Mr West Ham

Submitted by boogerscaravan on

I think I may well be Mark Noble's biggest fan. I just love the guy. I think it's because of his loyalty, 100% commitment to the cause. Every season through thick and thin, he steps up. His post match interviews are brutally honest. Like i say I just love the guy.

500 appearances now and just wanted to put this together. Well done Mark and hope you keep going for as long as you can my old son. #Legend...

Lovely night, we are safe. Happy hammer, now what?

I think they will stick with Moyes surely they have to, he has been pretty awful but he has done exactly what he was asked to do.
I just hope if he does have a bad start the Chairmen get rid quickly.
Well done to the players for being professional tonight, I would have hated another bum squeaking game or two had we lost tonight.

Antonio

I have to admit I've been highly critical of him this season and it hasn't all been down to him Moyes came in for a load of shite too for playing him up there on his tod ,but 2 players in particular have changed things completely Souchec and Bowen ,at last acouple of players prepared to get up the field and sopport Ant ,the way he's hitting the net for us now ,who knows perhaps he'll turn into the memberships new wonder striker ,lately he's an absolute joy to watch

Farewell

So we survived by the skin of our teeth(full of bravado eh:-)) we have no money for the transfer market whats Moyes gonna do? ruthless and maybe unpopular decisions need to be made and some radical changes to the scouting team errrr we have one dont we? ahhh yes sullivan jnr.....anyway for me the following players need to be moved on wheelchair/Anderson/Lanzini/arthur/cressy/Balbuena/Reid/.....coming in is of course Soucek deal made permanent him and Rice look a good combo in the middle of the park i would keep Fornals/Haller because i do not believe either player has been utilized properly by either manager Haller yes looks disinterested and pissed off but he has never been a lone striker look how different he played when Antonio was put up alongside him in the southampton game he was making runs linking up play feeling much more comfortable but if Moyes decides he is not the answer and sells him then for me if Fulham do not come up we have to take Mitrovic like Antonio he would provide a physical presence up front and Cairney from them....i do not want to see anymore journeymen looking for a last big payday or so called big names lets find players who can for the most part remain fit and can play with some pace and passion.

It's never easy with West ham.

That 4-0 win at Norwich gave me much hope that it was done and dusted as I am sure it did everyone else, then Aston Villa and Bournemouth win quite easily to give me terrible acid reflux and start worrying once more.
The way we have been playing makes it look as if we can't throw away our advantage, but in the back of almost every hammer fans mind is the, 'this is West ham' reminder thought, cos we know that with West ham anything can happen.
But I have to say West ham look more together now than at any part of the season the team are playing some decent football . I just hope Moyes plays a positive attacking game against Watford, yea I know it will probably be an edgy tight defensive damp squib of a game because he does'nt want to lose a point.
That stadium though, so many people lost their businesses and houses when it was built that I am sure it has been cursed by them so many bloody times that no good will ever come of the thing, I hope I am wrong but it is never ever going to feel like a football stadium, looks great but feels quite wrong .

Anybody else noticed?

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Since the restart and the "water breaks" because of the hot weather being brought in has anyone else noticed the subtle almost subliminal way that some of the commentators think its a good thing and room for discussion to bring it in permanently....advertisers would love it and managers whose team is on the ropes would be all for it as it breaks up momentum but for me it is an annoyance and if it was ever to become a permanent fixture it would be a step to far.

End of Noble?

Submitted by hammergirl on

Nothing do with last nights brilliant result but playing a chelski side that put citeh to the sword few days previous i was worried because no matter how much we love him everyone knows his time is surely now coming to an end.Injury may well have forced Moyes's hand but hopefully it shows we can win big matches without "Mr West Ham".If we do stay up then sadly his days as a starter have to be over and no i do not see wheelchair as his replacement or Lanzini either so big decisions need to be made

Clear failure in club management

Submitted by moore2come on

I've just read a article on Zabaleta on Kumb and this has stuck out like the proverbial

Zabs "I picked up an injury a few weeks ago and I'm still working on my rehabilitation," he confirmed. "I'm a long way off being match fit, so it was a tough decision for everyone.
For me, as a player, when you feel that you're not a hundred per cent and you don't know how you're going to respond, I think the best thing is to say 'enough is enough'. I'm not going to extend my contract if I think that I'm not ready to play again.

"The board, the manager, and myself spoke about this and we were all happy with the decision. The club gave me the chance to stay here until the end of the season"

The manager and Dave's are happy to pay a guy what 80k a week who admits he's unlikely to be fit again for the remainder of the season. Happy to chuck 320k at someone as what, another golden handshake.

Typical WH. Happy to throw bad money after bad money
