Shakespeare pedant alert!

The quote is "All that glisters..."

Sorry.

['bout now]

In the context of our two Porn barons, I hardly think it matters if it glistens or glisters, either way it will have a German accent and lots of pubic hair. Brings a whole new meaning to I'm Forever blowing......

Can't say I'm too happy about our new owners but I suppose it's better than nothing.

Who is Shakespeare? I speak the lingo of the common man.

As a pool fan, I probably shouldn't have found this quite so funny, but I did.

Portsmouth's application to have a High Court winding-up petition struck out is dismissed (breaking news BBC/Sky).

For ???? and Mockney really, but Tony Cottee is signing books in the shop on Devonshire Row (just off Bishopsgate) tomorrow. Thought you might be interested.

Good first half - but who was Tevez telling to shut up after he scored? Was it Mark Lawrenson up in the commentary box for continually saying it was so easy for United...

[Atila Reincarnate]

Watching Shrek giving Tevez lip then the ball being smashed into the net, then turning to Shrek and making the gesture to the scouse Shrek and the Rags fans...........priceless

[Mick Mac]

Welcome back Anna. (I won't mention you know who, honest.)

Rumour that Paul Lambert has been talking to Celtic - but that's just wishful thinking on the Celtic rumour mill I guess. At least Paul Lambert knows every team needs at least one striker to win a game. Simples.

[Mick Mac]

Fergie Fergie, sign him up......

Tevez 2 - 1 United.

[Atila Reincarnate]

Tevez eh? Priceless! So Neville thinks Berbatov is a better player, he's a good judge. Can't wait for him to make a move into management.

[Atila Reincarnate]

Who said Shreks temprament has improved? Spat his dummy out as expected in the second half. I'll lay odds he'll get sent off in the world cup. Well in Tevez, shut the Rags up good and proper. Remember though, Berbatov is a better player.You're 'aving a larf!!

[Sandperson]

Good game tonight. Tevez looked up for it but didn't need all the gesturing did he? Took a few dodgy decisions for them to get the edge. I'm looking forward to next week already. Classic cup football.

Think it was Gary Chuckle..

[Atila Reincarnate]

Loved Tevez gesturing at the Rags. Thoroughly deserved, especially gesturing at Shrek who tried to put him off my talking to him in the run up. Isn't that unsporting conduct and a bookable offence? Van der saar getting booked for wasting time, beautiful. Even 5 minutes Fergie time wasn't enough for the forces of darkness to get on level terms, well in.

[woofmarkthedog]

Ramsay was great against the "Indians"

Even though as it turns out, he never even played "Footie"

What a c**k

W**F

That was a Cup cracker last night - first time I've enjoyed 90 mins of footy on telly this season. Roll on next Wednesday!

You need to support a different team to begin to enjoy your football again matt. How about arsenal?

[????]

Come on ...as one of my mates put on his Facebook profile yesterday

"Two of my favourite things combined - West Ham and porn"

Great game last night - Tevez was gesturing at Neville is the version I've read.

Tevez is and will always remain a hero to me - with the exception of united he's almost universally loved by the fans of all the clubs he's played for. Workrate, skill, heart, honesty, bravery and respect to the fans...a rare example in modern footballers.

Anna -thanks for the Cottee info, can't get there though.

[SeanMacGabhann]

even LadyMacGabhann was commenting on the crowd last night. Great cuptie and nicely setup for the second leg

Most Hammers fans seem happy with yesterday's developments and as I want them in the top tier I hope it works out. Although I don't trust SulliGold at all, and nothing to do with their other business interests

[????]

I think most West Ham fans are happy with some stability and that the financial 'meltdown' now probably won't happen. If we don't sell anyone we 'should' stay up too. I'm not sure that they're completley assured about G&S but beggars & choosers etc.

I still wonder how many clubs are likely to unravel - Pompey/Wigan/Hull......Man U/Liverpool??? Personally, I'd love it if Chelsea went bust. It appears Arsenal are the only top club who have done it properly and deserve some acknowledgement for that.

[Sandperson]

I think United are going to be in serious trouble in the next few months. I wouldn't be suprised if they went bust at all. Arsenal, Chelsea and City are probably the only three who are safe.

Quids, all the united fans I know liked Tevez until the summer, then there was so much double dealing and bs from both camps that it soured the whole relationship for us. There aren't many ex-players of ours (even the crap ones) who we don't respect and acknowledge but the whole thing was handled very badly.
