Brighton/Brentford/Bournemouth/Fulham/Forest.....All better Teams than us because they play as a Team and not individuals picked in the car park before kick off like our lot.

Forest not changed there back four for seven matches before yesterday and that consistency showed while we keep chopping and changing and mixing personnel and formation each week and it has proven to be a recipe for disaster.

Fans are not blind and regarding our points tally we are very lucky to have what we have....Fulham away was a very lucky point and we should of been stuffed there....Brentford a disaster of a start we just about managed to get a draw there Palace away we were woeful but Palaces luck was not on there side that day and we stole a victory Forest were not troubled when we had eleven on the park so what difference was it when we went down to ten...Spuds game a collapse of disastrous proportions but don't forget we crushed Ipswich oh yeah that side who were league one two seasons prior and the Manure game talk about lucky luck bastards it should of been at least 0-4 at HT.

The players do not have a clue about the gameplan put before them and neither does the manager and a translator being sort as he is finding it difficult to get his point across lol well done Sullivan employing someone who cannot grasp basic English.

The players need to stand up stop sulking and hiding they need to make it clear to Sullivan enough is enough and get that man out as we all know the manager is nothing when it comes to players as they are the real assets to the club albeit ever decreasing assets!.

Sullivan will be hiding trying to find nice things being said about him ha! good luck with that you want to be the main man you want to run the club well you are running it 100% into the ground....where are the other board members? even if you do not care about the club and just care about the dividends you pick up well they are going to be a lot smaller once we have gone down because make know mistake that is where we are going...so time to man up Sullivan and sack this incompetent fool you yes you appointed.

Do we have the players to make a difference if we appoint a new man? yes we do but things need to happen quickly....Everton next and its always awkward against them and following that its the barcodes and gooners and if Loppy is still here for those matches i can see nothing but Cricket scores happening what a dreadful mess all made by one man but of course it's not his fault he was doing what was best for the club...

Yes i think we all on this forum agree that it is the man at the helm holding back our clubs potential.
Amorim now at Manchester United and the Denial machine in full operation with everyone saying that we had not had an agreement after flying the man over to see everything and agree a contract. Then saying he did not have enough Experience and so Sullivan pulled the "non existent" plug on the deal and now that the biggest club in the country have appointed him some very red faces will be had at the club, Now i am not going to say the man will succeed i mean they are a basket case of a club and how will he cope with the instant must win pressure who knows but Sullivan once again had the chance and dropped the ball and the reason we all know is money £8million buyout against a freebie manager and in life as we all know you get what you pay for.

Add to the list Sullivans constant interfering in the transfer market specially when it comes to strikers and you just have to hold your head in your hands.

Ivan Toney turned down as £10million was deemed to much now Viktor Gyokeres who we could of got from Coventry for less than £20million seen as to much of a risk so Sporting Lisbon got him and now Man Utd/Arsenal/Liverpool all after him. Haller/Scamacca both released for silly money as they did not work(Moyes!) he'd rather keep the then manager instead of sacking him and getting in people who could work with two very talented players and so it goes on.

We moved to compete absolute Rubbish we moved to put coin in your pocket Sullivan and who cares you ripped the heart out of the club to do so.

Like an Ostrich this man will stick his head in the sand with all the noise going on around him and far be it from me to be Ageist but this man does not move with the times and an older colleague at work said he reminds him of Doug Ellis at Villa a man who i am told had to have his grip forcibly removed to get him out of Villa.

Right off to bed now that Girly night out and the Fish and chips have started to catch up hopefully i will be awake for another 90mins of torture later!.

Well El Tapas Twatas finally takes the Happy Hammers out on the road outside of the Capital.

It's been a long wait barring an excursion to bin dipperland for the Moose Cup. So the squad gets to sample hotel life. Coach journeys, aeroplane trips and whatever El Tapas Twatas organises for the jolly boys outings going forward. Who will room with who?

Will Lukey Paqueta be on his own so he can have a cheeky flutter? Will Lady Buttplug organise a spin the bottle session? Will our camaraderie improve and will our results improve?

I thank you..

Foderingham: Excellent back up to First choice,Fabianski
Wan Bissaka: one of the best signings we've made
Kilman: Not bad. He's no Dawson though
Todibo: Early days but looks promising instead of Mavro
Sommerville: Looking good, already a fans first choice to start down the left
Rodriguez: Erm, no. Soucek for me
Fullkrug; Will we ever know?
Guilherme: Why did we buy him?
Kante: Who?

