Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

For me, it's all coming down to who's making the decisions and calling the shots. Let's face it, none of us know how the club is actually run or understands the division of responsibilities between Sullivan, Kretinsky, Brady, Steidten, Noble and Moyes. If West Ham was a normal business, the board i....

Re: Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham Utd Europa QF 1st leg match thread

It’s a blessing really. At 1-0 we’d have spent the next week in a delusional fog and I’m really busy at the moment. For the best. … :( You might have a point there! The fact is that they made subs who were as good as the players they replaced. We had **** all: we brought on two defenders. We're ***...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Well, if Kretinsky isn't ****ing happy, then he needs to get his check book out and exercise his option. That said, if the state of Foot Locker, the Royal Mail and Sainsbury's is anything to go by, then we'll be as lucky with him as we've been with our other 'billionaires'. Christ, we've had more th...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Listened to that live and I thought Souness was very good about the whole situation with Moyes,Phillips etc.He clearly understood our frustration. It's funny agreeing with Souness about something isn't it? He and Pardew make very good points: if we're winning every game playing the way we do, 'styl...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I would love him to go public with what it's been like working under Sullivan. I suppose he won't do that though, as it would harm his future employment options. What if it does? He's 60 and he's been paid millions over his playing and managerial careers and, if he doesn't have ten times the amount...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

I think he should resign. If he feels that he's been hung out to dry by Sullivan, as I suspect we all think he has, he should say so when he talks to the press. Let's face it, he's only got three months left on his contract and he's probably caked anyway so what's he got to lose? I think we have a n...

Re: Nottingham Forest v West Ham United : match thread

Tbf to Aguerd, if you’re going to play him, you have to give him license to carry the ball forward and play it instead of just playing the first pass sideways when there is no one in front of him pressing. He often doesn’t get picked up until he is well into the opposition half. Yes he got turned f...

Re: Nottingham Forest v West Ham United : match thread

While the officials have been ****ing awful even by their own pathetic excuse for standards, it ain't like we'd be 4-0 up without their interference.

We've been absolutely dogshit yet again.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

As badly performing as Moyes is at the moment, the biggest problem at West Ham is Sullivan, always has been always will be. I don't think anyone in their right mind would disagree with you. The only problem is that it's Sullivan's train set and, until someone with the thick end of a billion quid do...

Assuming he gets off his deathbed, I suspect that he'll only be carrying the team until the end of May.

Re: West Ham United FC Vs Arsenal FC Match thread

Unpopular opinion, but Diop was better for us than Argued has been. Diop looks like a combination of Bobby Moore and Alvin Martin compared to Aguerd. While it's nice to have 'recovery pace' and 'long range passing ability', it's much nicer not to need the former because you're standing in the right...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Moyes has pretty much given Sullivan the opportunity to write out his P45 with that performance.

This is 14/15 all over again but, at least Fat Sam never pretended to give a **** after Christmas.

Re: West Ham United FC Vs Arsenal FC Match thread

I feel quite pleased with myself in that I've watched all of this. Can't beat a bit of self-flagellation on a Sunday morning.

Pawson's a ****: giving them every decision when they don't need any help is a bit below the belt.

Re: West Ham United FC Vs Arsenal FC Match thread

As we're unlikely to be relegated, how about we play the U-21s plus Bowen and Kudus for the rest of the season? Couldn't be much worse!

Re: West Ham United FC Vs Arsenal FC Match thread

It's pretty easy to be the opposition manager: surround Kudus and Bowen, try not to give away too many corners and you're golden.
