Yup, especially the Nasri chant amended for West Ham going down and You're going to ground share with Tottenham made me chuckle. The away support was back to normal and so massively different to Ipswich
those songs were great, also harsh singing ur getting sacked in an hour, but it seemed to be true according to the media, but so far hasnt happened.

Like the Chamakh song, just whoever created it obviously didnt have an atlas at the time, Iraq is miles from Morocco :roll: :lol:

Thoroughly enjoyed that and while people will say it was west ham (and they are awful) I think we turned up with a mindset that would have made us a handful for anyone today and hopefully the players and manager have shown a positive reaction to the thoroughly deserved criticism they received after two bad cup games - Keep this up!! Thought our midf was dominant and all played great but jack wilshire was immense at the heart of alot of our moves but doing so much of the dirty work and breaking up play and winning the ball back & he wonders why we fans have taken to him so quickly & fondly!! Love the guy!!

I thought chesney was very solid again and I dont feel anywhere near as panicky with him in the team. I dont see why fab should be back as number 1 when fit. Also great to see van p getting some goals and looking much sharper for some more game time. Play him weds as well to get him sharper even further. As a side note very much liked cesc bringing up this game last year in the changing room at half time. He gets criticised as a captin a bit on here but that was very good leadership to skip any complacency out of his players. If only we could have this kind of attitude and drive every week. Now have the pleasure of watching spurs or united losing points :D & can read a paper or watch sky without someone slagging us off. Simple pleasures!!

very strong performance. Ok Westham was poor, but difference between first team players and the other ones is they don't give a chance to these teams toprove anything that they will end in the bottom of PL.

Did anyone see Jack lose his left boot and still continued to play with an inch perfect pass to Fabregas?

Great performance and great away support. Ridiculous that it took 14 hours to get to East London and back from the south coast though. There's always some problem with the tubes :roll: And that's a bloody long walk from Upton Park to Canning Town!

On another note, I was in the lower tier but a way back, what was everyone turning round and looking up for? Someone jumped into the little pit thing infront of the upper tier???

i decided to walk from Stratford to Upton Park cos i got into London pretty early, on way back thought I would get the bus...went to station and was directed by Police to a bus stop down the road and round the corner so headed there with a lot of other people, 1 bus turned up, a normal routed bus and a number of ppl jumped on, then 6, yes 6 rail replacement buses, mostly half empty did not stop and kept on going...took the fucking piss...after bout 25 minutes of waiting, a normal routed bus stopped which i was able to force on and get a seat but ppl crowed the bus, standing upstairs, on the stairs and down...if all trains and tubes was running, i could have been home about 8:30 but i got home at 10 :evil: FUCK TFL

The walk from Canning Town to Upton Park was lengthy but its always healthy to do a bit of brisk walking. Sheds some of those calories.

I think I saw you on the pre match build up on ESPN. You were standing next to an older guy, although that wouldn't be pretty hard seen as your only 6 :lol:

Walked all the way back to Stratfield station as well, weren't too bad. Although there must have been atleast 20 rail replacement services that went by all half full to capacity. Anyway can't believe no one has mentioned the Johan Djourou fan club, and quite possibly the worst football song ever created. Good laugh though. :barscarf:
