The Mark Noble Thread

Yeoldhammer

Think Antonio and Payet would be above Noble for Hammer of the year but he certainly has stepped up this season.

Don't agree he has being doing this every season though, he has had some bad seasons. You can always make a case for any player it is the players around them, but it is the 11 on the pitch that have to make it work to whatever skill set they have.

Given that Nobes contributions have led to far more positive outcomes for the side this season than many of the previous, it's hard to argue that he hasn't upped his game

I go back to Scott Parker. For example in the grant season there weren't a huge amount of "positive moments" - however Parker was instrumental in an awful lot of the good moments we did have - hence his FWA player of the year accolade

And I don't think you'll see Noble leave us for Spurs either.

Which helps.

;ok

Barring injury and/or a dramatic tail off in form, Payet would seem to be a likely winner of HOTY. However a huge mention should go to Ginge who IMO has been nothing short of magnificent this season. He more than most kept us going when injuries ravaged us prior to Xmas.

Think we should scrap HOTY this season and just give it as a squad award to everyone.

I was just about to post a pretty identical thing, grey. Team of the year. But that would probably have to include a bench, too, as Randy has been great, too.

Paul Merson on Soccer Saturday this morning.

"If you are talking about Drinkwater [for the Euros] you have to take Mark Noble".

And Nobes can take penalties too (although it's been so long that he's probably forgotten what to do ;whistle )

Mark Noble today becomes the first ever West Ham player to reach 250 appearances in the @PremierLeague.

Interesting XI

------------Butland
Francis--Dawson--Dann--Daniels
------------Drinkwater
-------Noble-------Barkley
-------------Dele Alli
----------Vardy---Kane

I would actually love to see that XI for England. Except Cresswell and Tomkins in, with Carroll and Antonio on the bench ;wink

SuzanneClaret

It's a team fans could get behind.

Swissiron

No one there from Man C, Man U, Chelsea or the Pool

SuzanneClaret

Swiss, which is why I think its a team fans could get behind ;biggrin

Vorselaarhammer

Who is Francis???

eskimoking

I agree Suze. We're a nation that is known for wanting the underdog to win, so having a team of hardworking, but talented underdogs is surely what we want?

Barkley and Delle don't fit that tag, but the others do.

MrsGrey

vorse - Bournemouth?

SuzanneClaret

Not Trevor then? How disappointing ;biggrin

Vorselaarhammer

MrsGrey ;ok

I am seem to be a clueless as Roy...

Cant say I've seen him or that his made an impression on me.

MrsGrey

vorse, I know the name but couldn't pick him out of a line-up. ;ok
