Whilst many of you will have one eye or one ear open on this match of little consequence, I'm sure you'll agree that it doesn't deserve it's own thread. So, I've added it to this one, just in case there is or more likely any of you should feel the need to

As far as I’m concerned this match is not going ahead.
I refute any result tonight on the grounds that it is extremely unfair to pit a team of little footballing skills against a team as knowledgeable as the City team is. The closest resemblance I can think of is an under 8 D division team playing a top under 8 A division team and the A division team winning by a large margin even when they are messing about.
Of course if we win 7 nil then please disregard anything I have written above.

Over two legs,
lucky it was only 9 and not 15
the blue mancs are now one of the best in europe
and we are at the moment mid table championship standard with no captain on the field and a manger now lost

Just how awful has Razvan Rat been in the last two games? Truly awful. Tonight - No marking for the opening goal. Rolling around on the floor for the second
His distribution, work rate and positioning on Saturday were dreadful too. A result of the general malaise at the club or have we got a "pup" ??

Led out by Fat Shams useless bum boy Nolan (who spent most of the game sniggering with the city players) for another abject and inept performance more humiliation, betrayal and disgrace which is embarrassing for us as fans and sees us continue to be a laughing stock to our rivals and our identity and DNA continues to be frittered away.
Same old excuses spouted out by the hippo headed Cnut of a manager whose side conceded 3 and couldn't score against a Man city side who were only ever in first gear and combined with championship Forest has seen us loose two cup ties 14-0 !!!!
As for the league (and correct me if I'm wrong) Fat Sham has never won two prem games in a row while in charge of us so how the feck Is he gonna keep us up and still nothing is being done by the spineless shylock owners to rectify the shambles of team and club they, their witch Brady (WTF does she actually do) and Allardyce have created !!!
(Oh and ps, not forgetting Terry Brown who is a lifetime non acting director)

Due to a multi-car pile-up on the A2 at Dartford Heath, my dad and I missed the entire first half yesterday. Listening to the game on Talksport, we were 2-0 down (8-0 on aggregate) before we'd even reached the Blackwall Tunnel. Most sane people would have turned round and headed for home but we got there, parked up, walked 10 minutes to the ground and were in the ground seconds into the second half. This determination to get to the ground was either down to loyal commitment or blind stupidity (certainly not hope or faith - there was no point in that). The place was empty and soulless. My whole block was pretty much person-free so we sat with my cousin and his 7-year-old son, seeing as they had a row to themselves a bit further along in the West Lower.
Not much to say about the game as it was a non-event. Ravel should have had a penalty. On to Chelsea.

Blind stupidity, like all your retort's to me defending the incompetent decision makers running our club who threw two cup games buy a total of 14-0, mugging off fans ( even you but you seem to like it) and see us in the bottom three, heading for relegation and a laughing stock to our rivals and hey, let's not forget Fat Shams first press conference,
""Whats the West Ham way, losing and yoyo ing up and down leagues, Im asking fans to judge me on results, if I fail then criticise until then support the team, I dont care what fans say bout me just look at my record""
You deserve each other

HH - I don't refer to your comments as stupid so I'd prefer it if you didn't label my retorts as such. I respect your opinion, whether I agree with it or not, and it'd be appreciated if you could do the same.

I think we are all a bit crazy to support the Hammers in the way we do. And I agree, HH there is no point taking your frustration out on people on this board. Write to the directors, care of Upton Park, at least that way you will be venting your spleen at the subject of your annoyance.alfiehammer wrote:Well put.

I simply used a phrase from Dans post that he used about himself, and used it to describe all his Allardyce loving posts in retort to my anti Allardyce posts,
I've been told on here a number of times that I'm talking absolute bollox etc, I don't take it personally or complain.
