By my reckoning our emphatic victory this afternoon has put as at fourth in the table, behind Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool. Our goal difference of +5 is the third best in the league and we are one of only two clubs still to concede an away goal. And even better than that – if we win our game in hand by two clear goals we’d go top. The downside is that the game in hand is against Liverpool – away.
I suspect most of us would have settled for three wins, one draw and one defeat from the first five games. It didn’t look like that after the Man City game though, did it?
I wasn’t at the game this afternoon so i will wait to see the reports, but surely the scoreline speaks for itself.
What a blow, though, for Craig Bellamy to have to be subbed. From the BBC live ticker it seemed as though Carlton Cole did reasonably well, and had a hand in two of the goals. And isn’t it great to dee Dean Ashton get off the mark?
All in all, I shall be able to enjoy may pasta tonight, now!
the “honest ” headmaster.. or is head master. or is HEADMASTER ONE. or is headmaster 1, or THE HEADMASTER this week?

blimey
Cheers for the advice, people (or is it person?).
Seemed to touch a nerve tho, eh what??
No, go on, keep on banging on about SU and all that old game. Some of us have consined it to the dustbin of history and want to concentrate on the now and the future.
consigned to the dustbin? so you ll pay the bill then will you if the courts award mccabe compensation , then “grandmaster”. better focus on your day job a bit more than ,flash. and when you re finished taking your lie detector test ,get back to us.
if you you have something contructive to add. big IF
it isn t over til it s over, comquat. let s hope it is , but we re not 100 percent financially in the clear yet. as and when we are, THEN it can consigned to history.
and stop defending publications that rubbish and misrepresent west ham. any part of that you can t grasp?
good question colney- what does it really mean in actual practice?
ooooohhhhh. Hammerology; incisive contribution.
3 things:
1. If SU get awarded compo, then of course no one is going to be happy about it. I am simply putting the case for ceasing the meaningless and vitriolic rantings of some who appera, to me at any rate, to be keeping this whole thing so much more alive than is justified.
2. What exactly is a ‘comquat’?
3. If by defending publications that misrepresent west ham you mean the Mail, I didn’t. I simply believe that by continuing to bang on about it, you give ever greater credence to the nonsense they print.
what gives LESS credence to the tripe the daily mail prints is if fewer people buy it,especially when it s cyrstal clear they have an anti-westham agenda
you may choose to have a short memory about sheffield united. some of “us” don t have a short memory about it, and want to see mcccabe pay a steep penalty for spreading out and lies, for grossly distorting the facts , and for wasting a lot of west ham s time and money on arbitration after arbitration.
the club, quite rightly ,has already indicated it will consider taking legal action against mccabe.
why? because he s done reputational damage to the west ham “brand” well above and beyond the 5.5 million quid fine. and because in damaging the club s reputation further and subjecting us to quadruple jeopardy ,mccabe made it very difficult for us to bring in new players . which of course leads some disgruntled fans to then fault curbishley, when it is nt curbishley s fault.
so sheffield united is very much in the “now” and in the ‘near future”, because as even the club s owners have acknowledged mccabe should be made to pay . the “vitriol” and the “rantings” are derived frolm mccabe. you might not find meaning in it , and thats your business. but many of us would find meaning in mccabe being made to pay a price for hus libelous actions.
not that complicated, really.
look it up in a dictionary
fair post – with some really good points, if I may say so.
Not quite sure what I’m supposed to look up in a dictionary. I guess this is the part of the response that returns to the rant mode. You see, no one is claiming it is complicated. It’s just that our opinions differ.
Get over it. Move on; I know I have
then stop commenting on it, if you ve gotten over it. it s boring
