Come On You IROOOONS!! [+Your Team Selection]
Despite everything that we have been through the past couple of games/years (whatever way you want to look at it), it is vital that we get fully behind the team today.
Morale generally is at a pretty significant low…the players are down, the Manager is clearly down and I fear that unless things change we might [...]
It’s Hard, But Don’t Boo Curbishley…[16 COMMENTS]
A new record low attendance was set last night at Upton Park, a mere 10,055 turned up to watch yet another disappointing performance against the praiseworthy Macclesfield. They put in a big performance and did not deserve the final scoreline. Isn’t worth mentioning the score because it flatters us and simply papers over some of [...]
[YOU'RE THE BOSS]: Who Would You Play Against Blackburn? Time To Have Your Say
Manchester City was absolutely shambolic. It was an embarrassment. But I’ve been through all that in this post HERE.
But Blackburn is a new game, with the players having a fresh opportunity to go out there and prove themselves. I’m not sure how many chances some of them need to be quite honest with you!
I am [...]
Spineless
Manchester City 3 - 0 West Ham
24/08/08
I read in the Daily Mail before the season started that we are the least exciting team to watch in the whole league. I bluntly refuted this rude and unjustified judgment of our underlying quality and entertainment. (Obviously blinded by my pre-season optimism)
My reasoning however, and in all honesty, [...]
Why Is This Happening?
I’m really interested to hear people’s thoughts about the Anton Ferdinand situation. If you are not up-to-date yet, we have accepted an £8m for Anton from the powerhouse that is Sunderland (The Telegraph).
It’s not as if we have an abundance of fit centre halves…in fact only two, Davenport and Upson, are match fit.
In all fairness [...]
West Ham 2-1 Wigan…Bit Flattering Maybe?
One game down, already 3 points ahead of Spurs, and a striker who is genuinely capable of pushing for an England place.
A scrappy affair that at times was encouraging to watch and at times had “so remind me, why did I renew my season ticket?” written all over it.
We were very quickly out of the [...]
[YOU'RE THE BOSS]: Who Would You Play Against Wigan?
I’m sure you’re all very exicted about the new season. Well.
What better way to kick us off than a rip-roaring encounter against the might of Wigan…I am going to be positive and say I expect us to win, but then you can never be sure at the minute. I think apprehensive is the word!
But without [...]
[Big Shout]: West Ham In For Larsson
I’m hoping that you can take two things away from this article….where one West Ham players (was previously named, but decided to remove the name, just in case!) buys his clothes and who we are rumoured to be signing at some point in the transfer window.
Make of it what you will, I just felt that [...]
[POLL RESULTS] Should Curbishley Get The Sack?: And Negotiations With Appiah
For the record, I certainly don’t think Curbishley should get the sack…especially so close to the start of the season. I am not his biggest fan as a manager, but as soon as the first ball is kicked on Saturday, I am firmly behind him and the team. I will let his management of the [...]
Curbishley In For Thatcher: Barton To Follow [VIDEO]
So, it’s Sunday. And as a rule of thumb, I try not to post on Sundays.
But Ben Thatcher playing yesterday against Villareal has really ruffled my proverbial feathers. Seriously Curbishley, is this a wind-up?
I thought that when he played against Bishop’s Stortford that would be it. He would just be another unwanted trialist who was [...]
