First time I've left game early and by that I mean after 15mins. Poyet is really testing my patience with his selections.

didn't we have a result off the pitch 
It was an utter shambles today, and emotions are raw. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

They are 8 (EIGHT) points behind us and 8 (EIGHT) places below us.
They like the number 8 (EIGHT) don't they?

They didn't cancel out the tippy tappy , once our successful passing rate goes over a certain % we maintain possession and dominate the game.

Don't blame you. To see the same 3 (Painter, Calderon & Dicker) in the team, that have been ripped apart in other games, against PL players, was a hiding to nothing.

So... being found out means absolutely nothing if we play well enough?
Which is the same for any tactic used by any team. So, back to my original point "being found out" is a nonsense cliché.

We were all over Palace for the first 20 minutes back in September then it all got f***ed up because we stuck to a game plan instead of going for the kill.
We lost concentration, our passes went astray, we backed off and gave them too much time and space on the ball. That was nothing to do with being found out and was about us not playing as well as we can after the first 20, and them playing what their fans at the time described as their best performance of the season.
English Championship: West Ham v Brighton 14/04/2012
The goals that counted.
We have defended far worse this season and not be punished for it. Furthermore, we knew that West Ham would just hoof it into the channels. I really didn't like the second goal. The Albion players were in the right positions but they did not deal with the cross.
At Championship standard, I would not expect the opponents to score three. Most likely they would only convert one.
In perspective, the Liverpool and Everton defending was worse in an FA Cup semi-final. Do you agree? We had a few chances. If we were as strong as West Ham we could have made a game of it.
West Ham did not know went right for them. To be fair to them, I did not know what went went wrong for them against Reading at home. I can understand what Gus meant by having a presence in the opposing penalty area. Someone like Carew has it?
PS: This thread started off terrible. Even the West Ham forum has the badges.

My cousins boyfriend is a West Ham STH, and that is the first time he has ever seen them score 6 at home... sums it up really.

It does make me chuckle that so many were delighted when Bring Back Bryan Wade started this thread instead of Perseus. BBBW started the Liverpool 5th round thread if I remember rightly.
