Dimi Payet scored a goal of which Lionel Messi would have been proud against Middleborough today. It WILL win the goal of the season award…totally astonishing and one of the greatest I can ever remembering seeing. If you were unlucky to miss it, don’t fear because we have found it in all its glory. OK […]

James Collins applauded Dim Payt’s extraodinary goal in the 1-1 draw against Middesborough but said: “We can’t keep relying on Dimi to get us out of trouble. “We have to do more defensively and do better going forward but this was a step in the right diction and I thought we were worth three points.” […]

I like Jamie Carragher, have no problem getting past his Scouse accent and believe he speaks as much sense as any in the game and more than most. And for me at least he confirms most of that today when calling for Slaven to remain in his job and addressing the various issues facing us […]

I hope and pray the well publicised squad night out this week comes back to haunt the headline writers tomorrow and the boys really turn it on. I believe there will be a reaction and Slaven’s decision to let them out to sort things on their own over a meal was the right one…it’s the […]

Whichever way I look at it I can’t help believing that West Ham have made a proper dog’s dinner of their striker problems and central to my thinking is Diafra Sakho. Now, I’m fully aware that a section of fans will moan and groan about his attitude and claim they don’t want him at the […]
