JH Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Funniest bit about the goal for me, was Friedels reaction. The ball gets stuck between his knees and he slides in the net with it, then he sits holding the ball, very clearly inside the net, but then he appears to think no-one might have seen it and then moves the ball back outside/over the line, almost in some vein attempt to claim it hadn't gone in. Aye, noticed that as well The best bit was his overdramatic "OH FUCK! THE BALL'S IN THE NET!" look before he moved the ball onto the line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I've always liked Friedel, seems like a top bloke, as well as good goalie-man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If he continues his current form , he'll break Shearer's/Cole's record for most goals in a season in fewer games. Like a boss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 He's top quality, when he controls a ball and turns at the opposition he looks superb, he can use either foot and is a decent header too. I never doubted it - he was class at Hoffenheim and West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Makes you realise just how pathetic West Ham were last season. They had the juggernaut in their team steaming in and scoring goals for fun and they still got relegated. Joke of a team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Where's ujpest atm? Hasn't been near this thread much. Had absolute faith he'd do well, such a natural goalscorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 An incredible signing really. The guy is proving that he will always score goals. Has just carried on where he left off at West Ham last season. That knee issue was a blessing to us in the end. We would have had no chance of signing him otherwise.

Guest Bateman Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 hi, westham fan here. good to see BA banging them in, biggest regret of relegation was losing him. Took a gamble and he looked quality from day 1 and showed up Cole and the others. Shame you couldn't have beaten spurs at the end but great finsh from shola. Be good to see Ba get 20+ goals always says the right things and has quality to back it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bateman Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 nolan is a strange one. a lot of fans around me at the ground absolutly hate him. he is slow and the game appears to pass him by most the time. on the flip side it the first bloke since Lucas Neil who actually talks and motivates players. probably good for the division but think 5yrs is a stretch, can't imagine he could possibly get much slower though.

That's essentially the Nolan we watched for his entire time here. When he wasn't scoring he was generally a drag on the team. Games used to pass him by time and time again and if it wasn't for Tioté last season he'd have been exposed excruciatingly. Not bitterness mate, I'll always love him for his goals against Sunderland - but I'm delighted that we got rid of him when we did and I'm stunned that another team was willing to give him 5 years.

Guest Bateman Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 what sort of football are you playing (only saw highlights), as big sam didn't have the best reputation for the style he was pushing up here ? percentage football i think you'd call it. compared to avram grant its actually not bad though defenders actually seem to know what defending is. 2 years ago would have been outcry and protests has Sam been appointed. seems to be getting accepted which shows how poor we've been over the passed 2/3 years. last manager who played 'the west ham way' (love this idea but i've been going for 30+ yrs and seen some v poor football) was Pardew who basically got bent over by the icelanders and he was rumoured to have an affection for players wifes... every hammer i know would love him back though, good to see him doing well with you lot, hopefully be playing you next year he'd get a great reception as always.
