Fulham 0 West Ham Utd 1 (23/02/08)

[Voronin]

im gonna be in sweden this weekend .. a town called Ornskoldsvik!
a very long shot but does anyone know any showings in bars there ?! haha

anyway, we will win this one. ashton with a brace

green
neill anton upson linda
faubert noble mullins ljungberg
ashton cole

It´s the main match on the sports channel with the premier league rights so if you can find a sports bar there or atleast a big pizza joint they will show the Fulham game, however, örnsköldsvik is a small town, good luck m8

[antony]

Ideally i'd want to see

Green
Neill
Linda
Upson
Anton
Noble
Mullins
Faubert
Ljungberg
Zamora
Cole

Subs
Wright
Pantsil
Bowyer
Ashton
Spector

I don't think we'll see Zamora starting (maybe on the bench) but i'd be surprised if Mr Faubert doesn't make his first start on Saturday

[CrackSabbath]

I'll be watching it live here in the US. Unfortunately, that means I'll be up a bit before 8am on a Saturday to watch it. Well, it could be worse, I'm sure the Aussie Hammers have to get up at 3 or 4 in the morning to watch it live.

It should be a scrappy match. I'm always nervous when we play teams below us in the table. It seems that we play to the level of our opponents. We're amazing against the top teams, but flat and listless against the strugglers.

COYI

Close Crack.... 2am for us folk in Sydney... So its more of a staying up or getting home on a Saturday night... Not the worst thing in the world...

i predict 0 - 2 with goals for Noble and Deano... Comfortable...

AND

Don't blame it on the Journalists,
Don't blame it on MI6,
Don't blame it on Prince Philip,
Blame it on the West Ham,

Al Fayed, Al Fayed, Al Fayed you are a c*nt,
Al Fayed, Al Fayed, Al Fayed you are a c*nt.......

:lol:

[SamtheHammer92]

I think Fulham will make it hard for us to come away with anything but if we have a comitted performance and everyone is ready to go (should be after the 2 week break) we can come away with all 3 points.

[rendog2]

Sadly we're gonna get spanked here. 3-0 to fulham.

[Bobby Orangeboom]

Sadly we're gonna get spanked here. 3-0 to fulham.

Do you really think that ??

Jesus, i'm the cynical, sceptic on my Firm when it comes to predicting our result but even i'm more posetive than that in my 0-0 prediction.. :lol:

I'd go 4-5-1, same personnel where personnel, same formation that we get the better results from..

Back 5 including GK speaks for itself.

Etherington left, Solano right.

Bowyer, Noble, Parker out i believe so the 3 remaining spaces should be.........

Mullins holding with another CM that i'm struggling with personnel wise, Ljungberg furtherst forward of the 3 Man CM, supporting Cole the Striker & possibly interchanging when wanted, with Solano.

If Noble's fit, he could be that spare Man in there with Mullins.

[mansfields1964]

Regarding songs, why not keep it nice and simple:

Oh we all work (Oh we all work)
for MI6 (for MI6)
Oh we all work for MI6
and you will never get your passport
cos we all work for MI6

[kitthehammer]

Any creative chant-makers among you lot you can link-in the Diana inquest to the Egyptian corner shop owner?

Do you think he'll turn up?

Maybe I'll just give him the Whe*an/Defoe et al treatment

Fay - ed - wherever you may be,
Your team is as f*cked as poor dodi,
And they're going down like that royal sort,
Plus you still can't get a uk passport.

Needs work. [/quote]

Probably safer to stick to:
"Where's your passport gone..................,Far far away"

On a Hammers non-match day and because i live out west i decided to go to a match at fulham a while back but i was in the away end with Norwich fans. They sang the simple but effective...
"fat ****ing arab, youre just a fat ****ing arab"

Best keep the chants simple tomorrow I reckon.

How about.....
"We're all p**** cheats who come from Essex not the East End and overcompensate for that fact endlessly".

Doesn't scan I know but sums everything pretty well. Come on you Pink Irons!!

[TrickyDicky]

i see curbishley has decided to leave zamora out the squad this weekend, so that just leaves us with 2 strikers, surely hes fit enough to be on the bench, stupid

[Buxe]

Looking at Curbs recent comments on Sky Sports we can see how importantly he views Ashton to the team. All said and done, if we get a chance, we'd all rather it fell to Ashton than anyone else.

Can he last 90 minutes though? Should we rest him until he can play with a more technically gifted partner i.e Zamora next week? Why dent his confidence further and play him if he ain't fully fit? Cole has proved an able stand in this year, he won't be at the club next year i'd imagine as we will look to bring some real quality in but can't complain about his contribution this campaign

The main problem is we are not creating chances of late... I put that down to the midfield, Mullins, Bowyer, Noble can't offer anywhere like the level of play we saw from Scott Parker around the turn of the year. Such a shame we have not had a chance to see Parker & Dyer in the middle this year, in my opinion that pair would have seen us really pushing for Europe.

I think its time to throw Faubert in, Solano on the bench.

Ljungberg is showing good form and is always capable of getting a goal. Move him behind Ashton, in a floating role and lets get the ball down and try to slip it through.

Oh we all work (Oh we all work)

Oh we all work for MI6
and you will never get your passport
cos we all work for MI6

That and God Save the Queen and ENG-ER-LAND would be brilliant.

[Whufc06]

Al-Fayed tried to get a passport but they said No-No-No!

[hammer it home]

Who ever has the big West Ham flags, are they coming tomorrow?

[I am law]

Come on you Pink Irons!!

any chance of an explanation for the pink bit...

[bumpkinhammer]

Anything less than 3pts will see the rapidly fading light of European football next year extinguished.
How long will we be 10th? Got to be some kind of record.
