Our players are professional football players and Coley and Jimmy get them 100% fit! I didn't think that they were, "Out on their feet", as one or two have suggested and I was relishing the prospect of playing extra time against 10 men after one of their lads limped off injured very late in the 90 + 7 minutes. I really believed that West Ham would not score a goal in 'normal play' against our excellent defence........ but Payet taking a free kick from 24 yards out?
......... History now!
