dave, is that photo from the FA Cup when Paolo made Fab the Clown look like he was directing traffic round Paris?

If so, Magic!

Although to put a dampener on things, I reckon we'll lose (although we need to win for Arsenal to nick the title at the last minute like you predicted!)

C&P from WHO......21 reasons WHY West Ham will not lose on Saturday!

1. West Ham have won their last three encounters with Manchester United.

2. It may seem unthinkable for a team to beat Manchester United in four straight Premier League matches, but it has been done (Liverpool, 2000-2002).

3. West Ham have won three of their last six visits to Old Trafford.

4. Manchester United have only won one of their last four Premier League games.

5. The Hammers have played a huge part in costing Manchester United the title twice in recent years.

6. They were also victorious in Manchester United's last home game last season, putting a dampener on the hosts' title celebrations.

7. chickendinner superfact: West Ham have won away at one of the top four teams in each of their last five Premier League seasons - this is the last chance this season.

8. In the past five seasons, West Ham haven't lost their final away league match.

9. They have also been victorious on matchday 37 of their last three Premier League seasons - beating Chelsea, West Brom and Everton.

10. Meanwhile, Manchester United haven't won their penultimate Premier League game in the past four seasons.

11. While Sir Alex Ferguson didn't lose to Alan Curbishley when he was Charlton manager, he has yet to take a point from West Ham since Curbishley took over.

12. The last two teams to defeat Manchester United at home in the first half of a Premier League season (West Ham last year and Manchester City this year), have gone on to complete the double over them at Old Trafford.

13. Similarly, the last five teams to have beaten Manchester United at Old Trafford have done the double over them that season.

14. Michael Carrick hasn't won against former club West Ham in his four clashes against them for Tottenham and Man United, drawing one and losing three.

15. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 44 per cent of Manchester United's home league goals this season but can't be relied upon to score against West Ham - he has failed to score in his previous two home games against them.

16. In fact, West Ham are one of just four Premier League sides Ronaldo has failed to score against at Old Trafford - the others are Birmingham, Chelsea and Sunderland.

17. West Ham also boast the best defensive record on the road outside of the top five (1.22 goals conceded a game), despite the fact they lost 4-0 at Tottenham and Liverpool.

18. The biggest deterrant to backing West Ham is that they've only scored three goals in eight games away at top-ten clubs this season - the worst in the league - BUT West Ham have scored in twelve of their last fourteen games with Manchester United.

19. They average a goal a game against Manchester United from their twenty-five Premier League encounters and one goal has proved enough in four of their last five victories against them.

20. Manchester United average just 0.8 goals a game against West Ham in their five meetings since West Ham's promotion and have scored just once in their last three.

21. chickendinner superfact: West Ham's record of conceding just one goal in three league games with Manchester United is unmatched in the Premier League - Manchester City are next closest with two then Chelsea are third with three.

I am going for a 1-1

I'll say 1-1. I would love to cost them from winning the title.

Just wanted to say thanks so much for last night, it was great to put faces to names and feel part of the crew again.
Special thanks to Dave (and his lovely wife Jackie) who gave me a lift there and back and got me a chair put up the front so I could sit and watch the game (cos my fucked back doesn't like to stand) Also to Risky for introducing me to lots of people and being a generally nice bloke.
I really enjoyed myself, my voice is hoarse BUT my back survived! Shame about the result but they were in a different class really.
I'll be having back surgery probably within the next 3 months or so, I find out what it will be on June 4th. If it all goes well, count me in as a regular for next season, WITHOUT CURBS!
Thanks again Worship

Si (beex)

GENERALLY nice

i quite enjoyed it. singing the whole way through the match. some guy asked me while we were still singing when we were 4-1 down. Some people just don't get it. 3 of there goals were fairly lucky so it could have been a different story. 2 deflections and you cant tell me ronaldo MEANT to score his 2nd that way. also blatant handball in the first 10 minutes

Kudos to Tevez and he had the good grace not to celebrate all credit to the man. Unlike Michael Carrick whos now a cunt. He celebrated his goal which may has well have been an og by neill considering the defletion.

It was good to finally meet you beexie... Hopefully you'll be able to come to more meets in the future. It was a good turnout last night, and we easily out-sang all two of the Man U fans that tried to keep up. All in all an enjoyable night out, despite the result
