The Devil In Me

To put it mildly, that’ll do. This is a result and a message to Chelsea at the same time. Despite the guff in the papers I actually thought that West Ham showed up in this match. True they can’t defend but that is why they are tenth in the table. They chased every ball and were giving us grief until Ronaldo’s third minute hop skip and jump. Aston’s overhead kick was also a corker and we have been linked with him recently, can’t say I disapprove.

We have learnt a lot of thing s about the players this season. Anderson can’t shoot, Hargreaves is a great crosser of the ball, Tevez will not be signing any modelling contracts in his spare time and Nani can be a useless plonker. The fact that we played and controlled the game for sixty minutes a man down is a sign of durability. Which is precisely what we are going to need in Moscow.
