To my mind it's ME who drives all the controversial decisions like ticket prices, contract details etc and then he watches someone else take all the flack. Simon Clegg - Marcus Evans' best decision yet

hucks216 added 11:48 - May 29 Have to be honest I couldn't be more underwhelmed if I tried. I used to look forward to the 'main' pre-season home fixture as it was a chance to see something a bit different, a club from the European mainland with sometimes a few stars in their line-up that we wouldn't usually get to see but now we just resort to playing a club we have only just been playing in the same division a few months before.

JimmyJazz added 12:19 - May 29 It probably was a decision between playing West Ham's first team with plenty of away support or playing Lazio's B team or U-21 team with no away support. Anyone see the swaying factor?
