Another corner to Saints, relieving a bit of W'ham pressure.

Hooiveld really is keeping Carew quiet..... (I've spoken too soon, right?) De Ridder on for Connolly and Cork on for.... erm, Hamster please.

Very good save by Kelvin..... But the counter attack is right back at W'ham.

Fonte back in for a clearance, he's making ammends.

West Ham not afraid to shoot from distance......

Sh*t. Baldock let in by a Fonte error..... and the ex Franchisee misses. Phew!!!!!

'A little far out for Rickie.' We'll see. Ha Baldock yellow for descent..... now Nolan complains.... Corner Saints. Up you step Danny!

Nolan foul..... Yellow card.

3 now. They are showing some real intent......... Not unexpected and maybe a little overdue.

Half time. Bloody lovely so far, but I won't be completely happy unless we lead 5-0.

West 'Am trying to come straight back at us.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooiveld!!!!! F**KING HAVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fonte now seems to be marking Carew...

First real chance for West 'Am, Carew fed by Baldock.

Lambert knocks it down to Chappy. The height wasn't right for him. We are making good inroads down the flanks.

The home crowd is rousing now. Sounding good. Nolan Injured.... has he even had a touch yet?

Allardyce is keeping his lot sitting back..... Surely not playing for a point already? (No, he's brought on the bigger Skate to be physical on our back line.... very anti football.) Needless corner conceded by the 'Ammers.

Fonte header from Morgan free kick, just wide.

Looks like Chaplow is doing his usual 'all action' routine to break up West 'Am in midfield. Surprise surprise the 'Ammers look to send the ball over the top. Twice in a minute. Hooivled better stay live while marking Carew. The Skate Taylor is going off, Piquionne on.... no injury, tactical. Allardyce is already going route one to counter our possession.

West Ham can't get a touch right now. Looking to hit us on the counter no doubt. Allardyce parks the bus and looks to sucker punch our profligacy in front of goal.

Actual Nuns, not our sort of 'Nuns.'

If it helps, I overtook a car full of Nuns yesterday.....

Keeping possession at the moment.... Ok start.

Immediately a shot saved from Taylor.... Skate f**ker.

Carew and Baldock keep their place after saturday, interesting.
