Lets not all jump up & down too much. I'll be happy with a top 10 finish as long as we push onwards & upwards next season. 4 defeats in 16 prem games if I’m not mistaken.

It was a situation as it could be described in Nick Hornby's "Fever Pitch". You've received visitors for a snack in the afternoon and there's hardly a chance to get to know the result as you've got caught in the small-talk at the dining-table. Eventually you're able to absent yourself for some minutes. You drop out to the computer, type the BBC-sports-website, and get to know what??? The Hammers are 0-1 down and there are only 5 minutes left to play. But you can't stay away for such a long time, can you? Well, you drop back to the company of your guests and think about the faint possibilty of another Mark Noble penalty in the 93rd minute... One and a half hour later you're able to get a glimpse at the results of this Premier League round - just to find out that neither a penalty was awarded at the "JJB" nor Mark Noble has scored. After Wednesday’s performance against Liverpool you had thought you were entitled to expect yet another away win at Wigan. But all that's crossing your mind now are the lyrics of "Bubbles": "They fly so high, nearly reach the sky, then like my dreams ..." You know, "they fade and die..." Well, a win at Wigan - that couldn’t be, could it? Because, as you said Iain, it is after all West Ham we support. I suppose I should have known better, too.

Play 4-5-1 and beat United and Liverpool. Change to 4-4-2 and lose to City in the cup and Wigan away. Stick with system that works. why drop Bowyer for Ashton? he is so unfit/overweight it's untrue. Disgrace. And talking of disgraces, Neill as captain is an insult to Anton and Upson. Curbs does some stupid things. Play 4-5-1 and beat United and Liverpool.

However that's no excuse. I remember the likes of Brooking, Devonshire, Bonds etc getting covered in mud on our old surface and still playing like worldbeaters. If I recall the area where the players came out was always like a bog from Nov through March. Anyway we were no up to it yesterday and it should have been 0-0 because both teams were bad and the game was a true non event. What pissed me off was the referee allowing the free kick that led to their goal to be taken. We were already over the 2 mins of added time. Oh well at least we can come away fro the game knowing we are going places whereas Wigan are shit. The pitch was awful and the League should do something about it. However that’s no excuse.

No wasn't at the game. I live in Denmark, but some day I'll be there at Boleyn! I watched it on tele. I have the equivalent to Sky Sports in the nordic countries called Canal+, so it is the same commentators like you have on Sky. hehe sounds scottish to me one of them. Pretty hard to understand for a bloke who hasn't got english as his native language. About Green. Maybe I was a bit too fast there, but I think it was hard for him 'cause there was a lot of fumbling in front of him and the pitch could only have made it worse. Wigan keeper didn't have that much to do, so less chance for mistakes, but he was good I admit. Maybe better than Green. Green had some great saves. Squaddie Iron. No wasn’t at the game.
