    They did a tribute to Bobby Moore before the game and now they disgrace themselves.

    I'd say they'll get points docked for this one.

    I generally don't wish ill on any club as a whole, but I'd love West Ham to go down.

    That's pretty terrible, poor kids.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,167 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    A 5 point deduction be great for them.

    Havto play behind closed doors for a few games I'd say.

    LOL at people thinking The FA will punish West Ham in any significant way, shape or form.

    Maybe one invasion they might get away with but that was hard to excuse.

    The other sanction would be to play Joe Hart for the rest of the season :)

    2 extra minutes, according to LiveScore.

    Looking at the teams at the bottom of the table...

    Their managerial appointments have backfired. The old guard are more dinosaurs than saviours.

    I remember the adulation Roy Hodgson was getting in here when he first took over
    A coward of a man in a relegation battle ffs. I wonder what excuses he will use
    Stoke couldnt get anyone in but even they aimed at the likes of MON
    The only one of the old guard id want anywhere near my club is Big Sam

    Hodgson is a good manager. Didn’t he keep Fulham up one season when they were dead and buried. That included a 3-2 win away to a decent City side having been 2-0 down. Don’t forget he took over a team that had lost all 7 of their games and hadn’t scored a goal. He has them fighting for their lives.

    Despite Roy Hodgson taking Fulham out somehow, having a better record than Allardyce, and remember where Palace were before Hodgson?

    I've never seen Allardyce take a team to a UEFA Cup final.

    Hodgson is a poor manager
    Big Sam has gotten teams to safety countless times. Hodgson is a glorified failure, if he was foreign he wouldnt get near a job in England

    3 - 0 and another pitch invasion.

    West Ham should be fined and docked points.

    Invasion? 5 or 6 guys in total during the match...more of a few incursions rather than an invasion.

    There will be a fine no doubt but docking points is just silly. Not that it matters a damn as we are going down anyway.
    This is an exact repeat of what happened to Sullivan/Brady/Gold at Birmingham. They have done the exact same thing at WHU as they did there and it will end the same way...with protests until they are gone. Parasites. Relegation and a fresh start next season would be good.

    Seemed to have no problems getting national jobs around Europe (and being successful at them) and the Inter job twice. Wish I was that poor.

    Therefore Allardyce is a poor manager, considering each managers record?

    You do realize how Italy works with managers, maybe have a quick google. As for national jobs are you serious. Its not France/Germany he was leading

    I'd have a certain fondness for the hammers after spending some time in that area many years ago, and attending the old Bolyn ground. Seeing their soul being ripped out by these shysters is extremely sad. Gangsters being handed a(now almost) free stadium by taxpayers., only spent twenty something million on players since the big move, lots of money being siphoned off by the owners.

    Pretty OTT reporting of the protests though, a few headers on the pitch, not really an invasion. From what I've heard, the stadium is completely unsuitable for stewarding and segregation for soccer, with large concourses in the stadium. Add to that owners who look as if they are more interested in making a quick buck than anything else, anger will prevail.

    Wow, Vardy got some goal today!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    That was a disgusting challenge from Knockaert.

    Baines was very, very lucky.

    Lost the head when he got hit in the face with the all by baines moments earlier, what a knockeart.

    Red card too for Ayeu for Swansea. Both him and the Huddersfield player went in studs up, both should have been sent off or none.

    And that’s all that the money takers care about.. the season tickets have already been sold so they don’t care.. when the renewals come around, that’s when we will see if the fans hold out..

    Just watching the West Ham stuff now.


    The need to be fined heavily and have points deducted and hopefully by the end of the season they are relegated.

    I think they will be fine relegating themselves without the need for a points deduction.. they are proper imploding

    Maybe but the bottom five right on all deserve to go down. Southampton being the only ones I'd like to see survive.
