✍️ Welcome Michail Antonio

[funky chicken]

On another note, Antonio is now the joint highest scorer for the club in all European competitions we’ve competed in. Alongside Jarrod, Johnny Byrne and David Cross!

[The Terminator]

Typical Antonio, scores 2 really good goals last night, neither of which were 'easy' chances but put him through one on one with the keeper and you know the end result.

Anyway, great performance from the big man to hopefully silence some of his critics of late.

Great to see him bag 2, overchuffed for him.

Carlton Cole mentioned in the studio that considering what Mike has gone through the last year he is really pleased for him - slip up from Carlton? or have I missed something? Or he just meant a lean season in front of goal?

[bonzosbeard]

Credit where its due, two great finishes.

I’m just glad we’ve got a manager playing a 32 year old bloke that is indifferent about staying over a 23 year old 30m+ summer signing, who was regarded as one of the best young strikers in the world when we signed him.

Top stuff, really is.

That 23 year old isn't indifferent about staying, he's desperate to get on a plane to Italy. Our centre forward scores 2 and hits the inside of the post with another and you're suggesting he should'nt have played? Antonio is criticised for poor finishing, justifiably, but he was deadly last night

Credit where its due, two great finishes.

So close to a third, both with the initial shot and then cms away from reaching the rebound off the post.

I always believed in you, Micky

I always believed in you, Micky

I have heard so many drunk men making their piss in pub toilets talking to themselves saying exactly that.......

[sendô]

It's amazing to see what he is capable of when he plays against defenders that stand off him and don't close him down.

Perhaps a slip up from Carlton.

A great proportion of our goals in recent years have involved some participation by Micky.

I'm always happy to see him starting.

Please for big Mike. Two very good goals, a little unlucky not to get the third.

I know we have better finishers in that position but as a team we don't look as dangerous without him.

That is something he can never be accused of
If anything he has been more effective/ successful against the better sides in his career, than the weaker ones

Bet he sobs those words as he checks his bank balance on the 6th of each month.

I have it on good authority that it's actually.

A West Ham player* scores two goals in the last 16 of a European competition & the next day we get this.

You do have to wonder about some 'fans'.

* Our highest goalscorer of the last 30 odd years.

Love that ^

[hammerman11]

been a good player for us but at 33 years old now the time is closing in on his career. we need younger and better players now. one more season of antonio from the bench will help prolong the happy memories of him. no longer a starter for me.
