Morning All,
Think Sunday could see quite a decent game if we turn up, however wouldn't be surprised to see yourselves win quite comfortably.
The reason being, our pitch kills us, we have picked up seven wins at home this term, and only one of those was against one of the "big sides" Spurs last Friday. Spurs who struggled in Europe at home (Wembley) on a big pitch. Spurs were possibly the first side to look as lost as we have, which was nice to see for obvious reasons.
Liverpool will be able to make use of the space much like City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Southampton did. We are still getting used to the size of the pitch, I think there is only about 10 metres of difference, but Christ has it made a difference. They had to extend the pitch to make the gaps between fans shorter though, the board spun us so many lies about sight lines, and the distance being the same as The Boleyn, they have had to sacrifice a pitch that our team was used to playing on. I shan't bore you with an endless rant about the Porn Barrens and that Tory shite Brady. However please do not be fooled into thinking that 85% of West Ham fans wanted the move which Gold spouts at any given opportunity. It is a lie.
Hope you enjoy your trek South, by all accounts the view from the away end is pretty shit, and you feel far from the action, just count your blessings you don't have to go every other week.
Finally, keep the fight up against Patrick Barclay, how such an odious twat can make comments about the SCUM journalists being treated unfairly is quite frankly sickening. What you have achieved is nothing short of amazing. JFT96
Good Afternoon,
Well as I said, I could see you winning quite comfortably, and that you did. We were bloody awful, think that win against Spurs was the signal for ourselves to get in holiday mode. I mean they more than deserve it, after such a great season....
Coutinho deservedly taking the plaudits, ran the show. Such a clever player, quick, both footed and more than effective in front of goal. Also thought the lad Matip did very well, not anything spectacular, but made sure we didn't have a sniff.
Sturridge took his goal very well, but looked a bit mythed about being taken off. I liked the commentator who said his injury record is something that concerns Liverpool, he then went on to say "but West Ham might be interested" of course we bloody would.
Hope you claim 4th spot, Wenger seems to be upset about us lying down, unfortunately we weren't lying down. We are just bloody awful.
Also Jurgen is a top bloke, a few years back we went over to Dortmund and tried to get a tour round the ground, got there and they said there was no space. Luckily one of the guys who did it, said slip him a few Euro and he would show us the press room, and the pitch. Only wanted to see the pitch. As we walked down some corridor, Mr Klopp appeared and started chatting to us. Told him where we were from and who we followed. Had an outstanding knowledge of West Ham, and British football in general. Had a few photos and then he showed us the pitch. Not from the stand, but the actual touch line. Really incredible gesture, and shows him for what he is.
All the best for next season. JFT96
