An epic fall but respect is due

I have just seen footage of Madonna's fall at the Brit awards but, as much as I'm not a fan at all, the recovery was professional and admirable. I saw this and thought 'how does she compare to a lot of the so called modern day footballers?' Madonna is 56, and she fell from a small height onto her back but she got straight back up and finished the performance without rolling around or bitching to get someone else into trouble. So how pathetic are a lot of the so called 'men' that go down from a challenge these days?

Do the rules not apply when they could benefit West Ham?

DG has advised there is no recourse to appeal the penalty "goal" scored by the Spuds on Sunday which left a draw away feeling like a huge defeat. The rules state the goal should not have stood but we're powerless to do anything about it cos the rules say we can't. What's the point of the rule then?

Surely we're entitled to some form of compensation? Every other club seems to be able to benefit at our expense or we're 'rightly' punished if in the eyes of someone else we've done wrong, well clearly here we were robbed. So if we can't appeal to FIFA, can't seek compensation from Spuds then surely we should be able to sue the Premier League for the incompetance of the referee. He clearly doesn't know the rules, so when they're broken someone must be held accountable. We can't sue him directly otherwise no-one would ever be a ref but we should certainly be able to sue his employer for some of their vast sunms of money. This potentially could cost us a million in league position. We should either do it now, or outline our intention to do it at the end of the season should those 2 points lost in anyway affect where we finish in the legue.

Kevin Kilbane - My Opinion

Having a child with learning disabilities and severe physical needs myself and having never heard the word used against her or within earshot for nearly 18 years, such a definition of the word by Kevin himself may have drawn more attention to the word and it’s potentially damaging use, based upon his own assumption of the meaning. His actions of publicising his own ideas could affect more people than the crowd at a football match, in my opinion. If the crowds intention was to label the player as he says/believes then that would be clearly wrong but proving it, when the definitions of the word commonly are different to what he believes, would make this virtually impossible? I think his emotions are running high and although I admire him for trying to offer protection, based upon his feelings for others, I think he is wrong to publicise it. A sensitive subject I know but I wanted to air my opinion.

Maybe I've turned into a grumpy old man but what have The Hammers got to do to get a bit of praise on Match of the Day. Last night it was all about how poorly Spurs played, heaven forbid it had nothing to do with how well the Hammers contained them and yes BBC they actually scored 2 goals and they hardly got a mention. Am I right or should I just chill out.

Best fans in the League?

After two back to back away games, I have to say how amazing we are as fans. We took over West Brom last weekend and sang our hearts out (well at least till the 4th goal and sending off). Yesterday we out sang and out supported at WHL, and I can't remember Spurs being quieter. I don't know if it came across on the box, but we just were a constant noise. There must be some poll to decide the best fans in the league? It would have to be a club that is mainly supported locally. I mean Man U or Liverpool taking 5000 to a southern ground is no mean feat as they all live in Guildford anyway. As for the game, we were fantastic and surely the Nolan penny has dropped!? The Cole substitution was bizarre and where I think Allardyce is so stubborn, is that he fills his bench with all the players we would probably get rid of, out of his loyalty to them. Forget the substitution for a minute, before the game he picked Cole, Nolan, Jarvis, Demel, Collins and JOB to potentially change a game. Really? Why no Poyet, , Lletget, Zarate or Lee? Surely some young fresh legs would've been better? If he could honestly release this obsession with trying to prove he's right about certain players, I think we could go far. Allardyce will never accept the fans and neither they with him, but if he keeps putting out a team like that to start, then I think people will bury their feelings and we could get more cracking performances like yesterday.
