both sets of fans, good atmosphere. In typical murican style they did a flyover pregame and fireworks after ;lol

    Just been looking at the Europa League, the good news is that Astra Giurgiu won the Romanian League and gets Champions League so there's no chance of us going out to them this year. Our Maltese friends Birkirkara have drawn Hearts in the 2nd round and Lusitanos went out to Slovenian side Domzale.

    Looking forward to the draw Friday

    Thanks for the updates KHA ;thumbsup

    Feghouli seems to be settling nicely also

    Seems very sharp already and got himself a nice assist

    And big Andy got a goal which is good to see
    Finished the season strongly with a good run of games and has looked strong in pre-season, probably the first pre season he's had for years so here's hoping he can stay fit as he is an asset

    No entirely true. They're in the qualifying round. If they lose that, they would go into the Europa playoff round, so we could still face them.

    What a great PK.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Would be great if Andy hits a goal-scoring pre-season run of form, all the while we're searching for this £30m striker.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Lukerz

    Slav has made it clear he is happy with our current striking options, and will only sign a player if he is a step up on what we have.

    If Andy has a relatively injury free run, I'd back him to be a 15+ goal player.

    "If"being the operative word there Grey.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    If Payet isn't sold. If Payet isn't injured. If Cresswell stays fit etc.etc.

    Why is the only if around Carroll?
  • Colchester_IronColchester_Iron
    Hasn't Creswell played every game since he arrived whilst Carroll has missed fumfty?

    There is a haphazard logic there.
