Some say it sounded like gun shots ringing across the canal that acts as a moat for the as yet unnamed London Stadium, others as that of a Range Rover Overfinch back firing, which overfinch strenuously deny, however others close to the club thought it sounded like a series of ill thought narcissistic bleetings.

Hot on the heels of his "I'm the one who wins the most games" comment, 'dead man walking' Hammers manager David Moyes compounded the alter reality he exists in by foolishly going public regarding his proposed new contract in East London.

Yet again UEAFA have shown their 'little club-big club' bias by scheduling both West Ham AND Rangers return leg Europa League fixtures for the ridiculous and dreaded 17:45 Hrs time slot. Only Liverpool were handed the 'traditinal' plum 20:00 Hrs slot!

Apart from the obvious two hours and fifteen minute variable, it should be remembered that due to normal European time zones that the 1st leg games actually kick off at 18:45 Hrs for the opposition, the situation is a complete travesty but will UEFA listen to Hammers and Gers fans? Will they heck!

Following yesterday 'statement of intent' from beleaguered Hammers manager David Moyes the minuet of the details are beginning to seep out and West Ham fans will be cock a hoop when they see how the bigger picture is being planned.

Moyes' statement was conspicuous by it's absence from the club's official site and the term 'subject to conditions' has reared its smoke and mirrors head! What does it mean exactly? Well Moyes has been given an escape route that will allow him to leave the club with dignity as oppose to the ignominy of being sacked or let go.

Well, Hammers face up to old foes Freiburg in the knock out stages of the Europa League. The draw could have not been much kinder with the Irons missing out on some big fish left in the pond, Liverpool of course were handed the easiest tie but all in all Hammers fans have little to complain about, it must be because this was NOT a draw for a domestic competition!

West Ham will play away from home in the first leg of their respective tie on Thursday, 7 March, and at home for the second leg on 14 March.- Ed

West Ham fans have been in a state of disagreement for a long period, with inconsistent results looming over the club’s head for the past two years it has brought some concern amongst fans, players and the board of West Ham.

Recent rumours have suggested that Tim Steidten, West Ham’s technical director, has been the driving force behind the idea of having a new manager and starting a new project.

Much has been made of how much better certain aspects of the club are following Tiim Steidten’s appointment by David Sullivan.

Now is the time to see the German’s arrival fully bear it’s fruit. Virtually everyone connected with the club know that David Moyes’s tenure as manager is drawing to a painful yet inexorable end and as fate would have it, two of the stars required to expedite the Scot’s departure have recently aligned.

Continuing with our Western vernacular of the Three Wheels on my Wagon, we again find ourselves in 'Bandit' territory with 'Marshall Moyes' attempting to keep the press and public at bay from his fort in the east end.

Security has been tightened in Moyes' tower block ahead of possible insurgences by 'the disgruntled', of which there are many! Even the lovely Mrs Moyes has been instructed with and made aware of the defensive capabilities of a frozen Haggis taken straight out of the freezer should the outer perimeter defences be penetrated.

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.
