Hammers go down 4-0 again

Poor West Ham, the Hammers haven't won at Anfield since John, Paul, George and Ringo shared the same groupie but I was hoping after the drubbing that Chelsea gave us last weekend we would at least put in a 90 minute effort.

It took an extra-time Jonathon Noble penalty earlier this year for West Ham to beat Liverpool but Fernando Torres has recently been playing like a man possessed and is at the moment arguably the finest striker in the world.

It only took El Nino until the 7th minute for him to clinically finish off the Iron's defense from a fairly speculative pass from Dirk Kuyt

However Anton & Co. managed to rein him in until the 61st min when Torres got his second capping his off hat-trick and resting the case for finest finisher in the Prem in with a dance through the box topped with a sublime goal in the 81st minute.
Gerrard emphasized the ass-kicking with a torrid blast just two minutes later.

It appears that West Ham will continue to roll over and play dead at Anfield but at the feet of El Nino these days it will take a mighty effort for any team to stay above ground.

Now I know I shouldn't make a cheap joke like this will be the showdown in Seattle of the 19th century immigrant scourge vs. the 21st century's one but I would be kidding if I did.

Actually I think this should be a decent match particularly from the stands as both communities should provide a sizable and fervent support for their respective national teams.

See y'all at the Central Saloon before the match for Negra Modelo, potstickers, nacho's and Tsingtao's.

Hammers get their collective keister handed to them.

Chelsea came to the Boleyn Ground on Saturday and gave my beloved Hammers a pounding. Now it hurts when Frank Lampard scores against his old team however I am not one of those Hammer's fans who dislikes "Fat Frank" but he does seem to be an arrogant git when he celebrates.

Joe Cole and Michael Ballack's goals were both quality but to give up 3 goals in 5 minutes against the likes of Chelsea is a recipe for disaster.

Well the Titanic docked in the 64th minute when Ashley Cole was gifted a goal by a ragged Hammers defense. Though to be fair, Ashley, has recently been scoring away from home . . . .

A miserable day all round for my boys. So in an effort to cheer up West Ham Fan's here's a great clip of Matthew Upson's winner against Man Yoo earlier this year!

What's the difference between Newcastle and a bucket of shit?



The bucket

It's harsh I know but Newcastle are stinking right now and are in a real danger of relegation this year which would be a devastating blow to the Toon faithful.

I don't think Kevin Keegan thought it would be this bad or this difficult when he took over and I don't see him keeping his job if they do go down
