Your not West Ham anymore that's become a familiar taunt from the terraces by opposition fans and can we really disagree with them?...3 London derbies two at home and one away what a difference when we play away and no i do not mean just the results i mean the atmosphere spuds/gooners at home two of our biggest games and the grounds like a mausoleum chelski away a different animal and atmosphere because it is our traveling support who really come together and win lose or draw they give it there all and shout and scream and cheer the team on no matter the utter dross we are serving up.It is shameful what has happened to the club that i grew up with move to a new ground so we can compete with the big boys and yet here we are down the line still struggling while clubs like Leicester/Wolves/sheff utd/Burnley/Brighton/Palace all above us all doing a hell of a lot better than us and not one in a sixty thousand arena nope just regular clubs with ground capacities under forty thousand....Wolves/Blunts/Brighton are the clubs that really prove our board got it so wrong as the move was only ever about money in there pockets and screw the fans.We are a joke of a club and when we go down and that is a serious possibility does anyone believe we would bounce back like last time because i for one do not.I used to love this club with a passion like no other but it is slowly being eroded away and i just do not no if it will ever come back to how it used to be.

So Pep admits his team can't compete with the elite. How does he get away with it? The man has arrogantly insisted his 'way' is the greatest. It's fine when you're winning or even competing. But how can we overlook the fact he has always 'bought' his team's rather than built them?

For me being so far behind Liverpool and humiliated by an average United shows actually he's pretty average himself. Unable to stroll the league despite having two starting 11s better than anyone's first team?

Well well. Asked recently if he needed to add a defender to his squad he beamed 'of course not'. He can play midfielders in defence instead, he's the genius remember?

Very sad to hear of the death of Ron Saunders. He was an old school manager who took Aston Villa to a Division One title (pre-Premier League days!) and two League Cup wins. We wouldn’t mind a manager who’d take us to ONE of those trophies!!

We at West Ham are so sorry to hear about your worst winless run since 1977 so we will do all that we can to make sure that ends on Monday evening...to help you out we promise not to worry your fragile defence with any kind of penetrating runs we will constantly play the square pass and slow the tempo down so nobody gets out of breath...we will try and get Roberto back in goal for you but sadly Martin will have to play as he is a gift from the manager to our fans as he wants to keep on there good side!! All in all we wish you all the best in this time of giving and at West Ham we love nothing more than giving goals away so enjoy yourselves on Monday and we hope the smiles we give your fans will make you think of us fondly as we slip into the relegation zone because its not just this time of the year that we at West Ham believe in Giving.

All the best now

EL Pel& Players

OK so he's the record signing. But he's anonymous in games. But having said that, when he does get on the ball he looks classy, good control, keeps the ball and lays it off well. He does not graft or get involved, but has he ever had too?

In Germany he played a totally different game, mostly with a strike partner. We have Antonio and the lesser spotted Ajeti. So why does Wurzel insist on playing Haller up front on his own like a dick in the wind?

His body language is awful, he must be dejected as we are not playing to his strengths. When Wurzel was at Citeh, he played Dzeko and Tevez as a two. I thought he would play the same way here but no.

I honestly feel the talent is within the squad. But the tactics are woeful. Surely the Dildos have had enough now?

Time for a change, and lets get these players playing properly!!

Despite our fantastic display and win over Chelski El Pel still has a lot to make up for if he is to survive the chop but would Eddie Howe the much touted for and if you believe what you read the favoured choice of the board be any different? Courted by many clubs according to the media and yet no one seems to of made an approach so why is that? it cannot be because of the cost of getting him away from Bournemouth because that is just the price of doing business.....i just wonder about Howes ambtion because right now he is very comfortable in a job he has done bloody well over the years and keeping a club like Bournemouth in the premier league is an incredible achievement...he is astute in the transfer market and has many many players comparable to our own but being able to push on with a club of that size is difficult but would it be any different for him with us? i doubt that greatly....he would be under pressure to immediately to improve an underachieving group of players
his ability to get the right players in would be scrutinized a hell of a lot more than where he is right now and a fan base that demands good football which he does provide and winning a cup and finishing in the top 8 which though a not a god given right to do so when you have sixty thousand fans at home games demanding such a thing when compared to the twelve thousand at Bournemouth has he the guts and drive to want/make a move happen...Manure/Spuds/Chelski all muted to of been interested in getting him in and yet when the Chance has arisen nothing ever happened you have to ask why?...so whilst i admire the job he is doing down there the difference between managing them and a much Bigger club and all the pressure and expectation that comes with it i for one am not so sure he could or would be given the time...and if If you believe the papers today about Brendan Rogers having a release clause and wanting the Arsenal job would Leicester then take a chance on Howe?

Because Its the only way we'll keep a clean sheet:-)

call David Moyes. Lol. I can see him steadying the ship like he did before. going back to basic defending and ball winning but would the board see him as a permanent this time and if so...is this a good thing?

Well, it says it all really. (Two Bob) Roberto, see what I did there? The keeper is Two Bob at best and even that is being generous. Couldn't catch a bus, stop traffic, or save the whale. Any hole is a goal, as they are raining in every Jeffing week. Wurzel Gummage Pellegrini must be the most stubborn person going. He will not change anything and keeps serving up the same old shit, just like a bushtucker trial. I've had enough now, this is just bollox....

Its not a quick fix but we really miss a good spine / heart of the team. Some call it a "Core". The likes of Leicester, Burnley and Bournemouth have it in bucket loads. What I mean by that is a group of players that know each other and play for each other. Previously I would have added Watford but this season they also have something lacking.

I put our troubles down to a constant change all over the club. The last three years have seen nothing but change. Starting with the obvious move from UP, managers, players, backroom staff etc etc. We have no heart / spirit but absolutely no consistency. Players brought in have never IMO matched what left. Obvious is Snoddy with Payet or Haller with Arnie. But lots of others. We seem to have lost some of the backbone unsung players like Cheikhou Kouyaté, Pedro Obiang and even James Tomkins and... at a push Adrian. I think this is down to the merry go round of managers and the owners who think the best way to pacify the fans is with marque overseas signings when maybe a few local hard working pro's is the answer for a club like ours? I also think our academy has totally dried up particularly when you compare to Chelsea and Im not even referring to the kids in the first team but to all the kids they have out on loan that are settling the football world a lite.

Short term we need some sort of result but must have confidence. I would start with Rice moving back to Centre back and just sealing up the gaps. Martin in goal, I think he is also poor but still better than Roberto.

Or... Pray for a miracle that Antonio and Lukasz Fabianski make a quick return?
