Haven't read the rest of this thread but just wanted to say I did not think I'd ever see a West Ham side play with that level of courage, commitment and determination to win. It was a heroic effort summed up best by one man: Anton Ferdinand - this guy is a monster and we have a truly world class defender in the making.

Special mention in dispatches to Clive Clarke who coped manfully out of position and deserves a run at left back after another shaky display from Konch.

Shaka! I love this guy! 8-) Should keep his place IMO.

Matty: showed real quality when we had possession; some lovely long balls to the front men.

NRC and Hayden: 'The Dynamic Duo' never gave Silva and Diaby a seconds peace.

Zamordinho: proving me right every game! Get in Z Man!

Big Deano. He's a big lump aint he?! He's got a backside like a cow's banjo! An immaculate debut IMO. Held the ball up superbly and did not give the ball away once, which was exactly what was required. Believe me he's gonna be good and Pards has got a real selection headache up front now. Is there any way to play all three?

Last but not least; The Gaffer: baffled me completely in the second half by switching back to 4-4-2 and had me ****ing him off at the telly. Just shows to go you why he's a Premiership manager and I'm not!
U Da Man!

"You're looking rather chipper this morning" noted my boss as I staggered in this morning with a stinking hangover and a massive grin.

"You're not ****ing wrong there, boss!" was the only sensible reply.

Arsenal are woeful away from "the library" but devastating at home. Only Manyoo and the Scum have taken points off em. I fear a plucky but fruitless encounter 3-1 Harewood consolation pen near the end. sorry :(
OK so what do I know!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all of you that predicted a win, I will learn from my mistakes and accept my sincere apologies for ever doubting our club. Unbelievable result and gutted I wasn't there to see it.

Oh dear just got home from the game....ended up with a few gooners who thought it would be a good idea to do some little fellas after the game....perhaps they needed cheering up, the next thing i know it was loads of chop chop, down to SoHo at 2 and crawling out of a drinking den at 8.....


Come on you Irons :lol:

Henry is French, moaning is a compulsory subject at school in France. They're lobbying for it to get put in the Olympics.

Total agony!

Sat in the Clock End with all the gooners 7 seats from the away fans and not able to join in the "Let's go f**king mental" celebrations!

Suppose it was worth it though :wink:

Highbury 1913 - 2006.........and we left it behind with 3 points under our arm!

Come on you Irons!!!

What was great about last night is that we won DESPITE that cheating, bent, bribed, blind lino. What a shocker he had. I don't suppose anyone watching on tele would have been able to pick it up but anyone who was there will know what i mean.

Thought Anton was pick of the bunch last night. Or Zamora.

Great team effort though, good to see the players coming over to us at the end too. Bring on Bolton.

So proud to be a Hammer this morning. Bollocking from wife because every time we scored I jumped up yelling and the cat hit the ceiling. Real hard work, spot-on tactics and life is just great. Roll on Saturday. :D :D :D :D :D
