Lasagna for dinner tonight. All Yids invited for

West Ham thread
looks like hogan ephraim is off. half a mill to Colchester
Just had a quick look at that site uiron.... theres a great
headline there.....
Roeder for England jod....hahahahahaha
love it. complete toilet.
good site tho and faster than newsnow which has always been
slow. think there is a beta version now.
Cant help thinking that the pressure was off both keepers in todays
game and it showed in different ways.
With England out of Europe, Robinson had the monkey off his
back for a while to regain form. He played well.
On the other hand, the change in England management will
probably give Green a better chance and with no games for a while,
he is not in the position of having to perform week in week out to
get a sniff.
Although these thoughts only apply in terms of
international games, there is still the normal club pressure
present, it must have given both keepers an opportunity to forget
about international duty for while.
Make sense, or rubbish??
Pretty bad blunder by Green to let in the first goal but he made up
for it in style.
My most anticipated game of the season this weekend. Hope they
stick the blue flag up their arse!!!
faubert looks likely to train this week! the future is bright
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11685_2927258,00.html
God it seemed so far away when he was injured and was going to be
out until January. Now we're almost there, and still in the top ten
and both cups.
This really has been a good test of depth and the Coles,
Spectors, Mullins and Bowyers have stood up and been counted.
Possibly add to that the redeveloping form of Boa Morte and
Solano.
Havent felt this confident going into Christmas for a while,
with all these players starting to return and the fringe
players proving they are up to it. No recent mention of
Bellamey though, other than that he is probably going to have
another operation.
Traditionally, we have usually got our share of points from
the big four, hopefully we can push on and clear out from a few of
the next bracket of Everton, Blackburn, Villa, Newcastle and
Portsmouth.
Sad about Harry. I would have liked to see him have a go at
the top job.
uiron2007-11-29 19:43:23
yes time flies. I havent even seen Faubert play.
Apparently hes the business. Creative mid fielder, which I reckon
we lack a bit (pre Salano) with the loss of Yossi.
But i agree its a good time to be a hammer!
With all the injuries slowly making a come back with
Parker, Deano etc we are in a good postion.
One name I havent heard for a while is Zamora. What happened
to him? I remember hearing he had surgery some time back.
Yeah Bobby Z is injured. Could be tough getting back though with
Coles form of late.
West Ham are paying $10 to beat Chelski. i find that so
offensive that I'm puttinging a lazy tenner on it. I dare you
to do the same.
I must admit I was one of the many sl*gging off cole. but he has proved himself. I hope its him and deano against the chav's. cole has the highest assist rate in the prem.
my money will be on a draw.
WHAT PRICE SILVERWARE
League Cup home quarter final against Everton. Good chance of
progressing. Three wins away from Silverware. Our best hope
this year.
FA Cup Home draw against Citeh. Lesson learned. Beat them in
our last successful run to the Final. Can progress.
Top 6 and Europe. Bellamey, Ashton and Green need to stay out
of the physio room for us to do this. Faubert could be a bonus for
the last couple of moinths when he is match fit. Good depth in mid
field and back. 40% chance.
Top 4. Another season maybe.
League Champions. Priceless
uiron2007-12-04 11:08:25
Blackburn and no Nelsen this week. Mind you they did beat Newcastle
conviningly.
uiron2007-12-04 18:48:44
On Sky AGAIN!!!!!
We have got our fair share of points against these guys
recently.
Fixtures and my predictions to Xmas
H Everton1
A Middlesborough 3
H Reading 3
H Man Utd 0 Our great run against them has to end sooner or
later.
We had 20 points on the 2nd March last year. We have 19
now.
Tough times in January
Arsenal,Fulham, Man City League & Cup, Liverpool
1 - 0 To the Cockney Boys!!!!
Got the jinks on that lot havent we.
That was three big points in the context of our run into
Christmas.
Availability News
Nobby Solano is cup-tied (as is Henri Camara) so Lee Bowyer
may well make a return to the team and the right wing. Carlton Cole
is eligible to play despite picking up a fifth yellow card on
Saturday, he is banned for the Boro game on the 22nd. That
must mean he can play in both Everton games. No mention of
Etherington's ankle injury. Dont be surprised to see Wright between
the sticks. Ferdninand back in training
Bellamy and Zamora still not training, Faubert due back end
Jan.
Paulo Di Canio has a 7 page article in QC for those that read
it. Apparently he says he would like to manage West Ham.
Missing believed dead. Other people to contribute to this
thread.
still alive uiron!!!
i hope curbs puts green in goal. I have a feeling he takes the
cup seriously and will be out to win. I would of preferred
nobby to play as i think hes doing very well is was the bargain of
the transfer window.
theres alot of talk about a bust up between curbs and deano,
all media bull sh it im sure, but the barcodes are loving it,
linking deano with them!!!! it was only last week the media were
reporting deano saying he has a debt to repay to WH for his injury
lay up.
imagine PDC at west ham again. What a laugh that would be. he
would be banned from the touch line at every game!!! LOL
harry was clearly upset with the villians last week after they
were sing you'll.. get bummed in the showers!! refering to the
bungs LOL.
Nobby's been great but he's made a hash of a couple of great chances to score.
Whats this about Paolo?
PDC was asked if he would like to manage Lazio to which he replied
or WHU
Nobby's been great but he's made a hash of a couple of great chances to score.

