Carol told me after the game that she's now switching to only organic meat due to popular demand, so well done Nell. The one thing you didn't mention was how terrible the referee was on Saturday. Early in the game, right in front of the dugouts, McShane put his forehead into Franco's -- itself a red card offence these days -- and started pushing him -- again, a straight red. But neither the ref nor the lino seemed to have spotted it, so the Hull player didn't get a card of any sort; all very curious, especially as it was in front of the 4th official. MOTD didn't show it either. Brown had obviously told them to get it right up the southern softies, and the ref was hopeless at stopping them. If he'd sent off McShane -- one of Hull's key players -- we would have been playing ten men for an awful long time and probably would have had the bagful we deserved. <br /><br />Have you seen a worse (visiting) team in E13 in recent memory? A pub team blessed with a decent goalie, I thought. <br /><br />Anyway, moaning over: 14th with a nosebleed -- I'm not really complaining.Pete Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492414093187007414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704906222106374133.post-66058264468366035972010-02-22T20:32:13.635+01:002010-02-22T20:32:13.635+01:00Our goal difference is so superior now that we pra...Our goal difference is so superior now that we practically have an extra point over the rest.

Faubert is a frustrating mix of the brilliant and the banal and will continue to be a worry until he learns to hoof the ball out of defence when under pressure. The key for me, apart from the obvious attacking reinforcements, is that by accident or design GZ has finally found his first choice midfield. A pity for Collison and Noble but we are so much more compact and combative with Jedward and Scotty in the middle and Diamanti does something productive with the ball 95% of the time he gets it. And he's putting in a hell of a defensive shift too, it's a joy to watch. The other plus is that Franco has picked up where he left off without missing a beat and is a true Hammer already, I just love his blend of quality and commitment. <br /><br />God knows what'll happen tomorrow night but our fate will tied up with our home results - four wins and a draw is what we need for 40 points, very achievable (given the opposition) if not guaranteed.DaDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00104486114874854422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704906222106374133.post-18930113557995630982010-02-22T11:53:25.739+01:002010-02-22T11:53:25.739+01:00The mood of the fans and players seems to have tur...The mood of the fans and players seems to have turned now we have some stability at the club. We are much better than Hull, and Burnley look doomed as they always lose away.<br />On Saturday's evidence we have six class players in Cole, Upson, Green, Behrami, Parker and Diamanti and should really be up there with Birmingham and Fulham. <br />Or maybe the lads were simply inspired by the news that the Hammerettes are returning?Pete Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492414093187007414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704906222106374133.post-55940180159659384822010-02-21T23:05:10.990+01:002010-02-21T23:05:10.990+01:00At the District Six Museum they politely asked us ...At the District Six Museum they politely asked us if we could stop our hooligans travelling to the World Cup, then when we said we were from London they were extremely pleased we were West Ham fans, not Chelsea like all the gloryhunters there.
