Only saw the second half (from between me fingers).

I not sure anything can be faulted? Could have had another 1 - from Nolan,

This should be enough for the return leg, very professional gameplan although I would have preferred another cross in late on to maybe score a third, but keeping the ball to secure the 2:0 win certainly the safer option a la Big Sam...

Taylor was immense, so was Cole and Collison. If I had to moan about something it would be the substitutions, but sod it!
We're on our way to Wembley! :crest:

That is what Allardyce has brought to West Ham - performances like that. Professional, controlled and totally dominant.

Really top quality performance from West Ham. Took the goals well, defended robustly, controlled the game after the goals.

CFC had a fine game leading the line. He put himself about, and Cardiff were unable to contend with him. Taylor's delivery was excellent, Noble and Nolan bossed the midfield.

Anyone figured out where that 5 minutes came from? Wasn't a single injury break the entire half. Joke.

Cant wait to see the pass stats. As mentioned before, some of those Barca triangles were deadly.

Irons! Irons! Put the welsh ****ers firmly in their place. Servants to their cockney masters. What is that taste? No it's not Lamb. It's Victory.
