Players Mentality
Forums:
Another weekend another must win game and the usual statements coming out from the players....trainings been good this week and we are 100% focused on getting a result at Leicester we are going to do everything we can to secure the right result blah blah blah.....who believes this nonsense? the players themselves? I doubt that having seen a total lack of commitment from the majority of them all season....there has been a total lack of fight to win matches most of the season hence the terrible results we have been getting...whether we stay up or go down most these players need to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror and ask did they really give it there all in matches....of course not but hey its not there fault its the managers the fans the stadium the board the tea lady but certainly not the players!...Leicester have nothing to play for this season now but after last weeks thumping by palace I see them wanting to put the record straight for there fans and what better side to do that to than west ham.....so lets see if our players truly have the desire and fight to win a game they cannot afford to lose....Brighton beat manure last night does anyone see our mob doing that on Thursday? nope me neither so today has to be a win but I will not be holding my breath.
Should I stay or should I go now?

Danny Murphy thinks only 5 West Ham players should be kept next season, of which he names rice and Cullen as 2. So who should we keep and who should we let go, and why?
The Salvage Plan
Forums:
I think most fans agree, the way things have gone not just this season but under G&S has been pretty much dire. We've become a stale side with under performing players. The move to the 'glorious' new stadium has not been met with the same shiny performances on the pitch. to be honest, we're an embarrassment at home. the way we capitulate against teams is disgraceful. I thought Moyes was a safe pair of hands with potential to move us forwards…but now i think not. My suggestion would be to thank Moyes for keeping us up (if he does), and then do whatever it takes to lure Howe to the club. he may be untried at other 'bigger' clubs, he may fail miserably but the point is, we're stale, we're stuck in this 'no identity' on the field. we've got players with the wrong attitudes, inconsistent….its a mess. If, and its a big if, Howe could be tempted for a new challenge, one that perhaps he could see at a bigger club than Bournemouth, i'd say lets take the chance. We would have a method, some excitement especially at home if his history is anything to go by, and he could begin to sort the club out down the tiers into the youths etc using his philosophy. he's young, not an oldie like moyes, he has new ideas, he buys sensibly players who produce and fit into his style of play. He is also very capable of giving bigger teams a good game, something we are useless at nowadays. I can see him working out. We don't have much to lose, he's also got plenty of prem league experience now so not a gamble on that front. Maybe he can't take bournemouth any further, maybe he's ready for a fresh start too? thoughts people?

Secret Payet Watch
Several ex BBC employees who now work for BT Sports TV are still good friends of the Org, and were happy and willing to share a well known 'secret' with us, namely that Dimitri Payet may have left West Ham United for Olympic Marseille but his name still guarantees vast UK based viewing figures. So much so that we have learnt that more people tuned in to view the Marseille Europa League match than those who watched Arsenal's match screened at the same time!Unless there are an enormous amount of Marseille fans living in the UK, the disparity in the viewing figures can mean only one thing, and that is that there are a vast amount of 'secret Payet watchers' who, despite claiming to despise the mercurial Frenchman for his 'traitor like' behaviour to West Ham, still 'adore' watching him weave his magic. Painful though it may be to admit it, but Payet was the only world class player the club have signed for many many a year and his performances for Marseille show just how much he brings to a team and just how much West Ham miss him.
In a few years it will be possible to reveal the real reason Payet had to leave, but having been hit with law suits before we are not going to be the ones to put our heads on the block by revealing the truth, suffice to say his departure was not a straight forward 'affair' and was not football related. Some of Payet's recent actions indicate he still has a great deal of affection for West Ham United and it's supporters, it is not as if he will ever return, but in the fulness of time fans will understand why he left and how the situation was irrevocable.
He might be viewed as a 'snake in the grass' now, but one day Dimitri will be seen in a different light, are you a secret Payet watcher? - Ed

Last night Bayern and Real served up what can only be described as football on another planet ,sensational ,exquisite, a delight to the senses ,a billion light years away from what we are used to ,you could go on trying to find the right superlative to describe this match ,imo one of the best games ive seen ,i only hope the pooh and Roma serve up more of the same tonight ,i couldnt stop thinking how removed it was from our style of play ,maybe just maybe with the exception of 2 of our clubs ,man shifty and the pooh our type of game (head down and go ) or defend like fuk is sometimes fantastic to watch if only for the stiff competition for relegation places ,forget about wnning the dam thing that seems to be open to clubs with big bucks to spend ,im not criticizing our game ,indeed a lot of the time its exciting enough and with the exeption of this year pretty competitive, we're. used to it ,we were brought up on it ,the only thing it does show you is just how how they've hit on gold with this league evev when we did dominate it the writing was on the wall, English fans running riot in Europe although now it seems they are taking a leaf out of our book ,well the Russians the Italians the Dutch anyway ,back to last nights pleasure fest well done Real and bad luck Bayern keep playing this wonderfull type of football and your day will surley come
