Lack of Ambition!
Nov 13, 2008 West Ham News
Lack of ambition is something West Ham are not suffering with under Gianfranco Zola, for 75 mins on Saturday West Ham proved that with more training and experience they can be a side to be on par with any of the Top 4 clubs, so Tony Cascarino’s article in the Times this morning proves unfounded when he stated the following:
The lesser sides are favouring cautious tactics more and more - not just against the elite but against each other. No wonder the Barclays Premier League table is so bunched up, it’s full of teams of similar ability acting the same way. What’s to separate them except a bit of luck, the odd flash of individual inspiration or a refereeing decision?
Every club including the top 4 depends on a little luck, the odd referee’s decision in their favour, and some flash of individual inspiration.
West Ham have gone 6 games without a win, but ambition, skill, and entertainment is 3 factors that they do show, only time will tell if Zola’s tactics are proving worthy of using, i beleive they are, and sooner rather than later we may see some benefits, lets hope it is against Pompey this weekend.

I went to the wrong Match! West Ham v Bolton
Oct 6, 2008 Bolton, West Ham News
Reading some of the rags makes me wonder if I watched the same match as the persons who wrote the articles.
The Independent headlines: West Ham 1 Bolton 3: Error-strewn Green hands Bolton an easy victory. Hardly an easy victory, West Ham dominated most of the game with some fine passing football and possession, I must have missed that match!
Fair enough Green did make a couple of blunders which in his case is very rare, we usually only see those kind of mistakes made my David James and without those blunders Bolton would probably not have won.
Zola was right when he shouted to lads on the pitch “Chin Up” losing confidence after a goal is what West Ham is renown for.
Green was not the only person who made mistakes, Noble and Faubert lacked concentration and led to some silly passes to the opposition.
Overall i was pleased with the style skill we played, Zola promised us entertaining football and that,s what we got, as Zola said ” Winning every game is not important, its not War, but entertaining football is” and to me, entertainment is what i want each season when i pay for my season ticket.
Great game, well done to Bolton but hardly an easy win.
