Media will be happy

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Why you wonder? well after tonights footy i fully expect us to be in the bottom 3 and the tabloids will have a field day as they love bashing us and will be predicting the doom of the club and how we will spend years in the wilderness trying to rebuild blah blah blah....like with Talkshite radio and there woeful attempt at journalism i do not bother to listen or to read poorly researched pieces by the usual suspects...so do not despair fellow hammers let the media have there moment and lets see where the dust settles at the end of the season..COYI

Taking the P**S

Submitted by hammergirl on

Anyone not seen it then you just have to think what is our club coming to.What am i going on about well simply the latest in a long line of prank videos by the players this one involves Wheelchair you no the guy who is so brittle and injury prone and has to be handled with kid gloves Well he is filmed climbing into a tumble dryer(kids do not copy please)closing it and then flinging door open and shouting at Declan Rice to make him jump oh funny ha ha now how childish and pathetic can these players be and if he can so nimbly climb in and out of a tumble dryer i expect Moyes to give him the hairdryer treatment and put the Prick through a punishing schedule of fitness training as he can clearly do more than he says.

Must wins

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Brighton/Saints/Watford/Burnley/Villa....Home games we must win and Norwich away..win that its 18 points and puts us on the magical 40point mark and hopefully safe....i have picked these games because other home matches we have we will face stiffer opposition and yes Everton/Wolves/Chelski the teams more than capable of winning any of those but with our history just as likely to end up pointless.....Citeh/Bindippers dont see us getting anything Spuds away well we love winning our Cup final don't we:-) so we should scrape through with Moyes at the helm but it will be squeaky bum time for next few months.

Under Prepared Not Acceptable

Submitted by boogerscaravan on

I am very disappointed to report. That the aeroplane we used to fly into Doncaster Sheffield Airport this evening arrived at 1622 this afternoon. Followed by an hour on the road at least. Meant the team arrived between 1730 to 1800 for a game that started at 2000 hrs. This shows a total lack of preparation and respect for Sheff Utd. We deserved to get spanked... I'm disgusted., don't know what you think.?

Bilic Returns

Submitted by mcbikeman on

W.B.A. home in the cup tough game they are flying but we should get through 2-1.....be good to see Bilic again although i believed he had to move on for his sake and ours i am pleased he is doing well with west brom but be even more pleased once we beat them and march on to Wembley COYI

Player Power

Submitted by RayBre on

What I am about to say is meant to be constructive. We have had two good experience managers in Bilic and Pellegrini. Both finally had Hammers playing well and pushing up the table then all of a sudden we start to lose game after game until we are near relegation and both then get the sack. I find it odd that these managers go from being so experienced to quite incompetent. We go from excited that they are the new manager to “can't wait for them to be given the sack”.

Will it now happen to Moyes? Will he get us at the right end of the table and then the next moment lose just about every game till we are on the verge of relegation, and he goes?

What is this force that makes it happen that can destroy a manager, it must be Player Power. You see it in other clubs and WestHam are no different.

Mark Noble said in his message to the fans about Pelligini “but I do feel like we need to walk before we can run and build something”. Noble has been a professional in the top end of the game for over 15 years. If by now he does not know how to “walk”, what is the team to do? Keep in the bottom half of the table so Noble understands the instructions from the manager and he always gets a game.

Based upon what Noble is saying if Pep Gardiola or Jurgen Klopp became our manager, they would expect us to run, and they would meet the same fate as Pelligrini and Bilic. Sheffield United are way above us with mostly Championship players and they clearly know how to walk and run. Why don't we?

The facts are, you cannot learn to swim by paddling and you cannot learn to run until you run. If you can't walk, drop out of the team.

I don't know the answer to Hammers constant plight, I'm just a fan sitting on the outside looking on. All I can do is refer to historical performance and by what the loyal servant Mark Noble said. Which reminded me of Bobby Moore (who was another servant to hammers and another massive influence in the dressing room) who in the last few of his seasons we were playing to his level until he finally left for lower division Fulham. Is it the same for Mark Noble, I don't know.

In this latest WestHam drama I am asking myself, is Mark Noble the Protagonist or the Antagonist.

F.A. Cup Run

Submitted by hammergirl on

The Cups here and West Ham are live on BT sport tomorrow no prizes for guessing why now!! so can i please implore Mr Moyes to put out a strong side and those players picked to put in the effort and banish the recent cup horror shows that have made us the number one pick for the TV channels and supporter of lower league clubs because of our frailty. I want tomorrows game to be a one sided hammering but in our favour this time:-)and i have more than usual invested in this game having just got my nails done and i do not want to be chewing them off because of the teams display! COYI make us proud.

farewell beautiful people

Submitted by darrenharry on

Bonjour comrades.
Self indulgent post, please forgive one.
Just wanted to say goodbye.
Most importantly thank you Nev. Thank you for a wonderful and selfless act as custodian to this brilliant forum. You've provided a genuine mental health act for many us over the years, a place to vent and cry, laugh and agree.
I've been woefully inept in adding to content these past couple of years. Life has overtaken me. But interestingly, it's done the same to West Ham.
I know I'll always have an eye on my phone or the TV when we play, but the last few years....Jesus.
I used the Flying Physio room posts as a chance to take the piss out if how things could be.
I sadly fear they've read it and used it as a manual to run a club.
I used to write in Fortunes always hiding and latterly OLAS back in the day. That was fun, we could laugh, take the piss out of ourselves. But it seemed....friendlier then.
I don't like what I see now.
I hope they get it back, make it West Ham again, make it fun and clever and inventive. But I don't see that when I go there now. I don't like half and half scarfs. I don't like phones in the air, continually filming rather then watching. I don't like VAR. I don't like random searches by amateur stewardship.
I'm done.
One should go when one doesn't enjoy or love, and feel it a chore.
Never thought I'd write this about my team or me, but it feels right.
West Ham was always about the clarent and blue and the fans.
I wish you love peace and success.i hope you find it all.
Nev you are a legend. You have my details and we'll enjoy a glass soon.
