I would say their squad is better than ours. Thought they would come good sooner or later! West Ham's squad is light years ahead of ours, if we are trying to find 3 teams we have a chance of finishing above we can forget West Ham.

Shaq. A joint team I imagine would look: Butland Zabaleta Zouma Shawcross Pieters Allen Noble/Fletcher (much of a muchness) Shaqiri Lanzini Arnie Hernandez So 6 Stoke players without Fletcher. 5 for West Ham. Very similar sides, we are better at the back, they're better up top. What we need is another creative Shaq-esque player (hopefully Jese after his promising performance at the weekend), a right back and a far stronger central midfield. When was the last time stoke came from behind to win a game? I don't think that has anything to do with whether our squads are similar or not to be honest. ???

Can you imagine our group of players doing that do tottenham? We have a collection of one-paced plodders which is why when we go 1-0 down, normally it is game over. Bilic wouldn't want any of our players except Shawcross, Zouma and Butland

Bilic wouldn't want any of our players except Shawcross, Zouma and Butland Bilic would want a lot of our players I should think. Namely the three you mentioned, plus Indi, Shaqiri, Allen, Jese at the very least. We have a team that for whatever reason, isn't gelling at the minute. But our squad on paper is at least at West Ham's level. Yes I can imagine our players doing that, we forced Man United right to the hilt and more than matched them for 90 minutes. We beat Arsenal. Our players are at a good mid-table level, the overall balance of the squad is where we struggle. Let's not forget just how shite West Ham are doing here, they've just lost 3-0 to Brighton at home. They're playing awful football, just like us. From their team, i'd take Arnie, Hernandez, Lanzini and one of their midfielders, that's it. The only others close are Antonio and Carroll. Arnie over Antonio and Carroll is never fit.

I would say their squad is better than ours. Thought they would come good sooner or later! Winning at Spurs in the cup, with their amazing record at Wembley, is coming good? I still think we'll finish above West Ham this season. I'd take Cresswell, Hernandez and maybe Zabaleta as possible first-team starters here. I like Antonio and Lanzini. Carroll if he wasn't so injury prone.

They have a really decent from 5 to choose from , said all along they are a team that will be fine , Antonio , Arnie , henandez, ayew, Carrol , would all walk into our team . Ayew and Antonio wouldn't. Carroll would if fit but he never is. Arnie and Hernandez are in. We have very very similar level of team to them. Antonio wouldn't get in our team? 😂

Possibly ahead of Choupo or Jese, although I think they're all similar level. Anyone could get in at right wing back, waste of his talent though for me, not ahead of pieters.

Got to be happy with that - but it was a cup game against our nearest and dearest at Wembley FFS - our "Cup Final" as they've been gloating all week. Well shuv that up yer Pottechino For the record my 1st 11 - Adrian, Zabaletta, Reid, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Obiang, Fernandes, Lanzini, Antonio, Sakho, Hernandez - 4-2-3-1

So, I can only conclude that this 'meeting' between themselves has wakened them up following last night result, because a loss against Palace would be the last straw for the Dildo's and send Bilic to the food bank outside Tesco's. Our lot need to take a good hard look at themselves because in a few weeks they my be under a new management regime and there will be a few bollockings flying around. Its up to you boys.

If our lot did have a meeting half wouldn’t turn up and those that did wouldn’t contribute much as per Saturday! I heard that MH did organise a meeting but told some players one time and venue and the rest a different time and venue, then he changed his mind and told them summat else. in the end it was cancelled as he couldn't decide which venue, or time, he preferred why have our so called fans turned into back stabbing bastards???

Massive game at Palace for them at the weekend It would be handy for them to beat Palace and keep them down the bottom. That only leaves 2 x places to avoid and I'm predicting Swansea plus one other. That other will be between West Ham, potentially us, Bournemouth and a couple if teams to fall away that haven't yet,