This was the article on the West Ham Till I Die website that
started the discussion about PDC. Obviously not a mate of
Totti!!
Paolo Di Canio in GQDecember 10, 2007
Flicking through December�s issue of GQ (as you do) what do I find but a seven page feature interview with my all time West Ham favourite Paolo Di Canio! It�s a pity it isn�t online anywhere, as it�s a fantastic read. Anyway, here are three choice quotes for your delight and delectation.
On the aftermath of the Paul Alcock incident
One second, Winterburn is barking at me like a dog. The next he is wetting his pants. All I did was look at him.
To A C Milan Manager, Fabio Capello
F*** yourself. Who are you to talk to me like this. He took a step back and fell over a kit bag.
On English football
England is the perfect place to play for a footballer. There is education and there is passion. I love English supporters and I love English people� What I love about England is that it is 90 minutes of battle�run, fight. English football is my favourite football.
On doping
Doping in English football is restricted to lager and baked beans with sausages. After which the players take to the field belching and farting.
On Francesco Totti
Totti had said that he wouldn;t sit at the same table and have dinner with me. I said that was no great loss, because if you tell Totti that there are tensions in the Middle East, he�ll think that a fight has broken our on the right side of midfield.
I was particularly stuck by his answer to a question of whether he would like to manage Lazio. Immediately he replied�
Or West Ham United.
Now that would be a roller coaster!
CARLING CUP HALF TIME 1 - 1.
Cole (12)
Osman (40)
Fulltime 1 - 2 Loss.
75TH

