The Spanish Archer has struck - Donkey awaits you senior, El Tapas Twatas rides off into the Sunset!!!! Mind you dont bang your arse on the way out!!!!

Potterball - incoming!!!

Lucky for us we have a tactical genius as our manager... he has already planned to slot Emerson on the right keep Kudus on the left and draft in the tea lady for Fullkrug it cant go wrong can it.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly or more Apt one for me.. The money pit!

Hi all , back after a long absence. Happy mew year to all and hope you had a great Christmas. So frustrated with how the season is going. Thankfully there are worse teams than us. Whats happens now - do the board stick with JLOP and hope we just keep our heads above water or look to replace him? Historically they stick with the managers until end of season but personally wish we would replace him as he is tactically inept.

Emerson the latest player being linked with a move to Juventus is the rumour and we could get £25/30 million for him well if it happens then Scarles has to be moved into the team with Cresswell to help with his development it is a win all round for the club and a boost for "The Academy".

Now i hear all the arguments back and forth about if they were good enough they would be playing and look at the players we let go who are now nowhere to be seen proof that they are not as good as made out.

Bournemouth had a 19 year old central defender starting and does not look out of place Arsenal started 18 year old at Left back in the champions league Liverpool have blooded quite a few and none have sunk out of sight and when you consider the pressure and demands playing for that club is quite a lot to deal with.

Unless tested you never will know if they can or cannot make it and would Cottee of got a chance in todays world? to small to be a striker would be the argument.

So whilst not every academy graduate is going to make it there are times when surely it is better to look within and try something different instead of a foreign or over the hill injury prone player who are costly and really provide us with nothing but hefty wages...and it has to be better than putting square pegs in round holes.

Again it was only for twenty minutes and we were under the cosh for the last ten for sure but Scarles did not buckle so maybe just maybe he deserves his chance and others to before we go wasting more money in an inflated transfer market.

Lots of talk about various players not happy and wanting out, the latest being Emerson, so he’s added to the list of Fulkrug, Alvarez, Kudus, Paqueta and I imagine Todibo.
I think there are ways to go about leaving a club, I think Declan Rice showed a lot of class whereas I don’t think any from that list have shown any professionalism, at the end of the day it’s not acceptable to show disrespect to the manager regardless of whether you believe what he’s saying or not, for whatever faults Lopetegui has I don’t think he’s weak and he’s been strong enough to leave players out when they’re not performing, and if you believe what’s being written then some players are giving ultimatums of either Lopetegui goes or they do, modern football and social media I guess but makes you think West Ham would be better off without them anyway.

Feel sorry for the bloke as he had his best players sold and then given a paltry sum to replace them... Unlike us we give a kings ransom to a director of football Sullivan does not want and a manager who well we all know what.

Hopefully Wolves try and Get Potter as i am not enthused about us getting that man in but we shall see in the long run

Like him or loathe him. Try to understand a word he says. But whatever your opinion of Lopoteugi. What has Dildo Dave done to the profile, of our beloved club at present?

If we win v Wolves, he stays. If we lose he goes. If we draw, who the Jeff knows?

From the outside looking in. What message does this send to the football fraternity? Is this how clubs should be run? It's like the Firing Squad meets Russian Roulette.

Not that I really care. But how must Lopoteugi be feeling about this? He's probably looking forward to the 4 million (tax deducted), of the 5mil to pay him off. I think he's quite happy to go back to Spain and never come to the Premier League again. He'll no doubt get a job in Turkey, China, or Saudi.

Overall, this whole situation has become an unwanted circus. It puts our club in the spotlight, For all the wrong reasons.

So no. This is not the way to run a football club. Mr Dildo Dave, you front up cash you pay someone off. You pay compensation to get the best man for the job. You make the change and hopefully reap the rewards.

Or you get a temporary Manager to the end of the season step up Mr Moyes, Mr Benitez, Mr Hasbean anyone else you can think of!!

Give me strength!!!

As fans we do not ask much but we do ask that the players put in a shift and sadly we did not do that last night. I was at the game with my Father and his Best friends son and when the line up was announced i have never seen so many supporters shaking there heads and ask what is going on? and nobody had an answer.

Not sure how the match looked on the box but in the stadium despite our support to many of our players were just strolling around expecting something to happen instead of making it happen and that is something that cannot be allowed to happen. The first goal i had the perfect view and like others around me we all said that's onside and a goal so why VAR took so long is painful.

Stats wise yes it looks like we dominated them and yes we did miss a fair few chances but that happens in matches just look at Manchester Utd against us few weeks back and really this was just the same game with us being the ones for not putting clear cut chances away.

Lopetegui looks a broken man on the sidelines and yes we were singing for him to get sacked but we all know Sullivan will not pull the trigger until we are in the bottom three because it will not cost him as much with the contract agreed.

So how much longer can we endure this nonsense i mean we have some very good talented players but they just seem lost no sense of direction nobody knowing there roles on the pitch and sadly Bowen just is not a Captain he is to quiet to meek we need a proper leader on the pitch and in the dugout but with our board you just no that they wont do that.

My father is seriously questioning about going to the Wolves game on Monday now and that really tells me just how bad things have gotten like many here you cut yourself you bleed claret and blue but how much can we all have left with this continuing fiasco.

No Summerville, no Emerson, is it set up for a Vardy fest. Or will Soucek come to the rescue??
