Greetings earthlings, somehow, something or someone decided to 'take' the Org over just ahead of the game against Norwich, and it seems that same great power decided it was about time to give West Ham United some divine assistance, how else can you explain yesterday's 'demolition job'?
Admittedly Norwich's zonal marking and suicidal defending made the 'job' easier, but there was always the possibility that the home side could 'have a go', instead they were insipid to say the least, but they still had to be beaten. Step, ney lunge forward, 'Big Mick' Antonio, he with the thighs the size of Oak trees, normally as a West Ham player he would have scored his goals and then finished up with a season's ending injury!
The fact that he is the first Hammers player to score four goals in a game since David Cross in 1981 is indicative of how bereft the club has been of a genuine goal scoring striker who ISN'T constantly injured, and let's face it, the club have had far too many players who on paper should have done brilliantly, sadly they also turned out to be made of 'china'.
Another Hammers trait is to 'reward' a player with a re-newed contract on more favourable terms, the player then promptly picks up a long term injury and becomes yet another of the expensively assembled 'ghost squad'. Winston Reid and Jack Wilshere currently lead that line having replaced the legend that was Andy Carroll.
Michail Antonio is about to enter the final year of his contract, he is 30 years old and has become injury prone in recent seasons, although being forced to return from injury too quickly may well have been a contributing factor in him picking up repeat hamstring injuries. Careful consideration needs to be given when sitting down to discuss his contract extension, both parties need to be realistic, and it is hoped a happy common ground can be found between the player's agent and the club.
Watford are up next, and they will not be anywhere near as accommodating as Norwich, Nigel Pearson's teams are always well drilled and up for the fight, but ironically, depending on results, David Moyes might end up being the manager who oversaw the 'terminal games' for all three relegated clubs!
It is to be hoped by the time West Ham face Aston Villa on the last day of the season that safety has already been attained, if not it could be a really stressful day! - Ed
