Tell me, shouldn't the priority be the team you send on to the pitch, not where the bloody pitch is located? Whilst Sullivan and Gold fiddle, the Boleyn legacy is burning to the ground! Whist the Olympic Dream is realised the Upton Park nightmare unfolds!
3-0 at half time at West Brom. Another relegation six pointer, another game where losing is not an option, another game where we haven't even turned up. A goal down inside 4 minutes and a goal conceded in a disgraceful fashion. Noble gave up when Odemwinge drifted past him. He challenged once, he challenged twice, then gave up, stopped dead in his tracks and let the Baggies man pick his pass. And Dorrans was completely unmarked, sitting in the hole between our back four and midfield. As usual, Parker was in front of the ball instead of where he should have been, behind it, screening our back four. As usual we had two banks of four, literally, with nothing and nobody in between them, nobody sitting, nobody screening, nobody tracking, nobody thinking. There has an attempt to block the shot, but it was half hearted, not like a Tomkins block or a Collins block, the two men who should be our centre back pairing. Dorrans took aim, shot, and it was game over. This team was never going to recover from that.
Goal two was always inevitable, with the midfield and defence operating at two completely separate and distinct units. West Brom were then denied a perfectly good penalty when Da Costa couldn't deal with a simple ball over the top and Reid pulled back a West Brom player deep inside the penalty box. The Baggies only had 10 players on the pitch at the time to compound the humiliation. The own goal for the third said it all, this team, this club, is intent on its own self destruction.
3-0 at half time against West Bromich Albion. But fcuk, who cares, we have a shiny new stadium with talk of retractable seating. You bloody fools! You stupid bloody, idiotic, gullible fools.
Well I think I would prefer a new modern easy to get to stadium with cheap entrance and a lousy team and manager than an old fashioned ground difficult to get to expensive to get into and a lousy team and manager
ReplyDeleteWho are you calling fools mate, your fellow hammer fans or the two D's?
ReplyDeleteGame over? 3 -3 That was some comeback. A point may not be enough but after the first half horror show that will do. Tactics were wrong. We should have started with Kovac to play in front of the two dodgy central defenders. Plenty to sort out before the Liverpool game.
ReplyDeleteWest Ham United - anagram for " A New Stadium". Just accept the move has been written into our fate HF.
Perhaps it will be re-named the "Olympic Gold" stadium but DS may have something to say about that.
John, invest in the stadium, you can't invest in the team. Life is about choices. I can have a new car or an expensive holiday, I can't have both.
ReplyDelete1719, everybody in favour of moving to the new stadium. So if that includes you...
includes me and 59,999 others
ReplyDeleteCorrect me if I am wrong, but I thought there was 35 million from the government originally set aside for reducing the OS from 80,000 to 25,000 seats, a weird interest free loan of 40 million which evidently we don't have to pay back from the London Borough of Newham all going towards the alteration costs of 90 million leaving West Ham with presumably 15 million to find. Not a lot of money for a brand new stadium!
