D-Day or Just Game Day?
Posted by US Hammer on February 10, 2007
As the mist lifts upon the beaches of Upton Park, brave warriors clad in their claret and blue step forward against ever mounting odds to battle for the survival of our nation. Never in the course of human events…sorry, got carried away a bit. Still, for West Ham Nation (apologies to the Boston Red Sox of whom I’m also a fan) it’s all the same this match. This could very well be that moment in history where we see the revival begin or a vision of the end. And as rumours swirl that Green will return to the squad and that Tevez, Ferdinand and Neill may be available, I can’t help but get excited about the match. With so much riding on this how can we not be “fired up”! My mood swings from day to day but I can’t give up on this club. I saw one report that Curbs might go with Zamora and Harewood up front. Another said Tevez will start. It’s always fun watching the media try to generate a story from nothing. Sadly, it looks like a TV shutout here in the States. I believe this will be the first EPL match that hasn’t at least been broadcast delayed on Fox or Sentata.
Likely 11 if fit: Green, Neill, Davenport, Ferdinand, McCartney, Benayoun, Quashie, Reo-Coker, Boa Morte, Tevez, Harewood. I’d like to see Pantsil get another crack at right back. My preference up front would be Tevez and Kepa. I’d like to see how this would work out. But if Tevez isn’t fit I would hope Curbs tries Kepa with Harewood instead of Zamora.
Three points required lads. Make it so!!

I don’t really know what to say. We can’t hit a penalty. The ref doesn’t send the player off. It doesn’t matter. We didn’t do the job, we quit and I think we may be done. I’m reacting now. I’ll go have a lie down and maybe I can regain some perspective.
