Not being antagonistic mate, just showing that you're talking shite. I have a feeling you do this a lot, you're very good at it.
Do you think the PL will give us more more points for playing better or having more possession than West Ham? No, of course they won't. All that matters is the result. West Ham played to a game plan, sooner you understand that not every game can be like watching Brazil of the 1970s the better...
Like fuck do you bitch about it after a positive result (of which we have far more than dissapointing ones).
Meh... Next time Ben plays a blinder you'll be all over his dick again... Bit like your 'sideways passing Winks' comments.
F.I.C.K.L.E.
Too much like Eriksen to be fair, and in my opinion no where near as good. Can we imagine if we has Zaha (or similar) in that side tonight, a Mahrez? I am not familiar with a lot of European players that sit behind a striker but i don't believe that there isn't one out their that wouldn't mind playing for a top PL side and fancy his hand at CL footie?
Same old, same old, rinsing and repeating isn't working and in fairness may have cost us a title a couple of seasons ago. We offer no surprise element, give teams far too much time to settle their defence when we get the ball to the extent that even Stevie Wonder could spot out next pass.
Sounds like 30 million well spent .
Nice one Danny.
No, next time Ben Davies plays a 'blinder' - I will praise his performance. He hasn't got the ability of a Danny Rose or even an Assou-Ekotto, but if he performs well enough I will praise him. I've always said he's a steady player, probably best suited to being a left sided centre back where he excels for Wales but as a wing back, in a Pochettino team, he does not and will never be good enough as a long term solution.
Again, not sure how that's fickle and if it is, then every one on this forum could be labelled with the exact same word.
Good point.... One that has been all but forgetten by most since his time out injured.
BBC:
- In four London derbies in all competitions under David Moyes, West Ham have managed just three shots on target. However, they've scored two of them, and have lost just once (W1 D2).
- Son Heung-min has been directly involved in 12 goals in his last nine home games for Tottenham in all competition (seven goals, five assists).
- Spurs have never lost a Premier League game on a Thursday (P11 W6 D5 L0) - it is the highest number of games played
- Harry Kane has scored just three goals in his last 10 Premier League London derby matches, failing to find the net on eight occasions in that run.
by a team on a specific day without defeat in the Premier League era.
But if we had a Zaha in the side tonight - he'd have been knocked off the ball numerous times and we wouldn't have been given any decisions. I also don't see what Zaha would have added that Son didn't. They both like to attack their full backs, yet Son is more productive at doing so.
I do however agree with Mahrez, then again we've been dying out for a player like Mahrez for years. Someone with low centre of gravity, ability to either take on his man or cut inside and provide a moment of magic. It's why I wouldn't be against having Edwards on the bench for games like this. Gotta be better than having 3 central midfielders on the bench!?
Assou Ekotto ? Do fuck off
Oh come on, Assou-Ekotto during the 2009-10 season was incredible.
It was fine margins and ifs and buts. Should have won, could have won. Out played them. Its easy to defend/spoil but much hard to create/attack. they dont deserve any credit.
Lets move on . COYS

This is where we differ.
And again with the condescending tone. “Sooner you understand that”. Do me a favour. I’m well aware of the concept of winning ugly but I’d never want to see us take it to that extent.
You’re just contradicting yourself now. This started with you moaning that the game was boring yet now ur saying not every game can be like watching Brazil. Either ur praising West Ham for having an “anti Brazil” game plan to get a result, which is fine if u admire that, or ur criticising us for making it a boring game for the way we played.
My point was they made it a boring game not us. If they showed any ambition to play us it would have been a more open entertaining game. I don’t really see how ur arguing the toss on that other than digging ur heels in for the sake of it.
Imo he was good when he had Bale in front of him and we were bossing games other than that he could be a liability defensively and was never anywhere near as good as Davies was the back end of last season.
Go in to 2.03
Gold, Sullivan and their hoe will be really chuffed, not to mention the players.

Jesus Christ.
Where to start?
After all is said and done there is only 1 factor that stopped us winning that game.
Guillem and his book.
(And maybe the Wembley curse).
So glad West Ham have an Academy of Football.
Absolute joy to watch them play the beautiful game in the style and verve of 1966.

Just back - nothing much to add to the last few pages except to add my voice to the chorus. I don't like saying it, but I have not got the faintest idea what Poch continues to see in Sissoko. He is terrible on the ball, terrible off the ball, positionally inept and he just keeps on getting worse, week after week. But he does keep picking him..... So a big welcome back for Vic, and hurry up Toby.
Wham were complete shite, Bobby Moore would be ashamed - so fair play to the away fans for actually paying and travelling to watch that crap every week. Sadly though, their chants of "score in the morning" were depressingly apposite.
Lol what ridiculous thing to say. True, but you just don’t say that. Talk about alienating ur own dressing room. Such a terrible manager.
