I still watch it but I don't really regard it as a sport anymore. I view it as a spectacle.

I appreciate that West Ham get big crowds these days, a lot of whom I believe are heavily subsidised, but I do have a problem acknowledging a club as being 'big' if they have never won their domestic league in the whole of their history.

Maybe he needs something a bit tougher than the SPL at the moment, but not as tough as the Premier League. Also he is very much in the spotlight at Rangers, whereas if he joined a Championship club he might be able to go more under the radar and be allowed to just get on with playing football.

I quite fancied us before I heard Cunha was out. Difficult to see how we are going to score without him.

Must admit that I am sick to death of reading about him. Surely a Championship club would be prepared to take a punt on him next season. Give him a full season in the Championship and let him sink or swim. A real make or break season. If he flops badly, we just have to cut our losses. You never...

That's the name of the game now for a club like us, and along with VAR and FFP is the reason I am rapidly losing interest in football.

Presumably we could keep loaning him out in the hope that he will hit a purple patch somewhere and increase his value or until his contract runs out whenever that is and he can leave for free.

The whole thing is so complicated at the moment, but I read that the new rule changes due to be introduced will effectively let Man City off the hook, and probably Chelsea too. The whole thing seems utterly corrupt to me.

My one wish at the beginning of each season is that we don't get relegated, so I am happy that we have managed to achieve that. That really is the extent of my ambitions for us these days due to the financial landscape football finds itself in. If we ever managed to win a cup, obviously that...

Well I must say this is quite entertaining despite VAR

Have Man City?

Whatever match you watch VAR is totally destroying the game.

Not as disappointed as I normally am when we lose as I genuinely did not feel that we would get anything from this game. Think we are really going to struggle until we get some of the first choice forwards back. Difficult to see where the goals are going to come from against Burnley.

Is he worth considering as a false number 9 given our desperate situation up front. He has scored a few in his career, including some quite cool finishes

Bloody jammy goal.
