In a
lively first half at Cardiff City Stadium, West Ham have managed to seize the
lead by virtue of Carlton Cole strike. The
Bubbles Boyz have rode their luck during an eventful first half with both sides
testing the woodwork, and Cardiff having a goal-line technology query incident.
Disastrously,
Guy Demel has gone off with what looks like a nasty injury after colliding with
Roger ‘Magic’ Johnson who has finally managed to successfully tackle somebody,
albeit his own player! Johnson then almost magicked himself from villain to hero
with glancing header that just went wide.
With all
the furore around unlucky Demel’s injury, the match officials have awarded a
full ten minutes injury time. It seems pretty likely that the half time tea will have gone cold - but given our poor second half performances of late, maybe we would be better off without the break. However, for Carlton Cole, Hammers
fans will almost certainly donate some of their deliciously warm thermos tea to
the big man.
We should however note that Carlton has a rather nasty habit of making crucial errors after
scoring – hopefully that won’t happen today before big Andy makes his
LOOOOOOOOOONNNNNG AWAITTTTTTEEEEDDDDD return. Also, it's been announced that former Hammer Craig Bellamy will be coming on for the second half. However, with AC, Diame and Joe Cole on the bench, can we dare to hope?
