Just wanted to post a quick comment, not a question or anything ,just that does anyone else feel like the last few years under big Sam were a bad dream ,it just seems unbelievable that a little under a year ago we were playing the greatest load horse shite possible and to day we are a team lying in 3rd and with every team in the prem ,without exemption dread ing the thought of playing us ,i must say i felt a little sorry for Sam going down the tunnel at WBA today he must feel its an impossible task hestaken on .
Look at the pile of crap he bought in ,,igot sick of saying it , 2nd division players , the most important thing now is not to loose the run of ourselves, sure we're on the crest of a wave at the moement but lean spells are bound to return ,the thing is can we hold on to our 2 or 3 pocket battle ships ,?i wouldn't mind betting even now there are dark forces gathering ( mainly 2 clubs from Manchester )to lure at least one of them away ,he is provoking a stir in a lot of board rooms ,alreadty he is hero worshiped ,if you get a chance have a look at the vid of him giving his shirt to a young man in our supporters section today and the reaction it gotBilic Interview: Up the 'Ammers
Forums:
Just saw Super Slav's post match interview. Did he really say "Up the 'Ammers" at the end? Or was it "Happy Hammers"? May I say he is soooooooo refreshing. He give's credit where credit is due, he doesn't make excuses, he respects his opponents. There's some other manager today up North whinging about the referee and playing for the 0-0 draw and I am so glad that is not West Ham! Slav was absolutely right to be proud -- like he said, Palace defended deep after the send-off and it's tough to break a good team down. But Slav's strategy was good (introducing Carroll in that situation was the right call), and we got players in and around the box -- just having both Jelavic AND Lanzini there for Carroll's header was crucial. Anyway, as he said, they WANTED to win, and they fought it out and got it. Scoring quite a few goals late on now, a good sign of discipline. Can't wait for Chelski.
Lanzini or Moses

Maybe a bit soon to have this but based on what you know, and you become the manager next season Sullivan tells you, you can only have one. Who do you buy Moses or Lanzini and why?
Another good day at the office!

3 points, 3 goals scored and still unbeaten away from home! It does look very much like Dwight Gayles red card played into our hands and The Eagles rear guard action frustrated us for long periods, a silly penalty to give away but again good to see the full backs getting forward, Payet and Lanzini as well as Jenks on the score sheet and Payets goal wa sa peach. We are looking like a hard team to contain and this is the kind of performance against 10 men so different from our previous boss' tactics against a ten man Hull a couple of seasons back. Refreshing to see players wanting not only to push forward but also willing to track back and help defend. Good movement and a can do attitude.
A major turnaround for us with a few faces still to come back. Payet is a revelation and he clearly inspires those around him and gives the whole team a lift. A joy to watch ... I was at Sunderland for our last away venture and though delighted at the fightback from 0-2 down I was like a lot of the travelling support disappointed that we did not manage all 3 points. Onwards and upwards ! overall good to see renewed confidence and some good play to boot. Well done Mt Billic and his backroom team, the players and not forgetting our away fans magnificent from the off.yeah!

When Did Hammers Last Have Such A Strong Squad?
Ahead of this weekend's Barclay's Premier League 'top six' clash against fellow Londoners Crystal Palace, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has been handed a boost and a headache, with virtually a full squad to select from! When was the last time Hammer's have been able to name FOUR top strikers in their squad? Andy Carroll and Enner Valencia have joined Diara Sakho and Mauro Zarate to complete a formidable forward line up, one which will be aided and abetted by the electric dynamism of Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini.
Without wanting to overly criticise the old guard too much, dear old Carlton Cole did not exactly strike fear in to the opposition, despite giving his all when wearing the Claret and Blue.
Of course it could all go 'pete tong', Carroll is made of glass and could well be a contender for the Kieron Dyer Cup by the end of the season, but even wearing tinted spectacles it is hard to say that West Ham United have not moved on to the' next level' that fans had been promised by continuous spin over the last 25 years, but never saw anything come to fruition.
The future is bright, the future is Claret and Blue! - Ed
