Moyes Ploy Back Fires Spectacularly!
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.
Unless he was referring to a gig at Leyton Orient Moyes alluded to the fact that there was a nice brand new fat contract waiting for him at West Ham, all he has to do is sign it! Well, blow me down with a light feather but his comments have been sectionable, 23 that is.
Moyes either won't listen to, or doesn't have an adviser in place to guide him through his dealings with the media, particularly during troubled times and for him these ARE troubled times. Ironically The 60 year old Scot might have hoisted himself by his own petard as a result of his recent outbursts, thus saving the club and Tim Steidten the effort involved.
Quite frankly there is no turning back now, and having burned his bridges it is a question of when not if he leaves the club.
Of course the team could go on a winning spree and progress in the Europa League as well, but nothing short of top six and a win in the Europa will save him. It may seem churlish to criticise Moyes' achievements but now more than ever people are starting to believe the club's successes have been attained despite Moyes and not because of him!
Tonight sees a very strange scenario possibly unfolding with SOME fans wanting their own club to lose if it expedites Moyes' departure, what a strange state of affairs isn't it? But Moyes opened Pandora's box and the contents are plain for all to see. - Ed
Farcical Europa KO's Except For Bin Dippers Of Course!
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!
Could be worse could be Chelski

Stan The Man
Forums:
Just wanted to say Stan Bowles RIP.
Growing up as a kid, there were certain footballers back in the early 70's. That had that x factor even back then. An evolution of mavericks if you like? Frank Worthington, Rodney Marsh, Stan Bowles, Tony Currie, and of course the greatest of all George Best.
Even back then, they were different. Did different things on the pitch. Saw the game differently if you like. They were the reason I took my ball over the green every day after school.
Stan Bowles was one of the greats, like the rest in the group, Not exactly a role model, but my god what a player!!
Will Still Part Of Moyes Exit Plan!
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.
Fans hoping that Moyes will be gone before the end of the season are more than likely to be very disappointed as the Board clearly have absolutely NO intention of parting ways with their manage before the end of the season.
The club cannot be relegated and are still in with a shout for progressing in the Europa League, however mentioning Still will also remind fans of one of the prime candidates to take over from Moyes.
The Stade Reims club have accepted the situation with some style, Will Still has openly admitted that he is a West Ham supporter, and in a recent interviews claimed that he is open to managing a club in the Premier League, with West Ham his preferred destination.
That caused a bit of drama in France, but Stade Reims director Mathieu Lacour has now jumped to Still’s defence and claimed that he would actually be proud if his manager left them to take over the West Ham job, so that route could be clearly open.
Thomas Tuchel is most people's choice but he may well be holding out for a 'higher profile' position at Barcelona instead, although it would mean him working under very tight financial conditions.Whatever way you look at it, Moyes 'last stand' speech was definitely 'Custeronian'! Full of intent but with little content, Will Still be part of Moyes' exit plan? You betcha! - Ed
Freiburg It Is..Again
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
20 Years Of Dreams
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.
Numerous news outlets have suggested that Steidten could reportedly see a move away from East London and go to Liverpool to become a part of their ‘new era’ project, which could potentially be a crucial factor in whether he decides on who the future West Ham manager could be.
At the moment it has been reported that Tim Steidten has drawn up a manager replacement list, which currently consists of the following:
Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Will Still.
His preferred choice of the three is Tuchel after nearly joining him at Chelsea before his sacking, he is highly encouraging the board to hire him, especially after the latest Bayern Munich news which confirmed he will be leaving the club at the end of the season.
Regarding David Moyes’ position, the board are reportedly “at a standstill”. The club do not feel the necessary need to sack Moyes as they would like to back him for the remainder of the season and could potentially offer him a new contract depending on the future results, however, they understand that if results are not up to scratch a replacement may have to come in.
Despite the numerous different opinions amongst fans, a consensus of views could fit into the saying:
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.
In Football, we don’t often see a manager’s career at a single club last 20 years, but West Ham as a club who are beginning to establish themselves as a top club that can fight for European Football season to season, has to make the executive decision if they want to commit to David Moyes and hope he can consistently retain achieving European Football, or do they attempt to bring in another manager who’s more likely to achieve that and more.
In other words, does the club want to take a risk and plant a new tree, or do they want to keep the reliable oak tree and hope it maintains its leaves.
