PIC TRIBUTE: HAIL THESE TWO IRONS HEROES

|

URGENT

Adrian_3164087bThese two men were immense this afternoon as we completed the most extraordinary treble by beating Manchester City having already seen off Arsenal and Liverpool.

In the face of relentless non stop pressure, Winston Reid harnessed his magnificent defence with a performance which will live in the memory of everybody who witnessed it.

Reidy really was the emperor of all he surveyed in a second half which shred virtually every nerve in the bodies of every Hammers fan.

He read every situation, stepped in when all was lost and continued to organise with Adrian also performing heroically in the Hammers goal.

One second half save which he turned over the top was as good as anything you will ever see. What a day …and what a night ahead but these men were the heroes of an astounding performance but he also saved brilliantly from Ya Ya Toure and Aguero. He was extraordinary.

Memorable hardly does this game justice.e. This truly was a performance of a lifetime and it will be never forgotten.

    The whole team were terrific,picking out 1 or 2 no problem but I think this is just the start to what could be the greatest season ever,
    Billy Bonds got it spot on George Moncur got it spot on
    Mr Merson wrong again Mr Lawreson wrong again just keep tipping us to loose,
    Reidy your season has started Adrien you have repaid us for the red card,
    The skipper 2 for 2
    Sakho got that goal he needs
    And I got a 120/1 double up and if Sakho had scored first I would have hit a home run
    What a great day

    Last time I saw a defensive display from us like that, we denied Man Ud the title and sent it to Blackburn. Fantastic.

    Can’t think what else I should be careful about, since I seem to have got almost exactly what I was wishing for! Thanks for the advice Mr Media Pundit Mugs!
