Yeah, agreed with all that, although for me the change was the wrongly disallowed goal, which was certainly against the run of play.

Whether it was the injustice that woke us up or whatever, but from that moment on we were on top, increasingly so.

My niece thought the red card was the "key moment", but I think the "sea change" if you like was a lot earlier.

Romero having a goal disallowed woke him up in a way. And he rallied the troops.

I'll call people out for being needlessly negative during a positive. If that's deemed problematic then so be it. I personally want to roll with the good times though. Only one league game ago we were pretty woeful so it's good to see the plan come together. I'm not about to lump on a 20 something year old who was played out of position to give one of our starters a rest when we are still handily winning the match.

Do you mind if I give Tel a low score in the player ratings for this game?

They're debating whether Jose or Ireola should replace Potter.

Apparently both would jump at the chance to join a 'big club' like theirs!

Iraola no chance.

I could see Jose taking it but Jose is finished, would make West Ham even more toxic than what they are now. Jose might take the West Ham job then be sacked 1-2 years later and be getting championship jobs after that. He is in the fat Elvis period of his career.

Seriously though

I'd love to know who he is referring to

I never hide regardless of whether we win or lose , sure I may be a little more over the top when we lose , letting off steam as you say

But I don't disappear when we win , I also see you posting after wins too

Just chatting shite as usual

Exactly. I'd bet on any football forum of any club, Spurs or otherwise, there will be posters who post more after a defeat, and others who post more after a win. Just the nature of football fandom. Just don't understand why some people feel the need to melt over the issue 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, great win tonight mate. I said earlier I was a bit nervous going in to this one but the lads seemed to play with a freedom that was missing so much last season.

I was particularly impressed with the way they didn't let the farcical disallowed goal affect them. If anything it seemed to galvanise the team to right the wrong.

I really enjoyed the game. It really felt like a dark cloud has finally been lifted. Positivity and Unity seems to finally be returning.

Did you see supposedly one of our own cunting him off earlier?

I despair sometimes.

I don’t think he can though, he loves being a manager, he will be managing Sunday league games if that is all was available.

Best he can do is international management which is slower and more about on the day tactics to stop the opposition which is his bread and butter.

Outside of West Ham who would take him. He isn’t good enough for most prem teams. The game has moved past him now.

Agree but I like to think he still thinks himself above West Ham lol
