it says (Enjoying the game? Please help to keep Hammers tv alive.) then you click on and its audio only and a popup at the top says this is not hammers tv but mob using this stream and West Ham cannot be held for what is shown. for fxxxx sake its either hammers tv or its not. no wonder its going tits up when even our own stream isn't our own.

For a start there must be a big clean out, the likes of Zazza, Tore, Callerie, Nordvelt, even Fernandez have to go. I don't expect Payet to stay as he will not want to face relegation and will be tempted by the bigger clubs with the promise of European football so we will need to find players that can help us stay up. For me it is good if we can get in 1 or 2 decent foriegn players but I would look to the championship players as they would not be as expensive but have a bit of experience. Also the Scottish league as there are some players that could adapt quicker than foriegn players and we will need them to start quickly. A couple that should be looked are Tom Rogic and Dembele from Celtic, both are in good form.
With the failure of the last transfer market we have no choice but to go for broke and it will be an interesting market.

Cheikhou Kouyaté, Diafra Sakho, Andre Ayew and Sofiane Feghouli if fit could all be missing in mid jan to 5th feb because of the african nations cup add to that the rumour of us being in for the sunderland centre back Lamine kone for around (£15million)if true he would also if fit be at the African nations cup......so what will happen to our formation and players coming in during this time.....upfront we all know we are short but sakho showed against utd his turn of pace has clubs having to respect us a bit more and sit back so without him will we buy/loan sturridge as a replacement? kouyate will be a massive loss so ginge reid and ogbonna will be the back 3 Antonio/cressy as wingbacks obiang in middle with noble lanzini/payet and who knows maybe carroll(new that would make you smile) upfront....there would not be much depth on the bench fletcher and maybe samuelson making a showing but we would not have much room for changing players around so have to hope we stay injury free for that month but we all know our luck there.....so heres hoping for heavy snow to fall during those weeks....palace/citeh at home saints/boro away....3 winnable matches at a critical time and a tasty one that you never know we may surprise a few again...
seriously though it is clearly going to be a crucial time for us and I do hope those at the club are aware and plans are being made or we could be in the brown stuff even more than we currently are.

on talking about sturridge and him being an 'england international' it got me thinking, does this really count for anything these days? it used to indicate a players worth and value but can anyone honestly say that these days playing for england is any big deal to have on your c.v? my argument is what exactly has england done in say the last decade or more? can we say that sturridge is worth signing because he's an england international? whats the value of this these days? is it more than say a colombian international? or a russian international? or swiss? we are no better than a lot of the nations that qualify for tournaments and do nothing of note. Its with this in mind that i wonder why english players attract such a high premium still for prem clubs? i think it also says a lot about the nations football standards that gareth south gate is going to get the job. i know he's had experience with the youngsters but this is a man who was abysmal at club level. how does he end up with the top job in the country football wise? i do however believe that perhaps the right way to look at it is well actually the players are not very good so whoever is in charge is going to make little difference. south gate however tactically is going to get out thought by many a nation in my view especially if we get to the big tournaments. he even accepted himself that he is just a 'basics' man. all in all its a pretty sad state of affairs. we've got an ageing rooney who seems to still be the main man for england despite him being pretty hopeless. says a lot that we have to keep debating if he should be in the team or not as there is simply a lack of talent to choose from otherwise he wouldn't be anywhere near it. he reminds me of david platt….no real ball skills or incisive passing but could score goals…only rooney can't do that anymore.

january coming round and its clear we will be buying but why are the board so obsessed with big name/marquis players? why not do better research on players instead of oh yeah heard of him he must be good lets buy!! sturridge and now mandzukic have been linked with moves...the latter is 30 never played in this league why would he be a success? the former is selfish and when injured its never short term err been there doing that right now..
so why buy names? is it because they fear as fans we would not go if we have never heard of the player?...yes sometimes it is nice to be linked to players with high profiles but come on Antonio is proof that you can unearth real gems for little outlay and now his profile is as high as most in the prem....so stop scouring the foreign market to death lets have a look closer to home and whilst you do have to pay more surely its better than laying out big bucks for lame ducks.....

impossible I know and undeserved but I want to talk about how much more fluid we were today and how much better we were through the middle of the park we were quicker sharper in moving the ball...obiang was immense and lanzini had a great game.....will noble struggle to get back in on todays performance? sakho of course way off match fitness tried hard but he was heavy legged but games under his belt he will get that back its just unfortunate those games are manure gooners and poo.........fernandes looked good again Antonio just gets better and better and scores no matter what position he plays in. we still have work to do of course but despite the travesty of todays result the team played well for 89mins!

been a slow week for news club wise because of the international break so a story surfaces that the Quatar are looking to buy a premier league club and first name up was ours.......if they came in with a mega offer(somewhere in usa we have been valued at £1billion)do you think the board would sell? we all hear that they will not sell the club but as ever money talks.....after seeing the pictures this week of the Boleyn being demolished I just think the club I followed from boy to man is slipping further and further away....

Ok OK its the silly season for rumours once more but if you have seen the morning papers about possible strikers we are interested in but please sturridge from the poo come on......don't we have enough injury prone strikers as it is......someone pass the giant salmon as I feel that those responsible for our buys need a slap.....or are we forward planning because if carroll goes to china the treatment room will need to be kept busy lol

Dear West Ham fans, my name is Chris and I work for The Royal British Legion.
I just wanted to let everyone on the forum know that during West Ham’s game versus Stoke City both clubs will wear shirts embroidered with a poppy in show of Remembrance. These shirts will be signed and auctioned with all proceeds kindly donated to the Legion.
West Ham FC have been big supporters of the Legion by displaying the poppy on their shirt, allowing us to raise incredible amounts to support the future of the living and also help us uphold the memory of fallen.
If you would like to own a piece of the Hammer’s memorabilia whilst also supporting the Legion please keep a look out on the club’s official channels for when the auction goes live in late November/early Dec
