I'll bet Jah was cross that night.

[Jah Lush]

I don't remember that. Obviously, deleted from the memory bank.

Don't worry, I don't see a repeat at all on Sunday. Happy Birthday Jimmy Greaves btw (according to West Ham website)

[Otta]

Yep, 75 today.

Goalscoring genius.

Which ever team you follow, he was a great player. Such shame about his previous drink problem.

[Jah Lush]

He overcame his serious drink problem though which to me makes him even more of a hero. It's a real pity George Best couldn't do the same.

And AA might say you never really overcome it, which makes it an ongoing achievement.

Unlucky Spammers.

[Otta]

Perfect result if Liverpool can win their match.

Was just poor bad luck, we were miles the better team. A bit frustrating that without two injury time goals in our games against Utd and Spuds(actually 3 if you include your winner at UP) we'd be 4 (5) points better off and in the hunt still...

[Jah Lush]

I wouldn't say you were miles better. I thought a draw was a fair result. Take heart though, you played very well and are a much better side without Carroll and Nolan in the starting Xl. Reid, Cresswell and Noble were all excellent today though Noble was a bit lucky not to have got sent off for a second bookable offence.

One thing is puzzling me though... Lamela is just not doing it for me. He needs to improve 100-per-cent. Out of all our substitutions today he more than anyone needed to go off. Though I must say Demb?l? was also rubbish today and was rightly substituted at half-time.

as everyone in the World knows, except on fella,,,who happens to be our manager ;(

[Otta]

Nolan yes,not sure that's fair to Carroll.

[maxxi]

Except Carroll is a bit of a Lennie to Nolan's George; just needs a new BFF.

When Carroll plays BFS reverts to his caveman football. When he doesn't they look like a decent side.

[Otta]

But that isn't the player's fault. When they've not played that old style Carroll has also done well.

Plus I don't mind a bit of argy bargy mixed in with the beautiful game.

[Mick Mac]

It's not that long ago that Carroll was selected for England. And I know that doesn't mean BFS uses him in the way England intended to.

I think it's ok to play Carroll in Plan B football but I'd not want him in my starting team each week. Footballers are generally dumb (slight joke) and if they see a big target man they will use him even if it's not the manager or BFS instructions.

John Toshack was used primarily to knock the ball down to Keegan. Many plaudits and a trophy or two followed.

We are getting rather snobbish about how our football is played.

of course , a few clubs like West Ham and Celtic can say they always saw it thus. :) There are a few more to add to those two of course. Spurs pass and move probably.

[Mick Mac]

As regards whether west ham were by far the better team, from MOTD it seems they could have been 3 up and commentators said Spurs had trouble holding on to the ball in midfield.

But the last quarter (highlights) it seemed spurs had all the late chances.

[Otta]

Never been Noel Gallagher's biggest fan, but enjoyed him on MOTD tonight. He comes across as a genuine City fan who still can't quite believe where they are but is loving besting United.

[Mick Mac]

He is indeed. He likes the heated seats though.

[Jah Lush]

I'm not a big fan of his music but I like his sense of humour. His brother Liam has a box. Says it all for me. Boxes are for knobs.

[Otta]

Liam has always been the bigger twat of the pair.

I loved "The Broge" bit.

[red devil]

I liked this piece he did...http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31576588

Roy Keane too miserable, couldn't go on tour with him? Errrr, brother Liam springs to mind Noel :)

He probably didn't want to go on tour with him either to be fair.
