Haha has that sad act joined using another log-in??
Oh dear, did they win a trophy or something or was 1980 still their last trophy?

They should reintroduce the Cup Winners Cup and only have an English entrant if West Ham beat us cause it's their cup final. That way they might get to Europe without the fair play route and they might last there more than 5 seconds.Haha has that sad act joined using another log-in??

I must admit their recent attempts to get to the group stages of the Europa have been hilarious..
You should have seen how much time they spent working out the coefficient point system as to how they would be seeded in the groups..
When you go 37 years without a trophy and boing boing up and down the leagues, then you tend to search for any crumb of comfort.
By their numbskull reckoning a late run could get them top4 this season
Look at the scenes and celebrations going on at Forset.. Going mental because they managed to stay in the Championship.. That will be Spam in a few years time..
It is weird reading through the thread seeing responses to his quotes when you have not seen the original quotes because they have been wiped out when he was blocked.
West Ham back to 12th - They dropped 3 places in the biggest weekend in their history...
That next level looks the bestest fun ever..

Its funny that West Ham fans went on the raz Friday night and are still celebrating hardcore
Cold light of day though, they still have to play at the OS 19 times again next season.

Don't forget Chelsea bottling it against Palace & Man Utd, allowing a 13 point gap to drop to 4. That's real bottling it
I am re-watching the game for my sins and a few things stand out:
1) That is a properly shit, quiet stadium.
2) Spurs fans still outsung Wham. Which makes sense, as Spurs fans are fully evolved human beings with the power of speech.
3) Hugo was right, we were a bit complacent and sloppy. It could be the mental fatigue of having to constantly chase with no margin for error.
4) We played far too narrow with less of the lateral switches we've used to stretch teams.
5) Regardless, West Ham, at their best, are only as good as us at our literal worst.

Quite. They also seem to be forgetting the existential crisis they all had on KUMB when they were forced to walk through the construction site of our new stadium and compare it to their own shoddy rental.
Obviously, a scratchy 1-0 win where the goal came from a clusterfuck of deflections makes that problem go away.
Stayed away for a couple of days to let the dust settle.
Having reflected on things and got over my initial disappointment, I am still immensely proud of what we have achieved this season.
I also just reminded myself that when all is said and done, things could be worse, we could be West Ham.
I mean really, who in their right mind could stomach that?

Exactly.....when all is said and done, and Friday is forgotten (as it already has been by everyone except West Ham), ask both sets of fans if they would have their clubs trade places.
Awkward

In a weekend where they think they have won the CL, at the end of it, they have dropped 3 places to 12th in the league and 35pts behind us and we have secured CL football.
In the cold light of day, who would you rather be?
This is my summary of why we lost
1- Lacklustre and tired -I remember even towards the end kane was trying to get everyone to speed up but they looking around shell-shocked
2- Dier+ Wanyama did not work in midfield- Massive problem distributing the ball, hence all the sideway and backward passes. Didn't help that West Ham were playing 4 in midfield.
3 - Walker's positioning - too far forward , did he think we were playing 3 at the back?
4- Poor use of substitutions ( refer to 1), if they were tired we could have started one of sissoko, jassen ect . That's the whole point of rotation.

Poor ball transition in the midfield. Looked disjointed the whole match. Not sure why, because that's usually their best attribute.
Ericksen's directs and corners were shit again. No excuse of drilling into the first defender.
Spam's keeper played out of his skull or we'd got at least a point.
Davies whiffed on the header clearance, giving WH their goal.

Some credit has to go to Bilic imv - he nulIfield our passing rhythm and never allowed our ball-players to build up any continuity or momentum. I don't think he's a managerial buffoon at all
