Fired up yet?

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Spuds today and normally throughout the week the banter between me and my bruv would be flying but nope not this time for me it is just gone flat no desire to dish out anything and that says it all in a match that above all others we must not lose it is just not giving me goosebumps or nerves before the kickoff....nope nothing at all and i truly hate the people who run the club for causing that....and the Players for having no guts for a fight...Spuds are in a bad moment but nothing compared to us but honestly after the Wolves debacle i can see this being worse.

Only West Ham could do that

Read this morning that the reason our new Striker did not get on the pitch at the weekend is because he is injured! give me strength....if this is true why was he on the bench? and why are we signing an injured player? ahh stupid me its West Ham it's what we do..just a small whiff of Romford Radiation has already done for him...

Managerial change is the only (remote) chance

Submitted by The Ironworker on

I haven't posted on here for some years now, but with all the chatter going on about this, here's what I think.
A manager who can "win ugly" and grind out results is the only way to go. Forget the myth of "entertaining" football or weaving pretty patterns all over the field.
Sacking the manager is easy, the difficult part is appointing the right replacement, which to me is NOT Di Canio, Bilic, Parker etc.
I personally would never have appointed Espirito Santo, Potter or Lopetegui as all were for various reasons,"damaged goods".
Gary O'Neill is a possibility, as is Carrick, but I'd now be having a chat with Allardyce on a contract to the end of the season with an option for another year should we go down, as if that were to happen he'd get us back up.
That's my view, and as unpopular as it may be, feel free to fill your boots and c**t me off for it, but I'll back my judgement 100%.

Has written a letter of complaint to David Sullivan claiming that the drama at West Ham is overshadowing her Drama writing on Eastenders and it has to stop as her ratings are falling! and oh how she needs a Villain as good as Nuno on her show right now.

I think this story sums us up

Submitted by Dartford Bhoy on

I was at the Brighton game, mad I know and will be at the Forest game.

Most unusually I left early, the trains were a mess and I couldn't afford to miss a connection as this would have added nearly an extra two hours to the journey, next week I will drive!

So having left about 5 mins early I headed fleet of foot to Stratford with a fair few others chuntering about the game and lack of defense, lack of this, lack of that, the usual stuff.

When I got close to Westfield, just outside the station and the last point of the marshals slowing or stopping / halting the crowd, the main Marshal / Steward thought it ever so funny to play through his phone and the loudhailer Monty Python Life of Brian Always Look On The Brightside of life.

Nothing wrong with that you might think, where's your sense of humour but... the pri** was wearing a Chavski Beanie!!!

Thousands marched past with zero reaction... Including me!

The more mature Orgers would probably agree that such an event was never seen at Upton Park, there would have been a mini riot and said *rick would have had the loudhailer shoved somewhere intermit! In short no one would have dared such a stunt and take such a liberty!!

I just thought on the train that I was totally wrong about the move to the BoM and all my initial positivity had evaporated. It really was the moment our club truly died, we lost our heritage, our culture... in the words of every away fan to the BoM "We sold our soul for this ****hole!"

I have backed the BS OUT campaign and will continue to give them support.

January

Submitted by mcbikeman on

It;s that time of year for going on a diet hunting a bargain and booking a bit of Winter sun break....and for those who over did it on the old CC for Christmas the bills due! but for West Ham it's the time to be linked to any and every player going with the dire situation we are in so this morning trawling through the usual sites trying to get an inkling of what might be happening i saw this little headline and it made me smile...West Ham have expressed interest in a January deal for 25-year-old Wolves and Norway striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.....now last year i mentioned this player and would be more than happy to have us sign him and if this rumour is true i still am...obviously he is not doing a lot this season as Wolves are so bad but he ticks the boxes for me and of all the other players we have been linked with so far and beggars can't be choosers i hope this is a deal we pull our finger out and make happen...no low bids no dragging it out throughout the window put in a bid that shows we are serious and hopefully the player thinks yes he wants out and we get him and one other striker.

9 wins needed

Submitted by mcbikeman on

21 games to go and my belief is we need that many wins to stay up but where are they coming from? Fulham next up at the bowl of misery but how certain are we to win that? we threw away points at Bournemouth Brighton Villa had we not done that we would be in a lot better position to survive but now there is a gap and not only do we need to win we now have to rely on others dropping points and that is never good.
