Carroll digs out Payet

|

West-Ham-Uniteds-English-striker-Andy-CAndy Carroll too a very clear knock at Dimi Payet after producing his own fantastic performance in in the 3-0 win over Palace.

The Hammers completed a double over the Sam Allardyce-managed south London side with Carroll putting the game beyond them with a totally magnificent second scissor kicked goal.

And afterwards as he assessed the victory he declared: ” I don’t think any player is bigger than the club – and I think that’s what the lads, manager, staff and fans believe.

“We showed we are a tight group together and got the three points for it.”

AC spoke for every one of us as he showed the form of his life against a side that has failed to win a game under the former Hammers boss in five attempts.

Of his stunning goal he said: “It’s been a while in the making – I’ve been trying for a couple of years. It’s got to be the best goal I’ve scored.”

Even Allardyce was moved to congratulate him saying: “”It’s a terrific finish from Andy Carroll and he’s always had that in his locker. The volley was outstanding.”

    Although not reported on here, according to exwhuemployee Payet asked for another pay rise after Brexit because he was getting less euro’s for his money, Kouyate called him out on it and told him to sort his attitude out because it was disgraceful. It seems like most of the players realise what a **** he is being and feel just as let down by him as we do. Obiang is showing real leadership in the middle of the field and all the players took responsibility yesterday if we do that every game although we are missing that bit of stardust we will be competitive in every game we play COYI !!!

    Right, Payet is history, forget about him and move on.

    We need two or three quality additions to make us into a competitive team, that’s what should be concentrated on!
