West Ham vs Spuds - CackyBoo Cup -- Halloween 2018

and that did I tell you?

an attack... Chchairto and Sanchez don't get anywhere... the ball comes out... slips through our defense to let Son go one on one with Adrian and the player who hadn't scored since March... now has two in this game...

should I cancel my subscription right now?

or at least suffer through the end of the game?

there's still 35 minutes to go...

Double Sub...

Obiang off Perez on

chicharito off --- Arnautovic on

33 mins to go, all three subs used... three goals needed at a minimum

it's all West Ham since Arnie took over...

threads a ball in across the sprawling keeper but the Spuds defense keep it out

corner comes in... looping cross across the box avoids everyone...

West Ham press again... by sending the ball back to Adrian...

Spuds get in a bit of possession to take the pressure off and then sub Delli Alli...



28 minutes to go and we're still not at the races in terms of anything that actually matters.

succession of maybe half a dozen attempts on goal... each one blocked until the keeper finally pushes the ball out for a corner

Arnie takes a knock and is hobbling...

over 20 minutes to go and we got no more subs and can't afford to be without Arnie ever...

relentless pressure... corner... corner...

Lucas Perez unmarked on the back post and heads it down into the ground so it bounces up into the top of the net...











this is the bit where they call it game on.

some twat invades the pitch as Spuds try to take a corner...

and there you have it...

totally against the run of play... a beautiful volley into the back of the net.

his first goal since FEBRUARY!!!!!

don't say West Ham aren't the gift who keeps on giving...

fupp me... the goals scorer was being subbed... he scores and then walks off the pitch...

fuckers...

WH fans are leaving already and the atmosphere has gone...

Arnie loops a cross over to the waiting Antonio but he can only send an equally looping 'shot' way wide...


Spuds as you would expect... well back in this and enjoying a decent spell of possession

Spuds taking all the pace and urgency out of the game... dawdling towards another substitution...

another pitch invader...

bit of a penalty area scramble where we fail to score again...

maybe VAR will come to our rescue... maybe not...

4 minutes to be added on to what has become a pointless game...

and now the ESPN+ app has gone dead... well I guess that answers pretty much all my questions...

thanks for listening to me drivel.

Happy Halloween

Just got back.

West Ham (those that could'nt care less) 1 - Spurs (those that wanted it) 3.

Wish I had not gone, what a waste of money.

Glad we are out of this because our hero's need to concentrate on the league otherwise thing could look bleak come the end of season.

Some major problems with some of our players. Did not have a clue.

Well disappointed with the result and the way we played Wednesday night. I think the only two players who could come out with any credit were the two youngest on the pitch for us Rice & Dianganna. Brilliant to see Pelligrini sticking to his words about using youth as previous managers have promised but not really delievered bar Rice last season under Moyes.

That Dianganna is certainly looking like haveing the poteinal to become a very good player hopefully for us in the future.

I've always loved watching our "babies" come through ............. been a long time since we had anyone of 
Declan and Grady's calibre.   

Long may they progress in the claret and blue...
