greatly enjoyed reading this comment below the Guardian report on the game
Now that was fucking awful. Honestly I cannot put into words just how bad we were. I mean I probably could try but i imagine this comment would be banned.
A few weeks ago I joked about playing the 'big boys of Europe' in these early rounds, with the notion that it wouldn't be easy. A joke. A half hearted attempt at humour. Of course we would get through the first 2 rounds with relative ease.
And then tonight, dear old West Ham. How you amaze me at times with the depths you can plummet to. Hanging on against, not even the runners of the Maltese league, the runners up, to the runners up! Absolute shambles all round.
Dunno what is funnier, The fact they are struggling against teams they should be walking past. Or the fact they qualified via the fair play league, and in 5 games have had 3 players and there manager sent off
I'm torn here. Instinctively I want to see them dumped out of the competition in Romania. However there is a highly valid POV that says, no, let them limp into the group stage, with its burden on fixtures. It will be a great boost in the campaign to see them move into the Olympic as a Championship club. (when of course they get a rent rebate)

Love this. Mentioned the same to the Hamsters in work this morning. Oh, the IRONy!!

That relegation rebate in their Olympic contract looks more and more relevant
