Scousers love to play the victims!
Forums:
The one thing that seems to be coming clear over the last couple of decades is that scousers just love to play the victims! Just read a lot of their comments about Tuesday's game and they really just don't get they are now only a mid table team. Over 95 per cent of them were slagging everything off other than their team. Said we were a disgrace from the start. Constantly throwing ourselves to the ground, long ball, never a penalty or a free kick for our goal. Ordinary players, ref gave us everything, not once did we get any credit. They played a shadow team whilst we played our best team! No mention of us playing Randolph and joey and obiang. Or missing sakho, song, Adrian, Lanzini, byram, Tomkins. The closest I came was when one person stated they haven't beaten us in four games and only scored one goal. We were described as a very limited team! It's about time the media and their fans realise that most things in Liverpool are just a myth! No not everyone in Liverpool is funny, not everyone can sing, their fans are not that knowledgeable or gracious in defeat and most importantly the team is currently no more than a mid table team who buy over priced players that are over rated.

Jelavic going to China

It seems that Jelavic is going to go in China. I read that it has reached an agreement with the Beijing Renhe second division. For us to play 480 minutes scoring two goals.
There Must Be An Angel (o)
Angelo Ogbonna broke Scouser hearts seconds away from a penalty shoot out during extra time against Liverpool in an enthralling and entertaining FA Cup 4th round replay that saw both sides able to win the tie. Hammers prevailed in the end in what some would see as a Karmic balance of a footballing match, of course the last time both teams met in the FA Cup proper was the 2006 Gerrard/Scaloni Cup final, a match that still has the West Germany 3-2 England 1970 Mexico world cup finals parallel firmly embedded in certain Hammers fans memories. This was a match that should have been won, and every time it is reviewed it seems impossible that there could be such a negative outcome to the proceedings, however in both matches the end result was a travesty. Tonight's match at the Boleyn was no less dramatic than the final at Cardiff, it was possibly going to be the last FA Cup match at the hallowed turf graced by Sir Bobby et tout, fortunately West Ham prevailed in a certain quid pro quo equalisation of the 2006 final. Incidentally, fair play to the Liverpool travelling supporters who sang their hearts out, they were almost as good as Hammers away support during the final. - Ed

An Unfair Advantage, Chinese Clubs Can Swoop!Even Payet?
It is a strange anomaly, that while Barclays Premier League teams are intoxicated by the fiscal windfall they are about to receive, that they may have taken their eye of the proverbial ball! The signs were there when Chinese clubs were the biggest shakers and movers in the transfer market recently, but because they are not party to the same legislation as European clubs, they are allowed to sign players outside of the transfer window. This situation does ask the question as to the possible advantage the Chinese clubs have over their European competitors. Now the recent Murdoch delivered information is that an unnamed Chinese club have offered £38 Million for Dimitri Payet, the same club have also offered Payet £7.2 Million a year NET in wages! Now some sceptics might say this is an entirely agent looking for some extra income driven event, but to be honest that theory is unlikely, in addition Payet has not been the stellar performer as yet that he was at the beginning of the season, partly due to returning from a nasty injury ahead of time, but also because other team's managers have developed a double up, triple up formula to nullify his mercurial presence ( this of course opens up vast space for Payet's team mates). Either way, this would not be a prime time for Payet or his agent to throw a 'hissy' and the general consensus is that the currently circulating rumours are just that., rumours!
Of course this train of events could be due to a certain set of media outlets hijacking an already lame article, and indeed that will probably be the outcome, but the extent West Ham United and all the other top teams will be exposed to pernicious transfer enquiries from the far east should not be underestimated. West Ham and the player himself have been quick to distance themselves from any conflict, but the fact that the club have said that cordial negotiations are under way for an improved contract does rather endorse the threat there is from massively rich clubs in China. On the tenth anniversary of Ron Greenwood's death, one wonders what the great man would have made of his beloved game so awash with cash - Ed
