Or is it big fat Sam? - Playing for the foul, a single barge/push results in a player going down and holding his head/leg. Even if you don't get the free you still slow the game up. Win/win! - take a year and a half to take throw ins and goal kicks - put 11 men behind the ball for most of the match - 2 thugs at CM 2 thugs at CB, soak up any crosses! - HOOOOFF it up and hope for the best The west ham recipe for the beautiful game. If you keep that up you could last 10 years in mid table premiership!
Hope not, West ham are the new 'epl' Stoke & must be treated accordingly. Relegation is the only option.
I notice there are no replies from the West Ham faithful. No witty come-backs, no counter arguments. Nothing. Could consecutive seasons of watching BFS's tactics lulled them into a soporific state?
