First Pantsil comes out and says how Hodgson treats players with respect at Fulham; now Noble tells us he will play anywhere for West Ham United Football Club under Gianfranco Zola. "When you have got respect for a manager like Zola, you will (play anywhere for him)," he told the club's official website. "He treats you the right way and that is why I am happy to do that."
Now who is Noble comparing Zola with I wonder? Let me see, hmmmm, could it be our caravan towing, brown Volvo driving friend, Mr Lump It And See, Alan Curbishley by any chance? Surely not! Never! Impossible! Mark Noble criticising Alan West Ham Through and Through Curbishley? Perish the thought!

A string of excellent articles followed by......a load of old turds! It's footballer speak; pull the string underneath their shirts and they all come out with the same jargon. The English ones at least, some of the foreigners are more erudite.
I don't think for a minute that it is intended to have any reflection on Alan Curbishley. As I said before it's time to declare SORN on the old Triumph Spitefire and leave it to rust away along with the Brown Volvo!
No way Jose! I continue to rant about a caravan long after it has disappeared from my rear view mirror! Just because you were one of the apologists! If Sheffield United were entitled to keep on about Tevez for so long, I must be owed at least another 12 months of ranting against Turds! Remember, I still haven't forgiven him for walking out on us as a player! And you expect me to relent so soon after his attempt to undermine everything our club has ever stood for? You know me better Marty!
Who really cares ? Curbishley has gone, whether you like him or not, get over it, move on and stop bringing his name up pointlessly.
These stories are very, very lame.
LOL! I bet you do mate, I bet you do!! I expect to hear the throaty exhaust of the Triumphant for some time time yet.
You mean you blame him for your teenage premature ejaculation and the fact that it's been all downhill from there! I have heard that it's his avowed intention to make your life as miserable as possible and he only actually took the manager's job with that in mind!
I knew it, I just knew it! I told the doctor it was that goal he scored as a 17 year old against Newscastle but the quack said it was just a phase all teenage boys went through. Some dreamt of the next door neighbour's wife, my disturbed nights all centred on Curbishley banging it past the Barcodes keeper! And now he is hunting me down, frustrating all attempts at happiness! That's why he bought Downpipe! Suddenly it all makes sense!
The wheels on the bus have fallen off, fallen off, fallen off! The wheels on the bus......
LOL Now who are Jake and Milo?
Maybe if Fitz and Bella came on we'd be able to tempt Hammerette into making an appearance!
Come clean mate, are you doing a Fanno and using alter egos?
Long ball does work, just ask Rafa Benitez. Not being rudce but I've heard this all before, its ancient history for me, time to let it lie now methinks. Denbighammer.

Long ball sure does work sometimes. Bobby Moore was a great exponent. It is a case of everything in moderation though Den. A long ball as a shock weapon is great, the long ball as the stock weapon isn't going to get you anywhere.
I think the weapon that has been of interest this year has been the long throw. With these lighter balls it's possible to get a much lower trajectory, we saw Pederson do it on Saturday. Do you think they should remove the right to run up and throw?
Good call. But then again, why shouldn't Stoke have a way of upsetting the big boys? Might be sensible to change the offside rule though so teams can hold a defensive line at the throw. Until then, why aren't all the teams working on it, training somebody up to chuck it in. One thing is for sure, we will be the last to do it!!!!
Curbishley didn't walk out on West ham as a player. He complained that all of the team were told 'pass it to Brooking'. This complaint was made in a newspaper and West Ham promptly sold him.
Get your facts right Anonymous. We were relegated and, just like Defoe, Curbishley slapped in a transfer request. He objected to playing in the old second division, claiming it was hindering his England chances. He also moaned about a new contract being awarded to Brooking because he wanted to be the midfield kingpin. Lyall was desperate to keep him but Curbishley insisted on going, thinking one of the big teams would come in for him. When he left, for the mighty Birmingham, he bad mouthed Lyall, Brooking, Devonshire and the club, claiming Birmingham were a bigger club than West Ham. It was then that he moaned that "If you play in midfield for West Ham, all you are told to do is pass to Brooking and Devonshire." Exactly how he instructed Noble to pass it to Tevez!
You've got to say well done to Stoke for exploiting Delap's ability, but you were never intended to be able to launch the ball to the back post. It means the potential penalty for giving away a throw in is disproportionate to the offence if you get my drift.
I do get your drift Ironside, having headed the old soaking wet leather ball with laces on it! You couldn't throw that to the edge of the box, never mind to the far post. I pose the question, why aren't more clubs using the tactic? If a lightweight like Pederson can do it, you don't need the Incredible Hulk so exploit the tactic.
I remember when the ball was wet you had to get your feet of the ground when you headed it or you may well get laid out!
Oh course poor Astle died because he headed the old ball too often. Well that and because Moore hit him round the head with a cricket bat for nicking that bracelet in Bogota - allegedly!
