I watched online here in France. After the failure to take the lead first half, tragically, there was an air of inevitability about the outcome.

What was Upson thinking about in trying to head that ball clear?

Hi there - I may not post often, but westhamtillidie is the first place I look for when I go to newsnow for info about West Ham. I even have your publication highlighted there.

I'm sure you know this old chestnut - but it is pointless arguing with the stupid as they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I love reading your blog - keep on and keep up with the intelligent and well written commentary I have come to enjoy so much.

To be honest, I find the DD's straight-talking refreshing. The idea that players on multi-million contracts might find such comments to be upsetting is risible.

Zola would be better advised to invest his energies in resurrecting the performances of his ailing team than responding to such firebrand oratory.

I find Zola's comments about his own salary more worrying - he's on 1.9 million a year but didn't know this when he signed? Just how out of touch with reality are these people?
