f**k.
Hate the blue filth.
Malouda is quality. We could have nicked a point but didn't deserve it.
Valencia. Berbatov. Fletcher. Park... (Valencia first half worst I've seen him play in the red) All missing in noticeable action today.
Mike Dean makes you want to jump through the F#@%##ing screen.
Not an enjoyable week as Man U fan.

Mike Dean F****d up in the favor of Man U. Clear foul on Anelka in the box by Neville and Macheda's goal has supposedly hit his hand (hard to judge), though Drogba was just offside for his goal.
2-0 in Chelsea's favor would of been a fair result, but i'll take the 2-1 win!!!

Was handball. Dean also missed Nevilles foul in the box in the 1st half.
United were simply shit. Take Rooney out and they did an impression of Burnley. Scholes,Neville, Valencia, Evra are just not good enough for club of their stature.
Berbatov? Mrdja with a headband

At the pub before the game, I predicted 2-1 Chelsea... I is a winna!
Will happily admit we were offside, but will also admit Man U's goal was a handball. But we still came out on top Watching with a bunch of Man U fans was fun...

Glad I'd had a fair whack to drink prior to the game... otherwise would not have been able to put up with it.

The Dildo salesmen currently running West Ham are now just making fools of themselves. There is nothing in this.
According to their MB's even their own fans are cringing.

Evra over the last 3 seasons has been our most consistent player.
I can only think of 2 games (vs aaron lennon) where he has been seriously pasted.
We did not deserve to win that match at all. Lets hope A 1-0 win against munich does the trick.

The Dave Kidd Column
4 April 2010
April Ful joke is on the Delboys of Upton Park
Dave Kidd
It was April Fool's Day, so there was never any chance of David Gold and David Sullivan keeping a low profile.
Picking up the newspapers on the first day of this month, you always try to spot the pranks.
One ran a story that next season's West Ham kit would include pink stripes and be sponsored by the 'adult store' Ann Summers - owned by Gold and run by his daughters Surely too believable to have been an April fool.
Then came a comment from a West Ham spokesman that the club would report Fulham to the Premier League for fielding a weakened team in last weekend's defeat at Hull.
Across the nation, bellies were laughing, ribs were tickled, sides were splitting.
A two-bob outfit which has almost matched Portsmouth for title of Worst-Run Club on the Planet was trying to blame smaller, more successful London rivals for its impending relegation.
This from a club which has lost its last six Premier League matches, including back-to-back home defeats by Wolves and Stoke.
A club where the manager and team are constantly undermined by the outspoken vitriol of its gobby owners.
A club which this season hosted the worst scenes of crowd violence seen inside an English football ground for decades.
A club whose previous owners changed its age-old anthem to 'I'm Forever Blowing Budgets' - paying a total of 34million for the pleasure of having Freddie Ljungberg and Kieron Dyer on their playing staff.
A club which broke its transfer record by spending 9m on somebody called Savio Nsereko - signed from a team run by the father-in-law of its own sporting director.
A club which admitted to lying over the registration of Carlos Tevez and was somehow spared a points deduction by an independent Premier League Commission.
A club which is - get this, here's the punchline, it's a killer - seeking to blame SOMEBODY ELSE for its plight!
Maybe they have conveniently forgotten all those factors. Maybe they have minds like sieves. Or should that be spivs? Gianfranco Zola, the West Ham manager and someone who actually knows the game, agrees that Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has earned the right to pick whichever team he damned well likes.
Having led his club to safety before February was out and having guided them to the Europa League quarterfinals - defeating Juventus and holders Shakhtar Donetsk along the way - Hodgson could have played Jimmy Hill at centre-forward had he wanted to.
He rested five first-teamers and instead sent out a starting line-up of 10 internationals plus Chris Smalling, a kid for whom Manchester United have just paid upwards of 10m.
One of the players whose absence West Ham are whining about was Bobby Zamora, a man they valued so highly they flogged him to Fulham because he could not even get into their first team.
And who has since become a serious England contender.
Fulham lost at Hull - just as they had been beaten by Wolves, Birmingham, Stoke and Blackburn, while fielding their strongest available team.
Hodgson's men are simply not very good away from home - a fact which makes the barefaced cheek of West Ham's appeal even more apparent.
Were it not for the fact that a vast number of the most influential men in the English sporting media are West Ham supporters, the club would be properly regarded as a yo-yo team and would receive no more column inches than West Bromwich Albion.
Charmless A nation yawns at memories of West Ham winning the World Cup in 1966, knowing that the current club bears no resemblance to Ron Greenwood's famed 'Academy' which produced Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters.
Across the land West Ham United are regarded as a charmless laughing stock, betrayed by a succession of hapless owners.
Sullivan and Gold won plenty of plaudits for their outspoken attack on the previous Icelandic owners, who spent like a crew of drunken trawlermen in a knocking shop.
But after a couple of months of their unremitting public outbursts - 'giss 'n Olympic Stadium, guv, go on gissit' - that respect has long since faded and died.
This week Sullivan has been talking about using his racing contacts to find an Arab buyer for the 50 per cent of the club still owned by Icelandic bank Straumur. He said: "English people are a bit reluctant because of the team's position in the league, but we're working hard."
Wealthy Arabs, presumably, are more naive. Which must be why they are sitting on piles of cash.
Yet if anyone can flog a dead horse to a thoroughbred racehorse owner, we trust it will be Sullivan and Gold
