West Ham Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Mr Pink]

Sakho expected back for them. First game since November, typical lol

He won't be starting though, no way given he's been out that long.

I think we'll see Alli on the bench as well with Saturday in mind coupled with the fact he has a slight injury problem and also has started the last four games in all competitions - all within a tight time frame.

Think Chadli will start instead.

Another thing I've noticed, heap loads of red cards are shown when they play, both to West Ham and to opponents.
Red cards have been mainly given to West Ham's defenders, on occasion to DMs. But when given to opponents of West Ham, it's mainly to attackers or vital midfielders.
It does make me wonder whether West Ham ... speculate in something ...

Further to my point above:

Expelled for West Ham:
Adrian
Jenkinson
Noble
Collins


Expelled for opponents of West Ham:

Coutinho
Lens (Attacker for Sunderland, had a good game before the card)
Gayle
Fabregas
Ayew
Wanyama

Similar pattern in domestic and international cups.
This is simply not a coincidence, but a deliberate part of West Ham's game plan.

Who wants to take this further and email it to Poch & Perez?

To be fair, we played West Ham with no Payet so we got lucky there.

 

[Good Doctor M]

To be fair, we played West Ham with no Payet so we got lucky there.

He's literally the only player in their team that can cause us problems. Isolate him, stick Toby on him at corners and get him roughed up and we should have more than enough to go there and send them off to the OS with a big "FUCK YOU" from us.

They're emailing all their fans reminding them that they're the best fans in the world, but also reminding them not to be racist homophobic pricks...

Spoiler

Like every other game at the Boleyn Ground this season, Wednesday night’s fixture with Tottenham Hotspur has sold out weeks before the kick-off.

It is one of the reasons why this season we believe you have shown that you are the best supporters in the country. We took 7,200 fans to Blackburn Rovers and could have sold 10,000. We also received more than 50,000 calls in a day from supporters trying to buy one of our 9,000 allocation for the quarter-final at Manchester United, which is now totally sold out. And Season Ticket sales for our new Stadium continue to surpass all expectations and will be sold out within the next few months.

We are sure you will once again demonstrate why you are the best when our north London neighbours visit Upton Park for the last time.

It promises to be an extra special occasion, with two sets of passionate fans in a capacity crowd getting behind their team. Therefore it is vitally important that every West Ham United supporter attending the fixture remembers that they are acting as ambassadors for our Club and their behaviour should reflect the values and standards that we set.

At West Ham, we are rightly proud of our support for causes that promote tolerance and inclusion and tackle discrimination in whatever form it takes.

Therefore, any inappropriate behaviour is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the Club, whether it be in the stadium, the journey to or from the game or any other public place.

Working with the Metropolitan Police, the Club will continue to adopt a simple zero tolerance policy towards any form of anti-social or discriminatory behaviour and any fan found to be acting inappropriately - including racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic behaviour - will be punished to the full extent of the law and banned from attending future matches.

In the rare case that you do see or hear anything you think is unacceptable, there are a number of ways you can report the matter. Two of the easiest ways are to speak to your nearest steward or police officer or use the Boleyn Ground's anonymous fan phone number - 07860 404 069 - where all calls will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

We look forward to a special night under the lights. Let’s make sure it’s one to remember.

Come on you Irons!

The fact that they have to do this is embarrassing.

Have we had to do this at all recently?

I don't recall receiving an email but pretty sure I've seen stuff on the OS regarding fans behaviour for recent derbies

Alli won't play against Dortmund so as long as his ankle's OK I'd expect him to start both our next games.

 

[beats1]

I think people are underestimating West Ham, this is their cup final they will be up for this more than any game they have played in the last couple of years

Funnily enough a lot of their fans complain about our being hooligans...

 

[StockSpur]

lol

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Gulp.

 

[Damian99]

Not interested in their team and who they put in it - We have more quality and so long as we don't choke we will beat them.

 

[hughy]

Only way I'll enjoy this game is if we're 3-0 up inside 10 minutes. Even then I'll probably have a ducking heart attack at every West Ham attack!


Biggest game I can remember for a long time, winning tomorrow would give us a HUGE psychological advantage going in to the NLD. I feel sick already!

 

[npearl4spurs]

What a great ****ing time to have to work tomorrow. At least here in the US I can get a "post-lunch stomach bug" maybe and catch the game.

Then I'll seriously vomit if we lose.

Same, I live in England but I'm on a night shift, I'll be on my own so the laptops coming in, not much work is getting done that's for sure!

 

[Romulus]

Win and we go top. Simples


Hopefully the player's are gunning for this tomorrow

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Got to win this tomorrow! Last time at the Boleyn and we'll go top of the league. They'll be crying in their jellied eels.


Oh and they are up to 19 pages on their match thread. They don't care about us though....

 

[jurgen]

Mark 'Nobes' Noble will definitely try and put a reducer on Alli if he plays, especially if Dele is carrying a niggle.

He's so bog standard hopefully he'll miss and crock himself instead...

 

[glospur]

With a massive game at Upton Park and in the spirit of Lasagne-gate which has reared it's head in the media once again, I wouldn't be fucking surprised if the Spammers accidentally on purpose put something like fucking Sarin gas in their little bubble mixtures and managed to hit our players with every single one of them.

 

[Flashspur]

Remember 2006 and the lasagna lads. Revenge is ours. COYS!!!
