And yet overall you could argue we've had better entertainment in the last three years then the previous twenty. The idea that we should be going out and playing like the Harlem Globe Trotters every week is pure fantasy. It's stuff like this that stagnates the discourse. Implying there's an overall...

Michail had it right. We gave them too much respect last week. He knows it was a missed opportunity. We were better than them tonight. Never a 33–1 and 76-24% talent disparity between the two sides. Proud of the performance but left with a hollow feeling of what could have been and a general sense o...

I think we should try to play like that in every match.

Sullivan is a shameless ****. Cornet and Johnson are the best we can do off the bench.

Rotten.

This one hurts because it is apparent we threw the tie away with that approach to the first leg.

We could have had these.

I think that's completely fair, and it's one of the first times I've heard it put non-emotionally! However, I would guess that most know as much as the powers that be. Sullivan's track record, apart from Moyes, is not good. Personally, I think we're going to struggle for the foreseeable regardless ...

Would anyone have back any of our old managers up to/not including Pardew? I wouldn't. All the Moyes out people I've spoken to have no idea who they want. It's not their job to come up with replacements. It suggests they don't enjoy the way we play now and would like to change that in the hope of e...

So, you talk to the fans of any other top club and ask if they would want him. The answer will almost always be 'no'. Just like these media pundits that constantly castigate the WHU fanbase, but when asked if they would like him at their club go all coy about it. "careful what you wish for (wh...

the West Ham way

Xabi Alonso seemed to appreciate Steidten to at least some degree after watching his team (their team, to at least some degree?) make ours look like a Non-League side.

Deadly accurate post.

Ambition, coaching, tactics, depth, mentality.

This team is shambolic.

End the season now, please.

Again, boooooooring

This lot are really not that good. In fact, if they were a PL team, they would be no more than mid table. ****ing bombard the **** out of them at shithouse bowl and glee at rheir demise Delusional. They made us look like a Non-League side. Turned a Europa League Quarter Final into a glorified train...

Training ground game

Think Kilman is very overrated.

He had it easy first half. Michail came on and rattled him. For a big lump, I don’t think he’s a particularly hard or strong defender.

Great header though. Shame it counted for nothing!

'direct evidence'. You're talking about a few second out of a clip at the end of a training session of the Holland NT from a few weeks ago, when Cody Gakpo and Jeremie Frimpong (phew, that boy is quick!!!) had a bit of friendly banter. Boys stuff. Reading much in that? Yeah! You’ve got to use whate...

The referee stuff is BS. And in terms of things breaking in their favour? Not really. They're simply relentless in the way they're doing their stuff on the field. Super flexible. And they've good a really deep squad in terms of quality. But surely three-four players are key. Including Tah, Xhaka, G...

Nope, just some direct evidence that at least someone over there might be getting ahead of themselves and overlooking little old West Ham.

I’m glad they haven’t lost yet.
