Alright, lads,

I'm Alf's from West Ham Online.

Before each game, we run an article called 'Views from the Opposition' where we invite a fan or two to answer questions about your club, your perceptions of our club, and of course, the game on Monday.

There will also be some humourous questions which is just a bit of banter and should be taken as such. Feel free to give some back.

I'm looking for one, maybe two volunteers. It won't take up more than 15 - 20 minutes of your time.

Cheers,

Alfs

For example when asked the question "what comes to mind when i think of West Ham".

My answer is Green Street.

Are you up for it, 1964. If that's your birth year you'll fit in well. We're all grumpy old men scarred through following West Ham for 50 years!

I'm unsure how this works, hope it's not a zoom session. I'm under the impression I just log-on to the West Ham Online site & we communicate with each other as we are doing on here now.

I’ve got little confidence that we’ll get a result.

We are absolutely good enough, but a general reluctance to pick players in their actual positions has been our undoing on several occasions this season, a pattern I see continuing.

A midfield trio of Struijk, Klich and Roberts wouldn’t be all that cracking in the championship.

Why Bielsa persists with Struijk (in midfield) and Roberts as a pro footballer is a puzzle to me.

The weakest part of our team especially without Phillips.

Hopefully Rodrigo plays a part, no doubt we'll need to use him or give Pablo his obligatory fifteen minutes.

Looking at the calibre of question, it's not that in depth.
