West Ham and Man U

[pommpey]

I was eternally refreshed yesterday to see that Ferguson's lot of sometimes-misfiring superstars could bring it upon themselves to raise above the tedious and fortunate (how Vidic stays on the pitch during games like that would be possibly one the dour faced cock-hole could elaborate upon, maybe?) and actually beat Trevor Brookings Very Own (TM) West Ham United after going down 2-0 at half time. Let's not take away the fact that the match itself showed what a shower of bobbar WHU have in their back four (Upson ... for England? Yeah. So is Nosworthy ... ) and that Rooney is a superlative striker and w**ker in the same breath, but on bare facts that a few years ago these Olympians, having got the season sewn up, put in a flaccid showing against TBVOWHU with the striker they then 'purchased' from them scoring the very goal (ha, what defending, eh?) that committed us to where we are, right now.

Okay, many will say, 'if you'd have won more games, you'd have stayed up', which in itself is a glibly-put truth and there is not a Blade who will deny that. It smarts a bit that Kosluk's goal at Upton Park was valid and those points would have mattered, and countless other misfortunes we had that season go undocumented. Some might say that Nade should have had a penalty and other games could have gone our way, like Liverpool at the Lane and Danny Webber's post-hit versus Wigan. Thems the breaks (although I can't recall us getting much luck, if I think about it). But aside from the actual illegality of TBVOWHU's actions, the fact they were kept in the PL by rite and not by virtue and we have yet to se anyof the so-called 'compensation' payments make an impact shows what a crock of shit the PL is, and how incestuous an entity the FA can be when it comes to their fashionable, 'workin' clarse, mate' east London teams who have some sort of 'legacy' (i.e. Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst played for them) attached.

Lets also not go and chunder too much about Sheffield's legacy to Association Football, and how their two teams are now forgotten echoes struggling to keep their heads above water. As much as I despise the f**king pigs with a passion near-on hatred, I would hate to see them slip lower than where they are, because it will (these days) be a long, hard journey to get back to where they (spit) and us (COYRAWW) will enjoy 30,000 fans screaming at each other and Lord Michael Brown volleying in a 25 yard thunderbolt past teh despairing hands of fatty Pressman again.

Shame on Man U, and shame on West Ham.

amen to that.I hope wet sham sink without a trace, and Manure go under with billions of debt.

Nice one, pommpey. I know what flaccid means - it's a problem for me, too! Agree with you about the Pigs, Wet Sham and Manure. I am convinced that what brains Rooney might have must be in his boots anyway, they certainly ain't in his head!

I`m afraid the mere mention of darling west ham brings me out in a fit of teeth gnashing & fist clenching. The first ever club to get away with a cast iron points deduction with a donated £50 million bonus (by staying up).

Yep Pommpey, that final match at man utd was a disgrace, as was the immensely biased FA & also i guess Liverpool for their weak side at fulham the previous week.

Warnock stuffed up big time with his tactics, but having said that, it was never a fair playing field from the very first game. If we`d have committed the same act that uncle trevor`s spawn committed then we`d have been given a 38 point deduction, a go directly to jail , do not pass go, appoint bryan robson & kevin blackwell for your sins card (we got part of that anyway!)

Nice to see west ham lose, they deserve relegation,as do their terminally gormless sack of shit fans.

Warnock did f**k up at times, but the proof in his abilities is right there, in our faces at the moment. You get someone with cash to give to Warnock - just like Redknapp - and he'll buy the right players and make you a team of winners. We almost had that during 2002-03, save for a few non-performers and certainly lacked most of that a few seasons later when we'd lost Jags and LMB and lacked the creativity and drive of Tongy (when he could be arsed) and doggedness of Chief and McCall to play through their age and do the business. Obviously they'd have been toast in the Prem - you need skill and speed up there (and the ability to cheat like f**k) but the mere fact we are where we are isn't down to Warnock per se, more down to the incompetence of McCabe et al to secure the services of a credible replacement to make us good in quick time. We are thirty-odd months down the line since the Wigan game, and I don't think I have seen or read of a match where I have had that feeling I had back in 1971 when we actually looked like something good, or during Basset's years when we were renowned battlers. The best it has been has been Forest, Leeds and a fleeting glimpse at silverware in countless PO Finals and Semis.

We don't want Sheffield to become another Bristol.
