its gone bonkers with payet allegedly willing to feign injury so he cannot play and now chelskis costa being offered over £30million a year has had a massive bust up and dropped and not allowed to train with the team(sound familiar)because of it....his agents in china wonder how that will end up?..of course for years clubs have been bad in treatment of getting rid of players however they see fit....will there ever be a happy medium?

well after yesterdays bombshell I think the squad will be glad to see the back of payet and can get back to concentrating on the job in hand...no BIGMAN spitting the dummy just a group of lads training in a better atmosphere.. as fans we all new there was something not right with payet but the players who clearly new what had been going on in training and must be relieved not to have to cover for the man anymore....so lanzini obiang Antonio Carroll Cresswell all capable of taking a free kick and corners(those not for carrroll his to head home)so no great miss get Snodgrass well theres another deadball specialist so what are we missing?....so those of you attending tomorrows match against palace lets hear the ground rock with noise as we show the players we believe in them ALL and not just one man COYI lets destroy bfs and his palace.

payet is dead to us now. personally i think its best to just get rid. i know he wins but keeping him in the reserves to rot doesnt benefit us either. i think lanzini can blossom with payet gone anyway. for me the balance in the team wasn't right and yes payet wasn't putting in a shift but id prefer someone like snodgrass coming in for payet and then lanzini made the main playmaker in the side. i believe he's good enough and we also need to add some more tackle in our midfield so snodgrass would bring that plus he can replace payet for free kicks. i hear chelsea will bid for payet….i say take it and try and get a swap for someone like batshitwhatsit. payet will end up on the bench in no time as he's not a conte workhorse and from there he will disappear into the abys of nearly greats.

Last year I impressed my new boss and his clients of a delivery firm by racing around London in my Mercedes Sprinter meeting all deadlines and delivering a greater than expected efficiency. He has rewarded me this year by saying I can continue to work for them with a pay rise but he is replacing the Merc. with a Reliant Robin but still expects the same standards and more.....What should I do?, he might upgrade a to a ford escort van should one come on the market at a decent price or if he can loan one off his mate. (Dodgy Daves Brown envelope under the counter Deliveries, always use the back entrance).

looking at Bilic as he spoke about the payet situation you saw a man who was hurt by the players decision and pointing out to him how the club have bent over backwards to accommodate his needs....it showed how angry he was and how much bilic imo feels for west ham....many may point out he was quick to jump ship when it came round... evertons manager job was available but Bilic wanted to manage us as he feels an affinity to the club....despite his shortcomings this season at least the man is Loyal....

Dimitri Payet does not want to play for West Ham, says Slaven Bilic - it's on the BBC Sport Website. For Bilic to come out and say this publicly spells the end for one of them in my opinion, if not both!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38595765

For some of us of a certain age, I've just heard that a great Belgian favourite to play for us in the 80's has sadly passed away today age 62.
Great player....RIP.

that so called BIG CLUB from north London playing a home cup tie this afternoon and plenty of empty seats.....pathetic club and fans...thought they sell out every home match and have massive support clearly not....so instead of increasing capacity they will be better off reducing it!

so gold&sullivan are at a loss to understand why our squad is underperforming after doing so well last season seeing as we still have all those players with us...well its not difficult to grasp I am afraid....last season we played above all expectations and our dealings in the transfer market were first class with everyone performing brilliantly for the new manager...now forward it 12 months and you have a manager under pressure(seemingly has 2 games to save his job)players complacent and players that were purchased or loaned very sub standard to say the least....in football you cannot stand still what was good for you last year is not a surprise to the opposition the following one and so you have to tweak your tactics.
point one.. the board tried to do transfers on the cheap and got what they paid for which is rubbish...apart from fernandes who has done well and fletcher still yet to be given a proper chance all the others just not up to the job..the money wasted on Ayew was a panic buy because of all the nonsense spewed out everyday by the club about what should be done behind closed doors.
point two..bilic is as much to blame wanting certain players who have proved to be beyond poor we all know who they are!..and his stubbornness to play Antonio in any position other than the one he is best suited to....the inability to find a right back when we have been crying out for one for a long long time his sale of Tomkins was strange as surely a younger fitter man is better long term than ginge who despite last seasons heroics is now in the twilight of his career.
point three...players they claim the move had impact and they are tired and injuries etc but unless you have to fight for your place complacency sets in and so you underperform because there is nobody to challenge you for your position..apart from the gk's very little changes week in week out and that takes you back to point one.
point four ..we the fans promised much but a farce delivered from season ticket fiasco to stewards treating you like crap no wonder there is discontentment in the crowd and the fact that you were told a few tall stories about how close to the pitch you will be with the stands rolling in and out then the stand up sit down argument that still rumbles along...and of course the long walk to the station..
All this and more needs looking at with fresh eyes because this season has been a total cock up from the first day onwards and whilst I believe we will stay up what will the season after hold for us if we don't learn what has been a few very harsh lessons already this season.
