    See this is why I'm now a little frustrated - we are in a strange place - 7th is pretty much out of sight. Relegation fears were taken care of in Dec/Jan. No cups to play for - it'll likely be 8th to 11th come what may (even before this game)

    Aside from signing the necessary Fonte for oggy and snoddy for Payet that was it in the window

    So why at least couldn't they have brought back, say Cullen, for some decent first team experience. If the loan contract allowed this to happen I'd be very disappointed that it didn't happen.

    Surely there would have been little to lose?

    or

    We could just enjoy it, the win.


    Who knows what Slav will do with a few more wins under our belt and a stable league position.

    Cullen is gone through major developments while on loan...why bring him into a struggling team (which this season we have been)

    I like how they're managing Carroll, hes showing everyone what he's about and if we keep him fit we have a real threat

    What is worrying is the lack of a replacement as we really lost something when he was off the pitch

    But have to be delighted up to 9th, in gold form Snodgrass looked very lively and good to see Kouyate back even if he was out of position

    Champo

    Arguably if the team weren't struggling he wouldn't get a look in anyway?

    Not taking anything away from a magnificent performance but if, as some people suggest, the Dave's were keeping the chequebook zipped, other avenues definitely need to be explored.

    Once again the likes of koeman and poch are more than open to giving their youngsters opportunities

    Did you predict the rugby right too??!!

    Moore

    BBC website originally gave our third goal to Davis but changed it 5 minutes later and gave it to Noble.

    I've no idea if Davis also had a hand in ACs goal as I've not seen it.

    COME ON YOU IRONS ;clap ;bowdown

    Carroll 'groin twinge' apparently.

    I hope for Slav and the boards sake it's days not weeks.

    Fantastic win so pleased especially after the city game well done lads.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Moore ;ok

    Sorry I misunderstood.

    Poor Davis ;lol

    Thought we were very classy first half, dogged second half and worthy of our 3 points overall. Certainly lost something when the big man was withdrawn, but there is no alternative.

    Obiang outstanding.

    Actually yes. Predicted scotland would win and do much better this year and thought england would edge it though didnt have chance to bet.

    Brilliant win. Atmosphere was brilliant. Best I've heard in a long time.
    Singing 'super Slav' so loud he kept acknowledging us. ;bowdown

    Out best players for me were Obiang and Snodgrass. Obiang has completely proved me wrong this season, what a player. Snodgrass looked good on the ball but what impressed me most was his work rate. Never stopped all game ;clap

    Noble, although a little sloppy at times, led the team well. He made some brilliant challenges and set the tone with his commitment.

    Randy made some smart saves and looked pretty comfortable. Reid strong as ever and Fonte grew into the game after being a bit nervous early on.

    The players came over to us at the end, led by Carroll and Kouyate. Nobes at the end applauded the support. Bilic even popped his head around the tunnel to say thanks again.

    Great day. Coyi

    We've taken 28 points from our last 18 PL games, with 19 points coming from our past 10 league games.

    Those opening 6 games, where we lost five, are basically all that separates us from the top six again.

    ;ok

    That's the main reason for doing the next 8 games thread.

    It's easy as fans to get sucked into focusing on the last game, and forgetting that we should judge things over a season.

    Amazing how we've gone from the first team at the start of last season to the side that lined up yesterday. Just incredible how quickly personnel change.

    Would Payet be the reason for that? The first couple of games where he was given all the liberties and was permitted to come back from the Euros.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    tbf Munich, could we really have got him back much sooner? He (and all the players) are legally entitled to a summer break.
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    I don't have the exact dates available vut I think it did unsettle the team. There probably was a lot of uncertainty about him. Randy and Ginge didn't go out all that much sooner and they were available to play.
  • HammerexHammerex
    Great performance by the Hammers, thought we would do well to get a draw
    to be honest. Obiang had a great game, and thought Snodgrass did much better
    than I expected. A.C. was at his best, causing havoc in their defense, if only he
    could stay fit for a whole season, we would be up there pushing for a qualifying place in Europe.

    V arsenal in 15/16 first league game of the season?

    That wasn't the team - that team had Zarate (who scored) and Oxford in it? And also featured Nolan, Jarvis and Maiga off the bench?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Club being classy, as ever.

    'Hammers stuff Saints' is headline of match report on OS.

    ;doh
  • LukerzLukerz
    Baracks - no I meant that was the regular side on average for the first few months of that season. ;ok
  • LukerzLukerz
    And can I just say I got it completely wrong with Obiang.

    At £4.5m, gotta be one of the best bargains in the league for his age?

    One of the best DM's currently.
