Well, as a reader rightly pointed out, ‘starlet’ is a word used for females but Chandross uses it here in describing Freddie Sears!

“Hope all you Noble knockers are happy now.  Jimenez is toilet.”

This is in refereance to Noble being dropped (rested according to Iain’s chums) against Everton today for Jimenez. Jimenez’s performance was awful but somehow this is justification of Noble being good.

Just because Jimenez played rubbish, it doesn’t make Noble good.

Noble will still get an 7/8 in Dale’s ratings…even though he didn’t play.

His sidekick Chandross, keeps spelling Stanislas as Stanislaus. Chandross, by the way he writes, is apparently an expert on those coming through the ranks at Upton Park……or may be he wants people to think that because that’s what Chandross is, an attention seeker who wants people to love him.

These are not one-off mistakes. They do it repeatedly.

One of the questions was: “Who is the unsung hero in your team?”, and Dale’s answer was as predictable as ever: “Mark Noble is a midfield powerhouse who never gives up and is skillful with it. He can also score goals. If Scott Parker stays fit, this could be one of the key midfield partnerships in the Premier league this season.”

Mark Noble is not an unsung hero. He is a local lad who is always praised for his contribution – not unsung. Anyone who knows football and has watched Noble play, would not describe him as a “midfield power house” so it beggars belief how Dale could do as such. This is not Noble’s style. More evidence that Dale knows nothing about football.

Dale also states that Noble can “also score goals” which is pretty handy for a footballer, especially a midfielder. He then says that Noble’s partnership with Parker could be “one of the key midfield partnerships in the Premier league”, why? I’m not sure. It will be a key partnership for West Ham but in the Premier League, no….unless we’re going for the title that is.

Another question posed was: “Who is a waste of space?”. One thing Dale cannot stop himself from doing is criticising Luis Boa Morte so you can probably guess what his answer was:

“Most of our ‘wastes of spaces’ have departed. I would normally be tempted to nominate Luis Boa Morte, but he’s out injured for six months and it’s not nice to kick a guy when he’s down. To be fair to him he did very well in the last few games of last season.”

The art of calling someone a waste of space without actually calling them a waste of space, superb! Not involved in politics are you Iain?

Scott, a commenter on Dales blog wrote: “Mark Noble unsung hero. Sorry, unsung because he’s not good enough”. No doubt that Dale and his cronies will now gang up on Scott for having a differing opinion.

“We should slap a £19m price tag on him, why not? If Lescott is worth that, then a player ahead of him in the England squad must also be worth it, surely?”

Why not? Because Upson is 30 and Lescott is still 26, dah!

More than half full you mean Iain? You haven’t been drinking out of it have you?

What he cannot seem to understand is that Lucas Neill is a free agent. He has no contract with us or anybody else. This means he can choose where he wants to play his football. We have no right to expect him to sign for us – his contract is finished, he is not a West Ham player.

Dale cannot understand this so must hate and invite hate.

Hammers & Zvezda:
“As an Australian to Lucas….F### off, who needs you! Too fat, too slow! C’mon you Irons!”

Neill did well for us. It was not his fault Eggert gave him a big contract. What he lacked in pace he made up with his intelligence and experience. Zola is no fool to have continued to pick him and still offer him a new deal though with financial constraints.

Join Iain and his chums.

SJ Chandos: “well done to Headmaster for standing up for the right of contributors to express their views without insult or intimidation”!!!

Above, quotes from two of the worst culprits on Dale’s site who cannot take it when people disagree with them. Can you believe their cheek?!

Here’s The Headmaster proving my point about how intolerable they are to other people’s opposing views:

The Headmaster: “If NBN (North Bank Norman) isn’t what some other sites call a WUM he’s doing a pretty good job of impersonating one! Neil is, at best, an average West Ham captain and I think that is me being pretty restrained.”

…and if you disagree with Chandos, you’re not really a West Ham fan:

Chandos: “Or it just that they periodically dress up as Hammers and come on to this site to instill fear and dispair in the less robast amongst us, whilst secretly being a supporters of one of our rivals!”
On a different subject, Chandos is well and truely back:

SJ Chandos: “Changing the subject and tone slightly, I often wonder…” Here we go again!
