GWT: English Premier League - Round 37 - 5/7 & 5/8

What was the point of the Bony signing anyway? He's just a glorified Yakubu.

Keep him from scoring all those goals for Swansea?

Tony Martial returns

I like the speed of Martial and Rashford up front with Rooney and Mata spraying passes to them. Hopefully it works.

Kickoff delayed 45 minutes. The local inbreds are smashing up the United team bus.

What a bunch of clowns. Should be docked points.

 

[Theon]

Classy bunch.

 

[hatterson]

West Ham owner blaming United, saying they should have arrived 4 hours before the game. Classy....

Should Liverpool be disqualified from the final aswell?

Anyone pulling that crap is a jackass.

That doesn't sound like blaming them for getting their bus smashed. That sounds like saying they should have gotten there more than 30 minutes before the match.

They had to delay the start against Tottenham too because they were late, says nothing about drunk neanderthals attacking their bus.

They were on track to get there at a normal time, maybe a tiny bit late, until the bus was delayed by idiots near the stadium.

Either way, saying they should get there 4 hours before kickoff is laughable, no team does that.

Edit: He also said "I think the police have been kind to them."

Hey now, that is better than the alternative for awarding a 3-0 victory to United .

Again, in reference to the kickoff time.

It's pretty obvious common sense dictates you get to this match in particular, earlier than you would otherwise. This an all day event around the Boleyn. People are everywhere. I don't think it's ridiculous to suggest United didn't think their schedule through.

And again, there's no excuse for the idiocy these supporters have engaged in (though that Liverpool video above says it's hardly isolated). These idiots are definitely hammered (excuse the pun), but I hope they get caught and handed lifetime bans.

Somehow it seems older/more insane when you say 2398 games instead of 112 years.

 

[Live in the Now]

Don't think anything should happen even though those fans are idiots. This is football, not tiddlywinks.

 

[hatterson]

I assume you mean nothing should happen to West Ham in terms of points, and not that nothing should happen to the idiots chucking bottles?

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

A final win at the Boleyn.. COYI!

 

[hatterson]

Half great play by West Ham, half terrible play by United

 

[Jussi]

No suprise it took a deflection...

Not sure a club should punish somebody for doing something when they're not in the stadium. They could be cited for vandalism though.

 

[Live in the Now]

Carroll is a bottler.

 

[hatterson]

Horrific defense by Blind there. Another example of why they need a true CB to play beside Smalling.

Not defending his play in that situation but he's rarely made mistakes like that this season.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

1-0 lead after 45 min., chances for 2/3 more goals, hope this won't haunt the Irons in the second half..

 

[hatterson]

Stat line doesn't surprise me at all.

Possession 63/37 for United. Shots are 10-1 West Ham and 4-0 on target.
