Bad news. C.Kouyate will be out for 6 weeks. He will probably miss 5 games and might be available for Aston Villa at home 8 nov. dg

That's a kick in the happy sacks

Just heard this news, FFS, he's been mustard for us, and the worse thing is, it's the perfect excuse for Hippo Head to get his love child Nolan back in the side as soon as he can
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Then when he's fit we'll have to get Nolan out to make room for him, that'll be easier said than done. Bollix and double bollix. Our normal run of luck seems to be kicking in for the season.

Goddamnit! So should Sam have taken him off when he was lying there and screaming ?

at 'only' 2-1 to the good with Liverpool in the ascendancy... going down to ten men (cos we'd used our subs) might have cost an awesome performance and victory but giving them the chance to equalize.

Given everything, the Gaffer and Kayoute did the only thing they could have in the circumstances.

as shitty is this is....

we have song

we have amalfatinonionooinooono

we don't even need Nolan, and we still have him for cover.

we'll be okay.

It's ok. We can bring Diame into central midfield...............oh, wait a minute............

Will Morrisons imminent loan to Cardiff now be put on hold?

I doubt it. Sam don't like the kid and even if he did; Sam uses Ravel as a deep midfielder (that's Ravel Morrison, the talented attacking midfielder) and for some reason (despite having Song and Kouyate (when fit) plays Noble in the holding role.

Morrison's out I reckon; neither use nor ornament

One good thing is Nolan will need to up his game; he'll get goals too and could well be coming off the bench regularly.

All this "up" hype is a bit premature and I am quite surprised at the euphoria expressed. We definitely have a bit more quality, certainly more pace but we do have a weak defence. Better teams will catch us out on that. 2 wins, one` draw and 3 defeats is not time to get excited about. Yes the futures bright right now, but it ain't orange-it's claret & blue and1 that's never anything than a roller-cooaster.

Also can't see ravel in a West Ham shirt again


also this is the latest on his loan


The Hammers youngster has had plenty of off field issues in recent months, as well as undergoing groin surgery, so his playing time at Upton Park has been limited.

Sam Allardyce has built a large squad in the East End this summer and so the likes of Morrison, Diego Poyet and Ricardo Vaz Te may not see too much first team football.

Allardyce told us last week that he was planning to allow some young guns to leave on loan and he has been true to his word as Cardiff City get themselves a talented midfielder for 90 days.

However, Morrison’s attitude has been questioned and he delivered a parting shot at the Hammers via Twitter.

“I’ve got 0% ratings at West Ham,” @morrisonravel wrote.

“Happy to get a 3 month loan @CardiffCityFC time to start playing some football again.”

“I got no ratings off people in the club not the Club it’s self just people in it.”
