It might only be against struggling Norwich, but today's victory could prove to be as important as any other this season.

West Ham just three points behind Man U now with a game in hand - and five clear of Wolves, who have Man City and Liverpool to play.

I think it's given us European football again.

Good to see that performance from the players, I hope it goes some way to get over Thursday for them. Chuffed for them.

Some great individual and team play today.

I've had a very long day, on the road for twelve hours, I'm expecting Bigfatsam to post a fishing rod emoji now.

He suckered me into making that long post to defend my casual and jocular comments. He's misinterpreted my posts

After the second goal I mentioned we'd had a bit of luck in both goals - cos we haven't had much luck in front of goal for a while.
Then with the two deflections for the third I followed up with "double the luck with that one".
Then I was self-referencing by joking about being lucky to get a correct decision. Surprised and delighted those things so well for us in front of goal today

Oh well. In future I should just post "Get in" with the crossed hammers logo.
He made a point of responding to all posts expressing any opinions or analysis that could be mis-contrued as 'not supporting the team' 100%. Sad that rather straightforward comments or insight made on the game are miscontrued as some sort of attack on the team or player when it's anything but. Forums are for expressing your own opinions not genuflecting to "must be 100% positive at all times" group-think mentality. Please carry on :thup:

If we'd got into top gear we'd have won it by 8+ imo. We just ****ed about for the last 30+ mins.

they are the worst team we've played in a long time, worse than most Championship teams.

Byram, nice bloke but if you have him at CB you're a pretty bad side.

I think it's number eight:
Southampton A 0-0,
Everton A 0-1,
Spurs H 1-0,
Burnley A 0-0,
Norwich H 2-0,
Watford H 1-0,
Wolves H 1-0, 28th Feb.

Norwich A 0-4.

2 clean sheets for every 9 games.

A rather clear example of an area for future improvement.

Cracking response, professional performance, 4 goals & really good to see Said get a couple.

A bit of luck for a couple of our goals, shame we didn't have any luck in our two games vs Frankfurt. ☹

But that's history, we move on from that & let's do our very best to grab 6th place & another Europa adventure. We don't rely on Palace to do us f*** all favours, let's get two wins & Man Utd can't do a f**king thing. Bring on the City.

I was so down about Thursday night and while this does not make up for it, it's great that the boys bounced back from it so quickly. If we could finish in sixth place and be back in The Europa League I would be one happy hammer.

Yes, had a collision so was looking a bit sore. Again, sure he'll be OK. Not sure on Benny, he wasn't able to walk off the pitch unaided

And I noticed Dawson came back out onto the pitch at the end and walked across to our fans. Was worried we might have another Cresswell and post debacle. Of course we have to wait and see, but for once we have seven days to get ready for our next game.

We have been in their shoes often enough. Norwich were a team without heart, organisation or desire.

Another season in the Championship for them, this time i feel it may be for a while.

Doe us, an easy afternoon for all , players and suppprters. A short trip and opposition that caved instantly. The 4 goal margin flattered them, seven would be par, the gulf in class enormous.

Nice to see Nobes get another run out, and a cracking finish by Benny for his from a well worked move.

Three points is probably enough to see us in the Europa for a 2nd season, i think we will get 4 and a top 6 finish.

Well played West Ham.
