No big deal.
I still think there's an element of protecting collison's knee too Bubbs

That Maynard sub near the end wasn't tactical as jack was limping for a good 5 previously

Personally think jack edges it and especially for games where we want a bit of width - collison seems better providing that on the right whereas Lansbury floats around the middle more. Good dilemma to have as they've both picked up their games lately IMO

At times it looked as if we had an extra man as there was always someone available and apart from a spell at the start of each half we made Cardiff look very ordinary. Would have loved a third goal though as I don't think they will be as bad in the second leg and although it's an old cliche, it's only half time.

COYI

I will take being 2-0 up than down anyday :raver:

Yeah, scary, like watching a professional football team. So unlike WHU.

:D

Will be there Monday, let's hope for another similar display and squash them 2-0 again. Not giving them a sporting chance. They don't do that for the sheep.

In the car driving out of Cardiff.

Over the ****ing moon. Despite the endeavours of Cardiffs ticketing policy we just about made it for the start of the game. Support was immense. Very proffesinal performance, did the hard work in the 1st half.

Reid was my MOTM but Carlton, JT & Nobes were again excellent.

Another poor refereeing performance. They do their best to spoil games, no protection for Greeno or Carlton.

Support was fantastic for only 2000 allocation. We have a very happy car driving down the m4 .....

I ****ing love you west ham united xx

Can someone do me a favour a rewind on their sky plus to see what time, to the second, Collison scored his first goal? Need it for a tie break question. :lol:

I felt they both deserved it. What was great about Carlton's performance was the way he kept going despite his injury, how many players do you see go off at the slightest twinge?

Yes you can if there are doubts about his fitness in a few days time. BS may already have planned a swap whatever happened tonight.

Three West Ham products absolutely perfect - Noble, Tomkins and Collison.

We took our chances, they didn't. Cole fantastic up front, the guy is a gorilla, nobody can touch him. Reid and Tomkins are PL defense duo.

Fantastic move by Allardyce to take out Vaz Te and play Taylor up front, not so sure about Maynard playing on the wing.

Let's not concede early on Monday and we'll be alright. Flight booked for Wembley.

I love you West Ham.

40:24 when it crossed the line.
