It will be an absolute travesty if Everton stay up this year.

Fun bit of research for you regarding the January transfer windows of Allardyce, Bilic and Moyes (potential) final seasons:- Allardyce - 2014/15: Position at the start of January: 7th Ins - Doneil Henry, Nene Outs - Mauro Zarate Final position - 12th Bilic - 2016/17: Position at start of Jan: 12th I...

I was having a look back at some of the posts I made at the end of Bilic's reign and I found this one. Kind of feels like we're going on a similar journey. I agree with Bristolhammer's excellent post earlier by the way, and I am ready for a change - but for any manager to be a success, it's going to...

58.2% possession in this game. Two main strikers on the pitch. Fulham did to us what we used to be good at doing to other teams - soaking up pressure, and hitting decisively on the counter. Fitness plays a key part. To soak up play and have long periods without the ball, you need to be mentally and...

I think Steidten will be in that position come Summer. Bar Moyes winning a EL. Tim will have to find a new manager who fits the clubs vision for style, culture (improved thanks to Moyes) and planning from youth to boardroom. We'll have set targets regardless of manager. Like Brighton currently do. ...

What's the point it Steidten is picking players now? We need a plan tbh, everyone on the same page. We have had Husillos, sully/salthouse, Newman and now lear jet Tim all deciding policy in the last 5 seasons. If Steidtens the guy then he is the guy. Get a manager that will work with him and leave ...

Whenever I think about Moyes, I think of this quote that he made in an interview back in 2022:- Being a motivator and a tactical genius means little without anything to work with, which is why Moyes believes recruitment is the most important part of a manager's job, and is loathe to hand over respon...

I hold no issue with you, as you know. You’re thoughtful and accept there is a consequence to any action, and understand the conditions for a West Ham manger under the current ownership more than most. I don't disagree with your post, EVH and we all know where the main issues lie. Having said all t...

Hindsight is wonderful isn't it, but the recruitment has been poor again this year hasn't it? Why can't we ever seem to find any bargains? We never seem to either go for free transfers or be able to convince them to join us if we do. The £30m on Ward-Prowse is looking worse every week. The less said...

Genuine question: Is he better than Flynn Downes?

Fulham have a better squad and are better coached than us. That in itself is a problem. We have a handful of better players who seem to be able to turn up for big games but dont fancy it when the going gets tough.

Season done. 10th to 12th finish.

Probably time to reassess a few things.

The same thing that has happened all season - we got pushed back and pushed, and our defenders were incapable of getting out to hold a higher line. For the last 30 minutes, Ward-Prowse and Soucek didn't get further than 10 yards outside our box and it was wave after wave. I don't know whether it is ...

Scamacca was a poor signing. Nothing about him seemed a good fit for us. Either he was signed with the idea that Moyes would be leaving, or it was a 'moneyball' signing with Newman and Sullivan thinking that they could turn a profit on him. From what I understand about the way Moyes recruits players...

Whilst there is little doubt that some of our squad issues are at Sullivans door can we really absolve moyes from that entirely ? Benrahma and fornals departure with no replacements was criminal but this outcome is the result of several years regression from what was in my opinion a far stronger ou...

I think that there is an element of Moyes doing the best with what he had yesterday - but the one thing that did disappoint me was that we didn't give them anything to think about in the second half. They were able to attack at will, in the knowledge that we were just going to sit back. To use a box...

Great performance from our lads for 80 minutes but ran out of steam. A lot like the Spurs game. Really needed to bring some strength or pace off the bench but we don’t have it. I’ve got to say though, I really hope Moyes gives up on this Paqueta as a false 9. I’ve never seen it work once and I think...

Been thinking about this(I'm bored :grin: ) but I generally like anyone who's had a positive connection with West Ham, even Ince's misdemeanour has faded away and Defoe went right up in my estimation with the whole sad Bradley story in Sunderland. FLJ? well he's a bit dim I think. But I can't get p...

In 2024, anyone who chooses to support their slightly rubbish local club, as opposed to cheering on Man City or Liverpool every week is alright in my book.

You know things are bad when it’s actually refreshing to watch Champions League refereeing.

“I am euphoric at every game and every training session because I feel that I am in the right place, in the right league,”

Genuinely, this sounds like a quote that someone would say 3 weeks before confirming that they are leaving the club.
