Run Haller Run

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Just wondering if anyone else saw Hallers improvement when he came on in the second half at one point i swear i saw him sprint into the box on more than one occasion and did some tracking back.....maybe he is at last buying into what Moyes is selling or cynical me is he hoping Monaco are still looking?

Brady

Submitted by Hammers 65 on

Brady (or as our friend boogers) calls her lady buttplug was on telly this morning spouting her usual drivel....sorry cant stand the woman,when asked about lower league clubs struggling to survive all she could say was but we are losing 2 million a match atm...had to turn over she makes me cringe,typical priveleged pompous snob,everything that my club has never been! Rant over lol

Pointless international breaks as usual so thought I'd throw it out there,songs that are good for the carpenters pub in stratford ( proper westham boozer!)...our good friend Essex boy gets in there before he jumps in the canal on matchdays!!lol
I enjoy it in there for a beer or 3 before entering the BoM....
Hurry up Harry,if the kids are united - Sham 69,london calling - The clash,The ruts - Babylon burning,that's for starters any other old school bangers you can think of are welcome....

3g pitches whats the problem

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Watching the Oxford city/Northampton cup match(what else to do)its not a bad game of football but the commentator has a hard on about the artificial pitch....some of the nonsense he has come out with really annoys me....ball drags not a true bounce all the usual rubbish and now he said it affected Northamptons team selection as not wanting to risk a player just back from injury because of the surface......they tried it when Arsenal played Sutton in the cup and tried to get Wenger to moan about the surface and he had none of it most clubs train indoors on 3g pitches in prem league they let you play and pass the ball easily...i think to many people hark back to QPHaas and Oldhams plastic pitches which were dreadful....and they are used by Russian sides in champions league so why the Football league are against them i do not no why...with clubs struggling for income surely it makes sense to splash out on these pitches which can be used all year round and hired out to help create income....when matches called of because they are waterlogged or frozen these come into there own and are a Godsend to smaller clubs...i hope the football league see sense and drop there rule to stop these pitches coming into the league because for me there argument does not stand up to scrutiny.....causes injuries well so do grass/muddy/frozen pitches so like i said IMO they have no argument.

Were we wrong to make a fuss over Diangana ?

Submitted by Burkie1 on

At the time the sale of Grady Diangana was a monumental act of betrayal by the Driscolls, Grady was everything an up and comming west ham youngster could be,skillfull,energetic,willing to learn and above all youth on his side ,such players dont often come through the academy all that often ,and then they let him go to W B A for what was considered a pittance, well,all hell broke loosse ,the Driscolls were public enemy no 1 ,but on reflection were we a bit previous ?, Grady hasnt turned out to be the player Slavin hopped he would ,he's already slipped down the peckin order to the bench and as for us ?,well you dont need me to tell you ,we've come on leaps and bounds .
So the estimated 20 mill we thought was daylight robbery might just turn out to be a nice little earner ,

David Moyes has really brought the best out of him, for me tonight (v Fulham) he was out MOTM. He benefits a lot from Mas playing ahead of him and boy can he cross a ball ! (just a pity no-one got on the end of them).
For me he is our most improved player this season but certainly is back to his best and I for one am delighted.
Surely if he maintains this form he is a candidate for HOTY?
