6 HRS AGO - This column will be a bit different and rather than writing in chronological order I will mix things up a bit to make it easier for those of you who only care about the West Ham related business (and not much else) and who will appreciate the opportunity to skip all the more personal stuff. So here it goes, West Ham first.

It is rare for me to miss both the West Ham game (watching live on a stream or even in person) AND the Concordia first team game over the same weekend.
Only a very special reason will suffice to keep me away from my two clubs and indeed it was a sad cause that made this a very different, strange and highly emotional weekend for me. I had to, no, I felt the desire and responsibility to attend the church service for my recently deceased Danish godmother Else who passed away last week at the proud old age of 94 years.
I returned home late Saturday evening (more of the personal stuff later) just in time to catch a rerun of our game, albeit only Collapse

1 DAY AGO - After all the talk of fresh starts, this felt worryingly familiar for West Ham. It was another one of those trying afternoons at the London Stadium and on this evidence it is going to be tougher than Manuel Pellegrini must have anticipated to tackle the gloom that tends to fall over this troubled ground in times of adversity.The home fans greeted the final whistle with boos and by the end Pellegrini will have had a better grasp of why he was asked so many questions about the London Stadium’s fear factor before this game. His new side have started the season with two defeats, despite a busy summer in the transfer market, and optimism has already faded. Bournemouth were good value for their second consecutive win after producing a spirited comeback, answering Marko Arnautovic’s penalty with goals from Callum Wilson and Steve Cook.

Pellegrini's Selection Dilemmas: Who Will Start Against Bournemouth?

2 DAYS AGO - Following last week’s incredibly disappointing start to the season we are all wondering how many changes the manager will make to the team for this afternoon’s match against Bournemouth.
Let’s start at the back. Fabianski was man of the match so despite conceding four goals I can’t imagine his place is under threat. You could make an argument for replacing the entire back four but I doubt that will happen. Arthur Masuaku is most under threat with a fit again Aaron Cresswell ready to return. It would be most unfair if Fredericks were dropped on the basis of a highly dodgy Premier League debut, but it’s possible Zabaleta may return to provide defensive stability. In central defence Diop will be pushing for a start, but I have to say I hope Balbuena continues, as he looks to have something and will only get better.
In midfield Declan Rice will be the main casualty. Obiang is the most obvious replacement, but I wonder whether we will swtich to a 4-4-2, with Collapse

5 HRS AGO - Burnley already suffering effects of Europe, the flipside to N’Golo Kanté’s new role and Wolves’s strikers struggling to match team’s midfield talentBrighton upstaged Manchester United, but that they did so without the help of any of their headline summer signings (Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Yves Bissouma and Bernardo, who cost a combined £41m) is proof they are only just getting started. An opening-day defeat by Watford was desperately disappointing but, as poor as United were, Brighton bossed this match from start to finish. Martín Montoya, a deadline-day arrival from Valencia, impressed on his debut but it was the presence of the wily Glenn Murray and the purring Pascal Gross, a £3m buy from Ingolstadt, that again proved pivotal. Better still, Chris Hughton still has a wealth of attacking talent, including the striker Florin Andone, to infuse his team with. This kind of match will not necessarily define Brighton’s season but they naturally foster optimism. Ben Fisher Related: The Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Not exactly the day I had envisaged. I was about to leave the house when I couldn’t find my season tickets. They weren’t in the drawer I assumed they were in. Anyway, I emailed a contact at the club who kindly arranged for two tickets for me to be collected at the ticket office between J and K entrances. So far so good. Heavy traffic at the Blackwall tunnel meant that we arrived very late and took ages to find anywhere to park. So we didn’t get to the ticket office until 2.15. We queued, and we queued and we queued. And then we queued some more. There were five ticket windows. One allocated to Bournemouth fans and the others for people with surnames beginning with A-I, J-R and S-Z. Surprise, surprise that the A-I one was double the length of the others. Who’d have thunk. As three o’clock neared I seriously thought about going home given the queue showed no sign of moving at all. 3.15 came and went. Then 3.30. Only when the Bournemouth queue had finished Collapse
