I made a calculated decision to give him the job of taking a penalty,” the No16 continued.
“That job is usually mine. I remember thinking about it the night before. I wasn’t convinced but, when we were awarded the penalty, I decided to give him the ball because I thought, ‘He’s our main man, we need him to score goals this season’.

32 from 36 pens scored for Noble now 88% sucess rate, 2 more to equal Julian Dicks in 2nd Place after Tonka
Not that we get many anymore, must be too honest in the box

I heard several people say that they knew he wouldn't miss.
I knew it too.

Re: Mark Noble - West Ham Legend
Late on this I know but echo this completely. I don't understand why a West Ham fan would be so myopic about our captain; i might have some comprehension of it, (after all every player's fair game) but to only post on one thread with nothing but negativity is nuts.sicknote wrote:Brooking
Have a day off
You are getting tedious and trolling this thread just repeating the same cobblers every day , we know your view it’s piss poor but we don’t have to be told it every day
And putting the crest in your posts doesn’t add value to your posts and validate your opinion , in fact it devalues the crest having you associate it with your opinion
I know I'll miss him like mad when he's gone - not through some sentimental 'one of our own' loyalty (although i admit that still matters to a good degree), but for the fact that he might be the last classic example of the home-bred West Ham midfielder...a heritage of variable talent that stretches from the likes of Phil Woosnam in the early 60's through Martin Peters, Boycie, Patsy, Pike, Geno, Devo (via Southall), Dickens, Ince, Lampard, Carrick, Cole, Collison et al.
Nobes has been as good or better than a few of them, inferior to many of them, but he's been picked by more managers than any of them - not by a collective agreement of fans, but by a plethora of managers with radically different ideas of how to play football.
I scarcely hear any alternatives to replace Nobes either from those who value him and want to upgrade or more pertinently those who don't value him and think he's crap. 8 managers of varying value have done so, though.
There is an admitted level of sentiment regarding my love of Nobes (i confess to wanting to cling to the last vestiges of what we were about), but he's so much more than that. He's a proper player - edging towards the end of his career, but someone who has been far, far more than a mere Cockney figurehead for our club.
15 years playing for us in all sorts of circumstances, under 8 bosses - respect due.

Re: Mark Noble - West Ham Legend
We've already got another one in Declan Rice. And if anyone got funny about how he ain't a product of our Academy, then they couldn't accept Noble either - Originated at Chelsea and Arsenal respectively. Both are WHU Academy graduates, as far as I'm concerned.WestHamByTheSea wrote: but for the fact that he might be the last classic example of the home-bred West Ham midfielder...a heritage of variable talent that stretches from the likes of Phil Woosnam in the early 60's through Martin Peters, Boycie, Patsy, Pike, Geno, Devo (via Southall), Dickens, Ince, Lampard, Carrick, Cole, Collison et al.

Re: Mark Noble - West Ham Legend
Yep, no argument there CNR- was one of those when i clicked the 'send' button I retrospectively thought of Deccers (I say unconvincingly!). Perhaps I only left him out cos he's still a work in progress but you are of course right. It almost feels like Rice is so good that its inevitable he'll be off soon, but yep, he's certainly been schooled in the West Ham classic midfielder tradition.Colours never run wrote:

Your not the first to say this, so I'm sure there's something in it, but I don't get it. Why would we no longer produce a decent midfielder from the academy?WestHamByTheSea wrote: ..... the fact that he might be the last classic example of the home-bred West Ham midfielder...a heritage of variable talent that stretches from the likes of Phil Woosnam in the early 60's through Martin Peters, Boycie, Patsy, Pike, Geno, Devo (via Southall), Dickens, Ince, Lampard, Carrick, Cole, Collison et al.

Re: Mark Noble - West Ham Legend
Both played for The Academy, so both qualify as Academy graduates. Domingos Quina - a similar acquisition from a rival club at a young age - never played for The Academy. He went straight to the U23 side. He is therefore not an Academy graduate. I don't think Jermain Defoe played for The Academy either.Colours never run wrote: We've already got another one in Declan Rice.

Re: Mark Noble - West Ham Legend
Come to think of it, Diangana looks to be another one. I don't see why we can't produce them ever again.Longaz wrote:

Leon
Defoe played in the U18s Academy. He arrived as a 16yo from Charlton having spent just over a year in Charlton's Academy. Truth be told, he's Senrabs 'graduate' more than anyone. However that doesn't mean both Charlton and West Ham can't make a claim of influencing his career at a young age either, working closely with the likes of Tony Carr.

He would easily have surpassed all those if West ham were awarded all the penalties we should have had. :shock:Pop Robson wrote:33 from 37 pens scored for WHU by Noble now 89% sucess rate, 1 more to equal Julian Dicks (34) in 2nd Place after Tonka on 76
