OTF

3-0 beautiful goal. Colo threaded a lovely through ball for Barton who squared it back to Lovenkrands who put it away first touch.

Clipped his leg whilst running. One of those ones that could have been accidental, but knowing Nolan and the position they were in I doubt it was accidental. Not from the angle they showed on the tv, was nowhere near him. This is good news then. If he didn't touch him then they'll have to rescind the yellow on appeal. Assuming he doesn't pick up a second yellow

Not from the angle they showed on the tv, was nowhere near him. I missed the replay (was probably typing on here). Fucking hell WOlves are a bunch of cheats. The sooner they're out of this league the better.

Jonas fed Loven down the left flank. Loven crossed to the back post and Ameobi wanted it the most. The Nolan yellow sucks (it was the right foul to make), but on the whole 2-0 up is a very good position to be (if you're not West Ham).

SHOLA!!!!

Yellow for Nolan, he misses the next two games now.

EBanks-Blake just blitzed by Willo, thankfully Ferguson got back to make a very good block. He's had a solid half.

They're really struggling with Shola... hopefully he can keep up the effort and enthusiasm.

Susprisingly a good left footed cross from Jonas then...

Good ball into the box from them just then. Simpson covered it pretty well, getting the block on the shot thankfully.

All over them. They're a shambles at the back currently. Hope we keep pushing.

YES!!!! Nolan goal... Lovely head on from Shola perfectly read by NBolan, composed finish!!

Head clash in the box apparently.. on the replay though it should have been a penalty. Came into Lovekrands back slamming him. Didn't even look as though his (their player) head was contacted, if it was it wasn't heavy. Reeks of a Steven Taylor. Should have had a penalty.

Karl Henry still a fucking cock. Good Barton free-kick Nolan's header on target but saved easily.

Been a pretty slow and dull start....

2-4 Deflection, nutmeg of Upson (in the horrors for the last 20 minutes) and Hernandez scores... wonder what it will finish at!

Rooney yelling at the camera: "Fucking what? ...Why...Fucking Hell" Clearly audible (the second part anyway), wonder what that was about. Looked pissed, which you wouldn;t expect having just scored a hat-trick in less than 20 minutes to take your side to the lead from 2-0 down.

Man Utd penalty from an Upson handball.. looked hind of harsh. Rooney from the spot for the hat-trick... 2-3

2-2 Rooney again. Obviously got his shooting boots on. Crappy defending from Upson, but Rooney took proper advantage of it with a quality finish. Hard to see West Ham holding on here, have to ride out the storm at the moment. Berbatov shot on..

I'd say in the early stages they will look to pressure Ferguson, hope he can stick to his defensive duties this time around and come through the early stages unscathed.

Cracking free-kick from Rooney to claw one back, should be an interesting conclusion...

It's a tough decision. If Ranger starts he'll need to come off because he seems to lose direction after a little while. He's effective when fresh then it seems to go to pieces. Lovenkrands doesn't impose himself much or at all. He makes the runs and sometimes gets in good positions, but when you don't have great passers to pick him out he seldom gets much meaningful involvement. Looking forward to this with nervous trepidation.

Undoubtedly.
