West Ham fought out a goal-less draw at the Emirates, extending their unbeaten run and frustrating the Arse into the bargain.
It was pretty much defensive duties all afternoon and Arsenal had two reasonable chances that fell to Adebayor although Man of the Match James Collins also saw Clichy clear a header of the line just before half-time. Otherwise that's about it. I'm not going to waste my time writing about it and yours reading it except to say how gratifying it is to be able to see West Ham go into a game like this with a reasonable chance of getting a result. Well done to a defensive unit that is now looking rock solid thanks, presumably, to excellent coaching. Odd how things can turn around, isn't it?
Born at an early age a mere defenders' spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenholme in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned to the pitch again for the 1975 FA Cup Final but stayed on the terrace for 1980 FA Cup victory. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and innumerable children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session.
