Mystic Enfield has gazed into his crystal ball to see what delights our beloved West Ham has in store for us.
I see before the season commences we shall participate i the summer transfer window. However, do not get excited. He will be a fringe player who will keep the bench warm. After a 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth on the opening day the daggers will be firmly out for Moyes.
Despite the Hammers trying to cheer the faithful with a lap of honour with our European prize from last season in our first home game. Poch & his Chelsea team will walk away from the London Stadium with an easy earned 3 points. The toxic atmosphere from an inept performance will turn to the box. Sullivan & co finally decide to have a dabble in the market but Moyes decides the latest costly addition is not match fit and only warrents a place on the bench at our nemesis Brighton & Hove Albion. Despite holding the Seagulls until half time we eventually capitulate and lose by 3 late goals. A final warning is issued to Moyes. A point minimum is what is required at Luton. The team duly assist but tensions remain. Moyes is then given the unenviable task of being told to get 4 points against City & Liverpool. With no further additions to the squad we are thumped at home by City and Moyes duly recieves his cards. With little or no time left to bring in a manager or players and with no plane. Mr West Ham himself is asked to steer the good ship West Ham through the stormy waters.

Meltdown ???

It would be fair to say there is a great deal of unhappy and divided hammers fans at the moment ,i think goin by this particular site the vast majority of fans think Moyes has to go ,whereas other sites are not so sure , there's something goin on that their not telling us about , captain birdseye Sully away on his boat in the Med with some blond , the coaching staff cant seem to get away fast enough , no activity in the trans world ,our best player for decades gone to the gooners and our manager doesn't know if he's comin or goin .
Could the situation land us in trouble on the divided issue ? ,what i mean is could it manifest itself on the terraces which would really see us doomed .
This Rice transfer seems to be the cause of our inactivity in attracting any decent signings ,its like ,Jaysus ,we've come into 105 huge ones ,sssh ,don't tell anyone ,reminds me of Fagin in Oliver with his arms wrapped around his loot so as not put it on show to all the other villains .
The players we've shown an interest in , JWP ,Mcquire, and tomo, ain't worth a toss ,and even if they were ,offering half of what their clubs are asking makes us a laughing stock .
Ive never known a feeling of despondency at the club ,its like the term nuclear scientists use when the shite is goin to hit the fan , critical mass.

So Pi***d off with how we are run

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Two weeks from the start of the season and still no sight of a signing......thought this guy from Citeh was meant to of signed by now nope now you hear that the bid we made for JWP is £17million what a joke why would the Saints accept that?....Moyes saying its difficult because we went to Australia so unable to do deals till we get back home and whilst he knows and loves his relationship with Noble he does not no Steidten that well yet and that takes time....so in other words i don't give a shit what he says i will sign the players and nobody else has a say...its central defender here
central defender there ffs we need a left back what about midfield and upfront thats the priority not another bloody winger...this season may MAY i say start with a win but after that its Brighton we all know whats going to happen there and then Chelski and we all know Moyes will draw a line in the sand there normally about five ten yards outside our own box and dont dare cross it or think of attacking.

Sullivan to busy getting his you no what polished to care then when we are back in the bottom half and the club struggling everyone will be throwing there hands up in the air saying how's that happened we didn't see that coming well we wont field strong team in the league cup as staying in the prem is our priority and so the whole rotten circus carries on season in season out i am so fed up with this shit its the same every year......so once a few panic buys been made they will take a year to bed in and as fans sorry to say we are just looking at the before during and aftermath of a huge pileup on the motorway.......what a circus and the only way you can kill off a circus is go for the juggler.......seasons not started and had enough of the crap coming out of our club....

18 days to the new season starts!

Submitted by Enfieldhammer on

With the new season about to start. We need to know what is happening at our beloved club. European success should have been a springboard to take the club to a new level. But for some reason not only has the handbrake been applied. The club seems to have slammed into reverse.
Is the club a victim of the success of David Moyes leading us to European glory? Was it Sullivan's intention to sack Moyes at the end of the season? But a trophy winning season has made it impossible? Is a takeover in the hoping. Are the club reluctant to invest because of this? Whatever. The club is not equipped to go into the new season with the current players. A strong start is imperative. Hoping a lesson has been learned from last season. If it has not a repeat performance in the league might not be so fortunate.

Style of play

Submitted by hammergirl on

So what style of play do you expect to see from the Moyesaurus next season? Free flowing on the front foot pressing teams and creating chances from open play OR given the rumours that abound this time of year a team that sits deep(sound familiar)and scores from set pieces.

Given the rumours that Moyes really wants Maguire ffs and pressing for Ward Prowse i think we all no its the latter as he gets locked into his obsession of counter attacking footy with a big centrehalf to get onto the deadball situations that Moyes so loves and heavily relies on.

If and its a big If Scamacca stays he will once more be stuck up top on his own with little if any support which is a tragedy IMO and another striker that when he goes will for some reason or another start banging them in and Moyes will have to try and explain that one.

So do not expect to see Bowen/Benni(if he stays!)Barnes if we get him though more likely to get John than Harvey!....but do not expect any exciting free flowing football just the slow predictable stuff we have seen the past couple seasons.

Preseason friendlies mean and show nothing of whats to come except for the last one before the season starts thats when you will see the real tactics the Moyesaurus will employ and sadly we will be up that creek again pretty damn quickly.

"give me the tools and i'll finish the job" a famous Quote from Churchill well we have one tool we need shot of but it is not going to happen unless some stinking rich Quatari Sheik rocks up and we dont want that either what a club West Ham are eh talk about a conundrum.

Camaraderie

Submitted by Hammers65 on

Why did we win the ECL?imo the above! A togetherness at the end of a truly poor season,the reasons for this could be a number of things,the manager,the players,the board.
I remember as a kid playing for a junior side,we were the whipping boys for a good year,but we were all mates had a great laugh in training etc we wernt too bothered about getting thumped 10 nil or whatever we just used to say to each other - " you effing mug sort yourself aht!!"
We won 1 game & the floodgates opened,went on a run of about 15 unbeaten.....
Roll on 30 years later my boy played for a junior side,I'd go every week get to know the parents etc the kids were all mates & the parents all talked about each others families etc...
History repeated itself the boys tried their hardest,had a laugh & gave their best,training was a fun time for us adults watching especially in the rain when the boys would go sliding into puddles,my boy even did the 'worm'...
Anyway cut a long story short my sons team beat their biggest rivals 10 - 1 to lift the league title,one of my proudest moments as a dad...
Camaraderie,the most important thing in my book
