Be proud as Noble heads for his 200th
Watch Twitter too closely and you will find some pretty extreme and not particularly good natured comments about the lad and that angers me.
In an age when foreigners come – kiss the badge and move on the minute a bigger deal is on the table – loyal lads from the likes of Canning Town and the like as rare as they come.
Mark is as good at what he does, breaking down play and spraying it about as well as most and I for one hope he makes it onto the pitch for his big day.
The manager is keeping his plans pretty close to his chest as usual and there’s nothing wrong with that but I’ll be amazed and disappointed if Nobes doesn’t get the call.
The lad himself is enjoying life enormously and in a comment on www.whufc.com says: “The start of the season has been one of my most enjoyable periods at West Ham United. If I do get on the pitch I’ll be very proud.”
And so should all Irons fans in a football age such as this one!
