Eight nil to the little club on the south coast total football total support total values no doubt you will all want our players
Pah all you glory hunters . I'm quietly happy being top of the league, even if it is the old 3rd division . Makes a nice change after recent years.
Liverpool have complained to the FA that the nets at QPR where under size and that's the reason old Mario yet again missed a sitter Brennan Rodgers has insisted that Super Mario nets are to be used at the next match .
I rather have our Italian pelle and he taken his place in the national side and scored on his debut Real Madrid 4 Liverpool 1 lambert to score!
Ha - like all spurs fans, beating west ham is far less important for us.... bit like an fa cup 1st round that fixture, highlight of your season and a DVD opportunity if you manage a win Great summary though and can't say I'd disagree with any of your waffling lol
Ahhh normal service resumed the boyz from the Lane have found their voices............try not to rick your neck looking up the table now lads
Ha.... As you rightly state, 20% in boyo.... You got plenty time (like west ham always do) to fcuk it up and get ya self into a relegation battle!
I think Jimbo was referring to this magnificent production, saved in full technicolour. I sent my spare copy to one of my Hotspud friends for his Christmas present, see even us Hammers get into the sprit of Christmas
He came to City full of Flair and promise and did deliver fairly regularly initially. Then it all started going down hill and he was fecked off back to Italy. Things haven't improved since it seems.
Word on the street, is that Liverpool put a no firework clause in his contract, and he is still sulking.
So what have we learnt this week footie fans? Not much change at he top, Chelski scraped over the line, but did not look quite as menacing with Señor Costa on the sidelines but did a decent demolition job on a very poor Miribor. Still PL Champions in the making. Citeh, thanks to Big Fat Franks jelly like legs, which to be fair to BFF, it looked like a dive, but he was just exhausted from having to run 20 yards and his legs gave way, eased past the Hotspuds, then turned up in Russia and got sussed out, sorry Pelligrini, trying to blame the weather being too cold is nearly as bad as the disgraceful act by Mario 16 million reasons why to be disgusted Balotelli last night. PL runners up. TBF Liverpool were always going to struggle to hold the juggernaught that is Real Madrid, but how they can play Balotelli again in a red shirt is beyond me....the guy ain't interested, and he disrespected the shirt, he is picking up a pay cheque and that's it...play him in the reserves until the January transfer window and dump him, something big time bad must be going on between Rodgers and Lambert for him not to get a kick last night, how he takes Super Mario off and plays Sterling through the middle is a mystery. Stevie G is looking a shadow of his former self playing roughly alongside Mignolet, not sure where this team is heading.....mid table PL team at present. Gooners....same old, same old....pretty triangles...still searching for their own Señor Costa......PL top 4......Champs League..making up the numbers until they get crushed by the European powerhouses, still at least those early round CL games are free for the dearest season tickets in the PL. Hotspuds....this team looks like its gelling, can't run with the top 2 but still see a battle with their North London neighbours for 3/4 PL finish at present. Manks......got out of jail against the Baggies.....anyone else notice how LvG turns to his left and chats to his trusted Lieutenants, and poor old Giggsy just sits on his right looking lost, still at least he looks a bit more at the races since he started manicuring his eyebrows. Southampton...what a good news story....the vultures circled, had their fill, their so called stars took the bait, which TBF to them its a short career and there's no such thing as loyalty, Koeman turns up, looks at whats left and plans to play the cleaner at sweeper as he is so short..............feck me they look a better team than last year under the Pooch........maybe the Hotspuds will have a new manager on their radar in a couple of years of they want to challenge the top 2. Ships all steady at the bottom, Harrys twitch is developing nicely to the point that he reckons Taarabt is 3 stone overweight, to his defence Taarabt airbrushed his head onto a photo of Bales body and claimed it was all rubbish, and that he just don't like the food they pump out at the training ground. Relegation fodder. The Toon got 3 desperate points.......how long will Pardew last? 50/50 who goes first, Pardew or Balotelli Burnley, lost out in the battle of the Claret and Blues....its gonna be a long cold winter in Lancashire at this rate...just cannot see anything other than relegation come May. Sunderland...........lets not add to the misery...they have just renamed it Stadium of Darkness after the abomination of total self sacrifice. And the rest? Steady as they go....well as usual they will be fighting to not fall into the relegation dogfight and end up in a nice safe mid table finish so they can sit back at the top table again next season and play with the gravy train, whilst their employees on the playing side and their employees agents get fatter and fatter by the day. Rather comforting that something in life is as predictable as the mid table finish and the gravy train always stops just where you want it.
