btw, it is a different pbp man from last year. This has a much more listenable voice.


I don't have speakers on my computer. So I can't listen. That's why your pbp is so appreciated.

Holy Crap!!!!!!!

I think this announcer is getting his goal keeper names wrong. Keeps saying James, when he means Seaman. The other guy did not do this.

Seaman with a one handed save on a Freddie shot.

Game is certainly picking up. Hammers are driving for a third. Freddie is making a HUGE difference.

Freddie goes inches wide of the far post. A collective groan from the fans as the play is replayed on big screen.

[pething101]

Corner for West Ham, conceeded by Laurent. 4th in the game.

Defoe curls it in, no one connects on it. Eventually, throw for the Hammers. Nothing comes of it.

Parlour off, Penance (sp ?) on for the Arse.

Repka booked for a foul on Henry. Free kick to Arse. Edu takes, away by Sincs.

Joe finds Defoe .. takes on Campbell ... cross cleared away by Arse defender.

Cross by Arse comes to Wiltford. Shot goes side netting.

Breen takes up center position in defense along with Repka.

[Frieslander]

what I should say is that I don't have a sound card. My computer was aquired from my brothers company, so it's a "work" computer and he says a sound card won't fit in it.

I forgot to set my alarm this morning otherwise I would have driven into NYC and watched at a bar.

That happens far too often.

Come on you Irons!!!!!

I believe he did.

Vierra booked for dissent.

Sounds like a scrum going on right now.

Pressure growing on Freddie as he steps up take the kick...

[Frieslander]

ooh ooohoh!!!

Stoned by Seaman. Dives to his right on a poor effort by Freddie.

What might have been. Oh, lets hope that does not come back to bite us in the ass.

[pething101]

All 11 back to defend. Left foot to penalty spot cleared away but only temporarily.

83 minute.

Joe has picked up a knock. Coming off for Moncur, I believe.

Not what we needed.

[Frieslander]

I tell you my teams have to be the worst penalty taking teams. WHU, Metro, USA and Holland. Only the USA are respectable at pk's.

in short, it's my fault. I'm sorry.

[pething101]

Final whistle.

WH gets a point.

[Frieslander]

I'm sorry I have to say it...

"typical West Ham"

"...and like my dreams they fade and die"

This is the perfect club for a split personality optimist/pessimist like me. I'm riding high for 45 mins and then suddenly I'm in the dumps and quoting this team's old cliches.

[pething101]

This one still leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Next up Charlton.
