Most obvious example of a team throwing a match I've ever witnessed. 11 vs 10 but West Ham make no effort at all. Still when your manager is in the papers stating that he wants Utd to win the league what can you expect?
And who scored the goal?

I must say, quite amusing how blind/bias some Liverpool fans are here. They see Hyypia as should have been a penalty in midweek for what was quite clearly a dive, then they don't see Neill Tango slap Nani.
What has that got to do with anything? Stop talking absolute ****ing bull.
LONDON (Reuters) - West Ham United manager Alan Pardew welcomed new signings Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano on Tuesday and said Argentina's World Cup pair would take his team to a new level.
The 22-year-olds were a sensational transfer coup last week for the Premier League club, who bought them from Corinthians.
The Brazilian club is owned by investment group MSI, who had talks to buy West Ham last year which came to nothing.
"We want to challenge the big teams in this division and this is a route to do that," Pardew told a news conference at Upton Park.
"As a team manager I want to work with the best players in the world...I think these guys are going to take us forward.
"I thought it was a fantastic move for us, to take us to the next level -- let's accept it for what it is."
Dismissing speculation the pair would not stay long, Pardew said they would definitely not be leaving in the January transfer window and had signed four-year contracts.
Pardew hopes West Ham will do so well this season that the pair will stay with a club who were promoted from the second division in 2005 and reached last season's FA Cup final -- earning themselves a UEFA Cup place.
"We wouldn't be sitting here with these guys if we hadn't had great success previous to this," Pardew said.
Mascherano said: "For any South American player, and in this case Argentine, it is a dream to play in European football... This was a very important goal for us."
Highlighting the lure of the English top-flight, he said: "Everyone knows it's one of the most important leagues".
Tevez added: "West Ham made us a firm offer...the fact of playing in the Premier League was the other factor in coming here."
just wtaching manu match now , and there singing a altered version of the torress toress song ...
Anyone know what they are sinigng ?? or better still a utube link??
I don't know if you'd want me to quote your initial post or the edited one, so I chose the edited one
I remember Pardew giving a press conference saying they were there to stay.
Do some reading up on the people who made the deals go through, their cover companies and the links back to the major footballing organisations and the accounting 'anomalies' that were made.
All that rubbish aside, what are you trying to say? That we specifically let Tevez and only Tevez score on the final day of last season. Why would we do that? If the hope that it'd sweeten West Ham into letting us have him? Well something went wrong somewhere because West Ham wern't exactly keen to let him go IIRC.
Or are you saying that West Ham let Tevez score today? I really don't understand the relevance of anything you've said.
Ignore it, he turns up every now and then, trolls and ****s off again, so let it go![]()
Where? When?
Accusing someone of trolling is trolling in itself isn't it?
Careful lad.
