I mean, that's not what football fans have been doing since the leagues began is it.A fair old slice of West Ham fans have got so used to cunting the team off that there are clearly absolutely no circumstances that will allow them to wallow in a bit of glory. Tuesday night, in the winter, at a northern bolt hole, two of the first eleven suspended and on of our best players sent off after 45 minutes and your primary observation is a snide one about one of the players who has served to instil this new found resilience into the side with his approach to the game and the club.Save your response about how it's not your primary concern and you're just being an really insightful bloke while I'm being a happy clappy Hammers fan with a big badge on. You've dug your trench, I've dug mine, neither of us are getting out of it. You've become a typing parody of your proclaimed expert subject.

It wasn't 'anyone could beat Blackpool etc', it was 'how bad must Blackpool be for us to win 4-1 etc'. Then my thought train was - Blackpool are 5th so how bad must this league be. Then with the performances in the last 3 games as bench mark, I thought if we had played that well or close to that well earlier in the season then we would be smashing this league. Therefore this squad have not played to their potential this season yet are still top. Its a shit kickers league so lets not go totally fucking cock out over the win.
