After the shame of White Hart Lane, it's time for West Ham fans to show their class. One thing is guaranteed: even though the game is in the North West and even though we are virtually guaranteed to be on the wrong end of a tonking, West Ham fans will show up in numbers, singing their hearts out and backing the team no matter what the score.
Whereas the home fans are fickle and turn far too easily on the players, the away supporters have developed thick skins and almost revel in masochistic agony. When not spouting vile invective, the passion is a joy to behold and an example to many.
Do we stand a cat in hell's chance? It is bloody hard to make a case for anything other than a three goal reverse at best. Rooney, Van Persie, Hernandes...ok, the Mancs are weak at the back but will we ever get the ball down the other end to exploit that? Long lumped balls to Carroll are not going to trouble Man Utd any more than they troubled Spurs.
Still, Noble's critics will be hoping that we suddenly play like Barcelona and prove that all the stats suggesting he is our best player are wrong!
Noble is our best player, HF?
ReplyDeleteMost completed passes, most completed tackles, highest percentage of completed passes, most ground covered - the stats suggest he is Stani.
ReplyDelete"West Ham fans to show their class"
ReplyDeleteMake the assumption that that class exists in West Ham fans?, can this be proven?
Your fans are "an example to many"....jesus, which planet are you on? totally delusional
ReplyDeletePanicking about playing Manure?
Thought it was 11 v 11?
You may have a chance if you get a goal from a set piece and hang on for dear life...
Leeds won there last time we played them....
Grow a pair you southern softie
Is Noble our best player, HF?
ReplyDeleteI'll take that as a 'no' :)
ReplyDeletePersonally, I would call Nolan our best player so far this season based on goals scored. I would call Noble our second best player Stani, based on performances, appearances etcetera. Jarvis hasn't done it consistently yet, Yossi has underperformed, Diame is in and out, Carroll hasn't been scoring...
ReplyDeleteSo you're not separating the vile racist scum from your away support then? "When not spouting vile invective their passion is a joy to behold"? So instead of the life bans you called for,these creatures are ok as long as they show passion? You've dropped yourself RIGHT in it now. Any normal genuine fan would separate the two. YOU ARE A RACIST and you've just condoned sundays behaviour.
ReplyDeleteSix of the best tonight for the racists v the scum.
ReplyDeleteWho scored at your nazi rally on sunday you cock?
ReplyDeleteIt's reassuring to know that you don't go by those stats either then
ReplyDeleteOOOOH NOBLE,special friend! FRIEND! noble is shit mate i keep telling ya!praised for being able to run,pass and tackle???that is the MINIMUM a footballer should be able to do ya wanker!youre a team of average players who have had an above average first half of the season.i predict you will lose tonight but i predict you will stay up this season.my prediction:15th
ReplyDeleteyeh,yeh stats are all well and good but you need to watch all the games for the full 90mins to make judgements hf! the odd game in five years and MOTD highlights dont give you the full picture!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha.one minute? Theres at least another 5 goals to come. Ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteManur 1 West Ham 0 after 34 seconds .... Lol .... Must be some sort of record that. .... And after a good thrashing by the yids 3 days ago .... Looks like the bubbles burst ... Best start blowing more than your boyfriend
ReplyDeleteHF notice how apart from Noble none of our players seem to be able to complete a pass to our players.
ReplyDeleteThe fact we are not like Barcelona has nothing to do with whether Noble plays or not. If you want to make such a comparison, you would perhaps have noticed that we a lot more solid and secure as team without Mr. PR in the team. That was evident tonight as well. That is, for anyone who wanted to see.
ReplyDeleteTo become like Barcelona we need a Messi, an Iniesta, a Xavi and another 8 such players at least. But most of all, we need another manager with a totally different football mentality than the one Sam has about football.
Another defeat for the mighty spammers!
ReplyDelete...at least another 5 goals to come ?
ReplyDeleteStick to what ever it is that you actually know. But as it is West Ham, the five goals you crave will probably come from Chelski. That's the West ham way - no two games the same. Pluses - Maiga, Demel, Jussi.
As for Wets Ham being the only racists, you obviously don't live in 21st century Ingerland; they are all over the place, along with the humans who also live here, you Berkeley....
Sav, please don't take my hyperbole so literally! What you can't deny is that Noble would have retained the ball better than any of our midfield tonight. Yes we looked solid, Tomkins did a good job, but Noble would have made us more solid than Diame did, and would have passed the ball far better.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that Diame can hugely improve his passing. But please, Noble for Diame would have been a real disaster last night, and any other day.
ReplyDeleteNoble gives the ball away, he gets pushed off the ball as feather and I am sure with Noble in Diame's place last night we would have conceded at least 3 more goals.
you got beat so none of it mattered !
