To qualify for European football two seasons in a row through our league position is a marvelous achievement and the players and the manager and coaches deserve a round of applause.

Now we have to push on and as i have mentioned forget the foreign market please David go get Toney get Broja on loan thats the front line sorted then for me i would cheekily bid for Maddison from Leicester and again go to Chelski and Loan Gallagher if they are open to such a deal then its just a left back and another centreback and i think we will be in fine fettle for next season.

Unless that has a release clause i cannot see him signing it but Come on £200 Thousand a week when most of us are struggling to make a living whats the world coming to

Stubborn stubborn stubborn that is Moyes for you he refuses to buy anyone unless they improve the squad thats fair enough but to claim that there was just nobody available was laughable and as everything goes tits up for us you read the pathetic news we tried a £50million bid for Nunez followed by only reason it did not happen was the paperwork could not be done in time making it impossible and the same with Kalvin Phillips and Raphina why would Leeds sell in a dogfight.

My point being as Lingard has learnt when your stock is high thats when you make your move not a wait n see policy.....we were in europe we were playing attractive football the media for once were loving us and the way we played but for some reason and i cannot quite put my finger on it but for some reason we just ground to a halt on all fronts and sadly a season of promise has fizzled out faded and died etc etc.

Europa conference next season who knows or cares to be honest and thats not snobbery on my account i just fail to see the point of us playing European football if Moyes persists in such a small squad we will hear the usual refrain about tired players and all that waffle.

Injuries yes they have played there part but no club is immune from that its part of football life but so heres that dreaded phrase..Lessons Will be Learned...we can but hope and pray they are but this summer all i can see is a bunch of Everton cast offs being linked and most likely bought and the decent players the top four not interested in well the barcodes will be sweeping those up.

We had a chance a real chance to do and be something other than the West Ham we all know but sadly we will just go back to being a midtable side at best but now Bowen/Rice had a taste of European football it could well be a disastrous summer for the club.

For me, Id go all out to break the bank for him. We have to sign him in the summer. He's been loyal to Brentford and they have had an efficient first season in the league.

Harry Kane aside, he has to be the best English number 9 in the country and god knows we are crying out for a central figure. Big strong throwback to the English game. Coolest penalty taker you've ever seen (sorry Nobes)! For me he is a late shout for a World Cup place.

Ticks all our boxes and will get Benny playing again to his full potential I believe.

If the Bees want 40 million plus, then lets pay it. Ivan Toney the BOM is waiting for you!!!!

Keep him or sell him in the summer? for me its Sell......for all the undoubted ability he has he just does not do it when given the chance and thats why he is in and out of the side on a regular basis....Vlasic?paid way to much for him and i wonder if thats what keeps Moyes so cautious when it comes to transfers and how it reflects on his judgement.....lessons will be learned? who knows but for me Benny has to go but we'd be lucky to recoup what we paid for him.

Its no secret that I've gone from season ticket holder at The Boleyn to a casual spectator at the Meccano Stadium. I was sceptical of the induction meeting for renewal of season ticket and decided to do a few "viewings" before committing myself again based on computer generated scenery. I'm glad I did, the OS is shit, the sightlines are horrendous, the atmosphere lost in the void, the prematch experience has gone and getting home is no better than the queue at Upton Park if not worse.
I always said that it would take something special to make me venture back to the ground which I did earlier this season to watch Brentford, who were my second team whilst in the Championship and nothing then has made me change my mind that match days at the OS are something I'd look forward to.
It was, however my intention to be at the City game for what is expected to be the Legend that is Marky Nobles final home game. The only seats available are at the back of the upper tier (something I said I'd never subscribe to as the view from the lower is bad enough) but then I saw the price. £75. Are they having a giraffe? What happened to the affordable football they were banging on about? For £75 I wanna be sat in the dugout at that place.
Rant over!

Plan A..4231..Plan B..4231....You get the general idea of my post now...know doubt you may of read some of my posts on other threads saying about how tough it is to watch us play right now...kick off sit deep and hope to hit the opposition on the counter...it has worked for a good while but now it is very stale the players have lost there spark and seem very lethargic in play and this has been going on for to long for my liking and there seems little in the way of change coming so has Moyes and his team hit a brickwall and have no idea/clue as to how to change things?

Football evolves and if you become predictable then you are dead in the water and that is us right now....does Moyes and his coaches have no faith in the players to try something different because he has been flogging a dead horse for months now and i do not believe that just because we played on a thursday we cannot play on a sunday...the spuds game aside where the extra time clearly got to the players legs but even then there was no spark no kind of stubborn resistance from the players just nothing....and this Sunday my God in possibly the worst performance of the season just what was Moyes thinking? he surely could of started Kral/Vlasic/Diop even Noble and given some of our side a rest but know he just keeps hitting his head against a brickwall.

For all the plaudits Moyes has rightly received for we the fans and the media he has to accept and do something about changing the teams mentality especially at home and stop giving the oppostion the initiative from the start.

Been talking with my fellow hammers at the game but thought i would ask it here.If one of these two players were to be sold who would you prefer to be the one that stays? for me and it would seem a number of those i have talked to most would prefer Bowen to stay and for varying reasons,for me i like the energy and the fight he brings to the side my Dad said he reminds him a bit of Mark Ward back in the day!! that i will leave to the older generation on here as i never saw the man play.

The other reason for me is i think we have a better chance of holding onto Bowen more than Rice because if the big clubs do start throwing £££££££££'s away at what point does the players head get turned and the club think christ we jokingly said that amount and someones come in with it.

Now everyone agrees you cannot replace a player like Rice he is a once in a generation player and they do not come round that often and not at a club like ours but i do feel the team could adjust and find a player not to replace but to bring something to the club in the middle of the park where as in this girls humble opinion i do not think we could easily replace Bowen.

So there you have it boys what do you think?

So i do not know if anyone else saw the announcement that uefa are looking at awarding a champions league place to the FA cup winners brilliant yes what a great idea BUTTTTTTT if you are not one of the so called big six or have a european pedigree then no you are not wanted at the table....total joke and one reason why as much as i have enjoyed the european adventure this season if we are not in it next season i am not to bothered.

What happened about winning things on merit? naaaa can't take a chance on that one of the big boys may miss out its pathetic it goes against everything that is meant to be a fair playing field....now we have the 5 subs rule the big boys are happy well i just wish they would all just bugger off and play in there euro super league because i for one would not watch it but be happy to see certain clubs just gone from our game.
