What the Hell is going on with the Argentina national team? I was fortunate enough last night to witness one of the greatest footballing displays ever seen on a football pitch (sadly only on television with the worst camera work I have ever seen too. How many times did the cameraman cut off the guy in possession of the ball?) Messi wasn't just brilliant, he was truly awesome. I can remember Maradona, Cruyff and Pele and, on the evidence of last night, Messi belongs in that exalted company. I know he was up against a poor Arsenal defence, but there's no taking away from that performance; the guy, at just 22, is a complete genius.
So what the Hell is going on with the Argentina national team? Why, with Messi and Tevez available, are they not nailed on favourites to win the World Cup? Why, more importantly, did they struggle to qualify for the competition? I reckon my wife could send out a team with Messi and Tevez in to beat any side in the world! I may put a saving bet on the Argies to surprise a few people this summer.
And the relevance to West Ham? Well Maradona was a great, great player, just like Zola! Argentina's struggles illustrate the dangers of giving a management role to somebody based solely on his performances as a player. Hang on, here's an idea...if Zola wants to work with two footed players who can operate on the wrong flank, retaining the option of coming inside or going outside the full back, perhaps he should take over Argentina!
One last thought. Given how vulnerable that Arsenal defence is to players running at them with pace (even with Vermealen on the pitch and Campbell not playing), you have to wonder what we might have achieved had Stanislas played on the right and Ilan featured instead of Mido at the Emirates.
Come On You Why Can't Stanislas Play Like Messi Irons?

Today's word is Messi. Stick that in an article and try to get hits.
Come off it, you why don't you get a proper job idiot
Hf is a hits Whore.....
Did it ever occur to you that some players prefer to work on the opposite flank? did you do you due diligence to check? you might be surprised, try google (it's a search engine)
True, what kind of a cnut would try and trade the credibility of the fans of a team he claims to support, for a web counter that means nothing. Pathetic watching him pimp himself out to newsnow, turning tricks for clicks.
The only insightful piece of this article is that you're Married! Really???
Anyway, I've got a question for you.
What do you have in common with Katie Price?
No? OK I'll answer it for you -
You are both attention seeking, self indulgant c**ts.
"Turning tricks for clicks" that is pure brilliance!!!
Taking the piss out of COYI does cross the boundaries of decency as far as I am concerned.
Hi hammerfan
I check your blog a few times a week, like your opinions even if I dont always agree. Please keep it up. The only problem is that you have attracted some loser who keeps posting porn and other abusive crap , seems he doesn't like you very much. The anonymity
of the internet means that he can keep on doing this crap, so please keep on removing his posts.
cheers

Can you not ban "Anonymous" posts? I'm very surprised by the amount of opprobrium your blog attracts. I find it very entertaining and agree with most of it. Can't understand why some people object to it so violently.
Apologies to people whose comments have been deleted. There is an idiot posting sexual content on here so to protect children, I have taken down all comments on this thread.
I have referred this matter to Google who operate Blogspot and they are now monitoring the site. They share concerns about posting pornographic content on a site that children can access. It appears that the source can be identified and the internet provider contacted. A warning letter may then be posted to the address of the account holder. If a work computer is being used, that could have very serious ramifications for the individual. In the unlikely event that he is married with children of his own, it might make his wife ask a few questions.
I apologise to everybody else. The moderator facility is in use at the request of Google and they have shared moderator rights for now. The support was requested last week and evidence has been collected over the last 6 days. I have now been asked to post this warning so that the idividual(s) are fully aware of the consequences of any further activity of this sort. The racist comments are also under investigation and apparently this may be actionable by the police. I hope so, this sick individual needs to be brought to book.
Hope to be able to rescue others' comments!