Gameday 9 is in the record books, so where are we just on a quarter of the way through the 2014-15 PL season? Well who would expect to see filing the CL positions a Southampton team that started the season with a new manager and no players, and a West Ham team managed by Hoof Ball Big Fat Sam. The Manks starting even worse under LvG than Moysee and The Pool proving that they were just a 1 man team. Saturday was the match up between the Mentor and the Apprentice, with the Special One expected to take all 3 points, if nothing else, Mourinho now knows that famous Fergie overcoat, you know, the one with as many pockets as there are referees on the PL refs list is alive and well in LvGs wardrobe. Thought you had seen the last of Fergie time Jose? Think again matey, referees have applied it for 20+ years, its passed down from generation to generation of wannabe PL refs, it's in their DNA. Yet again, Chelski controlled a match, and despite their ability to create chances they are still a 1 man wrecking ball with Señor Costa, but rather impotent without him. 2 points dropped IMO. Gooners....same old, same old....pretty triangles...still searching for their own Señor Costa......PL top 4, only managed to put 2 past a shell shocked Black Cats in the Stadium of Darkness, but that was enough to take all 3 points and keep them dreaming of making up the CL numbers again next season. Well after 2 weeks of bigging up the Hotspuds, it all came crashing down at The Lane, Pardews resurgent Toon Army chalking up back to back wins and making it 6 points from 6 after only taking 4 from a possible 21 previously. The Pooch is now questioning his expensive charges mental fortitude.....come on Pooch, even us mere mortals don't like getting up for work on a Sunday morning, it must be a fecking ballache when you are on a 100K+ a week to have to do it. Trending downwards for the Spuds, mid table mediocrity at this rate. Need to arrest this slide quickly. Citeh.....well against a team, where just handing in the team sheet normally guarantees 3 points, they meet their match with Big Fat Sams new style of footie, yes we are wearing out the grass at the Boleyn ground nowadays with his new style of less hoof ball, but as they only have a season and a bit to play there, the groundsman is not too fussed. In fact Citehs desperation to get on level pegging meant they upped their long ball game to a seasons high 62....must be something in the air at Upton Pk. 25% above their average for a game. Both teams had their chances to take all 3, thoroughly entertaining end to end game. But BFS, the boo boys are just holding their breath, if you turn back to your Long Haired Lover from Liverpool (via Newcastle) style of play, we will hound you I promise. It must have been enthralling to watch, not a single chorus was heard of 'We hate Millwall' for the first time in living memory. Just one sour note to report, the Hammers MoM Alex Song, top performance matey, looked more like Yaya then Yaya on the day, but for fecks sake mate, its East London and was 18C, what's with the gloves?. Put them away, the only people down the Barking Rd who wear gloves are bank robbers. Man up or expect more abuse from the faithful. The Swans arrested the slide and had their first win since week 3, which puts them in 6th, just shows what early days we are at still. The bottom, well apart from the Toon pulling away from the relegation magnet, the Rs finally put together 3 points last night against a Villa team that just looks clueless, with a manager that looks equally clueless and are sliding towards the drop zone. Rangers have Chelski and Citeh up next, then the Toon and Leicester, just how valuable were those 3 points?, and maybe only 3 more out of the next 12................relegation fodder and a bigger tick for 'Arry. So the only hot spot in Lancashire is the Hotpot, Burnley painfully sliding back towards the Championship along with QPR, Leicester flirting with it.......the gulf between Championship and just an average Prem team gets bigger every season. And the rest? Steady as they go....well as usual they will be fighting to not fall into the relegation dogfight and end up in a nice safe mid table finish so they can sit back at the top table again next season and play with the gravy train, whilst their employees on the playing side and their employees agents get fatter and fatter by the day. PS Thought for the day: Sir Alex's autobiography...a quote "I hope that before I die, someone can explain the 'West Ham way'. What is it? They last won a trophy in 1980, the FA Cup. Well old sourpuss how about this one 'Theatre of dreams' Rather like the so called 'West Ham way', it had a relevance once, but like most things in life it's only temporary, so Sir Alex, it is a simple case of that old adage Glasshouses and Stones, you know the one.
^^^ fabulous! "Thats all from our roving football correspondent, back to Ken and Giv in the studio..."
Not a lot of point Gilesy......West Ham and reading ability...thats why the programme is all pictures
