Cheikhou Kouyate is out of this afternoon's clash with Manchester City after failing to recover from a knock against Newcastle.
The Sengal international picked up the injury during Monday night's 2-0 win over the Magpies and despite having trained since, has been ruled out of this afternoon's match at the City of Manchester stadium.

Pedro Obiang, who was benched for Monday night's fixture is set to replace Kouyate - who hasn't flown to Manchester with the rest of the squad - in the centre of midfield alongside new club captain Mark Noble.

" I'll be amazed if we get anything from this. I'll be amazed if we keep a clean sheet. All I hope is that we don't go down by an embarrassing scoreline."

There we are. Surely it can't work for three away fixtures on the trot, but I've got to give it a go.

COYI!!

What confidence we will come away with if we win or draw today.  Beat the team who are unbeaten so far this season and have kept all clean sheets.

Oh my God. This is getting really spooky.....

Leading off MOTD.

Quite a performance today ..... Well played West Ham, all over the pitch, as a team, as goalscorers, as the manager and in particular as defenders.  

Amazing stuff, long may it continue     

What the bint above said




only 28 points to safety

Amazing start,  terrific goal by Moses,  but what a defensive performance in the second half Reid and Adrian were superb,  with both Noble and Obiang doing a great job in front of them.  In fact they were all magnificent! 

Brilliant line in The Telegraph's online report about our second half performance -

" They did not just park the bus. They took out the engine."

What a great day for Hammerdom!!

Seein as how my predictor hijinks worked again, please note I'll be betting against the rest of the year.

It was indeed a great performance. For me the best thing was that in years gone by we would have lost concentration and let in a goal with 5mins to go but not yesterday. Indeed having withstood the City onslaught for most of the half I felt that City, if anything, lost energy in the last 5-10mins as if they knew they would never score. I also love the maturity Payet showed when we did get the ball by trying to retain possession, again in the past our players would simply have hoofed it! We really do look quite a goo d team this year!

"Nine points from the first three away games sound like a dream not a game plan"
