Nothing sums up the New West Ham era more than an incident half way through this video. West Ham loose the ball on the edge of Spurs box and Spurs begin a counter attack. This video shows something not picked up by the tv coverage as they tend to track the ball. If you watch, as soon as our move breaks down, Antonio and Rice sprint back to our own box. They overtake loads of Spurs players, and some of ours. Our defence get the situation under control, and both Antonio and Rice spin on a sixpence and begin running back up the pitch. This is mid second half by the way.
I say it a lot on kumb, but really well done Moyes and the coaching team, and the whole squad.
After sixty years of watching the ‘Ammers, this era gives me as much pleasure as any. We will struggle to match the trophy success of Greenford and Lyall, but the standard of opposing football is better and the general competition much stronger. And yet we are amongst it!
My glass is three quarters full. Let’s enjoy every kick .

Ps. What about Oggie enjoying the moment after the final whistle. Evidence if any needed that players care.
