So am I right in thinking if we beat Apoel, we top the group, regardless of what happens in Dortmund?

He was feeling the occasion initially with all his trickery, you could tell.

For as much as he's lost over the years he's still a dangerous fucker and a fantastic player. Like they said in commentary, he was the only one who looked any bit good on the ball for them and he very rarely lost it. I personally really like him as a player in terms of the way he plays but it's the other stuff like not celebrating other team mates contributions or goals or moaning at them constantly and such that I don't like. The somewhat selfish side to him.

For those of you at the game last night, did anyone else struggle to get a programme? They were sold out absolutely everywhere, before and after the game!

You do know that when they say something like that, anything like that, they don't feel the need (or have to) qualify it so that viewers feel they are being 'balanced'. They didn't 'forget' to say anything because they didn't have to. Its live TV, they don't come out with something and then think 'oooh, better say something about Spurs to keep their fans happy'

If they did they'd spend the entire match doing that instead of actually, you know, commentating on events on the pitch.

I really REALLY don't understand why people seem to take it all so literally and/or get peeved by it. I am now the official campaign chief for the fans talk as much bollocks as the commentators do party

Dunphy and his amazing rattling false teeth was a joy to behold when trying to pronounce 'Alderwiereld' but as I said earlier in last night's posts it was pathetic the way that they switched the narrative around saying that according to Danny Rose ..Harry Kane was on £100k p.wk and all the others were on £63k p.wk whil others in the PL are on double that.

Couldn't resist having a quick peek a the Kumb website as they always seem to be keen to belittle any of our achievements even in the face of irrefutable evidence to the contrary and whilst it was probably said tongue in cheek it does make you wonder whether some of them actually believe their own deluded rantings.

At 10.36 yesterday night after our 3-1 win a Spammer on their Kumb website came out with this predictable line -
"Now it's official - West Ham are better than Real Madrid"

West Ham have lived in a parallel universe since 1966 and all that.

I personally didn't try and get one, but I did notice before kick-off and half time that no one around me had one, which I thought was a bit weird as people usually skim through them at these times. Maybe there was a bit of a shortage.

True; somewhere in between hell and purgatory

Meanwhile, back in the real world:

I’m convinced that if it wasn’t for the Wembley hoodoo we’d have beaten RM last night.

I feel most pleased for Trippier, kept his head down, his mouth shut and worked hard and considering some on here have said he's not really that good, I think the lad deserves a special mention.

Absolutely. He was exceptional last night, when most probably questioned why Poch chose him. The two crosses across the box (the one Dele missed and the goal) were world class.

Me and I reckon at least 2,000 others missed the entire first half due to the complete cluster fuck with ticket collections. A programme was the least of our worries. Absolute shambles.

Spartan spurs, see the size and height of us lining up against madrid at the start... they looked like minnows

When the group was drawn I honestly thought we'd be back in the Europa post Xmas.
Unbelievable really.

One of the most over rated players in world football must be Kroos. Hes literally done nothing in every game I've seen him play.

Winks was better than him again last night.

Random one, but Did Dier take a swing at Benzema in the first half? Seemed to be a bit of a coming together and he left an elbow on him?

he's very good but unspectacular, works hard, passes well, keeps things ticking and just slots into the team
