Diouf Training With Us - Joining on Loan

Yep, you read it correctly.

John Carew tweeted this about half an hour ago:

Now if im not horribly mistaken, that is the upper head of Mr El Hadji Diouf. And the twitter users amongst my readers can work out my reply to John Carew in my timeline!

I dont like this, I understand it will only be on a loan deal and as cover for Matty Taylor who seems to be out for a while, however why does it have to be him? I dont particularly rate him as a player, and i certainly dont rate him as an individual. Makes me sad to think this boy will be playing in the famous Claret and Blue of West Ham. I hate the bloke, and this also means I will be having to take my umbrella to the next home match to shield myself from his infamous spitting at others ability.

Oh well, lets hope he does a job and scores a few goals.

We are toppa the league

Since my last blog, (sorry I’ve been a busy man  ), we have got ourselves a tidy draw away at Palace, and a thumping win at home against B’Pool, what a lovely day out that was! First time I have said that about a home game in a long time, but it really was a faultless performance in my opinion. We even defended well when they put us under a lot of pressure towards the end, and that really is an achievement - for us!! It was nice to see Sammy B get his first couple of goals, and hopefully that’s the beginning of many. I have seen a lot of people saying that he won’t stop scoring now, so let’s hope that they are correct and he really does start banging them in for fun! He looks a decent buy already, and he’s only young too, so could prove to be a good prospect for the future.

I am off to Southampton tonight, and I hope to see the same line up as Saturday, except Tomkins and Taylor of course, who are both injury doubts. I am praying that Sam doesn’t revert to 4-5-1, however if he does, I am hoping with all I can that he plays Carew as the lone striker and not Cant Control. Seeing a big man upfront that can control the ball well, bring it down, look for the pass, hit the ball accurately with power AND score headers really is a breath of fresh air, and I don’t know what else Carew can really do to prove that he deserves his place in the starting 11!

I would also like to mention Kev Nolan, whom I thought had a very decent game last weekend. He looked a much better performer than he has been this season and lets hope that he carries this on to tonight’s match at St Mary’s.

I really hope we get a result tonight, it would be lovely to see a 1. next to our beloved clubs name wouldn’t it? And I also want to sing the ‘we are top of the league’ song tonight! Prediction: Soton 2-3 W Ham, and I hope Baldock gets one.
