It is rare in this modern age that unity can be found among competitors, however Hammers latest recent downturn has UNITED ALL of the Irons media platforms from KUMB to Claret & Hugh, West Ham Till I die AND all the other newer sites that are available now.

The one thing everyone is saying irrespective of the site or the site's editor's agendas, is that Moyes really has to go! For too long fans have been sucked up by the 'success' drug, sixth here, seventh there in the League and of course the club's 1st silverware since 1980.

There was a novelty hit record back in the sixties when such records sold in vast numbers, many a coke habit and country pad were paid for by the royalties such 'dumned down' music generated, even the great Sir George Martin used to make songs like "right said Fred" before going on to craft some of the Beatle's finest.

There's lack of ambition and then there's total defeatism, guess which particular standpoint Hammers manager David Moyes has adopted? "If we can pick up another FIVE or so wins this season, it will get us in a good position".

Really? What on earth is he talking about? Perhaps he was referring to his local Scottish pub team that he supports and sees with his Dad when the opportunity presents itself!

When the dust was settling on a truly disastrous home defeat against London rivals Arsenal, Hammers fans who needed to travel across London had to endure sharing the same public transport links as the 'full of themselves' Gooners fans!

It might have been OK for the players leaving in their smoked out SUV's and other luxury forms of transport including the blinged up VETO's much beloved by clubs and funnily enough undertakers.

The above is just one of the questions season ticket holders will be asking themselves when it comes to renewal time. On the face of it, renewing is a no brainer, serial Euro contenders and a squad to die for, albeit painfully thin!

The problem is football ISN'T PLAYED ON PAPER! Statistically, fans have never had it so good, but the manner in which results have been achieved is painful, terrible on the eye and hard to be enthusiastic about.

It sounds like a simple enough question but it is one of great significance! By hook or by crook the club has assembled a pretty decent albeit painfully light in back up squad, with the likes of Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus and James Ward-Prowse.

However the player who makes EVERTHING tick is Lucas Paqueta, without him the team seem devoid of creativity, with him they can be good enough to take on anyone! So has the team become a 'one trick pony' relying on our Brazilian maestro?
