Funny as hell and the Blackpool fans joined in with the laugh.
As for the game, much much better. I have been critical of Carew but he was my MoM. Great to see him and Baldrick working so well together. Other mentions in dispatches.... Reid, Diop, Faubert and Tomkins
Good performance by all today, I can't think of any of our players were were below per.
Cole is going to have a right job on his hands getting back in the team after both Baldock & Carew's performance's today, they linked up well with Baldock always looking to get in off Carew's knock downs etc. My only grip is that Carew didn't lay it off to Baldock when he was on his own on the penalty spot screeming for the ball to get his hat trick.
We looked a lot more balanced with 2 up top and Carew done a great job of holding the ball up when needed, as said previously it was good to see Collison complete 90 minutes and get a goal it will do wonders for his confidence.
Injuries permitting I wouldn't change the starting line up on Tuesday, with Lansbury & Cole etc on the bench we have options should we need it.

It was one of those silly things you had to be there for. A Blackpool player had a tantrum ank kicked the cornet flag out. One of the groundsman had to replace it twice. At first he got a cheer and a Flagman Fkagman give us a wave. When he did not wave he got a chorus of who the ****ing hell are you. Even the Blackpool fans were cheering him
Ladies and Gentlemen. Today we say a natural goalscorer at the Boleyn for the first time since Cottee. Baldock looks quality on and off the ball, in and out of the box. And he missed two as well.
Great result, can't say I was impressed by the fans in TBL5 today, a fella in front of me got had a go right at him for standing, which set the tone really, full of moany whiny old c****, why can't they just have a standing area for those that want to sing and create an atmosphere and one for the moany old codgers who want to observe/sit on their iphones all game, ruined my day so much I left 40 minutes early.
Just wondering if this performance validates the point I made a game or so back, that did we paradoxically suffered with the transfer window - in that are we better playing core West Ham players than bigger names on loan. (I recognise we do need a big squad to see us through the fixture pile up that is the Championship.)
Are we better sticking to the Collinsons, Fauberts, Carews?

I know BO I'm annoyed about it, but I can safely say I wasn't having a good time, don't get me wrong I'm over the moon we won and I'm gutted about missing the goals, but I was surrounded by moaning old gits who was moaning at anyone and everyone who tried to stand and gave out many a dirty look for chanting, wound me up so much.

Never had any problems..
Sounds like a different stand to me? You sure you weren't in Pinkys stand?
No I'm positive mate, seats 125-160 or something like that, everyone sitting, the atmosphere over by chavs corner sounded ok but it just didn't carry over and through to the away fans because where I was everyone was sitting.
We won is this because Carlton Cole didn't play As soon we were up 4-0 and West Ham put on the sub's I said Well that's the Game Over. It broke the momenta of the game... Nice to score three goal in Nine minutes ... You lot at the back of the West Stand will you lot stop eating Baked Beans up there, Poo...