In the words of the Flight Director in the film Apollo 13 when all looked lost "What have we got that is good?"

Well... not a lot!

Squad : Old, still small and too slow for the modern game... some exceptions of course. On paper we have some decent players and many were content with the new signings but J Lo is unable to fine tune and balance. We look in the direction of Chavski, their new young manager (who previously worked at the BoM) has pretty much the same squad as the last numbskull but is now getting a tune out of the exact same players who are starting to show their potential. 

Captain : Jerrod is a legend but having the arm band isn't working for me. We have no obvious leader, no obvious Mr West Ham anymore. We miss Nobes but I think the real loss is Dec. Yes, we got over £100M for the lad but he was the engine, the heart beat, the talisman that we lack so dearly. 

Stadium: I was a big fan and tried constantly on this site to spell out the virtues of the BoM but the fact remains its an athletic stadium, no longer shiny and new and starting to look tired and what it was originally intended... Temporary! Ginger on TalkSHITE is right, its the worst stadium in the Prem. Just looking around the capital (not to mention even Everton) we see other clubs with purpose built and in many cases New state of the art arena fit for purpose. Stamford Bridge is still pathetic but even that has plans!

The Manager : Looks like a rabbit in the headlights. He's clearly not up to the difficult task, this guy was never anyone's first choice, in fact there were demonstrations / social media unrest not just in Milan about the appointment of this guy but closer to home. We all know the reason why Sullivan brought him in........available and cheap. Well, that worked well Dave! The season is already over for me, no chance of a top 7 finish so another season without European football which personally I loved. Give the job to Nobes and Kean for the rest of the season until the right guy is available. 

The Board : Not fit for purpose. Brady and Sullivan are obnoxious and toxic but my real displeasure is for Kretinski. He was never going to be a knight in shining armour, only interest was and is to see a marked return on his investment. This will still come once the BoM is in the hands of the club and the stock value rises dramatically. He will then sell and be Offski! The treatment of fans over the Concessions sums up these clowns. Start a war with your fan base (or customers as we are known) for the sake of just an extra £800K revenue, which in the scheme of things is nothing, isn't just cruel its lousy business!

So, what have we got that is good? Very simple... The Fans, Us... You and me!!!

Still leaking goals players played out of position and do we have a gameplan? Jlo had been studying us a lot last season and saw the areas that we needed to improve and was confident about doing that.

So if he really had been doing that why are we such a mess? we have beaten Palace and Ipswich this season and they are in the bottom three.....still always looking to pass back more than forward where is the improvement? again i say if this man and his coaches had been watching us why is nothing different?.

Team line ups already coming up short no balance no real emphasis on how we are going to play it seems to be we are praying the players might do something instead of a manager seeing his mistakes learning from them and trying something else.

For me Pacman has to be benched he is nowhere at the level required and his heads not in the game.....Summerville needs to start and yes Areola needs to come out and Fab in but i think we need now to be looking for a new GK as well but that will be next summer.

Injuries is the only thing that Jlo has no control over but for a man who likes to flash the credentials or rather his pals do i have to say i am not impressed and again you have to ask what has changed?

Never a great time and long wait for the Hammers to return to the real business of hopefully giving Spudz the run a round.

So, for something to think about, I thought I would try to pick the best player we have ever taken in transfer from a fellow current Premier League competitor. I came up with the following:

Arsenal - Stewart Robson
Chavski - Carlton Cole (close call with Peter Braybrook)
Spudz - Matty Etherington
Everton - David Unsworth
Brighton - Couldn't think of anyone
Bournemouth - Carl Fletcher
Man City - Zabaletta
Man United - Jesse Lingard
Aston Vanilla - David James
Fulham - Tony Gale
Newcastle - Scotty Parker
Forest - Antonio
Brentford - Benny
Ipswich - Cressy
Leicester - again... no idea!
Palace -Budgie Burn
Southampton - Jose Fonte
Wolves - Matty Jarvis
Liverpool - Andy Carroll

Do you agree? Ideas on Leicester and Brighton?

