West Ham !!

[Misanthrope]

Rough game tonight, and I can't see us getting up. A draw is a possibility, but I'm expecting something in the vinicity of 2-1 against us, and that's assuming Carlton Cole continues his logic defying run of passable form.

:lol: :lol:

Terry and Alex will be dumbfounded!

 

[Misanthrope]

Terry and Alex will be dumbfounded!

They will be with Boa Morte throwing himself recklessly at every ball they attempt to play out of trouble.

Fear our strike force! Fear it!

 

[Dragonsforthewin]

ffs we need swp on the mids are way too f**ken compressed, j cole and lamps are non existant. We have to play a more positive wider game or else this will end up 0-0 or a 1-0 with a lucky goal from whatever side...

ffs

nobby is playing really well, always liked him at newcatle, he's doing everything gfor west ham right now unlucky

 

[Eskimo Sharkie]

Sorry guys. Could have gone either way. Chelsea were a far cry from the fluent outfit that beat Rosenborg mid-week.

 

[Moffo]

dubious goal...

 

[Dragonsforthewin]

yeah moffo if u watched the replay it was a 50 50 call.

ahh well, we played crap and still won although a better improvement in the second half, they did what I told them and a goal came

but seriously we need to play alot fkn wider.

Thankfully Chelsea were off their game, West Ham were dreadfull with the ball and made far to many mistakes.. Lucas Neil and Scott Parker being the main culprits.

Far to many cheap needless fouls which was disapointing but both sides ended up doing it, seems Chelsea sunk to West Ham's level in that regard.

Did i mention Lucas Neil is crap, has been most of the year...

1-0 away loss to Chelsea is not the end of the world though, tough game against Blackburn next week which is also away, followed by League Cup Q/F at home against Everton then 3 days later at home against Everton again...

Going to be a tough stretch in this form..

Did i mention Lucas Neil is crap?

 

[RedVGooner]

hey mong wat did u say about lucas Neil :roll: :lol:

 

[Dragooner]

Did i mention Lucas Neil is crap?

Nah, missed that part.:crazy:

 

[Dragonsforthewin]

to worsest.

 

[OVP]

Was wondering when OVP was going to pop in for some love

hehe good to see you again man

Actually you guys are doing well so far this year, so are we ... long may it continue !!

It'd be nice if both our teams could knock off the rich buggahs for once Bloody Arsengay though knocked us off last week.

Best of luck

An away win overnight, and one I certainly wasn't expecting given Blackburn's recent form. Good to see Ashton was on the score-sheet and back fit. A pity they didn't show the game here, but Koreans have a hard on for Tottenham

A very unexpected win.. Early on it was the same old story giving the ball away cheaply especially by the usual culprits Parker and Neil. Was still a little scrappy and it was end to end but that's the way they play.

Green was as good as ever, Cole was a little of his game being a yard behind where he should have been most of the time but he was always busy and annoying to their defense.

Everton, who are in great form, at Upton Park Thursday morning in the Carling cup should be a good game.. A very winable game at home.

Cmon you irons !!

 

[Mong]

Carling Cup QF this morning. Still no Bellamy and we are likely not to see him for a while. Solano is cup tied so Freddie will take his place, Ashton starting today...

Looking forward to a good game...

 

[Mong]

1-1 at half time.. Our goal by Cole was some bad keeping from them and their goal was a result of scrappy shoddy defending from the Hammers...

Not a bad game so far.. Who would want to live in England though, judging from what the fans are wearing it's freezing cold over there already..

 

[Macca_]

Bit of a scrapy winner too.

 

[Mong]

Takes a nice f*ck up again from our defense to lose this game... How Neil doesn't get sent off much more often is beyond me.. A bit less time spent abusing officials and a bit more time concentrating on his game would be nice...

In saying that, our attack was poor as well..

Next up - Everton again on Saturday...

 

[Mong]

Everton tonight with the prospect of only one fit striker, Ashton hasn't played many full games of late but he is all we will probably have... Etherington is also a huge loss.

M Etherington Groin Strain 15th Dec 07 very doubtful
J Collins Groin Strain 15th Dec 07 very doubtful
L Boa Morte Thigh Muscle Strain 15th Dec 07 very doubtful
C Cole Hip/Thigh Injury 15th Dec 07 doubtful
C Davenport Groin Strain 15th Dec 07 very doubtful
C Bellamy Abdominal Strain no return date
A Ferdinand Hamstring Injury 15th Dec 07 very doubtful
L Bowyer Gilmore's Groin 15th Dec 07 doubtful
B Zamora Knee Injury 14th Jan 08
K Dyer Broken Leg May 08
J Faubert Ankle/Foot Injury 14th Jan 08

It doesn't seem to be getting any better.

Seems Eggy has sold his stake in the club and has left with the Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson taking over full control... Pity really, i liked eggy's enthusiasm he showed for the club..

Hoping for a good win tonight..

Cmon you Irons !!
