I’m not particularly superstitious. However, if we were all to put our life savings on us drawing Liverpool I don’t think we would draw Liverpool.

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Got to say I can’t remember a period like it as a West Ham fan and I’m 52 I’m not too far behind you mate and I think it’s a completely different level to where we have been. Our dalliances with Europe before Moyes were a joke (in my lifetime). We could pull AC Milan in the next round FFS. And gues...

Re: Sobriety

Four days. I’m vigilant to the highs and lows. A 5-0 win for the Hammers is a wonderful yet triggering feeling of wanting to literally drink in the game and the reaction to it. A long walk followed by a few lime and sodas and a rewatch of the game shall suffice and leave me in good order for the re...

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

It remains to be seen what the benchmark is. The most recent metric is 14th If the new chap can deliver a season where we finish 14th and win a Cup or a season when we finish 6th/7th and gain European qualification then he will deliver what Moyes has done. However, to make the change worthwhile he ...

Nope, and I don’t think we’d get relegated next season if Moyes wasn’t here. However, I also don’t think we would qualify for Europe and finish in the top 6/7.

Martin O’Neil, Allardyce, Nuno at Wolves, Pochettino and Koeman, Hodgson’s Fulham. They are an interesting bunch. In the case of O’Neil, Alardyce, Hodgson, Koeman and Nuno they all play football which is not always known to be easy on the eye, yet proves to be the only way to break the monopoly of ...

I’ll partially concede Rodgers but in his fourth full season they were relegated…..

Can you name another?

Re: David Moyes' Claret and Blue Army!

Like Pep I think that Moyes employs the tactics and style of play that garners the best results from the resources he has at his disposal. Like Pep and Fergie I also believe that In premier league history there is only one other manager that has managed to consistently keep a club of West Ham’s reso...

Also think I may be finding myself looking at it being completely Europe or bust. Qualify again and he can’t lose his job. Miss out? Time to move on. It’s such fine lines though Wilko. We could conceivably miss out on Europe on GD - is that the difference between keeping or sacking our manager? Sur...

Why is it surprising to enjoy playing in Europe but be Moyes Out? Moyes isn't the only manager that has ever achieved European football with a "non-top 6" How many other premier league managers can you name outside the sky sports top 6 that have secured European football 3 consecutive sea...

Re: Sobriety

I'm also confident that I can sort this out on my own. Good luck with it mate. Personally speaking, the reason I didn't initially tell my wife is because it then suddenly becomes real - the secrets out and I have to do something about it! I also knew she would support me to stop - and that’s scary....
