West Ham - Guardian Report Card

Postby beex on Tue May 13, 2008 6:52 pm

Interesting points.
I can't argue with much of this this really and would say that the last sentence is the most important one (in bold) :oops:

Report card: West Ham


10th West Ham

The Guardian,
Tuesday May 13 2008

On-pitch moment of the season


Matthew Upson scoring the winner against Manchester United

Off-pitch moment of the season


The departure of Eggert Magnusson in December, making way for the owner, Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson, to take a more hands-on role

Player who must not to be sold

Dean Ashton, restored to fitness after spending so long recovering from his broken ankle

Greatest goal

Freddie Sears' late winner six minutes into his debut against Blackburn, after three 4-0 defeats in a row

Most embarrassing moment

The 4-0 defeat at White Hart Lane in March, the third of that run

Effect of manager's shopping

Craig Bellamy, Freddie Ljungberg, Scott Parker, Julien Faubert and Kieron Dyer all had extensive injury problems and have yet to be seen for a lengthy period in the first team

The season in five words

Win or lose, they're 10th

Five-point action plan for the summer

Expensive experienced players who have spent more time on the treatment table than out on the pitch should be moved on; continue the development of the younger players; retain Robert Green in goal; add youth and invention; rekindle some of the enthusiasm by getting rid of that useless excuse of a manager, Alan Curbishley
Some people think football is a matter of life or death, but it's far more important than that.

Beexie you said you were gonna give the Curbs out campaign a rest? How long did it last, maybe 48hrs? :roll:

Fellas, c'mon.
If you check, I don't think I've actually said "those words yet", have I? :roll:
Geez, no pleasing some people :P
