Well if ever there was a game we deserved to win and didn’t it was this one. Let’s concentrate on the positives. We played the team with the best home record in the division and we should have won. The defence was again magnificent. The central midfield worked well. Carlton Cole scored a cracker of a goal. Julien Faubert showed some great touches when he came on. There were only two negatives to the game - the referee and Luis Boa Morte. I know people think I have a thing about him and they’re right. Today you could see why. He was a liability. If Matty Etherington had been fit I reckon we’d have won. I also want to pay tribute to Hayden Mullins and Mark Noble, both of whom were immense. Noble nearly snatched it towards the end and perhaps should have, but let’s not ignore their goalkeeper, Joe Hart, who saved them time and again.
We now have one thing to play for: Europe. I really believe that we are now showing the kind of defensive consistency which achieves results. We have a central midfield which looks strong, and if we can only get our wing play and strikers sorted out I believe we can finish in the top 7.
And finally another big up for Carlton Cole. This boy has come on leaps and bounds. He’ll never be perfect, but in game after game he’s working his socks off, something most of us probably never thought we would see. His first touch is getting better and his shielding of the ball is now excellent. He’s going to give the manager a real headache when Ashton and Bellamy are both fit, not to mention Bobby Z.

…did I say you’re the only one agreeing with him? You sure you haven’t tried your hand at fiction crazyhorse….you’re very good at making things up. Why would I say you’re the only one agreeing with Iain then in the other post talk about how a majority can be wrong? Read calmly and don’t attribute things to me that I have not said just to make yourself feel better.
Do you think NOBLES mistakes are highlighted as much or in the same way as BOA MORTES? If you’re honest with yourself then the answer is no….NOBLES mistakes are not highlighted like BOA MORTES. I’m not saying that BOA MORTES the best player in the world, neither have I said NOBLE is rubbish. I just think you can be more fair on BOA MORTE but this seems to have agitated you.
…..as for the hump; if you can see my smile now!….I wouldn’t expect you to disagree with Iain now would I?
tebs you’re talking rubbish,and you contradict yourself by explaining what someone else has said whilst forgetting what your saying.And no one said you said noble was rubbish buit he isnt average as you have said.You seem to think people are aggitated by what you are saying which seems to me that is what you want,but the only ones smiling are others on here at some of your comments which seem to exceed the realms of football reality.People on here like banter if you dont like it then go elsewhere
Very funny Villa joke crazyhorse. Did you think of it all by yourself?
Ho dear tebz you are original arent you,very cliche
tebz ideal line up for a football team…goalkeeper:stevie wonder .midfield:roy chubby brown,billy buntin,tom jones,bjork.Strikers:long john silver.robinson crusoe
the reason tebz that nobles mistakes are not highlighted the same as lbm is because he doesnt make the same mistakes,for gods sake what team are you watching or are you on a wind up…and er yes you did only point out what ive said,its not in fiction just scroll back to what silly comment you made
So many wind up’s here lads.
WIND YOUR KNECKS IN!!
I’m surprised that Ian has responded so much to Carlos,as he doesn’t deserve the attention he’s getting.
I would just say,everyone is entitled to their oppinion,and some people do unfortunately look at our game with sh1t in their eyes,but hey,why worry.
The likes of Carlos are in the minority so just ignore them Ian. These sort of supporters are not worth your time imo.
Don’t bother coming back with a reply Carlos as I will just ignore it mate.
I think you’ve had enough publicity already.
I love Mark Noble,
His fame is wide & global,
He plays in midfield,
West Ham is his shield,
But Carlos i’m afraid,
Is IGnoble.
“everyone is entitled to their oppinion” BUT “Don’t bother coming back with a reply Carlos as I will just ignore it mate.”…that was brilliant Upton Spark!
…and crazyhorse, go and see someone about that temper of yours.
