Just Beautiful.

Dancing over the Palace game, as I couldn't find any stream of it no matter how hard I tried, we won easily, and it was the early stages of the cup. Pausing only to comment on my constant study of Big or Fat Sam, I think there is no doubt that he is firmly Fat Sam at the moment with his stupidity at England and then impacting like a wet fart with his introduction at Palace! Indeed he is going to have to work his fat ass off to become Big Sam again!! However a final day of the season survival act might do it for some idiots in the media who like to comment! Me I see it as Fat Sam's philosophical statement of how the world is these days, as it doesn't matter how you look or how you act as long as you are rich!!! 'Fat Cat Sam' for me!

The other reason to swiftly move on is to impatiently get to last nights game as quick as I can! Jesus we were good! As I sat back to watch the game on the couch it just felt like a must win game with those jammy sods from Salford creeping up behind like a desperate mugger in a dark park!

It commences with an exciting attacking team sheet, which attacking wise I would have picked except for Jesus on the wing instead of Sterling and Sergio up top. The defence I was a little less sure of on recent form, but as it was it was rarely tested, and finally yes I was glad to see Willy in goal as I think Willy's presence created an air that immediately left us all feeling that bit more assured, highlighting how bad Bravo is at present! His poor performances not only costing goals but reducing overall club confidence and highlighting for me that success is first and foremost built with a strong foundation! For you can tippy tippy and ponce around all you want but if you are doing it on unstable foundations the house no matter how glorious will always eventually topple! Indeed strong foundations (in a keeper desperate to be back in Spain, but forced against his will to stay!!!) can make an ugly old build which has seen better days still manage to get buy!  


Straight away we look good like most other games this season, but soon we start to look great as king Kev seems so excited to be playing with the new Messiah! Highlighted completely in the final ball to him for the first goal! Beautiful, bloody beautiful. Now this difference meant we scored early and had something to show for the early pressure, something we have been so desperate for all season! Then everyone started stepping up Sane looked electric and showed another level, Silva was everywhere, Yaya was spraying it around and Sterling was wisely kept wide to the wings, not on the end of the chances, and as such was more effective and less frustrating.

Sane was great for Silva's goal and then perfectly on cue Jesus get his debut goal and what a great first half that was, it was delightful! Yes the Hammers were dog shit but they were made to look dog shit by some world class football on a big pitch that gave us the room to play. It was that good you just couldn't wait for the second half for more of the same! This was again forthcoming and although not reflected in the same number of goals was highly pleasurable as well, with us eventually strolling to the victory whilst giving our top players a rest and a few coming back to the fold a chance to shine.

So, all in all a great night of football and I don't see any reason why we can't keep the centre mid trio for the Swansea game at the weekend for more of the same, just a shame I won't be there to watch as I am off to Bulgaria skiing today and have had to give my ticket to Jim!
