It's never easy with West ham.

Submitted by chubbyTURK on

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?

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

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!

Submitted by Dartford Bhoy on

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.
