Anybody else lost complete interest?

Submitted by boogerscaravan on

I don't know why? Maybe it's the format, maybe it's the duration away. Maybe it's the sterile environment? But I have zero interest at present.

The team I've loved and followed passionately for over 50 years is unrecognisable, the game as I know it is unrecognisable at present!

Maybe if I get used to the way it is now, I will change. But the worst part is the not knowing which way the game will go...Strange days indeed!!

Well, that went well!

Well, so much for all the optimism of playing at home in an empty stadium without those nasty supporters giving the team grief for being a shambles and not there to cheer on a team put together by now officially the worst West Ham manager on record. I wonder if in his mind losing to an inform side at home by just 2 goals is a success?

So sorry I wasn’t there to witness Spanish international Fornals hit a volley so far from the goal that had I been there in my usual seat (in the Sir Trev stand) I might have got hit by the ball! Even at school level the games teacher would have trashed a kid for such incompetence!

Sorry I didn’t waste numerous hours and money travelling to the BoM.

Sorry that Wolves are a very decent side, they are by comparison a small club but have a better facilities, coaching set up than anything we could relate too. They and Leicester are now well ahead on so many levels. Each season, if we stay up, our greatest ambition is top half of the table but never top eight.

So, where does the blame sit. Squarely with the running of the club and mainly the Porn Dwarf’s . Even if you give them the befit of the doubt being true West Ham fans neither really understand how to run a modern day Premier League Club.

I have two season tickets and will still probably renew one. I have 3 grandsons, one from an Arsenal and one from Chavski family and I will actively encourage them away from WH, I love them too much for that!

The other one belongs to my son so God love him he has no choice and just celebrated his first birthday… with a West Ham kit. To him I save my biggest SORRY

Eight draws just won't cut it

Submitted by Jozi-iron on

With eight games to go eight draws gets us to 35 points and Championship football. It's time to throw caution to the wind, we need a couple of wins, and soon. I recon 12 more points should be enough, realistically that's three wins and three draws. That even allows us two more defeats. But that only happens if you have a plan. Going out there hoping for a draw is not a plan.
Two up front is a must from now on. We have to get into teams, get under their skin,not allow them to settle, dictate the pace.
We CAN beat Burnley, Newcastle and Norwich, but we must also go out with the attitude that Chelsea and Spurs are beatable as well.

Moment of truth

100 odd days a chance to recharge and think of what formation what players he wants so now Moyes and the players have to step up for next 9 matches and prove to those watching that they deserve our support...no fans in the stadium so no pressure from the stands...we have heard in the past about how the crowd affects players and the pressure it puts on them well now with a stray pass or missed chance we will not be there to howl moan groan(i've done enough of that recently!)so the players will not have that excuse but we will also not be there to cheer them on to applaud some great movement to get excited as the team pile on the pressure as we roar our approval...so what can we expect from West Ham as ever you never know i just hope we survive COYI we have missed you.

Everybody's second team amazon

I guess like me you are getting a bit feed up with the lockdown and started looking for something to watch on the box.

I recently came across this :

Its better to watch on the TV with Amazon Prime. It could be seen by the younger supporters as a bit twee, its just chat with rather odd cartoon characters. It focuses on the late 70's and the cup win in 1980. As someone who just past 60 this was a great period for me. I thought we played some of the best football and the two years in the old 2nd Div were not really an issue. We held onto Bonds and Brooking and made some brilliant signings notably Phsycho, Dev, Pancho, the most expensive goalkeeper in the world at that time, Parks and the most expensive teenager ever, Tonka...all this to a club in the second league! On that basis alone you see why todays West Ham fans feels our club has lost its ambition. Take the time to watch it, brought back some very special memories!

Stay well everyone, stay safe... we are Moore than
