QPR v West Ham United FC

Queens Park Rangers: Julio Cesar, Onuoha, Hill, Nelsen, Mbia, Wright-Phillips, Granero, Fauerlin, Park, Zamora, Cisse
Subs: Green, Diakite, Taarabt, Mackie, Ephraim, Ehmer, Hoilett

West Ham United: Jaaskelainen, Demel, Reid, Collins, O'Brien, Noble, Diame, Nolan, Vaz Te, Jarvis, Cole
Subs: Henderson, McCartney, Tomkins, O'Neil, Benayoun, Maiga, Carroll

And what does Tomkins have to do to start?

COYI! Not the most creative side, but we start slowly and defend as always away. Let's just hope we do not concede and can later take advantage of something! I predict Cole not to score.

Just a matter of how many goals Carlton Cole scores.
No problem tonight.

Very well done! I hope Reid is OK!

wait for Reid to get knocked out by a punch from Jussi

apart from the injury to Reid and O'Brien... great first half...

two away goals - our first of the season... form Jarvis and Vas Te...

QPR look like a real pile of shit... be wary that they'll come out all guns blazing after the break... but they'll be getting a rocket form Hughesy cos they have been worse than anyone could have imagined...

which is nice for us...

Another goal and a clean sheet and we'll be top 6 in 45 minutes time

wow... THAT was the goal from Hell

we'll see how this changes the complexion of the game...

And here was I waiting for our 3rd to shoot us a few more spots up the table. Looks like Carroll coming on.

great save by jussi to keep us in the game

we're dropping off too much now and giving QPR way too much time and possession... it'll bite us in the ass if we're not careful.

we really needed that third goal.

it's a game of two halves... with jussi now booked for timewasting...

if we throw this away it'll be a travesty...

Clunterberg is a cnut

this 2nd half is a nightmare...

Rangers down to 10 men

no cards in the first half... at least 11 so far in the 2nd...

carroll on...

off the cross bar from Vas Te... excellent save...

8th red card for us...

Yessssssssssssssssssssssss

That was tense.

Great result , Even better knowing that that pile of shit cole wont play manay from now on now that carroll is back thank fcuk, I still dont understand how cole did not score that chance !!?

Carroll or maiga HAVE TO START next week BFS

Yes!! I love West Ham! I love Carroll! Can we keep him, please ?! That picking down the ball, turning around and firing the rocket at the end was world class! Love it!

Typical West Ham you utter utter bastards

Next stop Arsenal. That would be a great one to win. Mind The Gap!

Gap down to Arsenal could be increased to 5 points muhaha that would piss off my friends, who love arsenal. Finally I could have something on those bastards! Now we will probably lose 0-3. GDay, mate

Fantastic little result that

Great performance - especially first half - and a terrific result. We didn't give QPR a kick first half. They were always going to have a dominant spell at some point. They were only going to score from a long range strike as we rarely let them near our goal. Our midfield trio of Noble, Diame and Nolan were awesome. Carlton. Oh dear son. A long period of bench-warming from now on I think. Andy Carroll just makes things happen

MoM a close one between Noble and Diame

Thoroughly enjoyed the game and thought we played very good in the first half , fighting for every ball . Second half we let them into the game a bit too much for my liking and what the fcuk with clusterfuck 11 yellows in one game , that must be a record , a disgrace to the game . Well done West Ham and bring on the gooners

I know BFS wont start Carroll against arsenal on saturday as he`s just coming back from injury but we really him to start saturday as he just seems not only to up Nolan`s game but the whole team seem feel more confident in firing long balls up carroll knowing that unlike Cole 99.9% of the time carroll will win them and get his knock downs to a West ham player
I would go with :
Jussi
Demel
Collins
Reid/Tomkins
McCartney
Jarvis
Nolan
Diame
Noble
Vaz Te
Carroll
SUBS:Henderson,Diarra,Taylor,Benayoun,Cole,Maiga,Tomkins/Reid

Would bring on Cole for last 20mins or so for Carroll to give the arsenal defence a rested
Would also bring on Benayoun for Vaz Te for last 20mins or so just to give us a bit more creativety going forward

Has to be said, my faith in Big Sam is very high, he is doing exactly the job we need him to do and getting results and keeping the squad happy and balanced. He even managed to turn what could have been the start of a rut (against wig wham) into a very decent away 3 points the very next game.

That was fun, wasn't it! Had to listen on the car radio coming back from a job, got a bit twitchy after they scored, with MacCartney and Tomkins on after that horror show against Wigan. Sounded like they coped alright anyway which is reassuring. Eight bookings though, that's ridiculous.
It would have been nice to see a picture of Fernandes' face at the end, but you can't have everything.

Stone me, seventh in the Prem!! I'm enjoying every minute of it while it lasts
