How does that differ to Valon Behrami,- West Ham's 'wouldn't sell him for £10m' midfield 'hero' who also has 2 goals in like 50 odd games and spends half the match chasing about the balls he has given away?
Behrami is a white a dead snake. I realised a long time ago that Behrami doesn't bring much to the table. Was initially impressed by the amount of ground he covers. Now I'd happily see him go. We don't have many midfielders who have a touch of class about their game. Even Parker who dont get me wrong has been our best play ect and done a fine job. In terms of creating and scoring goals hes not too good. However thats fine you need someone like that because he breaks up play, puts his body on the line ect. What i'm trying to say is that we have too many players who can graft and not enough who can unlock defences...

I thought they badly missed Bellamy today .

They passed and passed and passed.......then passed some more .....and a bit more .

To very little effect .

Kompany touched the ball more than 80 times.......and did what with it ?

Where was the thrust , the edge ?

Pretty , but pretty ineffective .

The best part for me today was meeting with Eddie Bovington in Green St after the game, shake of the hand and nice little chat, a lovely gentleman.

That's why he looked so unhappy at the final whistle. Misery loves Kompany.

Daprela was crap made johnson look like messi but its ok I know you spector bashers will be on his back after a few more games with him next season. But more importantly-

Well done Da Costa for being superb this year and coming in n making our defence a lot more secure and nice touch with giving your boots to the disabled supporter after tha game-top man and last but not least...

Carlos Tevez I love you! Come home asap!

that's b*llocks.... Daprela was superb today, he is only a kid but has really held his own when given the chance plus all of his chances have come against the big teams.... He made a couple of errors today but none of them cost us goals unlike Spector.

Are you fishing? :eh:

IMVHO Daprela had a decent game and looked a real prospect. You must have been watching a different game to me.

I'd like to correct you on that as I'm sure others will. HE didn't cost us all those fines etc etc, what cost us the fines was the way in which the FA etc etc were lied to by the management team - not him.

The fella loves us, why put on a Hammers shirt and clap the fans - he respects us and we respect him as a professional.

Plus I'd have his babies LMAO....

The sad thing for me is other players that are home grown and actual West Ham and not adopted like(Tevez, Di Canio) Rio, Cole etc don't get treated anything like the same, I doubt even some of our legends would if they appeared at half time.

Was it Daprelas fault that the smallest player on the pitch score a header ?

Watched the whole game back on football first and thought he was solid against a very good winger

Not Daprela's fault, SWP was over on Foxbat's side but really in that area of the box I would have thought DaCosta should have been covering - a lot of bodies in the area at the time and a good cross cut everyone out apart from SWP, sh*t happens.

Cole should have got a foot to the chip from Diamanti really, all he had to do was guide it over the keeper with his first touch but he must have bottled out and took his eye off the ball to see wether the keeper was going to clatter him or not.
