Dear Supporter
We're disappointed with the West Hame game. I think we put in a good performance and defended terrifically throughout the game - but their goal was clearly offside.
There's no one you can blame for it. We've played very well - it's just unfair that the linesman's had a bad performance. There's nothing you can do about decisions like that. Maybe in the second half of the season we'll get some little breaks.
We've always had a tough game at West Ham, an interesting game. I admire the way they try to play. They deserved their point - but they've had the linesman to thank.
I was worried about playing Wes Brown - but he was fantastic. If we have him playing continually for the next few years you'll see a fantastic player. Gary Neville pulled a thigh muscle in training on Thursday, meanwhile. It may keep him out for two or three weeks.
Thanks for your support

Another e-mail from SAF, and again I am left feeling somehow less than happy with it!
“There's no one you can blame for it.” NO?
RVN thinks so, as he said “we stopped playing in the second half”
Why did we not make any changes? Bring someone on from the bench link Forlan to get things moving again.
Somehow I am not looking forward to getting more e-mails like the above during December!
I don’t think it a full rebuild that’s needed its getting our current player motivated again, we are becoming like a sad shop floor where half the staff never turn up for a days work because they don’t won’t to. The number of sick notes this season is getting to me. Have you also noticed once players go missing they don’t appear to be in any rush to get fit again and back in the team. Although SAF comment “I was worried about playing Wes Brown” may go some way to explaining this.
By the way Alex its West Ham not West Hame! Even I could get that one correct!
Alex, If we had scored two, what would have been unfair?
