Cant think ive been to a quieter ground than that for a while- they've really lost their mojo.

A good point, which on balance was about the right result.
Interesting point . Stoke used to be quite an intimidating ground but yesterday it was relatively quiet - I don't recall hearing Delilah even once .

Our turn out in terms of numbers was poor - no more than 900 or so , but the quality made up for it .

I am a tad concerned we may embarass ourselves with a Wigan sized mini bus turn out on Tuesday though . :oops:

Was I right in hearing "Where's your famous atmosphere?" from away support? Was awfully quiet for a while, could hear our support a great deal of the time on the TV.

We left from Lakeside at about 7.15, arrived at the Harvester at about 11.20. M11/A14/M6. Far too many roadworks on the M1 to risk that journey!

Thought there were more than 900 there tbh, only looked about 100 empties so about 1300.
Should be about 800-1000 of us on tuesday. I know there's a few northen based hammers up there who are making the trip, so hopefully more than 400.

Match of the Day reporter Paul Mitchell is fed some false information in his earpiece and accidentally refers to interviewee Scott Parker as West Ham team-mate Mark Noble:

I was down the front and got chatting to one of the stewards, he told me we took 1200.

...was good to hear a rendition of claret and blue in the bar beforehand..it'd be great to get this going regular(again) and to ditch the anti-chelsea bollox that we hear every match... and its a much more accurate description of us and our aspirations ( south bank apart...!)

ALL TOGETHER NOW!!!!!!

" Bow Bells are ringing, for the Claret and Blue,
Bow Bells are ringing, for the Claret and Blue,
When the Hammers are scoring, and the South Bank are roaring,
And the money is pouring, for the Claret and Blue,
Claret and Blue,
No relegation for the Claret and Blue,
Just celebration for the Claret and Blue,
One day we'll win a cup or two, or three,
Or four or more, for West Ham and the Claret and Blue.""

ah, the bow bells is important as a starting point, otherwise you might be confused with villa,...

"The bells are ringing for the claret and blue,
The fans are singing for the claret and blue,
Everybody is knowing,
To the Villa we are going,
Cause the Villa are showing,
We're the best in the land.
BEST IN THE LAND!
