norwich city 1 (1) v (0) 0 west ham united howson screamer from 6 inches 47% yes - here's what i think will happen: west ham will get one of those controversial 'was it or wasn't it' handball penalty calls go against them in the final five minutes but we'll get away with it. we'll see the game out 1-0, we'll all be delighted with the three points but rather than diffuse the situation, the following two weeks will be spent talking about 'what if' west ham had scored that penalty, would he have survived and we'll keep going round in circles until the newcastle game. sound plausible?
I predicted Howson to score as well, and yeh we will still be going around in circles after this match but I think it will be more along the lines of: Super "Howson's goal was amazing", Carrabuh "He was just lucky, West Ham were awful on the day"
He he Supers - I think the opposite - we'll get a penalty - Woofie will clear the stand roof with it and the moronic element in the crowd will all have a go at Hughton for not allowing Snoddy to take it !

I don't like the idea of "celebrating" when a player is injured, I think it's a little sick and against the spirit of the game - I'd much rather beat a full strength West Ham than an injury-ravaged one. That being said, given the circumstances, it can only be deemed "good news" from our point of view that Winston Reid is out. I think he is their key defender and class.

Struggling between: a) A shocking performance, reminiscent of Burnley all those years ago leaves us getting beat 4-0. The TV cameras focus on Hughton, arms folded in helplessness. The rain hammers down around. b) RVW leads the line superbly, scoring a delicate chip over the onrushing Jaaskelienen before setting up Johnson for a thirty yard screamer. He rounds it off in the second half with a deft turn around the defender before smashing it low into the left corner. c) a tense and edgy game. City score midway through the second half with a Snodgrass deflected toe poke in the box, which is then held for the last thirty minutes to secure a one nil win. Possession is 42% Let's go for c
