Amex Offer Refunds-Irons Don't!

Submitted by nevillenixon on

"That'll do nicely" was the American Express advertising copy line for decades, Brighton fans will be thinking exactly that as they pontificate their 'easy' demolition of West Ham yesterday, the 4-0 scoreline was flattering to the visiting Irons as ALL the good will of last week's 4-0 victory over Notts Forest evaporated, as the late Tommy Cooper would say "just like that".

Th'Ings' Could Have Been So Different!

Submitted by nevillenixon on

Ahead of last night's FA Cup game few people have Hammers a chance against Man U at Old Trafford, ultimately the home side prevailed with an immensely flattering score line, but things could have been SO different had the normally immaculate Nayef Aguerd not had an absolute stinker of a night AND Big Mikey Antonio hadn't fluffed his lines on at least TWO separate occasions!

Defeatist Moyes Might As Well Not Turn Up!

Submitted by nevillenixon on

Ahead of tonight's FA Cup game David Moyes was hardly the man to inspire his troops ahead of them going over the top! "I am hoping we can give them a good game, we have to defend against so many good players in the Premier League," Moyes told the media. "Rashford is one of them and we played them earlier in the season and we were really unfortunate. David de Gea played really, really well to keep them in the game or we could have had a positive result. It was very close in the league, and I am hoping we can give them a good game this time around."

Hammers keeper Lukasz Fabianski may require surgery after suffering a fractured cheekbone and eye socket caused by an 'over zealous' tackle from Forest's Jimenez. The 37-year-old Poland international sustained the injury during Saturday's 4-0 win.

At the time of the Injury defender Nayef Aguerd was furious with the Wolves forward for what he saw as an unnecassary follow through of the ball when it was clearly the keeper's!

FA Cup Or FA?

Unfortunately, Hammers always seem to get the 'bums rush' when it comes to fixtures against perennial over spenders and under achievers Manchester United. David Moyes takes his team to the club that sacked him, unfairly in many people's minds, fresh after they have just secured their 1st trophy in SIX YEARS!

Moyes' Mind Management

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

No the Hammers manager hasn't embarked on a mind advancing programme, or an Estj based getting to know yourself while you are threatened with being thrown off a cliff weekend retreat course! We are discussing whether David Moyes really does need help, he is notoriously stubborn to the point of 'cutting his own nose off to spite his face'!

Fans leaving the as yet unnamed London Stadium were greeted with a sumptuous skyline that somehow reflected the mood perfectly, a beautiful rainbow filled the sky on a day when the club's fortunes changed for the good and the late great Bobby Moore's life and achievements were honoured.
