Countdown clock

After yesterday's late, late goal by spuds, I got to thinking they should implement the same system as Rugby Union and Rugby League where the ref whistles and signals time off and then back on.
It's there for all to see and none of this 5 minutes when in fact it's only 4 minutes and 25 seconds. (as an example)
45 minutes on the clock to kick off each half, then it winds down and only stops on the cue of the ref.
As in rugby the siren sounds at the end of the half / game.
Simples really.
What do you think?

we should have won this

the reason we only came away from that sesspit with a point is so clear , our crap bench , just have a butchers at it compared to theirs , at one point we effectively went down to 9 men, Jarvis hardly touched the ball , and the only time Cole touched it was to give away a free kick in a dangerous area , Noble was a huge loss ,i dont know about you but im starting to go with the idea that the cups dont mean a toss anymore , otherwise how can you hold up that performance with the heap of shite last week , we can only go on now and try and get rid of the inconsistency , get rid of Cole Jarvis and Nolan , every time Cole come on the performance goes tits up , the players just dont have any confidence in him , and their not the only ones

gutted!!!

Hammers Fans Under Scrutiny

The acts of a minority will sully (no pun intended) the acts of the decent majority in all walks and aspects of life, as has been painfully apparent of late, courtesy of the mindless Chelsea supporters in Paris. However before looking down on the actions of those supporters, West Ham fans should be incredibly wary of the fact that the World's sporting press will seize any snippet of negativity they can, and a visit to White Hart Lane provides prime fodder for the red tops.
It should not be necessary to remind people travelling to the match to avoid being sucked into vile banter. That is not to say that they will not be taunted, but they have to rise above the 'base' level and just enjoy a bit of FOOTBALL banter!
Enjoy the match -Ed
As an addendum, the Press have totally launched into this one, a Hammers fan who breaks wind on the tube will be accused of vileness, let alone the plonkers who were stupid enough to make anti-semitic chants on the way to the match! They know who they are, well done! NOT

Sam Allardyce Long Ball Merchant

The stats are now available and they aren't kind: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31428316
Sam cannot hide from the fact that West Ham sit snugly within a group of teams at the bottom of the league in terms of long balls played, long passes attempted, ratio of long balls to time of possession, etc. Although the article on the BBC makes me sick (because it seems like a blatant defense of Manure), there's no way of getting around West Ham being a long ball team. What I'd really like to know is how much this has changed since the start of the season when, from my memory at least, West Ham played attacking football that seemed pretty easy on the eye. I'd be willing to bet that it wasn't until the return of Carroll and Nolan that we started to play this ugly hoofball that once again seems the staple of Sam Allardici's method of play. If you think this is a beat up, it's because it is: Swansea BEAT Manure without the long ball and now they are one point behind us. Thoughts?

Billic

In a different chat someone asked what I thought of Billic as a replacement for BFS. Wow, I always back our managers to the end, I even remember feeling uncomfortable when Lyall out was echoing round the Boleyn. I finally lost faith in BFS when he played our full squad the other night against Southampton for a fruitless point instead of a place in the cup against WBA. I was shocked by his mindset. Roeder, Zola, Grant, will Billic join that list, is BFS better the devil you know?

What is the strategy for the Spurs game?

I read that Sakho and Kouyate are doubtful for tomorrow's game but Collins and Reid should be fit. How will Allardyce set the team up tomorrow? I am hoping Spurs may be a little tired after Thursday night and that we show more application and desire after our capitulation at West Brom. Our 8th place looking increasingly in jeapardy as Swansea did the double over Manure (ha ha) to be within a point and Stoke another point behind. I would hate to see us slide but we have some tricky games to come.

watching the program this morning you could be forgiven for thinking you were back in school and the teacher gave you a slap for being bold , every one of them slated the west ham fans for not going down on their knee's to thank big Sam , the most vociferous was Charlie Nick , they made me as a west ham fan feel like shite , "how dare you come out and say get rid of him , he's done everything you asked of him " and the two Dave's should mind their own business , just keep ploughing their money in , in other word's football fans and boards have no say in whats going on , Jaysus i knew he was the darling of the media but after this he should be on his way to Buck palace to receive a knighthood. No mention of the real problem , that he's lost the support of the people who pay money through the turnstiles every week , sure he did what he said he would do , get us up and keep us up but is that the benchmark we 've set for ourselves , they cant seem to get it through their heads he's lost the" terraces " , he's a stubborn left over from the days of playing defensive football on rain soaked shitty pitches and to me he should never have been appointed in the first place , so sky sports panel , Tony Cottie included , mind you own business, like Liniker and the rest of the BBC shitheads you've never had any time for west ham so if its alright with you lot we'll run our club the way we want not the way you think we should

Reid

Another thing BFS, why are you entertaining soon to be traitor yid Winston Reid. Why when he made it obvious that he thought we were below him do you keep him match fit and on his game. Bung him in the reserves and forget him and use the remaining season for the players who want to play for us as time to bond together.
