Barnsley 0 West Ham Utd 4 (06/04/12)

[ironworks41]

Guv'nor,
was'nt specific to yesterdays game,it was more about the way things have changed,except in many ways they have'nt.
Football has changed in some instances but not others since my dear old Dad took me with him,passed me over to other fans who sat me on the
wall,fed me peanuts and toffees and gave me back at the end. That was back in the early fifties,when we signed unknown Irishmen.
Dunno what the transfer window lickers would make of that now.
Have been to too many away games and got the ache of watching us lose on a regular basis,To go away confident of winning is new to a lot of us.It was an ironic response. Its just that some fans craving the West Ham way have no idea what it is.Expectations have changed so much,Vic Keeble for 10k,those were the days.Now if its not 5 million plus sack the Board.
Probably was the wrong thread to get wound up about, so apologies.

I watched the whole match and was really impressed with West Ham. They played some nice stuff, scored 2 very good goals with Maynard and Noble, looked committed and won the match very well. Barnsley weren't up to much - but that's no excuse. If you play well then you play well. Lots of noise from the away end and the conga was funny. I've seen jobsworth Stewards break them up before!

Nice to have some football on BBC too.

Possibly, no def the worst team performance by any team in the 4 leagues that ive seen yesterday from barnsley, you sure avrams not in charge there in a keith hill mask

You clearly don't watch any Scottish football. I thought Barnsley stuck at it well. A horrible bobble for our first goal, a superb move and finish for our second, an example of a real footballer for our third (most professional footballers couldn't do what Noble did, even though it's a piece of piss in theory), and the type of save-straight-to-an-opponent that we've seen loads of times when we've been struggling. Despite all that, they never gave up, kept passing, kept tackling and were a credit to their supporters.

Commentator mentioned that he thought a lot of our support yesterday would have been from northern based hammers and that we had a big branch in Yorkshire

Anyone know if this is true?

Where they are based and how I get in contact with em[/quote]

And why did that knob Mark Bright find it so hard to believe ?

[WestHamByTheSea]

The commentator was generally right, obviously the majority would have come up from the usual places, but we have fans all over the country in varying degrees, like any club with a big fanbase - people move around, and that's what happens.

The reason Mark Bright finds it so hard to believe is that he is probably the thickest pundit out there - not an ****hole as such like Townsend, Waddle or Pleat, but just incredibly, incredibly dim. Every game he commentates on feels like the first game of football he's ever seen in his life; all the little things going on out there just seem to baffle him. Still stares at aeroplanes, no doubt...

Very accurate description and you would also think by the way he talks he was the greatest striker ever.

''Oh, he should of turned around and shot it into the tp corner''

Yep, just like you would have playing for Barcalona....Or was it Palace...?

Have to say I thought we got almost everything spot on against Barnsley.

Maynard looked extremely sharp, has to play the next game. If we approach every game in the same way as Friday we will be looking very good come the end of the season IMO.

Good that pomey equalised esterday as well, if we win tomorrow Soton will be proper ****ting it.
