that's not even right. West Ham can obtain a maximum of 90 points at this stage of the season.

because Nigel appointed Sharp as penalty taker. It's never an off the cuff thing in case you get one,Sharp was responsible for penalties yesterday and he took the one that we got.

Jos has been ill this week, some other players too apparently.Maybe there were a few just running on empty yesterday,it happens even with pros with big medical structures behind them.We needed to score the penalty,that would have made everything more rosy.

and a draw. West Ham need to make up 7 points because they ain't going to boost their GD by +14 compared to ours.

Young lad died of a heart attack playing football in our region yesterday, bet his family don't get overwhelmed with sympathy messages from all the Tv stations and National Newpapers.Brits always go totally over the top about this sort of thing.

We can afford to lose 2 more if we keep the GD above theirs.As it stands they need to win 2 more than us and get one other better result,other than that they need a goal glut and let's face it it's West Ham and they don't seem to do goal gluts.

missing the penalty probably got to him,need to be a tough nut to miss one like that knowing that Rickie sinks every one since the dawn of time and not let it affect you.

probably not in Blackpool

they probably just kept us at arms length as we were pretty inefficient in the last 20 yards anyway.

Not having the benefit of seeing the match it's just a supposition but could the pitch have been doctored in the mid section and left dryer on the wings where it's known that we don't play much generally and even less with Butterfield in the side?

whenever a side has wingers that know roughly what they're doing we struggle.Our full backs aren't good enough defensively and the midfield has to help them out thus detracting from their own role. I mentioned this in the build up thread and of course got regally slagged off.Perhaps it would have been a bit different if we'd had Frazer available but playing Butterfield against Ince and Phillips who are interchageable was frankly suicidal.No doubt Chaplow was drafted in to help on that side but as his tackling is horrendous and he has no pace it didn't help very much.De Ridder has few defensive qualities so all in all the cards were always going to be stacked against us once Butterfield was in the side.

let's face it with a player like Diouf in your side you're bound to create a few chances. Diouf is a **** but if he turns up he's a pretty dangerous player.

Sharp would have been the appointed penalty taker, Nigel probably thinks he's the bee's bolloaks still and he no doubt scored plenty of penalties when he was at Scunny.

Poor old Dave, he just won't admit that Billy isn't up to the job. And to think I thought that with the arrival of Sharp+ Lee we'd reinforced the strikers.

He's a knob, when we're winning or playing well you can sort of ignore him but when the football isn't so great he's unsupportable. Whines like Ena Sharples or Minnie Longhurst.

At least he's Billy Blunt now, apparently he was Billy Bunter when he arrived.

Result of a missed penalty from us and them getting an iffy one straight afterwards. Moral destroyed, thanks Billy.

Because we don't have anyone else if Richardson isn't fit or out of form. Position needed addressing in January. I guess we're waiting on something from our academy,after all it costs us plenty.

nah we let Fox take it

FFS Dave, Sharp is one of the problems,you're making it sound as if he's the dog's nuts and everybody else is crap.

I think you get infraction points for that.

She's probably gay...one of those days

their cup final and past histories with Holloway.

Why is Reading on a Friday evening then, thought it was for TV

Nah we're wasting every chance we get.
