West Ham Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[riggi]

Needs to be at least 4-0 to feel comfortable

Good call riggi. That shit me up

Third straight away win. First time in PL history.

If you include the back end of last season, it's five straight and eight from nine, with only the trip to the Taxpayer Stadium in May spoiling the sequence. The Bindippers are the only other team to beat us at their home this calendar year.

Should not have ended 3-2. Even with a man down. Lost our heads and Alli, despite the assist, really dropped his game in the second half.

Our dealing with aerial balls is poor. Sanchez seems to lose spatial awareness.

 

[slartibartfast]

I nearly flat lined at the end

You reminded me of something Ray Wilkins said on TS yesterday. They never picked up on it but I think H&J might.
They were talkin about Ginola who was on earlier in show.
Alan B- He was actually dead for a full 9min ya know?
Ray- And thats not pleasent!!!!
Pissed myself.
Personally I try and cut death out of my life as much as possible

 

[slartibartfast]

What was the smell like?

Success with a hint of silverware

Game should never had finished as close as it did I still think we are not playing as well as we can, but luckily we are still picking up points so not too bad.

He's six feet four and one of the strongest players in the league yet goes down when someone puts a hand on his back. He was lucky not to get booked for diving. He also headbutted Aurier and got involved in the scuffle at the end. Probably injured himself with all that action today.

Kyle Martino is to football punditry what King Herod was to baby sitting.

Robbie Earl is ex Wimbledon, so what the fuck does he know about footie?

With us being under the cosh in the last few minutes, I'd have put Son on for Kane instead of Llorente.

With Son's pace, it would have kept the Spammers defence back a bit.

Ithought Llorente did well for the short time he was on. Can see he's a class player

But when you think how we are playing without Rose, Wanyama, Lamela and today Dembele, well we're only going to get better imo.

[heelspurs]

Not for me, mate. I'm taking away from that game all the good things he did and seeing his likely awesomeness in the future.Poch will sort out the high-risk tackling.

Spare the rod spoil the child TT. Your getting soft in your old age.

Oi!

Shouldn't have been that close. We dominated completely until Aurier's brainfade. But even for the bulk of the period with 10 men we were in control. Their second goal was a good one and that set up a nervy finale.

Fixed.

 

[thelak]

I'm not worried about Aurier on a 12-18month view but is a lot more raw than I expected

The rash challenges he can cut out but his positining in all the games so far has been pretty off

Looks a big talent but quite a lot for Poch to address.

Ithought Llorente did well for the short time he was on. Can see he's a class player

agree. lovely touch on him. Will be an asset over the season

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Fucking Sky ****s. Thirteen more words spoken during the West Ham manager interview. They really do have it in for us.

Twelve of them by the interpreter....

 

[Gb160]

He said before the match he was a West Ham fan

Yeah he coached their strikers for a while.

 

[Led's Zeppelin]

PS I enjoyed the moment on Sky after the match when they showed the top half of the league table.

An Arsenal-free zone.

As it should be.

 

[coys200]

We were sloppy from the word go.Cant think of any period where we controlled the game.sloppy passes ,bad touches.Fortunate we have players like Kane and eriksen that can win us games with their class.

Exactly what I mean we are not really firing on all cylinders but yet are still about, so hopefully this bodes well for when we are.
