SO, my plans were to live blog the game tomorrow. Then I realized that everyone hates us and we’re not on TV. Buttt if I find some crazy channel in an Asian language I don’t understand, I’ll still do it.

So its the Bogey side. Thee bogey side. There’s no denying it. West Ham seem to be the one side we can never get the 3 points from. We all remember the Tevez affair. I still remember how I felt that day. Personally, I feel that example alone sums up my feelings about playing West [...]

Well, when you field a 5th choice midfield and have two strikers who can’t finish and Given has a hell of a game and your team just aimlessly and wastefully passes and lobs the ball around the field hoping something positive will happen…..
