I will be boring and go for a comfortable 0-2 win for them. It's the default result when we play this lot. I wouldn't be surprised if they get them in the first half and then coast. I'm hoping for a spirited start and some stamina but even if we played to 100% we are so short on players at the mome...

Waking up this morning and it feels like somebody has died. I was trying to put a brave face on it last night but the reality is we are currently in big trouble. That was one of the most abject performances I can remember in a long time. I just really hope that we were that bad because of so many in...

The only positive of the evening for me was this made me laugh out loud for some reason!

Night All

Well that wasn't quite the reaction I expected after Saturday! Terrible, terrible performance. Fair play to Wolves. I wish we played with that much enthusiasm and gusto. I still think we will hit some form again before the end of the season but we might need to be a bit patient with injuries. Arnie ...

You just know that we will bounce back after the Wimbledon game and put in one of the performances of the season. I am sticking with 0-2 but I will also add that we are going to take the absolute piss out of them and dominate the game from start to finish. They may as well just give us the 3 points ...

We will win 0-2

THe problem yesterday is that we could have played all week and we wouldn't have looked like scoring. Is that not credit to Bournemouth for packing so many players behind the ball and organizing their defence so well and playing on the counter attack? We pinged it around well but just couldn't find...

We look in charge a lot of the time. Very un West Ham like.

The final third was missing yesterday and that has been a problem in quite a lot of away games.

But I'm still pleased with the progress being made. Two steps forward, one step back.

I thought we played really well today. We certainly can't be faulted for lack of effort or attemps to go forward. Sometimes it just isn't your day. I've certainly seen thousands of West Ham performances over the years where we have just rolled over and not even tried. Even though we didn't have much...

Yes but he also needs to stop wasting all his energy moaning and arguing with the ref and just get on with his game and do the business

That lineup looks rather inspiring. We could be well worth a point today. But I am sticking to my original decision of not being too bothered if we lose today after beating Arsenal last week. Still buzzing!

I find it hard to believe so many agree with Antonio up front. I know options are limited but with his finishing ability and general play as a forward we may as well stick Adrian up front! I dunno mate. Imo Antonio has put a shift in the last couple of games and made a nuisance of himself for the o...

I actually don't care if we lose this game 5-0. The feeling of beating Arsenal today will keep me buzzing for weeks

Shame that Rice header didn't go in as the lad has been out best player for weeks and really deserves a goal. Good first half but can you really see Arsenal being that crap in the second half? Once they get the first then the flood gates will open and the first half will mean nothing.

I would take that right now with both hands

The closer this game gets the more I am dreading it. If I think back over the 23 years I have been going to West Ham it's hard to think of a team that have taken the piss out of us more than Arsenal have. Whatever their manager, whatever players they have they always seem to run rings around us. I n...

This will be interesting. I would be delighted with a draw but a good showing is all I ask for.

COYI!

Andy Carroll still has something to offer but for the last few games he seems to be playing far too deep. I've no doubt MP knows what he is doing but in the end it came down to a simple cross and header for the second goal which begs the question why more crosses aren't put into the box and why Andy...

As predicted, it was a draw. And under those circumstances I will certainly take it. How many times have we seen West Ham go one or two down and painfully watch the other team run the clock down? We did very well to get back into it and if Antonio had a better left foot we could have won it. But all...

Imo 4 points from Saints away, Burnley away and Brighton at home is a reasonable return so a draw tomorrow will be fine. Obviously a win would be great but lets not get greedy as December was a great month.
