Looks to me like Fullkrug needed a holiday at West Ham’s expense when he came to us I thought he was a bit old but as Tim Steiden had made such good signings we all went along with it. Think Fullkrug has played 3games for us and scored 1 goal,he said he would be back after the international break but would be leaving in the winter,he is probably over there now sorting out his next club don’t think it’s got anything to do with an injection he could have had that here

No Kudus,No paquetta and i think we were so much better because we played as a team- only remember 1 shot in in the 1st half but 2nd half we ere so much better at least 10 shots and many more corners. Dont get me wrong I still think we missed Kudus but weve all been calling for pacman to be dropped for a month and Soler was absolutely brilliant those 2 subs won us the game now he can Tweek it and stay in the game b4 Kudos comes back.

In the words of the Flight Director in the film Apollo 13 when all looked lost "What have we got that is good?"

Well... not a lot!

Squad : Old, still small and too slow for the modern game... some exceptions of course. On paper we have some decent players and many were content with the new signings but J Lo is unable to fine tune and balance. We look in the direction of Chavski, their new young manager (who previously worked at the BoM) has pretty much the same squad as the last numbskull but is now getting a tune out of the exact same players who are starting to show their potential. 

Captain : Jerrod is a legend but having the arm band isn't working for me. We have no obvious leader, no obvious Mr West Ham anymore. We miss Nobes but I think the real loss is Dec. Yes, we got over £100M for the lad but he was the engine, the heart beat, the talisman that we lack so dearly. 

Stadium: I was a big fan and tried constantly on this site to spell out the virtues of the BoM but the fact remains its an athletic stadium, no longer shiny and new and starting to look tired and what it was originally intended... Temporary! Ginger on TalkSHITE is right, its the worst stadium in the Prem. Just looking around the capital (not to mention even Everton) we see other clubs with purpose built and in many cases New state of the art arena fit for purpose. Stamford Bridge is still pathetic but even that has plans!

The Manager : Looks like a rabbit in the headlights. He's clearly not up to the difficult task, this guy was never anyone's first choice, in fact there were demonstrations / social media unrest not just in Milan about the appointment of this guy but closer to home. We all know the reason why Sullivan brought him in........available and cheap. Well, that worked well Dave! The season is already over for me, no chance of a top 7 finish so another season without European football which personally I loved. Give the job to Nobes and Kean for the rest of the season until the right guy is available. 

The Board : Not fit for purpose. Brady and Sullivan are obnoxious and toxic but my real displeasure is for Kretinski. He was never going to be a knight in shining armour, only interest was and is to see a marked return on his investment. This will still come once the BoM is in the hands of the club and the stock value rises dramatically. He will then sell and be Offski! The treatment of fans over the Concessions sums up these clowns. Start a war with your fan base (or customers as we are known) for the sake of just an extra £800K revenue, which in the scheme of things is nothing, isn't just cruel its lousy business!

So, what have we got that is good? Very simple... The Fans, Us... You and me!!!
