Comments on: Chelsea Report: Battling Hammers Impress http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2008/12/14/chelsea-report-battling-hammers-impress/ Iain Dale's Hammers Diary Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:21:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ray Moore http://www.westhamtillidie.com/2008/12/14/chelsea-report-battling-hammers-impress/comment-page-2/#comment-11989 Ray Moore Wed, 17 Dec 2008 09:49:39 +0000 http://westham.wordpress.com/?p=742#comment-11989 daily mail stiring up SH*T again. Today Paul Hayward wrote in his daily mail column about Zola not celebrating Bellers opener against Chelsea and blatenly trying to make something out of nothing. So Zola is a gent! Why can he not show a bit of respect by toning down his celebrations when we score against a club he loved playing for. True he is now West ham's manager but everyone is intitled to show affection to previous loves, if only more players in the game were like him maybe there would not be so much disloyalty in football. Paul Hayward should stop trying to turn the west ham fans against Zola or the team he is just trying to fill his pockets full of cash he would make from writing crap about west ham which most papers seem to try and do. Zola didnt need to celebrate the travelling west ham fans who were fantastic, made so much noise that Zola must have thought chelsea had scored! I am sure he never heard cheering like it at stamford bridge before. COYI daily mail stiring up SH*T again.

Owen is ONLY on £105,000 a week !!!! the bar codes have offered 80,000 plus bonuses. Safe to say he won't be coming to us then. Would'nt mind seeing Johnson and or Defoe coming back.

That's third behind Freddie and Bellamy. I'd far rather have a fit Ashton playing the number 9 role though, any day. As for Neill, can he get much slower? His reading of the game seems to be there, he just can't move his backside quick enough. That said, I think he does perform reasonably well as captain, viz his dragging Bellamy away at half time on Sunday, when Bellamy looked like he was about to talk himself into yet another needless yellow. And it was never a penalty - I just watched the re-showing on ESPN (SE Asia), and Lampard made such a meal of it even he'd have turned down a second helping. All in all a very sound performance, and very happy to see the youngsters back, including Noble (can he still be thought of as a youngster?). Parker and Behrami really are turning into midfielders to be reckoned with. Bring on Villa.

As for Neill...yeh a pay cut would be justified, he reckons that he will finish his career out here, well he might be back sooner than he thinks. Thought he had a better game at Chelsea but still lacks pace and positioning, which is surprising considering his experience now! Behrami, Collison, Parker are automatic now, or should be, Noble needs match fitness now.By the way lads, the support was fantastic, really chuffed to hear it all. Weren't Chelski lot quiet!!!!!! reading the posts , seems everyone agrees about Cole not being a striker so lets hope GZ and SC are reading this as well.

I'm also convinced there's one or two who use several pseudonyms. They're recognizable by their style of writing, superior attitude and probably don't realize they've been sussed at all.

Unfortnately tho, what I was alluding to is the ease with which even a regular contributor can effectively anonymise themselves on this blog by assuming some other identity. I am not sure if s.o falls into this category or if he/she was simply a casual visitor but my suspicion is it is probably a regular on a bit of a wind up just to set the touch paper alight! The anonymous thing is ok just so long as it doesn't get personal as it did on this site some significant while ago!

Cole is the battering ram for defence ! he should only play that role for 80 mins, then replace him with pace and a preditor in front of goal ! SEARS ! look how great young jack collison is proving to be ! Parker berhami noble looked excellent , all over the place ! me thinks the future is very bright ! COYI ! great all round performance !
