Never thought I'd like reading something by Karen Brady but this is absolute gold. And the comments just cap it off!
She's finally seen the light.
Are you talking to me...
That's my new phone lockscreen sorted...
Great photo of Harry. But the thing that makes it is the expressions on the crowd behind. You can actually see the precise moment their hearts are broken....and got my new desktop background sorted too...

I am having trouble finding words describing this, it's certainly a good representation of West Ham United. I think someone needs to explain to him how a football works. To put it in words they will understand 'the ball is circle so will go bouncy when it hits things'.I have read some shit from those idiots regarding saturdays game but this one is my favourite and even by their clueless standards is unbelievable..

Re: West ham United v Tottenham Hotspur: Match Thread
Only saw it on motd but it wasn't as bad as I had feared.
I think Spurs were lucky to win.
Arnie's powerful run on goal should have been a stonewall pen. They got away with that.
Us losing Antonio was very lucky for them.
For their first goal Carroll shouldn't have been in that part of the pitch (& I agree with many on here who said he shouldn't have been on the pitch anyway, replacing Antonio) where he had to make a panicked blind pass in field & Kouyate shouldn't have let it go by him thinking that it was for someone else. It wasn't hit THAT hard.
That's 2 bits of luck, not good play by Spurs. The goal was then easy. I agree that the offside law is an ass but if that's the law about 1st phase, 2nd phase, there's nothing you can do. Kane gained an unfair advantage by being in an offside position in the 1st phase. Simple as that.
Their second goal was Carroll getting mugged waiting for the ball to come down near the halfway line but the resulting shot at our goal was well saved by Hart & could have rebounded absolutely anywhere. But no, it has to go STRAIGHT to the unmarked Kane, who couldn't really miss an open goal. So I consider that a lucky rebound, a lucky goal.
Their third goal came from a free-kick hitting our post because (I hope) Hart had it covered. Where that rebounded to, one of their players, was again, sheer luck. He takes a wildly off target shot that by chance hits & rebounds off our left back? player. Where does it fly off to? Could have gone anywhere but no, it has to go in-field finding Eriksen perfectly just in front of our penalty area with a clear line at goal. This was not clever, inventive play by Spurs. All 3 goals I consider, were very lucky & might not have gone in on another day.
Our first goal was made by a good header from Fonte & L'pea doing what we bought him for & our second goal a fantastic cross by Arthur & an unbelievable header from Kouyate that no keeper would have saved.
However, I DON'T think Carroll deserved a pen late on. I just think he jumped too early.
Both Reid & Nobles late efforts were very disappointing. Hit the bloody target.
So, I don't think they outplayed us at all.
Yes, we had a little luck with them losing a player but he wasn't unlucky getting sent off. He looks a bit of a liability on that performance.
Of course watching it on motd is totally different to watching it at the ground or even on sky.
In my native tongue there is a saying that roughly translates to "a bit of laughter extends your life". I am now immortal.I have read some shit from those idiots regarding saturdays game but this one is my favourite and even by their clueless standards is unbelievable..
