Well this is a very West Ham thing to do, isn't it.

Every season we seem to have a night like this, and until we either strengthen our squad sufficiently or play our best available eleven in every game, it will carry on happening.

Waiting for the "It's The West Ham Way" comment!

Good grief. When will we learn. Just play the strongest team possible.

Yep.

This is why I didn't take the mickey out of the Spurs supporters today...you just knew we would be going out.

Ham, you wanted Holland to play.

Jorderz, you wanted Ajeti to play.

I said I was looking forward to seeing Ajeti play because I accepted it was inevitable.

I said earlier in the thread I wanted to see the strongest possible team, and this is why.

Yeoldhammer

So we cant count on our second 11 hope first team don't get injured.

MIAHammer

I'm not saying the score would be any different but I don't really see the logic of resting Fabianski. It's not like he was physically exhausted after the ManU game.

Why West Ham? Why?

Because we're West Ham.

You would have thought that after the total humiliation in the cup last year at Wimbledon Pelle would have done his utmost to ensure that it wouldn’t happen again.

Hamstew

Wimbledon part 2

We’ll probably be away for the third round of the FA cup and we won’t get any home games in the cup.

I also don’t like seeing the draw without us.

And I very much dislike the next round when played.

At least get one back.

thornburyiron

And another one goes in. Shameful.

sweepy23

3-0

sweepy23

Seriously!?!

Lukerz

What an embarrassment

:doh:

baracks_a_hammer

Let’s all laugh at spurs eh?

thornburyiron

Like a bunch of clowns. Masuaku falls over and we have nobody in our half.

Lukerz

The worst part about it is that going down 3-0 boils down to attitude.

That is the worst part & inexcusable.

Problem is haven't seven of the starting line up tonight already been in one of the line ups for us in the Premier League this season?

Yeoldhammer

Quality of depth in squad - heavily lacking...

sweepy23

Went to Wimbledon last year, luckily I didn’t go tonight. Feel sorry for the fans.

Huttonhammer

Things improve then this.

An absolute disgrace.

Yup. Was obvious in the summer, but not properly addressed. Again.

Still, I can't find too much ire as it was all so predictable.

Fortuneseeker

Just makes Saturday's game an even bigger "six pointer" as we have obviously decided to concentrate on qualifying for Europe through our league position. :whistle:

Yeoldhammer

Sanchez deal runs out this season right ? be surprised if he doesn't retire. Not a Premier league player or Championship player or League one player.

jay_in_cpt

At least Spurs only lost on a lottery of penalties we just completely embarrass ourselves, totally unacceptable

Fortuneseeker

Chelsea score seven, Master Lampard respecting the tournament unlike some of the other Premier League managers.

sweepy23

Not even trying. Sanchez not even looking at the ball.

Goodnight.
