West Ham won their opening game, after coming from one nil down to beat Charlton 3-1 at Upton Park. Bobby Zamora netting twice late on, but we must take into account Djimi Traore being sent off early for the away side. the midfield of Lee Bowyer, Benayoun and Reo Coker impressing in midfield. I find nothing wrong with Boruc or any other player crossing themselves , whether its at Ibrox or anywhere else for that matter, as long as its a religious thing and not done provocatively.

In watchin the match yesterday Boruc crossed himself facing the Rangers supporters behind the goal which could of incited the lunatic fringe into causing a riot. Mr artur boruc blesses himself while facing the goal he`s protecting before kick off at the begining of each half..

is there not a campaign in scotland? one scotland many cultures? all that carry on... so people in scotland are encouraged to accept all faiths and ways of life etc?

so a catholic man blesses himself before he takes part in a game of football... the only 'crime' he commits? its done in front of people who cant accept his faith... which takes me back to "is there not a campaign in scotland?"


I dont know if this was absent mindedness from an ignorant foreigner umaware of the religious and political situation particulary in the west of Scotland or an inflammatory gesture aimed at the Rangers support

whether these players are from Pollock or Poznan they should be made aware of the potential consequences of such actions and perhaps refrain from doing so in such a high profile public place

Betting wise, this is Watford's first home game for a while in the Premiership, and regardless who they are playing there should be a great atmosphere. Watford were unlucky against Premiership veterans Everton on Saturday, and if they show the same kind of form they will give West Ham a hard time. The Hammers were equally impressive, but of course they did have the extra man. Watford will also welcome centre-back Jay DeMerit to the side, who missed out on the opening day with injury. This should be a very tight game, but Im predicting a narrow win for Watford at some attractive odds of 13/10 with Coral.
