The curse of the Ramble strikes again! There we were, chatting away about whether West Ham should stick with Nuno Espírito Santo or bin him off after relegation, and then bang! He's staying. The grotmeister general has made his choice, but is it the right one?
Marcus, Luke, Pete and Vish are here to react to that bombshell news. Plus, Portland Timbers give Fizzer the mutually consented chop and Palace have a date with destiny. Who better to send them on their merry way than Roy 'the boy' Hodgson. Talons crossed they can bring home the big one tonight.
