[Football] ‘Ammers not ‘appy

[ROBS BROTHER]

We’ve been lucky that so many teams have saved their worst game of the season for when they play us.

Fulham you mean

Remember the O’Hara thing well …subbed at HT ….end of season game ..they lost two nil…went over to the fans at the end of the game ..he threw his shirt into the away end and they threw it back

Same here. Hot sunny afternoon wasn’t it? Went round to the NS afterwards to meet a brother and celebrate the win. Everyone allowed to take their pints out to the sunny outside. Peter Ward came down to say hello, he was mobbed, whilst his original chant was sung.

He shot he scored it must be Peter Ward?

Is Declan Rice one of the most overrated players in the league. He was an embarrassment

Needs to play with good players. He’d be fine next to any of Gross, MacA or Caicedo.

 

[Icy Gull]

I said this to my mate earlier, apparently just about every team are absolute shithouse when they play us, absolutely nothing to do with us making them look so poor !

That is exactly what the radio coverage I listened to on the way home was. Very little praise for the Albion other than a brief mention of how we are a good team and it’s hard for teams to come to the Amex. Nothing at all about how we played and how we outclassed WHU.

Oh well :

Their forum barely mentions us. Seems they beat themselves.

Found this

Really bad. Can't remember us looking so bad. Brighton are obviously better than us, but still...

Looked to me like a squad management issue. The Saturday fixture followed by Wednesday in the cup, then Saturday again and with a looming Thursday: that's a tough run for any squad, let alone one that's thin to begin with and has little rotation. I think the result against United was quite gutting for the squad – somehow I suspect that if we'd lost 4-0 at Old Trafford, we would actually have put in a better shift today.

But some pretty diabolical performances, led by Ben Johnson who didn't seem to do anything right all match. Have no idea why Ings wasn't taken off for Antonio at some point in that second half. Sure, he wasn't getting any service, but his pressing was rubbish and everything that came to him bounced off. Rice and Soucket looked knackered, Benrahama a busted flush, Emerson zero confidence. I hope that we take the Larnaca game as an opportunity to rotate, because frankly winning the European Conference League the same season we get relegated would be embarrassing. Has to be a safety first approach from now.

That all said: how good are Brighton? So, so frustrating to see a team that spends so much less than us out-performing us in every department. Their recruitment of players both at their peak and youth (not to mention manager) is the model we should aspire to, rather than it open chequebook approach of recent seasons.

Hammers looked a bit lost out there, like they never knew what hit them. Completely fell apart in the second half. Lucky for them that Areola produced some fine saves, else it could have been much much worse

That save from Enciso's shot was the tits

If he’s worth £80 million, Caicedo is worth double, though 40 million of Rice’s value is because he’s English.

Thought it was three nil Besides that, remember it well!

 

[WATFORD zero]

I didn't think that I would ever say this, but I feel a bit of sympathy for West Ham.

When we turn up in that mood, who would really fancy playing us

 

[portlock seagull]

Love the way we’re known as Brighton & F ucking Hove Albion to West Ham fans.

Thanks for the 3 points again lads!

 

[World of Sport]

I was surprised how they booed their team off at HT
That done the them the power of good

 

[LamieRobertson]

There was a lot of this going on

 

[Oh_aye]

Did they start the getting sacked in the morning chant, which we then joined in on? Loved that. Reminded me of Albion and Wolves fans jointly baiting Jamie O’Hara circa 10 years ago.

Yes they deffo started it. I felt sorry for them by the end to be honest. Absolute garbage and they've clearly given up.

 

[LamieRobertson]

…only about three players got near their support at the end of the game ..amidst a fair amount of gesticulating

 

[A1X]

To be fair, they don’t donate to the Tory party to have to put up with this

West Ham used club money to donate £9,000 to Conservative party in 2022

West Ham United used club money to make a £9,000 donation to the Conservative party last year

Brighton 2-0 Wolves

Two goals from Kazenga LuaLua give Brighton victory and cement a second successive relegation for Wolves.

Yes I was watching it. Very funny. Fair play to Bowen and Rice being the only ones to go but they got f***ed off immediately. First time seeing Rice live for me and he looked terrible and disinterested.. compare him to Caicedo...

Like Fulham you mean.









Took the words out of my head

I can answer the Antonio question quite easily, he wasn’t in the match day squad
