  • This Really Is A Great West Ham Team And Manager! 3-1 Away Win!

    Mark Lawrenson, despite his recent 'moment of clarity' got it wrong again, maybe he should be renamed Mark Got It Wrong Son! Despite Liverpool's ex -finest's prediction, a Dimitri Payet inspired West Ham United survived a rocky first half which saw Andy Carroll trouping off in an all too familiar fashion, and the conceding of a goal that Adrian will just have to put down as one of life's errors. The Billic lounge lizard quickly snapped in to place during half time, 'contract lengths' were questioned and family members 'healths' were inquired about!However all things seemed to reach for a more beneficial status quo.
    The second half was what supporting West Ham United was all about, memories of Brooking and Di Canio in their pomp shone through as The 'D' Man, Dimitri Payet and Enner valencia proved how far above the 'norm' of players in the Barclays Premier League that they are by delivering two of the most exquisite free kicks you will witness in a long time. In between Enner Valencia beautifully turned in a shot that was his trade mark many games ago before loss of form and injuries took their toll, finally, having scored his first goal(s) since September he is beginning to show why he was such a exciting prospect when he was first signed, maybe Slaven's 'lovetouch' is more seductive than Big Sam's Dudley "let's sort this here thing out" on the pitch theory or (Jurgen Klop's Liverpool sub grope thing!).
    Whatever, the fact is that the mighty Hammers have clawed their way above the prawn sandwich brigade in to the fifth spot of the cash rich Barclay's Premier League.
    Not bad for a team that 'Lawro' tipped for relegation! - Ed

    If we are serious about going for a top 6 spot and of course I believe we are then these two matches must be a minimum of 4 points gained from them....tonight will be tough Bournemouth play some good stuff and with a striker now to get on the end of what they create it will be tricky indeed but with some of our main players back I think we can win this 1-2....as for the georgdies we all no if they get a sniff early on then they can be hard to beat on there on patch so hopefully we can nick something early on get the crowd on there back and if not a win then at least a draw I think it will be 1-1......so hopefully the lads are rested and up for it because they are both very awkward fixtures.....if bfs in charge no doubt the fact we are on the south coast on Tuesday and north east on sat well jet lag will set in and players needs rest jeeez thank god he is gone!

    West Ham United have been drawn away to either Exeter or Liverpool, who have of course already been beaten twice by the Irons this season, in the 4th round of the FA Cup.

    so unless we offload some players no transfer activity for us and you have to admire the depth to our squad for keeping us going when most of our major hitters are out injured.....BUT a few questions need asking I feel about certain players the obvious being that jenks loan deal that cannot be terminated must never be made permanent which is a given...actually feel sorry for the lad as on the one hand he signed a nice 5 year deal with the gooners before being loaned back but must of realised almost immediately that he will not be back here next season and the thought of bench warming if he gets that close for the gooners has him wondering where the hell he will be next season and I think this has had a lot to do with his level of performance this time round.....Song is another and I hope he does not get a permanent contract...not impressed by him(my opinion)and the wages he wants well there is better out there a lot younger and cheaper shelvey for one would do very nicely that's if he does not get taken in this window and we can get him in summer....Zarate get rid of him if we get cash that's a bonus.....moses of course another expensive loan blows hot and cold but with the end of the season it is clear slav wants his mate from besiktas gokhan toure(forgive the spelling)so he will be gone...samuelsen will be loaned out again he needs the games and experience and he is proving a great pick up citehs loss is our gain.....as for Valencia the guy needs to toughen up a bit he has all the attributes of a great player but seems to have a personality that if he gets tackled hard he stays on his arse moaning looking around for help from the ref when nothing comes he goes into his shell.....slav tell him to grow a set and get on with it......well that's my opinion you all have yours lets hear them

    Well what a weekend of f.a cup action,oxford beating swansea,eastleigh almost beating bolton & exeter v the scouse-ditto!We are through to tonights draw (& a big up to jelavic for coming good with a corker of a goal)!
    People are saying that the cup is not the same because of the prem & they have a point.Me i still harp back to the days when the fa cup was special,& for the lower league sides imo it still is...
    Slav is quoted as saying he wants to lift a cup rather than get in the top 4,good for you slav i say,a trip to wembley for us all after the closure of upton park will be fitting...
    So who do you want in the next round??a biggish club or a minnow?? Arsenal or the spuds?? thoughts please...
