You know what?

I would forgive martinez this season and have us lose every game this season from this point on if we went out and injured payet tomorrow! The fume about it from west ham would be amazing, payet would be terrified of playing against us as well! haha

Have an admirer off twitter mate haha

I don't want to hurt payet. Just a good hard tackle in the 2nd minute. Rile up the cockneys and get goodison nice and spicy.

[WarringtonBlue]

Just reread this and completely lost it at the Adrian comparison

An excellent and enjoyable read Mr Azul.
The Booker prize cannot be far off if this is the standard you maintain.

 

[ilikecheese]

Destroy Payet.

Cry arses the lot of them.

Meanwhile - My post about it being an obvious wind up and asking Hammers fans to chill hasn't been picked up by that Twitter. Strange

He blatantly got the ball ref

I really really really (infinity on really, really) want to win this game. I'm travelling from Essex via West Ruislip taking a car load, 3 x blues, 2 x Irons. My son hates losing to the point of violence and one of the Hammers boys is a g0bsh1te extraordinaire, which could make for an interesting journey back.

The lack of experienced centre halves for them should help but we just need to go at them with intensity (bl00dy sound like RM) and purpose and we can win.

Come on Everton, please.

Looks like he got both of them actually!

Plenty of popcorning opportunity when playing West Ham nowadays

Everton's Leighton Baines is due to see a specialist about pain in his ankle but he is available to face West Ham. Bryan Oviedo and Tom Cleverley are doubts because of injury and illness respectively, while Muhamed Besic and Darron Gibson could return.

We can choose from Galloway, Mirallas and Deulofeu too.

West Ham's James Collins is likely to miss the next three matches because of a hamstring problem. Fellow defenders Winston Reid, James Tomkins, Joey O'Brien and Sam Byram are also unavailable.

West Ham will have to draft in players for the defence. A back three could be Ogbonna, Kouyate and Oxford, with Cresswell and Antonio as wing backs. That would be quite inexperienced - and would weaken their midfield too.

Tbh when the oppositions defence is that weakened they often seem to play a blinder against us, Everton that!

Hopefully their tough game vs Spurs has tired them out though and we've woken up from our Villa game as we'll need to be sharper than that against their on form attackers.

 

[TrixyStevens]

We will do these 1-1.

I want Coleman to take out Byram (is he even first time? lol) too, for obvious reasons.

Bryam already suspended mate due to an accumulation of cards - obviously mostly under his former club as West Ham players are gentle souls who never make a mistimed tackle....
