"They gave us four minutes [injury time], that's an insult to the game. It denies you a proper chance to win a football match."
Bloody cheek of it!! He wanted the ref to add even more time on in the hope that his team'd score 2 more goals! Would he have moaned if the Mancs had been in the lead at the end?

I'm not sure but their wage bill must be enormous compared to other bottom half teams.
IMO they have bought too many players who are past their peak, simply because of their name. Case in point is Park, he had a poor last season at United which is why Fergie got rid of him. Good team on paper, not that good in reality.
Their saving grace may be that Norwich and Reading really do look like they're going straight down and I don't hold out much more hope for Southampton. They should have just enough quality to survive but really in this day and age the wage bill is more important than what is spent on transfers and they should be pushing the top 6 on their budget.

West Ham are top of the Premiership!!!
On fouls committed that is. Seven players in the book so far tonight should see us really stretching our lead too. Big Sam rules!!!

Hughes out by Christmas, 'Arry in?

M'bia and Onuoha were shoot on the right side of our 'defence' and I wasn't overly impressed with Granola's contribution, his ball from set pieces left much to be desired. Park was crap, end of and SWP ran out of steam after the first half-hour, Zamora just isn't doing it and Cisse always seems second to the ball. I'd still buy Ali Faurlin a pint though, Dose. West Ham seemed to have the measure of us from start to finish and fair play to them.
But, Clattenburg has history at the Loftus Road and did much to embellish his own stupidity regarding decisions tonight with the sending off of Diakite - what a complete tosser. What really hurt was that Hughes got it right at last exchanging Jung Si Useless and SWP for Tarbs and Diakite, and they both made an instant impression - Diakite as a lynchpin in midfield and Tarbs with that goal. But all to no avail and I fear that Hughes' tenure may soon be coming to an end. Who's gonna' replace him though? Who would want to replace him?
The only consolations were Taraabt's performance after such a long time on the bench and Diakite's input (though now due a suspension). On the other hand, Carroll is still a complete muppet and I enjoyed Vaz Te's impersonation of Didier Drogba toward the end. But there's no two ways about it, they were the better side technically.
Not much hope beyond that and we're already in trouble with a squad with too many new faces, not able to gel and a manager running out of time.

You've got more faith than me if you think it'll be any sooner than the end of this month with performances like that.
As for 'Arry, could be a good one but would he come to the Rangers you think (aside all the same speculators who said he'd be next England boss)?

Well, 'Arry likes both the limelight and the cash, and no longer has the credibility to get a job with one of the top clubs. He'd be a good short term appointment, he has as much ability to motivate players as anyone in the game and would be a good choicen as a firefighter.

I can't see him getting much better offers, particularly financially. Plus he has made it pretty clear that at his time of life he has no intention of moving from his home on the south coast, so he is quite limited as to which clubs are within a commutable distance (mostly London clubs).
