Well said. Yes, I'd like CL football (who wouldn't), but given last seasons dross, anything more than 10th is a bonus for me. Yes, make that an aim, but the aim this season was to CONSOLIDATE which we have done admirably. Please also remember, One game doesn't make a season.Demo wrote:
I'll take this opportunity to remind you that we avoided relegation by somehow wining at Man Utd on the last day of the season only 8 months ago. Now you want a Champions League place? Do you not think that you are setting your expectations a little bit high?
A top half finish (and we are currently 10th, 7 points ahead of 11th with a game in hand) will represent true progress this season. I'd hate to think what the reaction would be of people on here if we got into the Champions League. They'd expect us to win it ffs. Some people would be moaning that we couldn't win away at Barcelona or Real. Some of you lot need to wake up. If you think you can buy the Premier League or a Champions League place by spending £40m then you have no understanding of the league this club of ours plays in.
West Ham have ALWAYS been a team that will get a good result against top teams and throw all the good work away against lower opposition. You'd think that you would be used to it by now. How about giving the team, the manager and the whole club a chance to progress at a rate that is sustainable rather than going up and down like a f*cking yoyo.
I used to read on in disbelief when I read some of the posts on this forum, now I just laugh.
And the year before that we were top half and in hte cup final. Last year we underperformed massivly, for a range of reasons, so actually mid table is really no improvement on whre we were two years ago.Demo wrote: I'll take this opportunity to remind you that we avoided relegation by somehow wining at Man Utd on the last day of the season only 8 months ago.

We will only be able to get this behind us and make the most of the next two fixtures if Curbishley does not persist with making a selection mistake he identified on Wednesday in the 81st minute, and then promptly made again today.Memorial Ground wrote:All in all let's get this behind us and make the most of the next two fixtures.
That sums it up, We wouldn't be West Ham if we had turned them over 3-0hornsey wrote:well i for one am not happy that we lost today.
against those c*nts. at their place.
If we are going to push for europe (which we should) then f*ck however scrappy we should not lose at Wigan.
did we do 451?
if we did then whats the ecuse?
442 i could understand, just, no f*ck it im annoyed.
typical west ham.
How many chances or shots on goal did we have today?smuts wrote: And how many goals did the lone striker either score or create? None.
You can't rely on defenders and midfielders earning and scoring penalties all the time.
According to the OS, 4 off and 1 on targetPop Robson wrote:How many chances or shots on goal did we have today?
I agree with you completely Oldun, but this is "The New Beginning". The old West Ham would of beaten Liverpool and then go on to lose to Wigan. But the new West Ham has changed, it's a club with a 5 year plan of year on year CL football, new 60k stadium, increase of prices to help subsidise this new era. Actually, f*** all has changed, except the price increases.OLDUN wrote:I know this might come as a shock to some of you but West Ham United FC are and have always been a mid -table club.I said in another post i have watched us for 47 seasons of which 39 have been in the top flight and in that time we have been top half in only 13 of those seasons.
I wish it was differant but its not but i have never just gone to watch football for success because if i had i would have stopped going after about 2 seasons, i go for the love of my club which gives me joy like on Wednesday and heartache today.
Get over people or walk away now.
Same for both teams? There was me thinking that Wigan played on that pitch every other week.RM9 wrote:I find it amusing that posters and Curbs are blaming the pitch. Firstly, it's the same for both teams, deal with it. Secondly, if you can't pass or trap a ball at this level, no matter what the pitch is like, then you don't deserve to earn 20k+ a week.
If the pitch is poor, then adapt. Go a bit more direct, if the pitch is like a bowling green then play the quick passing short game, it's not f*cking rocket science.
