West Ham - A View From The Other Side

[Trusty Steed]

Had a little look around couple of West Ham forums, nothing too exciting. Seem more concerned about their game against Millwall this Saturday.......


"A chance to use our youth , Millwall next week we will need our strongest 11 .
Im sure Fulham will play a second string team also."

"I really don't care about the carabo cup ..
I care about smashing Millwall!"

"Under normal circumstances it would be to go full strength, but let's f**king smash Millwall by resting some players vs Fulham."

"Considering the magnitude of next Saturday, I just don't care about this in terms of playing a strong side. I think Fulham will be looking over their shoulder this year so can see a 2nd side also put out by them. If we win, brilliant. If we don't, oh well."

"A statement win against a PL side could do wonders to our confidence and be a massive statement to the rest of the league"

"Whatever team we put out, remember, Fulham's won't be any great shakes, either and I doubt they're really bothered about this game much"

"With Fulham currently all over the place in the league I suspect thay plan to heavily squad rotate"

"In my opinion, we should start the best team available. Fulham are a Premier team and deserve respect."

"Forget about Millwall and play the next game with a decent team. A full strength side against Fulham who have been struggling so far can see us through to the next round."

"We can take care of Millwall after we have dispatched Fulham."

"Fulham will not field a strong team which is a pity as on the one hand it could be an acid test on how good we really are but on the other, it's a chance to progress."

"I genuinely despise Arbeloa so it would be very nice to get the win."

"Both sides will make loads of changes. TBH we've been making changes in every game but this will eight or nine not two or three."

"I expect Fulham will win but hoping for some entertaining football."

"Pick your starting XI for Millwall, and then rest as many of them as you can for this game.
I'd fancy us in this even with a changed XI. Fulham don't look great so far this season."

"I watched nearly all of the 90 minutes at Anfield on Saturday. I was impressed with Fulham, thought they looked a better all round team than Liverpool."

"Fulham are in the bottom 3, we're top (are we still?) and have just won 6-0. We should play our strongest team, roll them over and then move on to Millwall full of confidence cos we just beat a PL team."

Why on earth would a West Ham fan have a reason to despise Arbeloa?

Also; cheers for this TS!

Said on their site that he played four games for them in 2016/17 at the end of his playing days, so an unsuccessful loan presumably?

Ah, I didn't realise that.  He must have been bad then.

I'm more surprised he's using the word 'despised'

Maybe he's also a Barcelona fan. Arbeloa infamously stomped on David Villa during the Copa de Rey final in 2011.

Probably because he didn't think much of him in his 3 appearances for the 'Ammers.....

....or it might be a Liverpool thing?
Maybe they didn't like a tackle put in on a Wet player?... who knows?
They are often full of hate... 😅