Throughout our history we as a club now and then find a top striker only to sell them on without any kind of plan as to who will succeed the departed frontman it is for everyone who supports the club very very annoying.
The decisions on buying a new striker is equally frustrating when you see the ones we are "interested" in but decide against it as he is not a Salthouse man!.
Viktor Gyökeres the ex Coventry striker who was doing really well in the championship we had a chance to get this player but for whatever reason you give and the one told is £20million was to much for the player Sporting Lisbon thought not and now his value is said to be at least 3 times that and he is scoring goals for fun. Ivan Toney another one offered to us for £10million and Sullivan said no but admits he does regret that one.
So when you see the list that we were "linked" with throughout the Summer yet somehow decide that Antonio will be worth hanging onto for one more season and Fulkrug and this is not having a go at the player in any shape or form but deciding that we will spend £27million on a 31 year old play that has had injuries seemed very short sighted and a panic buy for me.
Was there ever a Duran deal to be done? if there was whoever knocked that on the head will have egg all over his face now as it appears after his start to the season the valuation is now £80million which if Villa decided to sell they would get easily because of his age and his ability.
So who is out there that could do a job for us as burying our heads in the sand is not going to solve the problem and for me i have to say taking into account our kitty if anything is left and it is coming out of left field here but i would like us to take a chance on a young striker and that is Josh Sargent at Norwich City Underwhelmed sighs i hear but i do think he can do a job for us far better than Antonio can and now that we have Fulkrug injured or not Sargent could learn a lot from him to help his continued development. As a club we have to think more along these lines than getting in an exotic sounding name form abroad and they are not up to standard for the championship let alone the Premier League as we have had to many of those types down the years and more recent times as well and before you have a pop and say Sargent is American i would like to think you know where i am coming from. So who have you been looking at or thinking why not take a chance on this guy or that guy?

What is the opinion of the esteemed members of the Org should West Ham don't win tomorrow?
Will or should Lopy be sacked? With an International break coming up. Is it a good time to sack and get a replacement. Should Lopy be given this break to sort this shit out?
Who would you replace Lopy with shoukd things go wrong? I would like to see Potter given a crack. I was leaning towards him before the Lopy appointment. I know he was unsuccessful at Chelsea but so have many before & since.

Is a saying El Loppo likes to use a lot in his press conferences. He uses it when he does not like the question. Or when he does not have an answer to the question. I'm pretty sure he understands the question as he checks with his interpreter next to him when unsure.

He mainly uses this tactic when asked about the previous game and a thumping defeat.

Well Julen. I have news for you. It is muchos importanté and the above response will not wash with the Hammers faithful!

Now, first thing to say here is it's a marathon, not a sprint. El Loppo looks a bit like a rabbit caught in the headlights at present. As we approach Halloween month, the ghost of the Moyesasaurus must be looming large, in the darkened corner of his office.

He might even speak to him "Hey amigo, they are calling me the paella Moyes". Cant see Moyes saying "it's no importanté senor" somehow..

I suppose after half a dozen games or so. Can anyone define the Spanish archers tactics? As some have said on here and I concur. There are improvements, but only tiny ones. El Loppo will change something very quickly. He will put subs on at Half Time. Even earlier. But tactically we seem the same. The defence is not stopping the basics. Why, is it the coaching? Is the dialogue getting misinterpreted? There does not seem to be a team cohesion, the plan is not there. The style is not obvious.

We all know about El Loppos appointment. He was the cheap option. Not contracted elsewhere. A lot of focus on Steidman and his movements with recruitment.

I for one wanted a young, forward thinking Manager. Front foot football. A clear modern take on the modern game. Not a household name necessarily. Look at Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard. All have not covered themselves in glory.

But look around. Lesser household names are coming up trumps. McKenna at Ipswich is a revelation. I watched Ipswich yesterday and they scared the hell out of me. Tremendous cohesion, work ethic, fluidity and creativity. Not too mention a couple of players we looked at Jack Clarke being one. Theres Maresca at Chelsea. Poached from Leicester, could we not have done that? Hurzeler has come in at Brighton and done wonders. All young, all destined for greater things. Then there was Amorim, who must surely be the one that got away. He is destined for the big time along with Xabi Alonso.

All I'm saying is. There are younger Managers out there who we could have got. Who have a playing style/identity that is clearly defined.

What is Lopoteugi's style? Does anybody know? Does El Loppo himself know? Does he make it up as he goes along? Yes, he needs time. Yes Stratford was not built in a day! But surely there has to be clearly defined targets. Not conceding goals, being hard to break down. Being clinical in front of goal!

Just don't tell me "it's no importanté Senor.......................!!
