West Ham Online

Thanks to the Chutney Ferret for getting this up and going nice and early. 

I'll post up the usual guff in a bit...

Seeing as stubbo waits til the very last minute to make a match thread...

.........................Hermanson

KWP.....Mavropanos.....Kilman.....Scarles

Traore.....Magassa.....Fernandes.....Lamadrid

........................Taty Costalot

...........................Wilson

Maybe a few on here should be apologising to Kilman, showed his true class in keeping a clean sheet.

Imagine being a professional player at West Ham and being picked to start in that line up. Playing in the
stiffs ia not exactly a confidence booster

Man City only 1-0 up against Salford City after 72 mins with an own goal.  They will probably go on to win 5-0 but these games aren't always as easy as it appears on paper.

Why on earth did the ref stop a promising play by us for?

Truly terrible game/performance, but a win is a bird and all that. 

Only seen brief highlights 
Job done … Bowen & Fernandes given a week off to freshen up
More magic from Jimmy
Another cheating Northern referee with a ludicrous red
Broke the hearts of lower league yokels & their inbred fans 
Hopefully a decent home draw next

On to the Bournemouth game

It was always gonna be a scrap . Remember Farnborough ? 

These fixtures are more often than not a dull affair. So wasn’t surprised it was like this. But was particularly dull. 

if we are getting a big team in the next round let’s have another go at Chelsea. 

You get games like this in the cup, we aren't the only prem team to have a game like this in the cup.  People writing off players careers because of one game in a scrappy cup tie.

Well a wins a win albeit a painful watch, had enough embarrassing cup defeats over the years.  Must say that pitch did look shite, played on better on a Sunday morning.

Yep, any added time is the sole decision of the ref,he is the official time keeper.

Man Ure Arsenal City or Liverpool away nailed on

Mavropanas is beginning to give me Craig Dawson vibes. He will be very unlucky if he's dropped next week, I'd keep him in.

When the ref is clearly desperate to make a name for himself 

Do you think the ref decides how much to add on?

This will go in history of the FA Cup as the dullest match ever.
The lineup was dire, but the quality of players in our club is truly abysmal.

No More BS

Well, now we can go draw Liverpool or City away and be done with this Cup lark!

Going to watch Naarwich now just because I like their kit. As said, at least we're in the hat and plenty for Nuno to chew over after that.

Clean sheet
Round 5
Banana skin avoided ( Remember Palace )

Job done.

( How a referee can give a yellow and then look at the injured player and change it to a red is baffling, let’s hope he stays in the lower leagues )

We're through and in the draw. Don't give a fuck how we got there
