Since the beginning of the 2005/06 season, after Alan Pardew's West Ham returned to the Premiership via the Championship play-offs, here at KUMB we have been archiving our Forum match threads.

For the last 16 seasons a record of the fans' response to every goal, contentious referee's decision and VAR call to occur during a first team match has been archived for prosperity in our Match Thread Forum.

Including league and cup matches - plus the odd pre-season friendly - that equates to some 783 matches during which the Hammers have had eight full time managers - namely Pardew, Alan Curbishley, Franco Zola, Avram Grant, Sam Allardyce, Slaven Bilic, David Moyes - twice - and Manuel Pellegrini.

So we figured we'd find out which of those 783 games have produced the most views and posts on the KUMB Forum during the last 16 years. The results may surprise you!
