Nicky Shorey is on Golas on SUnday at the moment. He said all his family are Arsenal fans and he used to go and watch them as a kid. Quite where the idea came from that he is Hammer though and though I don’t know. I suppose it partly explains why he didn;t seem desperate to move to us.
Three nil to the cockney boys! Having seen the goals now I am even more encoraged by Etherington and Bellamy’s performances. If they can continue that sort of interlinking, we’re going to have a very enjoyable season.
spot on. passing and movement were excellent.
so what if we didnt get shorey – looks over-rated to me anyway. i was hoping we would get a left-back and he seemed like the logical choice but i have to say solano is a better signing. a proven quality player who will make our team better.
west ham are looking much stronger, a tidy premiership team – not far from being a top six team if they can carry on improving.
but we cant get carried away, we’ve only beat reading – we need to beat better teams than them this year. shorey will regret not joining us, but we wont regret not getting him
a left sided english winger with pace, just what the national side need. joe cole will not be getting many games with malouda in his current form so he may not be in the england reconing. however, i hope he remembers where his roots are come january!
Yes, it was a good performance from Etherington (good job we didn’t sell him) and excellent from Bellamy. Other players who have been getting a bit of stick who did well, in my opinion, were Neil, McCartney Ferdinand and Mullins. The keeper was on rop form, too.
So a lot of positives, all in all.
Dean Ashton looked well off the pace to me, but he’ll be ‘back’ soon, hopefully.
Can Nobby Solano run quicker than Lee Bowyer? Let’s hope so.
Who need Shorey?
If they dont want to play for us thats fine.
But dont think Arsenal will want him.
When we are in Europe they will wish they came and I hope Curbs laughts at them.
Rant over
Ethers was whizzing up the wing, made some fantastic assists too, Our counter attack is what won the game for us, counter attack is a killer if your not prepared for it in training, which Reading obviously was not, Now if Curbs and the other coaching staff work on techniques like they did for the reading game than all our matches to come will be exciting, We obviously know we wont win all of them, but we will scare the likes of Manure and Arseolenal when they fear going in to attack.
Practice makes perfect, exactly what Hammers did yesterday and the days before the game..
In a previous post (somewhere) i said Curbs would not last the season, as all premier clubs will spend more money on Elite Managers, Play more games like that curbs and you will be entitled to ask Bjorg and Eggert for a pay rise.
Well Done Curbs and staff.
You guys are the new staff we dreamed of, lets hope it stays that way
And Iain, My blog still isnt on yur Blogroll!!
I have sent 2 posts on the blogroll page.
I’ll try to add it later. I have several to do.
agree we can live easily without shorey. as for beating teams better than reading , that will come. i wouldn t underestimate beating any side 3-0 ,away from home, especially when that side was top 10 last season
Regular readers of In The Brown Stuff have known about Shorey’s Goonerhood for ages. Obviously you browse the wrong pages…
Shorey would be a good addition to our squad, I like Linda he gives a 100% and has shown signs of improvement but Shorey much like Wayne Bridge delivers quality balls into the box and over a season that makes a difference. Not sure either where the idea that he was a West Ham fan came from but most of us including me bought it.
Was a great result yesterday and if we produce more performances like that I will eat my words about Curbs ability, fair play to him !
agree on shorey being overrated. what is all teh fuss about? how many years of premiership experience does he have? he may be a decent enough player ,but is the guy going to move the earth ? i don t think so. he certainly didn t look yesterday like a player worth 7 to 9 million, or whatever reading wnted for him.
Golas on Sunday? Is that a Sky homage to the classic 80s trainers:)
anyone notice that steve coppell had teh decency to just accept that we were the better side? even though they gad chances, with the penalty and hitting the post, he didn t make excuses or say the scoreline flattered us. some like big fat bungin sam or roedent or steve bruce wud have gone on about how the game was closer than it looked etc. he even had teh grace to say we cud have had more goals, which can t be disputed ,and implied that reading were never in it such was our superiority. i actually think reading were better than their manager gave them credit for, but coppell s respect and decency towards us was commendable. makes a change from all and sundry in the media and even in the league who ve been slagging us ( like “teh mighty QUINN ” -not- at sunderland ) for our spending or anything else. a lot of sore losers these days in the prem setting a bad example. coppell isn t one of them. despite the rivalry bewteen the sides in recent years, i hope it s someone else who goes down, not them.
shorey said to his pals that he wanted the switch, if he is available then we should get him but not for too much i hope
Have to go agree with war and Peace. the 3 id be happy see go down will be Fulham, Wigan, and boro, the whingers who wanted us relegated
I take back Boro, I would rather Spuds, i would celebrate for months if they were relegated.
now the window is shut i hope mccartney shows theform he showed playing for n ireland the other week i saw the match and he was there best player by far he started a lot of there attacks he was like julian dicks with hair if he plays like that for us we wont need the likes of gooner boy shorey or anyone else
It’s amazing … friday night and so many fickle so called WHUFC fans were saying so much rubbish rubbish about Curbs, the signings and go pay for them at any price and slating Eggy for unful-filled promises of superstars arriving …. today after wiping the floor with the one of the clubs that wanted to hold us to ransom we’re all hooray and oooohh top six … people need to take stock of some of the spending other clubs have made and look how average they are looking …. apart from the Manc game I have every game so far and the team is full of pasion and belief … look at Ethers and Mullins absolutely solid this season … Ferdinand knows one more bad game and he’ll need to fight pass Gabbibdon and Collins to get a place on the bench … Bowyer is just lovin wearing the shirt whilst £20 million of tallent is sat in the treatment room. As I keep saying …. mid table come January and the likes of Appiah and Eidur will arrive to take us on to a european spot and possibly a cup final.
villa 2-chelsea nil
that s what happens to people whp talk tosh. they get found out and then they get stuffed.
couldn t happen to a more arrogant set of tripe .
ARE U HAVING A LAUGH,TERRY???? implying that man united were already out of it because they were five points behind chelsea at this early stage.
congratulations villa.
better luck next time didier and johnny boy. it s not just the england manager that needs changing. it s the captain.
STICK THE BLUE FLAG where it can t find an exit
At the end of the day. Hammer or Gooner it seems to be obvious that Shorey wanted to come to West Ham. People have been saying he also said this on Goals on Sunday. I hope we get him in January.
well stated tom- sums up brilliantly in a nut shell. good shout jimwhu as well -absolutely spot on. and while were at it ,rock on roost- wud luv to see that maggot al-fayed get his comeuppance. apart from fulham s knack of coming back from the dead ,i d say they were a real possibility. i hope this 2 week break gives our short term injuries a chance to be all ready come
sept 15. big opportunity for us- we need to take it.
eggert- please countersue mccabe. we want to see him fry in agony.
we are west ham s claret army…………
not a bad w/e
we beat on eof our bogey sides 3-0
spudmuckers chuck a 3-1 lead
sheff disunited lose to the mitey thorpe.

great stuff
ride on josephine baby ride on….
What happened to sack the manager, the summer signings are sh1t …. Eggies broken promises and the old gaurd can’t cut it …..
Hey Curbs spot on fella and when the likes of Freddie and Scot Parker return it’ll be time to rub some short sighted so called fans noses right in it … up the Irons .. and roll on Jan for the likes of Eidur n co to take us on to europe ..
I think you will find HE DID want to come to us BUT Reading wouldnt allow him or pay him off! Wait till January hence the signing of Rosenior??
keep talking tripe, terry
u spend big ,u talk big, and u still get turned over by villa
THAT S WHY YOU RE NOT CHAMPIONS
