If that was parking the bus then it was the shittest version of it I've seen in some time. What we know about Jose though is how adept he is at shutting up shop. Given we have no problem taking leads that would be massive.I don't think it could be described as parking the bus(I wish we had). Different opinions and all thatOur defence still needs a lot of work,one thing that did come out of yesterday,that and the fact the game lasts 90 minutes,not 70. Pleased,but very much a work in progress still.

I am a huge fan of Sissoko but he was poor when he came on, Eriksen did nothing either. Fatigue was a factor, as was Antonio’s power. Very happy with the win, we will improve under Jose. You could tell we were nervous, it’s great to get that away win, I believe we win midweek to qualify, then Bournemouth and the team will be flying.
And the two footed studs up challenge on Son didn’t get overruled to a red..
Now I don’t disagree with any of that and what you describe is spot on which doesn’t equate to parking the bus..That’s a tag line that others will use at every opportunity..I really wanted us to get a few so that wouldn’t be used. If it was a dull 0-0 that would be splattered all over the back pages.
The manager conducted himself very respectfully before the game, during it and after as well.
Couldn’t have gone any better for him.
In the first minute, when's Glenn's talking, it's funny to see the "THIS IS THE WORLD'S STAGE" banner behind him. I presume the word "THIRD" had fallen off

That caused much amusement yesterday.. The irony was astounding.l
Also, I didn't see that part of the build up, but what Joe Cole says there about the snide "acidic" types, although he doesn't know the Spurs dressing room, you just know he's talking about Eriksen. Every interview I've ever seen with him, back in the positive days, he was always exactly that, "acidic", usually very funny with it too. As things went south you can imagine the snide aspect replacing the humour.
In other news, Cole has improved a lot as a pundit. His accent will always work against him, it's hard not to see him as thick as shit, but he's definitely got much better. Spoke sense, was very even handed, he's even become more eloquent - at half time he said "As Glenn has alluded to..." which beats "What this bloke just said..."
Respect!
Apparently we should be worried....
We were that bad...
I genuinely believe that if the new coaching team had been in charge since the beginning of October instead of last week that would have been 0-5.
Not saying we are superb,just acknowledging they are fucking awful.
Antonio is a good player though. He embarrassed the rest of his team with the effort he put in in such a short space of time.

You mean about 2:10 right? The look of just general disapproval from Rose is so funny, thinking someone fucked up bad here.
behind Glenn the stadium looks like a half finished building site.
I kind of imagine West Ham as the setting for a post apocalypse football game. Stuck in the middle of a god forsaken non-mans lands ruled by a dictatorial midget and a few lackeys with the hideous masses kept at bay by distance and a giant moat around the pitch filled with piss and shit as the poor unfortunate fans are forced to cheer for a game they cannot see with players they do not know.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse

I also got emails asking what it was like to be ‘cut’
They got a suitable reply
According to latest reports,Karren Brady's arse is easier to spot by 85% of the crowd on match days, than the centre circle or the opposite corner flag. Allegedly...
Rice is shit isn’t he, how’s he playing for England?
Still would
He’s a placeholder for Dele
To be fair to him he performed better as a CB than either of their actual centre backs yesterday.
Insanely over-rated tho. Always looks ropey in an England shirt imo.
He ain’t a bad player but Winks is a far better footballer ability wise and the shit he gets on this forum just imagine Rice.
We do need another DM to compete with Dier and we need a top of the range, that isn’t Rice. If it wasn’t for constant injuries I’d probably take Antonio from them, horrible to play against.
