Much as it grieves me to say it the hammers look better than anyone else in this league. Bar the Ipswich blip of course. Let's hope we learnt something from it about attacking football
Should have been a freekick for the foul on forde, however he should have caught the ball and we had 80+ mins with a man advantage and you wouldn't have known it from watching the game. 5pt gap to Ipswich now so looking like 3 from the bottom 5 for the drop unless Pomey actually get some punishment for once again finding themselves in financial trouble.
Thankfully, for once, we raised our game after going (quite righty) down to 10 men. I honestly expected Wall to start putting us under periods of pressure, but it didn't happen, and Mark Noble was immense,ran the game. After watching it on the box last night, i admit it was a foul on Forde, but.... he should have caught it or at least punch the ball well out of harms way and the wrong decision corrected the one where Taylor got caught by one of yours(don't recall the name) and the useless ref gave a free kick to Wall One very important ingredient we had and,for once you didn't, was the grit and determination. Your lot really didn't seem to be up for it ?
You have the biggest squad and have spent the most money on wages, fees etc. and you still need to cheat Millwall
We won because we : 1.played better 2.wanted it more 3. had more possession despite being a man down for 82 mins 4. have quality see you very soon.
West Ham were crap, had 10 men but still outclassed the pussycats from Bermondsey. Jackett, get your coat Jackett Jackett get your coat.

Every decision went your way in that game mate,except one, a crucial one i'll admit, but we don't sing "the referee's a ******" for no reason. Dunne (or maybe Lowry) went into Taylor high,with studs up,into his stomach. Should have been a red card (all the pundits said the same),but that cock of a ref gave the freekick your way If you had played well and deserved something from the game,i'm big enough to admit it,but you didn't deserve anything. If you were there TC, you'd know that you lot were getting very fustrated due to your team not putting us under pressure enough,if you had,you might have won. Remember,we had 10 men (have i mentioned that?)
Cockney, I'm not saying this out of sour grapes but Allardyce had you playing some hoof-ball at times, yes and I know you beat us ! Would you agree?
No, i don't agree SE16 I actually thought we played some good stuff for a change(look at the lovely move when Faubert's header hit the woodwork). We play hoofball away from home, but at home we play a more passing game. I watched the whole game back on the box, and its easily one of the best games we played this season.
and its easily one of the best games we played this season. well teams do when they are playing their cup final
