It's the way he really overemphasises '..IN THE EYES OF THE FANS' that cracks me up.

Really clever by Joe. Got the point across brilliantly.

He always was quick on his feet :lol:

What was the deal with the bloke who let off a smoke bomb or flare in about the 89th minute, got over the hoardings and kicked off with a load of stewards?

Crazy.

All that's missing is a comedy grimace at the end

Oh I stayed til the end but missed that. What happened to him? Lifetime ban I guess. Lucky b*stard.

I know they didn't fancy him, second time around, but Stuart Pearce really is a bit of a nutter.

Just bought my Brighton ticket and got this message on the confirmation page.

I think that was the biggest gathering of west ham supporters for an FA Cup tie since 1923.

Fans deserve so much more.

Slaven Bilic hails 'complete' West Brom performance against West Ham

Slaven Bilic hailed Albion's performance as "complete" and "mature" after his team clinched a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup by winning at West Ham.

Conor Townsend's first Baggies goal was enough to win the tie at the London Stadium and see Bilic taste victory against the club that sacked him in November 2017.

Albion dominated proceedings in the Captial for well over an hour with the excellent Filip Krovinovic and Charlie Austin both going close to extending their lead.

They had to dig deep in the final 20 minutes when Semi Ajayi was dismissed for a second yellow card.

With a man advantage, the Hammers piled on the pressure. But they only created one real chance - which Mark Noble spurned late on.

"I feel good - I am very pleased with the result," Bilic said when asked how he left to beat West Ham.

"I am even more pleased with the performance.

"We were positive from the start, we were brave, we were on the front foot.

"We kept the ball really well, we had the right distance between the players.

"We got into good situations very often in the first half either from playing out from the back or from nicking a few balls from them when they were trying to build up.

"To be fair, I said to the guys at half-time the only thing I wasn't happy about was the result - and we were winning.

"We should have been more up.

"In the second-half, it was more of a normal game until the red card, second yellow.

"Okay, they then put us under pressure. But we defended well, we defended in numbers.

"Of course, you have to sit deep and defend crosses and your box.

"Sometimes you have to let them be in a position where they have a shot - you can't stop it.

"But we limited them to one chance with Mark (Noble) right at the end.

"We also kept the ball a few times, high up the pitch.

"That was necessary to break their rhythm and rest a little bit.

"But we deserved it big-time I think. It was a complete and mature performance."

My god we were awful for large parts of the game, I just don't know where our goals are coming from open play??

We really are a shower of **** at the moment. Out the cup and all we have to look forward to is a relegation fight, and today, the only thing that may keep us up is 3 worse sides, but I cannot honestly see 3 worse sides than us presently.

Fair play to Moyes for putting out arguably one of the strongest sides we have from what he has at his disposal.

Couldn't have put it much better myself.

The lack of goals seriously concerns me and is what is making me think we might go down. Haller looks well out of form to the point I wouldn't be that surprised to see Ajeti start in place of him soon. We are no totally reliant on Antonio and his dodgy hamstrings.

[Puff Daddy]

I expect you've all heard now. Had we won this, we would've had the chance to get our revenge over Oxford

[smuts]

More like they would have made it 8-0 on aggregate in the cups...
