West Ham Online

2,500 posts by the end of the season?

Had to have a double take to make sure it was correct. The last time we won a game was 7 games ago and that was against doomed Burnley. 

Which clown poster thought Dyche was the better option

Piss poor performance from Forest, their fans wish they had kept Nuno

Ferret
You obviously haven't been a West Ham fan long
So far his 32 minutes of PL football have brought 1 goal, not a bad return in 3 appearances.
This season against LG and LG2  opposition he's played 4 games scored 3 times and 3 assist's.

If you don't warrant that as a player than could and probably would contribute to most teams in the PL , let alone a team 3rd from bottom,6 points behind the teams higher up than us and without a win in the 6 games he's been available then stick to Christmas wrapping , conkers or a board game you got for Christmas last year, twat...

Is he gonna get us a goal? Is he gonna help us defend a lead?

The answer to both of those questions is no.

That’s why we have Soucek/Guido/Irving on the bench.

Oh yes the prolific Guido and Irvine. Joke poster.

Soon as we see Kilman and Paquetas names in the starting 11 for Fulham, Guido Irvine and Soucek as the bench subs and no sign of Earthy etc , that will be the time to call it a day  black arm bands

Still plenty of points to play for, so let's see what happens with or without the present Crackhead remaining in charge or not. It's not quite a total write-off yet even if it doesn't look good at all right now.

With this squad even Pep couldn’t keep us up, by end of January it will be obvious even to a blind man we’re going down, so then start preparing who to keep, who to get rid of and who’s going because we’re in the championship.

Has issues with concentration although last Saturday and previous games Im just seeing a CB who is not fast or strong or aggressive enough. That 2nd goal for City an example. He had to throw his leg, body across but just not quick enough or perhaps brave enough?  Anyway, point is you need a real athlete and Kilman aint

Thats correct Rossal, the margin for error is zero. He has to accept that Guido, Irvine can never play again so put them in the bin with JWP. He has to also accept Kilman is back up even to Mavro. Ideally we get another CB so both never start again but injuries can hit. Less chopping and changing although in his defence that squad is appalling.

Wilson is an impact sub and always was. Not buying a striker in summer has been the biggest failure. We need 2 and quality ones who can score. 

I see no way out. I suspect we wont beat Fulham or Brighton as we have no home advantage at the souless bowl.  I keep looking to the future and young / U21 players.  We need Sullivan gone but suspect he will dig in and think we will bounce back to get his asset value restored. 

Another game where we have a bench full of shite and no attackers. 

I think the squad may be good enough to stay up with a new CB and CF. 

The manager though has what, 7 out of 12 games where his tactics, team selection or subs have been abysmal? 

We can't afford to carry on with that ratio.

Sadly, this is not true.  Our current predicament would, in some ways, be more tolerable if it were the case.  Over the last 10 years, we've been the 7th highest spenders in the Premier League.  The issue isn't one of not investing in the club.  It is the failure to invest wisely that is criminal.

That’s sort of what I’m getting at, though, fella. It’s not about what we spend. It’s about the “quality” we get. Everything the club has is two bob quality. Yet some of it cost a fortune. You could send Sullivan to Harrods and he’d waste his cash on something you could buy at Romford Market for 10% of the price.

I give you Max Kilman as an example. He might have cost £40m and £100k a week. But that bloke has two bob written all over him.

Soul-less athletics stadium. Portakabin training ground. Etc. Etc.

Kilman is a shocker - he needs a competent sidekick to tell hin what to do at ALL times. The bloke has no leadership or initiative whatsoever and the main reason they signed him is because apparently he can pass the ball out from the back.
We've all seen him do that and have been left scratching our heads as to exactly why our club thought he was worth £40million. Nobody else was willing to meet the opening bid at the auction house but our chairman steams in with an offer at double the asking price to prove he is some kind of power broker/football negotiator genius.

It’s the worst transfer in the club’s history, IMHO. It’s that simple. He’s fucking terrible.

You’re right - we’ve spent quite a lot on players and wages. But because we’ve got Del Boy in charge, and he appoints cheap Rodneys as managers, none of them know what the hell they’re doing. So they waste Premier League money on bargain basement drivel.

Martin O'Neill 

I'll leave that there to stew over.

Irrespective of his ability, he’d never consider coming to West Ham again after Brady leaked details of his talks with us (on a previous occasion) to the press. For all his faults, O’Neill is a dignified man, and he thought our board acted atrociously at the time.
