Guest alex Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 yes but they always meant "craic" as in the irish meaning of the word its just they've started spelling it correctly  craic and crack are not the same just like your and you're aren't  'Craic' is just the Irish bastardisation of the English word 'crack'. It's just taken on more popularity in recent times.  Or so alex once told me. yes but they always meant "craic" as in the irish meaning of the word its just they've started spelling it correctly  craic and crack are not the same just like your and you're aren't  'Craic' is just the Irish bastardisation of the English word 'crack'.

Barney 0 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 From Jacob Steinberg (West Ham fan and writer) Â The regular refrain from visiting managers at Upton Park is that, if they can score early or stay level for 20 minutes, the West Ham fans will quickly start to turn on their own side. Cliched, maybe, but not exactly without justification because Upton Park has become a very sullen place to watch football in recent years. There is always a vague hope that relegation will root out the fair-weather fans, yet ultimately it just makes people angrier and so it was that on Saturday a nadir was reached. Â With around five minutes left during West Ham's game against Barnsley and Sam Allardyce's side holding on for a 1-0 victory that was to take them level with the Championship leaders, Southampton, until the Saints' point at Portsmouth on Sunday, it was announced that Kevin Nolan was the sponsors' man of the match, an award that was astonishingly greeted by booing from certain sections of the crowd. Of course, not everyone in the crowd was booing and being loud is not equivalent to being right; a vocal minority are just more noticeable than the silent majority and therefore more cringeworthy. It is also likely that Nolan, the club captain no less, was not being booed, rather it was the decision not to give the award to Daniel Potts, a 17-year-old who found out he was making his debut at left-back only shortly before kick-off when Abdoulaye Faye failed a late fitness test. The youngster, who battled against leukaemia for four years after being diagnosed with it when he was 12 and whose father is the former West Ham defender Steve Potts, delivered an impressive performance to keep Nile Ranger quiet in difficult circumstances. Â But does something so minor as who gets a free bottle of champagne really matter? Surely of more importance was helping the team hold on to their lead in the dying moments, instead of undermining it. But no. The local hero was snubbed, so there had to be a pantomime villain. Well, it is the season for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10972 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 If Wigan can beat Liverpool tomorrow and sunderland fail to win at QPR, our unwashed neighbours will be in the bottom three.  Or  Wigan draw and sunderland lose 15-0.  As much as I'd like to see Liverpool lose at Wigan, the thought of watching the mackems get spanked 15-0 would just be too good  Kean has won just 7 of 37 Prem games. 2 of 17 this season. He's never been a football manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Moving his footballing education to Stoke/Pullis would be the worst thing for him. Good young player, i hope this mooted switch doesn't eventuate.

toonotl 3116 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Babe the Baseball Cap Wearing Pulis shouldn't bother trying to buy technically sound players, he has proven he can't use them, and its only ever going to be harmful for everyone. He should just have a keeper, Crouch, Delap and 8 centre backs and play on a field that is 5 yards wider than the goal posts on either flank.
