Two weeks that have seemed like a lifetime are about to come to an end with our trip to Selhurst Park for the 5pm Saturday fixture. Perhaps a rest was what the team and the fans needed but the international break has been like the death of a thousand cuts as the media have taken pot-shots at West Ham.
Anyway, onwards and upwards with hopefully a couple of players returning to bolster our under-performing team. Will Cresswell start, will Zaza play up front and will Noble be dropped to make way for Obiang are just a few of the topics discussed in our preview.
On the subject of Zaza I was on the phone to C&H’s Commander in Chief Hughie today and when the subject of Zaza came up he said . . . . . . “Ahhhh, Simone Zaza. So bad they named him twice”. I quite liked that although it does beg the question why our Besiktas loanee is not called Toretoretore.