Bugger
thats ok.. we'll have ya in the league thanks
Mix up by Green and Gabbidon 
Oh well focus on this weekend who we play
.................................Everton.
1 - 0 To the Cockney Boys!!!!
Got the jinks on that lot havent we.
That was three big points in the context of our run into
Christmas.
was at the game last sunday (Blackburn away) and it was a
great 3 points. deano looked very sharp when he came on
(aside from the miss) and looks like he is getting back to his
best.
The Hammers are LIVE again on Sky Sports this weekend.
Carlton Cole has an injury so if he doesn't play its all up to
Deano.
Can't understand why Noble has been left on the bench the last
few weeks? Seems a waste to me.
Might even give Kyel Reid a run. He was on the bench on Wednesday.
Or Boa Morte up there if Etherington fit.
Faubert only two weeks away from starting training. Hope we
can hang in there until him and Bellamy get back.
Just seen the goal. What a mare!! They wont do that one again.
Gabbidon has been in really good form recently, but has always got
that look of casualness about him. Must be making it hard for
Ferdinand to get back in, and Collins is coming back into the
picture too.
Any of you guys having one at the backbencher before the
game tonight?
Nah I'm in Auckland.
Gudmundsson buys out Eggy, to take 100% ownership, sinks 30 million
pounds additional into the West Ham Holdings coffers and says, lets
push on for the 60,000 stadium and future European dominance. (See
BBC)
Stuff the League Cup for this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is cole injured? thats bad news.
i normally go to the thistle before the game uiron. to pi ssed
to type at the mo.
deano will be happy with a start. he's ready. that will shut
the media up about the rift.
West Ham face being down to just one fit striker for Saturday's Premier League clash with Everton after Carlton Cole aggravated a long-standing hip problem.
The Upton Park side's injury crisis deepened when Cole was forced off in the second half of last night's Carling Cup quarter-final defeat to the Toffees.
The Hammers are already down to the bare bones with Craig Bellamy and Bobby Zamora on the long-term injury list, manager Alan Curbishley had no forwards available to even include on the bench last night.
Dean Ashton is still chasing full-match fitness but started his first game since October in the 2-1 defeat and may have to lead the line on his own this weekend.
"We are into double figures again on the injury list and one or two of the players came off suffering last night. I will have to see what I have left for the weekend," said Curbishley.
"When you come into the quarter-final of the cup and you can't get a forward on the bench it is frustrating.
"The injuries showed up. They were sharper and more physical than us."
Cole was an early arrival at West Ham's Chadwell Heath training ground on Thursday morning to undergo treatment in the hope he will be passed fit to feature at the weekend.
"I have been playing with a bad hip for about four or five weeks now and last night it just seized up," he said.
"It restricted me a bit and I couldn't influence the game as much as I wanted to."
Excuses, excuses.

Dare I say it ................ "Down to bare bones
at the moment"
I have a feeling Curbs didnt want to spend in the Jan transfer
window cos with all the injuries coming back it would be a like
having new players anyway. I have to agree with h4e... we are
down to our bare bones!! Apparently we have a young hungarian
on trial(?) If BG has some $$ for curbs he should spend it.
thought parker was good today.
Yeah Parker looked great. He made a couple of poor passes
but it was great to see him getting back to 100%. Was also
good to Ljungberg start to play like we know he can.
I hate to use injuries as an excuse, but the balance of the
team didn't seem right today and you can only say that was because
of who we had out injured.
P.S. It could be just me but Deano hasn't seemed himself
the last couple of weeks. I fear a move could be on the cards in
January.

[/QUOTE]
Thinking the same about Ashton myself. No celebration after
the goal on Wednesday and glum look all day with niggly
fouls.
Be pi**ed off if he is looking for a move after we have missed
out on him all this time, and paid for operations and rehab.
Parker. Great game. First time I have seen him dominate in his
role.
Never thought I would be sorry to see Coles go off, but he is
really performing.
The commentators may have answered the Noble Bench Warming
situation today, still getting over injury.
Missed Gabbidon.
The Solano sub was the one that got me. The other fella can go
back to Wigan hwenever he likes.
I also thought that Parker looked good, getting better each game.
Ljunberg cam bugger off, thought excellent buy at the start
but don't think he really has contributed this season.
Ashton needs to get fit and hungry like beginning of the
season.
Defensively think we are strong except Neill, should be left
out for the next couple of games for a rest. Doesn't look good to
me but that could be due to a lack of a proper break this
season.
No pace up front is whats causing us big problems, unable to
hit teams on the break. When Dyer, Faubert, Bellermy, Boa Morte,
and Ethrington are fully fit we should at least have some
pace.
Cole and Camara are not PL material. We need to buy or loan
someone in New Year.
As much as I don't like him, think Bowyer is needed to play
for a bit more muscle in the mid, plus he is popping up scoring
goals.
Game against Everton - As Curbs says we lacked some quality.
No one in team to finish against better playing teams. I was hoping
for a draw from this game but don't think that many clear chances
were made and when they were was taken poorly. Though saying that
Everton looked good, nice passing and full of confidence.
Bad result and also T*ttenham winning made it a bad day. Shame
really as other results went our way. Big weekend next week against
Smoggies. A must win.