………….Iain says jump and crazyhorse says how high.
tebz grow son i dont have a temper its you and by the amount of people giving you grief its obvious you are stamping your feet,now be a good boy and go away
Tabrez there is treatment for attention seeking,so just incase you havent worked out that you an annoying fella on this board,heres what most want you to do…go away
I think the main problem with LBM is that he is desperatly lacking in confidence. He is almost trying far to hard. I agree with most, he has been our worst player far to often. Saying that, I wish fans would get of he back. Given some support, he could prove to be a very useful asset. He is a far better player then what he has shown us. Ask any Fulham fan, I believe he was their player of a year.
I will never slagg of a player too much who tries as hard as LBM. I hope he can get his form back and shows us what he really do, I also wish we could give him some slack.
In th past few seasons, we have had alot less talented players who come out and looked like they couldnt give a monkeys and never recieved as much stick as LBM
Anyone know when Bellamy is back,its says at physio room he will be back 1st of February,but this info on that site keeps changing
I said I wouldn’t come back with a reply Carlos,but seeing how you have missquoted me and taken things out of context,you actually missed the most important thing and that is “some people look at our game with sh1t in thier eyes.”
Guess who that might be Carlos?
Tabrez - your argument have no substance.
LBM is playing poorly. That is the reason he runs around like a headless chicken, giving silly free-kicks away when all we want him to do is keep possession, cross the ball and use his pace to GOOD effect. At the moment he isn’t doing any of that.
Noble is playing very well. No more to say on that score.
LBM should take a leaf out of Carlton’s book. Put the effort in, but in a controlled way, not in a decapitated fowl way.
You are obviously of limited intelligence, just like LBM.

On another note, why did Konchesky get applauded by some fans when Fulham came to UP?
His attitude and performances were as bad if not worse than NRC last season, and he slagged Curbs and the club off after he left. He is extremely overrated and possibly the most one-footed player we have ever had.
Is it because of his skin colour and haircut?
PS I am white.
I think you got it spot on brooking is still the best….BOA MORTE is trying too hard.
Crazyhorse; most want me to go away?…and I suppose you asked them did you? Well I’m afraid it’s not your choice. If Iain didn’t want me to comment on his blog then I would respect that but you have no right over whether I can come on here. If I had sworn at you or insulted you FIRST then you would have a case but you started this off just because my opinion of NOBLE not being as good as some think. It’s like you have an exclusivity on opinions. At least I’m brave enough to disagree instead of being a yes man. Go and get a GCSE.
As for you Upton Spark…did I say anything to you? yet you feel it’s necessary to get involved and insult me with that language that you were brought up on. Well why don’t you get a mind of your own instead of jumping on the wagon that’s being pulled by a crazyhorse. How can I misquote you when I have directly pasted your comment in? Can you work that one out or do you have to ask crazyhorse first?
Ollie did I insult you?
LBM is making far too many errors and also causing free kicks that will either cost us goals or him a red card.I do believe he will be gone in the summer.For the limited time i saw faubert out there he has achieved more in his short time on the pitch than LBM has in the last year.Cant wait to see what faubert can do in 90 minutes
ffs tabrez are you stalking me or something,put your dummy back in for gods sake and stop stamping your feet.You’ve mentioned my name 3 times in that last comment,if its not you accusing me of siding with iain,its now you saying others have sided with me,get a grip lad,its old hat now and my last comment was nothing to do with you,you’re becoming tiring and tedious,now run along.Anyway,back to reality,I know Ljundberg stated earlier that we could finish fourth,but I think realistically we could finish 6 or 7th,what do you guys think?But even if we don’t,we should finish in top half at the least,which would be still great considereing what we went thru last season.Maybe last season has toughened us up,just look at our defence now.And with players coming back,and hopefully an end to the injury jinx,we have a bright future.And what an achievement so far considering how injuries.
Ho just for the record tebz,i never called you a name,more misjudgement by you,grow up and enjoy the topics or harmless banter,stop getting your nickers in a twist
I mentioned your name 3 times…. just look at how many times you’ve felt the need to post just so you can say something against me? …and your last comment is shown at 3.00 a.m? …and you say I’m stalking you? You need to get a life mate.
…and by the way FREDDIE. Please don’t get too ambitious with 4th spot because crazyhorse will only remind you of last season!
later, much later.
