What A Great Early Xmas Present

West Ham United
comment on the article

In a game where we had many of our first team players injured. Scott Parker scored the winner in a very tough game in the dying minutes.

I thought all our players dug in and battled in a game I thought we'd be lucky to get a point.

After going a goal down it took a lot from our players to swing it round. Boro did really well but well done Parker.

With a full strength squad we should be winning these games but as I said a depleted squad have done us Hammers proud.

Deano - loving the physique btw.

Merry Xmas my fellow Hammers.

i was confident of beating m'bro AFTER our game v Blackburn. But AFTER our 2 games v Everton , i was depressed we never looked like scoring - our play wasnt great - so to fight back to win at mboro was great
up the irons !!

A no frills performance but ANOTHER 3 away points! (Only just got de-frosted!)
Nice touch at the end with the shirt giveaways - well done lads!

MN,
Got a pic of Noble for ya - didn't wanna take one of him with his shirt off tho - would have got odd looks!

A great early xmas present indeed! Like everyone else, I was thinking 1 point would have been a decent result for us until Parker decided to go and score a winner. Always nice to have some nice goals to look at on MOTD :D

Oh, and MNITF, agreeing with you on Deano's physique winkeye

Camara was offside when the 1st ball was played in than he laid it off for Ashton to score. what the game again and see. plus why did the ref not book Spector for the bad tackle on Aliadiere just before boro scored.

West Ham were the better team on the day (first half performance was a tad crap though) they came to life in the 2nd half,took there chances better so rightfully deserved the 3 points, Ashtons low bullet shot was sublime & Parker little "i,ll sell youre defenders a bag of chips on the way through shot" was quality.......biggrinbiggrin
