Robbed twice in two Premier League matches, we could be in 4th place on 55 points, +14 GD, and reasonably clear of 6th place. Instead, we will lucky not to be sat 6th after the referees do their "work" at Old Trafford today. I'm struggling to come up with reasons why this is happening to us on such a regular basis: how many red cards already rescinded (too late) this season for West Ham? How many penalties not given? How many serious fouls against us unpunished? Is it the big money generally, and the threat West Ham pose of cracking into the Big Time? Is it specifically the big money invested in Man City? Is it that none of the teams up North would be in a Champions League Place if we were in 4th? Is it fear that England could lose CL places if teams like Leicester and West Ham failed to perform in the CL? Is it all of the above? Or do we just happen to have gotten the wrong end of the decisions time and time and time again, pure bad luck? For myself, I think it is that the global brand of Manchester United is just too big, and some people will do ANYTHING to make sure that they qualify for the Champions League. Well, we will see. Bring on the big boys. We have Arsenal and Manure at home. Let's see them try to walk over us. IRONS!

Well you often hear it from the so called big clubs that things even themselves out over a season, personally I never have believed it as a fan from a team outside the usual suspects. Well if anyone is believe it is true we only have a few games left and during these games that have been denied Us through refereeing incompetence, we are gona be going on a red hot streak no one can touch! Of course I could be right and it's just a load of smoke and mirrors to deflect the favouritism from certain clubs. From now until the season end who will get more rub of the green West Ham or Man Utd? If the saying is true we should breeze it somehow I think it just ain't gona happen.

Well it sounds like we may have a dilemma at right back today! Options! We have Antonio currently at right back, in your opinion do we need him more in midfield? Do we play o Brian as he is probably match fit now, do we take a risk with Tomkins match fitness and play him or do we play 3 at the back and Antonio and cresswell as wing backs? Personally I really think it might be a good idea to have the wing backs. Palace are quite strong on the flanks which would help nullify this threat whilst keeping our strengths going forward. What do you think?

Old thatch head himself still cant accept that West Ham are on a good run

On the WH ticket site I notice they have had a ballot for tickets for next weekend for members. Sorry if it sound daft ( been a shite day at work ), My mates a season ticket holder and has a wedding that day, I mentioned about this ballot to him but he reckons I'll be ok as the seat is his anyway for the whole season,.. Question, is he right or I'm I going to be scanked and find out that the seat ( which is his ) going to be taken 'couse of this ballot....thanks for any advice,

Does anyone actually believe the bull that people are shovelling on this subject? For those who don't know, there are warnings that if the nation votes for a brexit in June that loads of players from the the prem or even other teams, will be kicked out of their clubs. Ha ha I have never heard of such b@llocks how stupid do these people think we are? Or how desperate has the "in" camp become?

Except for Kouyate, who apparently has bronchitis, the team weathered the international break in good form. We can count our lucky stars. There are two premier league goalkeepers whose seasons are over due to injuries while playing for their country. I guess it's still because of what happened to Deano, but every time we have and international break I hold my breath and hope for the best. Should be able to make a good run for it now with just eight to play. What a season!

so I am not a gambler but yesterday I found a pound coin in the street and for some reason I thought go on i'll have a scratch card something I had never done before anyways it won and doubled my money to £2 so I got a lucky dip lotto and this morning I find I had 3 numbers and so that £1 has become £25 very nice so £15 petrol in the motor which as I don't do a lot of driving will last a good while and I thought hell they say things come in threes so with the other £10 have a bet on the football this weekend......looking lost in the bookies I asked the cashier can I bet on just two matches(novice I know) she said yes so I have put the princely sum of £10 on Norwich and sunderland to win which if it happens will return me apparently £46.20.....
now of course I don't expect it to win because your on the slippery slope thinking like that after all there is a reason its called gambling but after Saturday win or lose that will be it for me on the betting front.....so I hope any of you who bet regular get lucky this weekend like I have this week but please be careful and don't over do it.

this man just gets better and better the only thing we as west ham fans can say to those who are watching with envy this player get better and better is this .WE'VE GOT PAYET DIMITRI PAYET I JUST DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HE'S SUPER SLAVS MAN HE'S BETTER THAN ZIDANE WE'VE GOT DIMITRI PAYET......COYI
