"The Moysical Mystery Tour Is coming to take you away, coming to take you away, the Moysical Mystery Tour Is dying to take you away, dying to take you away, take you today! That's an invitation, to make a reservation I think I've got everything you need, satisfaction guaranteed!"
Hammers travel across London to the modern massively indebted and as yet commercially unnamed White Hart Lane Stadium from their own massive unnamed Stadium for a clash of this season's Premier League under achievers. Tottingham are struggling to hold on to the coat tails of the Premier League's elite, whereas West Ham are struggling just to be in the Premier League next season, two seasons of steady progress 'count for nout' at the end of the day.
Relegation for West Ham and failure even to reach the 'Con Cup' are genuinely possible, neither club could possibly have envisaged such a desperate and disparate season which still has time for many twists and turns. For Hammers the question has to be asked, "is David Moyes a busted flush?" Unfortunately the answer is almost 1,000 % a resounding YES!
In many areas of life you are judged by your past, but ONLY if it is as an addendum to the future, in the case of David Moyes he has exhibited little if any sign of having taken on board (a) he gravity and (b) the severity of the situation the club now finds itself in, is Moyes in denial? Many fans AND pundits think so!
It is easy to knock a man when he is down, but we are not talking about a 'normal' situation, Premier League players and managers receive such obscene wages that sympathy is thin on the ground, it is hard to fell sorry for someone who earns more in a month than a 'normal' person can earn in an entire decade.
So bearing in mind David Moyes' financial security and accumulated wealth, it doesn't seem unreasonable to have a 'pop' at the Irons beleaguered manager, after all he DOES earn a fortune and has done for many many years! There is nothing wrong with earning huge amounts of money, but when the earners decisions has massive consequences, some of which could be irreversible, then it does seem appropriate to write about things as they are, NOT as they should have been.
David Moyes has a GOOD squad, NOT World beaters but definitely a decent squad to work with. For many years fans pleaded, screamed and tried to cajole the owners to spend big AND keep their mouths shut! Both wishes have been granted and yet the club finds itself on the precipice of the unthinkable, RELEGATION!
Yesterday's results went about as badly as they possibly could, ahead of this afternoon's fixture Hammers find themselves in the bottom three. Only a draw or a win can keep the Wolves from the door (sic), even a point or three will only see the club 'chip away' at what has now become a significant rock fall, a cave in no one predicted and one that no one seems to know how to solve.
The Board have placed their faith in David Sullivan for the time being, but even IF the club do survive and it is a MASSIVE if, Moyes will surely know that his time in East London is coming to a close. Moyes HAS the squad, he just doesn't seem to be able to use it! -Ed

we
are already in the bottom 3 Nev but a spot on post,moyes for strawberry fields forever in fact now
I can't see
Where a win is coming from? 3 points is precious & 1 is "pointless!" If the other clubs around us win like yesterday.We need goals & we need them fast but moyes insists on 1 up top & a defensive system....its a rocky road till end of season
I guarantee today Moyes will
I guarantee today Moyes will do his same stuff,he must do something different,because we wont score otherwise,if Spurs are still stunned after the Leicester result we may get something.
Whats left to say
Its like the Titanic after it hit the Iceberg people still believed the ship would not sink....we are suffering death by a thousand cuts everyone self inflicted
Today's result was disastrous
Today's result was disastrous. Why is it other clubs in peril can drag unthinkable wins from unwinnable situations but with us you know we're gonna lose anyway?
I've got my eye mask and ear phones on, everything crossed and am now going to bury my head in the sand until May and when I pull it out I hope we're still in the Prem League. I just can't watch anymore.
