Hammers Beat Spurs At The It's Happened Again Stadium

Livid Tottenham supporters have taken to social media (visit other sites to see their comments copied and pasted, we don't regurgitate such dross!) to express how sad they think Hammers fans are for celebrating their victory over Tottenham at the Daniel Levy 'It's Happened Again' Stadium. In addition to the vast majority of their supporters being in total denial over Tottenham's defeat, the usual excuses of a cluttered playing schedule were rolling out even before the final whistle of West Ham's 1-0 victory, excuses not made by Mauricio Pochettino who is a class act.

Even those caring sharing people, the bookies, had their reservations as to whether Tottenham could maintain their 'virginal' goal's conceded tally, worth odds of only 3-1 for an away victory! Even the extremely biased UK commentary, which many TV fans now put in to silent mode while using local radio for their actual live commentary, couldn't detract from what was a 'proper' roll your sleeves up performance, crikey even Alan Shearer was eulogising about the Beast that is Issa Diop

It will come as no surprise to many that the Hammers defence looked rock solid, the reason being that this was the first time in ages when the General, Fabian Balbuena, and the Beast Issa Diop had been in partnership at the back since Balbuena had been sidelined through injury four months ago. During his time out time Angelo Ogbonna deputised well, but not to the high level that the General and the Beast were used to operating at.

The whole team put a shift in on what was a memorable day, but it does beggar the question as to why Hammers cannot perform to the same level on a frequent basis? This season has seen some wonderful performances, unfortunately usually followed by some woeful ones, and it is this level of consistency that must drive Manuel Pellegrini crazy, it does to the fans! Next season the squad will be more refined and hopefully more able to play like the 'big club' that Pellegrini wants it to, for too long the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the club's results have ensured a lack of forward momentum, this needs to change.

Finally, the Levy friendly press have rallied around the man who gives them a lift in his private aero plane at every opportunity, by rolling out the injuries and suspensions that Tottenham are having to cope with. Conveniently they omit to mention the fact that West Ham have had the worst injury list of any club in the Barclays Premier League, Saturday lunch time's victory over Tottenham was a glimpse of how good West Ham could have been all season but for the catastrophic injuries accumulated.

Manuel Pellegrini had a warm glow around him during his post match 'Presser', "Our fans are double happy", nuff said Boss! - Ed
