West Ham 3 Fulham 0 - WTF?

I am in Heaven! Two hours ahead in Bucharest and, if honest, I had forgotten all about the game! New apartment but no internet access yet and no TV connection either, thus the silence on TGGC.  Logged on in a mate's apartment and saw the score. Then read the report and swore. Andy Carroll joined!

Amazed. Staggered. Astounded. And 3-0! I'm having another five Ciucs at 50p apiece to celebrate! See you under the table!!!!!

Ce faci HF? Haha what you doing around Bucuresti?!
You should try some Ursus, best Romanian beer ever! COYI!!!

Stani said...

They couldnt handle Carroll. Diame was immense and Vaz Te was brilliantly dynamic, knitting play together. Demel is fast improving and Taylor's set pieces were top class. The whole club is on a high. Finally finally, maybe some joy for us suffering sods

Hi mate. I will look out for Ursus! Drinking home made afinata at the moment, toasting Carroll! I've moved to Bucharest for 24 months. You clearly know the place. Fancy coming out for an Ursus or two?

Stani, you forgot Noble for some reason. According to the BBC, he and Diame controlled central midfield "brilliantly"!

Just found out we have Yossi too! Amazing! Magic!

You also sound almost like a normal fan HF, Have a great time in Bucharest, last time I was there I was following the Hammers, what a trip that was, unforgetable!

Btw, stop the crap about other clubs, concentrate on us.

Great start to the season, but we have to be top half after 9 games, or we'll get relegated.

Raincheck for now HF. But next time I'm coming to Bucharest, I'll drop by for a couple of beers. I live in Cluj for now but moving to a smaller town called Oradea. I'll be in Romania for the better part of the next 2 years as well.
Regarding our win, I think the whole squad was absolutely brilliant today! I think we just need a natural left back and we'll be all good. So much competition for places right now and I can't see Diarra or Collison pushing in with the likes of Diame and Yossi. It will be really tough! COYI!

Sav said...

So you moved to Romania on a permanent basis?

The reason Noble was not his usual self is the fact that he felt that his place in the team is finally under threat. But let's not get carried away. He had a decent game but nothing more.

I agree with Stani, Vaz Te was a constant threat, Carrol's presence unsettled the Fulham defence, Diame and Dembele had solid games, as everyone else really. And this with very good players like Benayoun,Jarvis, and so many others waiting anxiously for their turn to play in the team.

Perhaps you should stay in Bucharest. You bring us luck!

it is brilliant news. feels like the team has taken the direction of Pardews FA team and erased the dreadful mistake of Tevez & Mascherano, which however brilliant those two players were destroyed what had been built prior to their arrival, BFS's team now resembles what we should have become, huge props to BFS & David's for assembling a team that has an incredible chance of survival & possibly delivering much much more.

The game was unreal, the first goal by Nolan was impressive from the start.

HF you need to apologize to G/S. it appears their pursuit for Carroll was genuine not just for tickets.

US HF

It was like watching a different team HF. A commentator on the live stream even referred to us as 'Westhamcerlona' at one point, which made me spit out my tea!

Carroll, Nolan, Vaz Te... infact the whole team looked immense. And Yossi didn't even get a run out!

USA Dave said...

Still not sure about Carroll's hamstring injury. One twitter source immediately claimed that his injury wasnt serious and he should be fine for Norwich. Then Sullivans kid said 2 to 4 weeks. Guess we will find out soon.

Noble was fantastic. Completed an unthinkable number of passes. Demel was quality, as was Vaz Te. Carroll was in many ways the reason because he required so much attention.

We looked very, very good.

Bit funny he publicly stated he would never play for a club as small as West Ham. Low and behold come Friday and no one else stupid enough to pay the £100k/week demanded on he signs. Always dangerous when a loanee comes purely for the money and doesn't really care how he performs. Especially one as temperamental as Carroll. How many goals did he score last season anyway? Terrible bit of business. That £100k/wk would be better spent come Xmas believe me.

Btw would be worrying if you couldnt beat Aston Villa and Fulham at home as these are must win games if you're to stand ANY chance staying up this season. Both will be in the relegation mix. So far so good I suppose but when the injuries kick in and your first team deteriorates will be a completey different story, mark my words.

You're still going down lads I'm afraid.

Oh HF you missed a great opportunity for a slagging, you ok? - you've obviously forgotten the circumstances in which Yossi left?

19:30 anonymouse - no name, no team and obviously didn't watch the game either #sillyboy

Tell me what bit I've got wrong 0736 on the basis I didn't watch 68 minutes of "football"?

Oh I'm sorry so he did WANT to play for West Ham after all and wasnt attracted by the £100k/wk (or the fact noone else would pay it)? Maybe I'm going mad cause I could have swore he only scored about 8 goals or something last season? I suppose he didnt batter his ex after SHE caught HIM with something else (hence temperamental)? Or maybe you're just completely deluded and feel on the strength of 2 performances you have a SQUAD good enough to cope in this division?

Btw you lot are so fickle its unbelievable. Wait until your next hiding then it'll be oh no were going down, Allardyce this Allardyce that. In the meantime its oh HF I know I hate you and never agreed with anything you've written but have a lovely time in Bucharest and can I suck your c@@k...

Im such a silly boy...ooo I'm so happy.
