Mark Noble - West Ham Legend 500 up

[Pop Robson]

The board would do it if it benefits them £

Moving the Champions statue is uneccassary when they could have a new one made of say just Mooro in a WHU kit, but that would cost them £ more.

Number 6 is for a centre half anyway.

Case closed.

The bigger issue is Winston wearing number 2 and Pablo wearing number 5.

tell that to Mr Carrick when he played for us!

agree re reid and Pablo

[Jumby]

During a time when a centre half was wearing number 7, Carrick wearing 6 I could let off. How do we seem to get it so wrong, so often? Left backs wearing number 8, centre halves wearing 2 and 7, right backs wearing 5, strikers wearing 8, it doesn't help my OCD at all, they should bring in rules and regulations to stop this. The bloke in our team that plays left back always wants to wear 6 and I have to keep telling him 3!

how did you cope when bowyer took number 5.. or lomas number 11? we are terrible with numbers..

Bruised foot.
Now medically I don't know my arse from my elbow but I'm scratching my head on this one. My gut feeling is he could have played against WIgan. In my mind it was a brainless decision to leave him out.

I'm hoping he wanted to play and argued his case strongly to be included. If he didn't then this is a first from me, a critical post of our legendary captain.

Imo, whoever takes 16 when Noble goes will have big boots to fill

Is Reid not number 2 because uncle avram signed him as a right back, thus making that "his" number now?

[Colours never run]

Thought he had a very good game again tonight. We look so much better with him in it than not. Also good to see him link up with a much needed new player on his wavelength and ability on the ball.

Also, Noble must be one of the smartest players in the League to win us free kicks. Alaays feel confident when he has to shield a ball or ride an incoming tackle so we at least keep possession and regroup or manages to wriggle out of the challenge and do something with the ball more often than not.

Keeps up this form, Southgates gonna have to seriously think long and hard about the possibility of calling him up for a forthcoming friendly. Not many about that does what he does well in midfield and of course buries his penalties under pressure which is kind of a big thing at tournaments.

Looking class again of late, thought he was outstanding today. Zaba gave him freedom to do what he does.

As for England should have happened 2 years ago, didn't and unfortunately for him that ship has sailed I fear. He deserves a cap more than most who have been and gone around him.

[davids cross]

Best player on the pitch tonight.

His very best level comes and goes a bit nowadays.

But tonight I thought he was magnificent ......

[Pop Robson]

50 Goals now 1 behind DiCanio and joining him at no.30 in the all time top scorers

Closing in on Julian Dicks for the No.2 slot in the WHU Penalty Kings

[Jumby]

The legs have certainly not gone.

[Colours never run]

The legs have certainly not gone.

I particularly loved that moment where he re-collects a pass on the left hand touchline then decides to burst past the player in front of him running close to the touchline before doing something useful with the ball.

[davids cross]

He's found some form on the back of a small rest from the side.

Looks sharper on the back of it.

All the more reason to have extra quality in the midfield to allow him to rest and carry on for longer

[mattyD]

Hugely underrated, when he's not playing we have no coherence or team spirit. We'd better get someone in who can play CM, tackle, run and pass. At the moment I can't see us winning a game he doesn't start.

[kayahammer]

Fantastic performance. Moyes not picking him for the first game or two has really given Nobes a kick he really needed.

MOTM tonight

[Carlton'sGoal]

Excellent last night, thought he should've got MOTM.

Simply love the bloke.

[Hockley Hammer]

Excellent performance again tonight.

Glad Kouyate got MOTM as is was such a nice surprise to see the performance he gave. - back to his old self hopefully.
