hit team against another st team today, the least st team will win.
See BFS has been giving all the reasons it's gone tits up,one of them being fatigue.. we were out of he two cups early FFS.
It's not the players who are fatigued of it,it's the fans.

Was it ever any different?

[Hammer67]

Will WH ever nail it? This season BFS has discovered a brand new way to fk things up. Instead of the standard st start followed by a struggle to survive, he`s got it completely arse about face.

The way he's turned a promising looking team that scored goals back into the same old negative ste from previous seasons is, frankly depressing.

<shakes head in resignation>

[sjc]

It began when he started cherry picking what games we were happy to lose, and made God knows how many changes against the Parisien KKK.Lost all the momentum after that.

Disappointed that CC didn't get the goals.

Chris Hoy leading at Silverstone, but unfair though as he's rocked up in a LM spec racecar.

Watched on MOD. Adrian really played a blinder but what was Collins doing with his hands raised like that? Not great following hos OG last week.

And now that "top half" finish that Allardyce was bragging about looks less and less likely. Down to 11th now and could well finish 12th with the way Palace are going.

Now doubt BFS will still smile and say it's the best the Hammers have done for decades and ask what do the fans expect?

[TCEvo]

Yep, very depressing and boring finish.

Said it before but should've invested more at Xmas and brought in someone more effective than nene (or at least let him play).

Saw Adrian's saves on MOTD though - top work, especially the one he flicked over with his left hand.

[pincher]

Are there actually any players that BFS has brought in during the January transfer window that have a) got much playing time and/or b) been effective?

[TCEvo]

No. Nene's barely featured (although had a hand in our goal against Sunderland). Think that the Canadian bloke was always one for the future (and is injured for the rest of the season anyway).

Don't think there were anymore signings. Can't blame manager solely for that though IMO.

[TCEvo]

Entertaining game, much improved from the last home game. Another day it could've been 3 or 4 nil, a high scoring draw or Burnley win.

Good pen from Nobes, thought Nolan was excellent, Valencia, Amalifitano and Jenkinson all stood out but MOTM rightly for ginger Pele. Couple of great saves from Adrian.

[RichB]

Assume you were at the game? Any reason why Nene did't get a go instead of Cole?

p.s. on the TV they said Noble's penalty was poor but it rolled in and the goalie went the wrong way.

Sorry I must have been watching a different match.

I thought we just about managed to scrape a result at home against 10 men of the worst team in the Premiership.

I went expecting nothing & quite enjoyed it; particularly based on the ste that was served up in against stoke.

We were dominant (unsurprisingly) after the sending off & should have scored & should have won by a larger margin but they should probably have scored one of their early chances.

We'll play like s again against everton in a couple of weeks

He did - came on 5 mins or so before Cole - had a couple of touches. Cole headed over the bar shortly after coming on.

Pen aside Nobes was terrible - I think he's been watching a compilation video of scott parkers best 360's recently.

I would like to see Nene start a game or at least be given more time. In the brief appearances I've seen he looke good.

[TCEvo]

I can't see him starting a game now but agree that he ought to be given more playing time especially as we're struggling for goals at the moment. He is very slow though.

[bad company]

Just watched on MOTD. I thought the sending off was wrong yesterday and the TV pics confirmed it.

Burnley all in black looked a whole team of referees.
