    I was actually frustrated at how stop start the game was, never really got going. More due to knocks from physicality. I didn’t think anything was wrong with how either team were putting in challenges, if he’d kept blowing up it’d hve been very soft both ways

    ...didn't see the game as Iwas out but the BEEB feed wasn't too complmentary ... saw Sky sports news highlight when I got in ... crap defending for the Hammers goal and terrible time to concede ...

    Thought we had a much better penalty shout tbf ... and there is some speculation about Ayew facing retrospective action for diving ... there was a bit of initial contact but he delayed throwing himself to the floor until he realised the ball was running away from him <laugh>

    I’ll never understand something like that and if I was the gaffer I’d fine him. Had he stayed on his feet he would have had a clear pop at goal at the very least and even had the space to get closer for shooting.

    <doh>

    I'm pretty confident that Saints won't lose today.

  7. Spurs 0 v 1 West Brom

    After 4 minutes!

    Well, that wasn't in the script!

    I can’t see it lasting and hopefully it won’t, would rather WBA stay down below. New manager bounce but I am hopeful you will win. I am more interested in how a result affects my teams fortunes over petty forum stuff :emoticon-0148-yes:

    No, but I don’t suspect West Brom will be either, I suspect it’ll be mid table positions being competed for. More likely competition than Spurs anyway

    Poor by us, worst I've seen Eriksen play since he joined, couldn't string a 5 yard pass together let alone anything else.

    Rubbish...we are not good enough to break down a team that parks the bus. WBA had 2 banks of 4 for the whole match...hope they get relegated.

    We are still on to finish 6...as predicted...onto Lesta Westa next weekend...on the train now...I’m going to sleep.

    No corner, Violent kick out & Deflect goal - #Baggies needed all three in a minute to beat might #Brighton.

    You wonder why Judas's Manutd won't win the league? This is how. They can cheat, be violent & buy anyone & everyone. FFS!

    Brighton were better and deserved all 3. Judas' Baggies played with 5 CB all of 2nd half and still cheated to get a undeserving 3 pts. As usual <doh>

    Disgrace!!

    Hearing that the Spuds were lucky to cling on for a point at the end, with West Brom nearly nicking it with a shot that Rondon put just wide.

  18. 'Pool all over Chavs like a very bad rash.

    I'm obviously hoping for a draw, but I can see 'Pool winning this.

    there were 21 players in their half a few minutes to go and only one team looking for the winner...they hit us on the break, that was the risk that was... they still missed shot ****s.

    Our problem is getting through a parked bus...granted we are not efficient at that

  20. When we crack that problem, we will be unstoppable, Bruv.
