Amazing goal like. Pretty much on par with Zlatan's effort.

Looks like our luck with injuries last season hasn't carried through into this one

RAFA! Btw, got to say, what with Abramovich's unpredictability, Di Matteo being sacked doesn't come as a massive surprise. Would like to see what goes on in Abramovich's mind though, his logic in chopping and changing managers just isn't right.

So, as expected, City are losing? Good.

Still need a couple of new players to freshen it up a bit like...

Chomp anyone?

Can't beat a bit of keeper rush like.

Done and dusted

Nice.

Might just be the photo but he looks like he has bulked up a bit there. Aye, his waistline certainly has. Spending his '30 bags a week' wisely then! That's what happens when you go to Nandos every week.

Hmmm, looks like he's finally developed a bit of technique. Bridges are burnt though so there's nee chance he's coming back into the first team...

More touches in West Ham's box. His abilities are being put to good use then From what I've seen of him this season, he is being used in exactly the way we thought he'd be used - as a targetman. Still quite surprised that he hasn't scored a single goal for them though.

Still no goals in a West Ham shirt, correct?

Pardew's definitely feeling the pressure (what with his latest set of quotes). This current point in time is probably his biggest managerial test to date and one which I sincerely hope he succeeds in, for the sake of the club.

Fair play to the fuckers. It's a good result but no point in worrying about them "hitting" some form. Just have to concentrate on ourselves.

Football

Got to say, I'm not as pissed off with this loss as I was with last week's. Whether that's apathy or something else, I'm not too sure. I guess if I'm going to take a positive from this, it's that we did have a few decent spells of play before we conceded - you could take that as baby steps to where we want to be in terms of our style of play but one of our underlying problems still remains - we really do shit ourselves when we go 1 behind. We didn't really have anyone to rally the troops on the pitch when the going got tough.

So no change there then.

Think I'm going to sack off MOTD tonight. ESPN Goals it is for me then!

I don't want him anywhere near the team ever again. Heck, I'd sooner have Xisco in!

This used to be such a good idea (still could end up being a decent looking graph come the end of the season...)

My mate mentioned today that we should bring Ranger back into the first team because we "might as well inject some energy".

I'm going to ignore what Stone's said there and put it down to him having a few drinks ()

Ah the return of the Europa League, the only competition in which we've played some half decent stuff. Now this is a game I am looking forward to.
