Faubert Robbed!


Being French, Faubert has probably shrugged it off as inconsequential anyway ("What do zee Engerlish know anyway?") but I have to say that the selection of Diamanti as the man of the match on Saturday was wrong. Yes the Italian was very impressive, showing the virtue of playing a left footer wide on the left of midfield: yes he was gorgeously beautiful on the ball; and yes he teased Fagan into getting sent off; and yes he nearly scored with that delicious free kick in the second minute (won when Faubert was fouled as he skipped past the Hull full back); and yes he sent over that wonderful cross for Behrami's header, which bought a brilliant save from Myhill; and yes he tried that wonderful shot from inside his own half. But did he actually contribute to any of the goals? Answer non.

Faubert, on the other hand, played the pass of the season to set up Cole's goal, fired home a superb effort himself, looked as safe as maisons at the back and, a few overhit passes apart, was impressive all game.

Diamanti, Homme du match? Mon Dieu!

Peppa Pig is a lovable but slightly bossy little pig. She is five years old and lives with Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and her little brother, George.

agree faubert pass of the season.

Kareem said...

I totally agree. Diamanti man of the match against Brum? Sure. However, the 3-0 win at Hull was all about Faubert. He scored, created another, and kept a clean shit. That just says it all!

Bloody hell, 8 year olds do read this blog!

Tres funny Hammersfan, you make me laugh again. "zee Engerlish" Yes, credit where credit is due, you are correct. Diamanti contributed much, as others did. Parker risks life & limb every tackle, but the really noticeable performance was from Faubert. Yes, homme of the match from what i saw too. We fought the French for hundreds of years & the Normans came over & gave old Harold II an arrow in the eyeball, but i got over that a while ago. We lost a lot fellas in two world wars fighting alongside the french so it's nice to see a frenchman giving something back to zee Engerlish.

"zee Engerlish" Yes tres funny Winston soooo tres funny, a frenchman that sounds like a German stop it my sides are splitting. You Kareem & hammersfan bet you'd be a riot together oh not forgetting stani fuuuuuuunni. it's only 8 year olds that do read it hf you're right again or seemingly only 8 year olds

HF? Diamanti "gorgeously beautiful"? I thought I was reading Dale's description of Mark Noble there :)

By the way, he's getting rinsed on his blog by his own cronies for criticising Kovac's Hull performance for no reason. Everyone's disagreeing with him! I say he did it for no reason but there was a reason of course; Mark Noble. Iain will go to the ends of the earth to see him in the team.

Peppa, ahhhh, you remembered meeee! It's a shame though because I don't like swine.

Do not understand how Faubert wasn't Man of the Match personally, his second perfect through ball to Cole of the season was delightful to watch. I enjoyed the banter with Rob Green, good to see he has a sense of humour.

T.I.S said...

Kareem said...

Oh Fanno, most of the mugs on here won't know what argent means ;)

I really hope he stays in and becomes another solid player. -fingers crossed-

Stani, your anti Noble obsession is almost on par with Dales pro obsession. you seem to bring him up in most of your replies lately.

Stani Army said...

Anonymous 06:52,
Bring Dale up or Noble up? Ok, I admit, I really like Iain but his obsession with Noble really gets me jealous. He never gives me enough attention. This is not Noble's fault by the way.

I can't constructively criticise Noble on his site because I'll only get banned. Noble was brought up because he didn't start the last two games and we won both of them. Our first back-to-back. A perfectly reasonable reason to bring him up.

Winston said...

Yes Peppa Pig, i do have the British sense of humour. My family all have the Alf Garnett sense of humour. However, it's Hammerfans blog & he has the license on comedy here. I only ever get to watch the games on the devils eyeball as i live out in the sticks, in the land of plenty, where beer does flow & men chunder. If i get back to the motherland i would find HF. Yes that would be some night i would think. Argent...the Collins dictionary says silver or white metal, something to do with heraldry, other than that, buggered if i know. ManU at 7.00am live Foxsports. I would never predicate a loss, so i hope for a draw. As Hammersfan said previously, beware the wounded lion. Difficult at their place but nothing to lose really. Either win or keep the score down i guess.

Winston said...

Yeah, Dale does go on tad about Noble sometimes, not that i really read there. Look, it may not be the opinion of the management here, but in my opinion Zola is sticking with Kovacs so it's his business. He must be doing that for a reason. Kovacs is very experienced. Remember, 18 months ago some were screaming for Coles head on a platter. Now look. I recall that Ranieri said that Cole was the best young player he ever saw. Ranieri was no fool. 12 months ago, or less, some were calling for Faubert to be shipped back to the French Riviera. Now look. He knew we needed him at RB & he gets better every game. I mean, what do people want? Noble is good player & a Canning Town boy, but he is inconsistent. He can go out in an important game & put in a dog of a game. Kovacs has done nothing special like, but he continues to improve, so it's six of one, half dozen of the other. Sometimes it takes players time, Noble has had plenty of that.

Fanno: Canning town is in the East of London, i.e. near the ground - it's where a lot of the hardcore supports have come over the years, including the ICF. Locals have been known to eat pie, mash and jellied eels - some even venture further afield to eat bagels from Brick Lane bakery (again in the East of Londinium).

Stani Army said...

Winston,
I think your last point is the most important. Got nothing against Noble but he has had a lot of time and his progress has stagnated.

I think if Zola gives Stanislas the opportunities he gave Noble, then Stanislas will be a real hit.

Betfair giving odds of 35/2 on a West Ham win tonight. Time to rob the bookies and recover those lottery losses.

Bless me, I would never have known that 12.44. Canning Town in East London? Are you sure about that? You will be telling me about the old Trebor factory at the bottom of Chester Road next, and about Plashet Park. Any idea where Katherine Road is whilst you are about it or St Mary's Road? Hang on, do you know where Ronan Point was? I have this really weird dream where my Aunt Jean lives in the block of flats in front of it. Strange, in this dream I am staying in her flat the week after the explosion and I can see into people's living rooms up on the higher floors. In this dream my grandparents live in St Mary's Road before their house is compulsory purchased and they are moved into a tower block on Katherine Road. Odd, my Nan is mugged by two West Indians coming out of the Post Office 200yrds away from the flat and my grandfather witnesses it from the balcony of his flat (where he had a potted sunflower and a goldfish bowl); my Nan leaves hospital but never really recovers and dies six months later. And in this dream I live in Chester Road and get a bag of reject sweets from the Trebor factory every Friday from a neighbour. And I go and see the guinea pigs, rabbits and peacocks in Plashet Park. Bloody hell, that dream is so vivid it is almost as if I lived it! Amazing! Canning Town in East London, bloody amazing!
