Luis Boa-Morte Unfairly Criticised.


I have heard it all now. Poor Luis. Not only was he the target of the Upton Park boo boys, it appears that the people of Portugal do not appreciate his talents either.

Luis has complained: "In Portugal, a lot of heed is given to what the critics and what people say. There are people involved in football for over 20 years, be they journalists or commentators, who don't think things through. They always say the same thing. They are used to seeing the likes of Nani and Simao in the side, and they don't respect others. I think they don't respect me or my work."

Outrageous! He continued: “It doesn't matter if you are experienced, if you have played many years in the same championship, if you often win, if you have a good season. They find it strange to see you in the line-up and there is criticism."

Criticism of Boa? How? He added: "There is no jealousy in the national team. Regardless of who plays, the atmosphere is always very good. I went 2 years and 9 months without being called up, but does that make me a stranger?"

Two years and nine months? Isn't that just about how long it has been since he scored? He concluded: “I have played many games for my country, but there are many people who do not want to see that."

How can those "many people" not want to see Luis Boa-Morte in the national side? Do they not appreciate the virtue of commitment? Do they not understand that the game isn't all about silky passing, shooting on target and tackling without giving away free kicks? Idiots!

Poor Luis and poor Faubert. Isn't it about time the fans and critics shut up and accepted that these guys are actually much better than they ever appear to be when on the pitch? Luis and Julian understand the game on a higher plain, they see the game differently. Each has a talking mirror that is programmed to respond appropriately to the morning challenge, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most brilliantest of them all?" No wonder they are both bemused by all the misinformed criticism!

I actually like ur blogs and read them quite often, but i don't understand why ur taking the piss out of boa morte. I think he makes a valid point regarding European papers, journalism etc... i think boa has had enough bad press and constant ridicule. I quite like the guy and believe him to be a great professional. I'm happy hes staying with us and believe he adds something to the team i have never got on the back of any west ham player and wish others wouldn't either. it really doesn't accomplish anything. and I'm very excited about the current direction the club is taking.

Is there anything absolutely anything or anyone at the club of West Ham you actually like? The side that you profess to be a fan of, is there just one little thing? Or is that all that matters childish wind-ups of your own fans & those of other clubs and the ensuing battles with children, or childish arguments more to the point, is that all that this blog is about? Have you actually researched any other adult blogs to see how real adults do this or is this how you get your enjoyment? sad

I'm sorry but please don't lump LBM in with Faubert.

I'm going to gladly watch you eat your words about LBM next season. Remember that.
