Yeah. Noble and Parker in the middle. Collison/Dyer on the left. Behrami on the right. Jiminez in the hole with Cole the lone striker.

good preview… though I don’t agree that Noble will be left out of the midfield. He’s there engine in the middle.

I remember Blkburn away for your lot the following week. Controversial goal by Tevez if I remember. That was the catalyst

@ Defoe – I thought that was the end of the relegation fight. Thank God for Tevez. The settlement with Sheffield United was a small price to pay.

I did enjoy the review on IMDB:

@ NY Kid – Shhhhhhh!

The espn.com poll question right now is Can the U.S. win the 2010 World Cup. Wow. Seriously?

Everyone is aware that there is a Green Street Hooligans 2, yes?

No, LB, you weren’t. It kills me that every time I tell someone I’m a West Ham fan, they bring up the hobbit and that f**king movie.

Nice preview NY Kid. Right on, though I think I’m more optimistic on our defense– I like Spector, and I think it’ll be a definite improvement over last year, especially if Upson sticks around. On the other end, Cole looked good last year, but I have absolutely no faith in Ashton’s ability to stay healthy. Losing Boa Morte hurts, but the midfield is the one area we have some depth, and I think we’ll be ok there.

I’m hoping for a trip to Europe, but I’m guessing eighth or ninth place is more accurate.

8th I’d take. Worried it is going to be more like 17th. Ashton will be injured. Savio is too young or not good enough. Carlton Cole is the only striker on the books that will play and I don’t trust him. Hopefully one or two more signings in the next 21 days.
