Eh sorry - I had completely forgotten about Milan. Same point applies though, not been in demand for a fair while.

Mark Clattenberg is the referee at Spurs v West Ham on Sunday. Although we've had some dodgy decisions go against us in the past with this fella it's good to see him back. What Chelsea tried to imply with him was a disgrace.

[Otta]

I see SAF has already gotten a good dig in on Rafa. He makes a fair point about Rafa walking in to a team ahead of a World Club Championship having not built that team, but really it's a bit of an unnecessary low blow.

I think he is just the 4th official on Sunday?

Do you think there's a subliminal message here?

[maxxi]

I'd like to thank all the lads, they've been triffic, really have, even when it looked like things were going to go our way they made sure it would be 'tits up' all along the line, for the whole 90 minutes.

I had a special message from the Chairman which I'd like to post but the obscenity laws in this country are, apparently, a little too restrictive for that to happen right now but I'm sure he'll put a little extra something in my Xmas box, what can I say, I'm proud, we're all proud, but we don't stop here, I've already had a telegram from Mr Keegan so we're not going to go all sensible, no we'll stick with the 'six strikers, four midfield and rush goalie' approach that has got us this far.

Oh, and I have a sneaky tip for next week... Man Utd 0 West Ham 4, trust me, it's golden.

[Jah Lush]

Not too upset to have fallen off my perch. Going to White Hart Lane today and seeing the good performance we put in has given me some hope. Like Arnie says "I'll be back."

[malumbu]

Man U and Man C must be getting worried.

Was actually at my first 0-0 draw for 12 years today at Stamford Bridge. Pretty woeful stuff. Much more excitement at the Stadium of Light.

West Ham fans taking a pasting in the press today over the Hitler and hissing chants, and quite rightly too.

It will be interesting to see what the club and/or FA do if the culprits are identified. It's easy to criticse and condemn UEFA over their paltry fines for the abuse of black English players when playing abroad, now let's see what they think is a suitable punishment now that something similar has happened in our own backyard...

[Jah Lush]

Yeah I was there and heard it. All the West Ham supporters seemed to sing were songs against Spurs fans. None about getting behind their team or players apart from Bubbles before the match. It was a minority that sang the really offensive stuff and it did fizzle out but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Yeah absolutely disgusting stuff from a portion of WH fans, and hopefully the decent WH fans will condemn it!

Wonder what Peter Herbert will have to say about this following his "Yid Army" objections. Maybe he'll understand that things run deeper than he has bothered to look.

I'd be more optimistic about your chances against Liverpool than West Brom to be honest.
