Everton v West Ham United FC

we'd be totally out of this game if it weren't for Collins...

not sure i can be arsed watching another 35 mins of this

that me done

that's torn it...

everton crowd going mental...

and finally the non-stop Everton pressure results in a goal by Collins as he's forced to be a one man defense yet again but deflects the ball into his own net.

not a good day at the office for us... not a good day at all.

they should stop this game... it's a little unfair playing 11 on 2

seriously it's like we only have Collins and Jussi on the park... no one else is doing anything at all

it's kinda embarrassing

Norwich 3 -0 WBA
Sunderland 1 - 0 saints

saints now sit 17th as it stands

balls saints get one

"Carlton Cole... head in hands"

it's nice to see him playing the game the way I have to watch him...

wow... we actually had the ball for more than 2 seconds and even managed to mount an attack...

needless to say... Carlton totally managed to avoid the rebound off Howard.




collins goes in the book... he's tackling all the way up into midfield and getting a little frustrated...

On the plus side it means that the red scouse will finish below Everton

awww... crappola... Carroll rises for a beautiful header which Howard had no chance to stop... but it hits the post and bounces wide...

still... we've actually had a little bit of possession in the last few minutes... could it be that everton are getting bored... or tired...

I think even the Pool fans would concede, that was going to happen any way - we didn't need to get our arses handed to us

fortunately.. t'other results seem to be going our way to keep us safely in tenth place... although we totally don't deserve it on today's performance.


ooooh... corner to West Ham

Game over







although you could probably have realized that after about 5 minutes....

Well that was a tad embarrassing . I am going to place that at the top of my " Worst West Ham Games " list , Collins and Yussi , Men of the match for WH , I lost count how many balls were either too short or " Taxi " . Just because we are safe it dont mean you can start planning your hollibops while your at work ............. not good enuff WH , rrrrrrrreally disapointed

Not a great match from our point of view.....but we are improving up at Goodison, we lost 7-0 there once

Great reporting MonkeyMan

Note to West Ham United..........We've paid for a Cat A game next week and we wanna see one. Ok?

To be honest, today we had a squad of players that are looking forward to a few weeks on the beach (no world cup or euros this year)
against a side that most of them will be trying to play out of their skins for a move and contract at Man utd.

It's not even about the money for places... it's about pride.

you only work 9 months of the year... why would you sit back and take tenth in the table when there's a decent possibility that you could finish 8th?

why would you sit back and take a beating when you have the ability to hand one out?

football really frustrates me sometimes...

The away support should demand a full expenses refund , they travel the country with WH and not to watch that

when was the last time we gave that lot a kicking up there?
they are a side that have only lost 6 games all season .. there is a reason for that
we are years and years behind the blue scouse

Sam has a lot of work to do and a few players to bring in , cant wait for the Summer Silly Season

Big Sam bemoans Everton defeat
Big Sam was disappointed with his side's lacklustre showing in defeat at Everton

Sam Allardyce admitted West Ham United had been well beaten at Goodison Park, as Everton ran out convincing 2-0 winners in the Hammers' final away day of the 2012/13 Barclays Premier League season.
With manager David Moyes Old Trafford bound, his players certainly rose to the occasion on this, his Goodison swansong.
Belgian winger Kevin Mirallas was the star-turn on the day, netting either side of the interval in the sixth and the 60th minute to put the contest beyond the visitors.
In truth, it was the least the Toffees deserved and by Big Sam's own admission the margin of victory might have been even greater but for the interventions of goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.

"By the way we played today I have to say we were lucky to get away with the 2-0," he said. "There's only one player who has been outstanding for us today and that was Jussi Jaaskelainen. He made some absolutely outstanding saves."
Big Sam subsequently acknowledged that his opposite number's imminent departure had hardly helped his charges, with Everton's bright, inventive and high-tempo football proving tough to stifle.
He added: "I warned the players before the game what it was going to be like and it was exactly that and we simply couldn't cope with it today. It's always difficult coming here but this occasion made it even more difficult. And we saw that, not just by the performances of Everton players in possession, but by their performance without the ball.
"They gave us no time on the ball whatsoever. As soon as they lost it, they ran us down, they shut us down, they squeezed us and pressed us and we couldn't get anything because of the energy they showed."
Sunday's disappointment aside, Allardyce is still thrilled with his side's progress this term, in the knowledge that victory on the final day against Reading will guarantee the Hammers a top-ten finish.
"I've really enjoyed this season. Because we had such a fantastic start, we've never been in a relegation-threatened position. That's a massive relief for me as a manager and your players and your football club.
"That in itself has taken us to the position that we're in at the moment, tenth, with one game to go. We've never been lower than 14th, so it has been an outstanding season for us, in our first back in the Barclays Premier League."
Though the season is not yet done and dusted, preparations are already underway for the forthcoming campaign, with new recruits already on the agenda.
"[The next challenge] is adding players. We've got to get better and find more talent. We've got to make the squad bigger and better in terms of the personnel and the talent of the players."

Sam can bemoan all he wants. He was the one that picked Collison ahead of Joe Cole, O'Neil ahead of Noble and took Diame off at half time - and brought a tree on

The players, of course, have a lot to answer for as well. Just not good enough

Just 3 wins and 12 defeats away from home is poor. Our home form has kept us up. If we suffer second season syndrome at home next season and our away form carries on like it has this season we will be in deep shit

Sort it out Sam

No chance to watch or listen - thankfully - so all I've seen is a few words from BFS on the telly. If even he admits to thinking the players minds are on holidays in the sun then that's a pisspoor reflection on their attitude, and an insult to the best travelling support in the country. They did not pay a lot of money and travel hundreds of miles to see players going through the motions, and they have every right to be very annoyed.

And why does BFS keep subbing Diame??
